Since the lens aperture is so small, out of focus area wouldn't show up as a bokeh but rather as very hazy details at this focus distance. The lens is very clearly diffraction-limited so it doesn't have the same level of microcontrast as the main or the 3x telephoto cameras, but the images are still acceptably sharp nonetheless.

They definitely need to work on the tonemapping though, I could see the problem with the crane shot straight away as well.

      etijeb, 4 hours agohttps://www.gsmarena.com/oppo_find_x8_camera_specs_quality-... moreThat's AI.

      I been saying it since last year, Chinese brands are relying TOO strong on AI algorithms, but reviewers are praising it. The photos look more artificial than they did in 2014.

      What's the point on having a 1" (or close to it) if sensors from 2020 (1/1.56 and 1/1.3) produce more natural looking shots?

        Are you sure those 6x zoom pictures are with the new periscope lens? I mean look at the smearing of the details! My OnePlus 12 does much better 6x photos with it's 3x crops digitally zoomed.

        Also, I you can't unsee it once you see it - there is a distinct uneven exposure on the crane shots. The part of the sky within the crane girders is a darker shade of blue than the sky around it. I noticed this artifact on the vanilla X8 photos and it exists on the X8 Pro as well.

          didn't like the 6x photos

          but good photos from the main cam!

            jiyen235, 4 hours agohmm interesting, i actually kind of completely agree haha ... moreThat's also a great idea actually. I didn't even think of that. The question is, would there be enough space to have a 5× telephoto that uses the HP9 sensor? Otherwise, great combination that covers a wide range of zoom lengths. f/1.8 on a 1/2.0-type sensor behind a 50/57.5mm focal length sounds SO UNBELIEVABLY GOOD!

              Darth Caesium, 5 hours agoFor the telephoto question, the reason why I think 2.8× (65... morehmm interesting, i actually kind of completely agree haha

              I just think that the Pixel's wide aperture only allows it to be on par with the X7 Ultra in terms of light gathering/depth of field, AT BEST, because the X7 Ultra's UW cam is far larger yk?

              Apart from that i agree with your rankings and stuff haha, i wonder though, why have a larger sensor in the mid range telephoto? Wouldn't you want better zoom range? Like, the Oneplus 12's zoom cam is excellent so how about a 2.2-2.5x mid tier telephoto with a 1/2" sensor and a 1/1.4" 200 MP cam in like 5x or something? That'd be crazyyy i think haha especially if the aperture is quite wide like Vivo's X90 Pro had a f/1.6 on a 1/2.4" 2x sensor, imagine if it was a 1/2" sensor with that aperture or even f/1.8, like ZAMN.

                jiyen235, 5 hours agoi mean 2.8 and 3x aren't that different i was just won... moreJust edited my comment to add stuff about the telephoto combinations btw.

                  jiyen235, 5 hours agoi mean 2.8 and 3x aren't that different i was just won... moreFor the telephoto question, the reason why I think 2.8× (65mm) and 5.6× (130mm) is great is because it provides the perfect jump in between zoom lengths. Otherwise, 2.5× (57.5mm) and 5× (115mm) would also be great, but that's less useful. You could also do 2.2× (50mm) and 4.3× (100mm), which I think would also be just as good, but you'd need to have great dedicated hardware on both in order to make it worthwhile. If so, I'd combine a 1/1.4"-type sensor behind a periscope lens (50mm) and another 1/1.95"-type sensor behind a periscope lens (100mm).

                  I think the X7 Ultra definitely has the better processing over the X6 Pro for the UW, but X6 Pro hardware + X7 Ultra processing + f/1.8 focal aperture would be the dream. The X6 Pro's UW is better than the X7 Ultra's because of objectively better hardware, but the X7 Ultra's one comes really close due to the X6 Pro having some missteps with its software. I don't think the Pixel 9 Pro/Pro XL's one is bad either, but the added depth of field with its f/1.7 focal aperture is more so useful in niche situations and can cause issues otherwise.

                  TL;DR:
                  •With Telephotos: 2.2× zoom (50mm) + 4.3× zoom (100mm).
                  •With UW: {X6 Pro > X7 Ultra > P9P}, but X7 Ultra almost the same and even better in some edge cases. P9P is great too, but not as good.

