Yea but sample pics aren't exactly what I would call solid proof. There are tons of sample pics from tons of other smartphones that aren't even at the top which look great. Doesn't mean they are...

The rating does have some merit but it is questionable none the less. I highly doubt a camera without OIS is more useful than a camera with OIS... Not sure whats so bad about Samsung's Camera app either considering the high praise about it from virtually every reviewer. Or is it just "I don't like it cause I don't like Samsung" sorta deal.

And yes, we all saw google's press event. And we all know EIS is a thing that has been around for a while. There is a difference between google's internal testing vs real world and same goes for every other smartphone. The Galaxy S7 has both EIS and OIS where as Pixel only has EIS. A great version of EIS certainly but it still only has EIS. Optical image stablization will always produce more better results than Electronic will due to the fact that the camera itself is moving in OIS. EIS also generally has a loss in image quality and resolution comparatively, specially in low light. But sure, we shall see as the phone continues to lack things other flagships have...

nope - more likely that i'm not used to it. I've used wife's a few times and its annoying to me on the little things. Like on my Moto X I can touch anywhere to take a picture vs having to use the digital 'button' or i can zoom in/out with one finger vs needing to pinch. Quality wise - her's blows mine away. I love how you like to tout how much pixel is missing, when its only like 4 things that are questionably useful to many people. Especially, considering we've yet to be able to see how good the software actually is, such as Assistant or Duo or the actual new camera software.

I was never intending to turn this into a pissing contest. Just wanted to refute your claim that it was priced more with less features. All in all, is similarly featured (+ and -) and priced the same. 

We should revive this discussion in December when Pixel has been out in wild for a bit.