                    Darth Caesium, 6 hours agoWell, if they can't do 3× and 6× with what I'm su... morei mean 2.8 and 3x aren't that different i was just wondering if there were any good alternatives to that yk?

                    And about the UW cam, which phone has the best UW cam in your opinion?

                    I'd say the Find X7 Ultra and the Pixel 9 Pro XL are tied there. The Find X6 Pro was great but its processing wasn't as mature as the X7 Ultra's, night mode wise at least, they're both essentially equal at night imo, maybe x7 is a little better cus of better noise reduction algorithms.. Huawei dropped the ball with the night mode processing, Honor, Vivo and Xiaomi have sketchy night mode rendering and Samsung has good detail but horrendous noise. Overall, i'd choose the X7 Ultra.

                    So basically, S24 Ultra levels of detail with X7 Ultra level of processing/global characteristics would be the dream UW cam. What do you think?

                      The quality is really bad. Not anyhow comparable with Vivo X200 pro.

                        jiyen235, 6 hours agoInteresting, I think that's impossible considering the... moreWell, if they can't do 3× and 6× with what I'm suggesting, then they should just do 2.8× and 5.6× and not crop and upscale to "change" them to 3× and 6×. Also, the ultrawide definitely needs to improve, and I do think a larger ultrawide could fit if they simply had a slightly larger phone that was slightly wider. I guess that shows you my dilemma of loving slightly smaller phones but wanting the best cameras (ultimately I'd prefer better cameras over smaller phone).

                          Some of 135mm photos have frame misalignment..
                          Main reason I hate multi exposure .

                            Which would you rather have, a 1/2.51" 6x and a 1/1.56" 3x, or a 1/2" 6x and a 3x? The UW cam being 1/1.56" also sounds like a cool thing but i doubt we're getting that anytime soon...

                              jiyen235, 9 hours agoA lot better than the Find X8 but still reeks of some AI tr... moreWith the X8, there were a few images where it was obvious that they had failed to demosaic properly, as there were colour filter patterns on certain windows. There's definitely some very poor software choices that are leading to a multitude of problems here.

                                The images that they took with the Find X8 Pro suffer less from oversharpening and overexposure than the Find X8, but it's still there. They should've gone with a LYT-818 at the very least, but downgrading the Pro like this is IMO unacceptable. If anything, they should've given the LYT-818 to the Find X8, and given the LYT-900 for the Pro and Ultra. To separate the Pro and Ultra, they should give the Ultra:

                                •10-step variable focal aperture from f/1.6-f/4.0
                                •A larger 1/1.56"-type ultrawide

                                •A 138mm 6× telephoto so that it's actually that zoom length this time

                                They could also use computational techniques to try to estimate FoV and the level and pattern of distortion in between those focal lengths to try to better mimic real in-between focal lengths.

                                    Excessively over-sharpened!

                                    Oppo really needs to step down on sharpening and noise reduction!

                                      Rkm, 9 hours agoThe white balance seems way too cold. Was the weather reall... moreLooks natural and fine to me

                                        A lot better than the Find X8 but still reeks of some AI trickery/poor demosaicing/excessive oversharpening, my theory is that it's a mix of all of those.

                                        It seems last year was the last time Oppo continued up its perfect sharpening era, everything looked super duper natural and beautiful. Even the Oneplus 12 took really nice pictures. Now this just looks like any other phone. Not bad, just painfully average, if not above average. The main cam and 3x telephoto shots are the main problems imo, the focal lengths i prefer the most lol.

                                        The UW cam is ok and the 2x is genuinely acceptable, if not good in terms of global characteristics. The 2x seems to not be touched too hard in terms of sharpness and it looks fine. The demosaicing really needs some work though. Look at the branches/ leaves in the 12th photo/the 4th 2x telephoto sample. The 6x also seems to have similar characteristics to the 2x, i actually like the way the 6x shots are handled apart from the demosaicing.

                                        Seems like Oppo needs to tweak the cameras further, the demosaicing seems worse than even the Oneplus 12.
