- Ever wondered what's better, a single lens camera,
a dual lens camera, or a triple lens camera?
Well, we're about to find out.
(hip hop music)
So welcome back to What Gear Reviews
and today I'm gonna be comparing
the Sony XZ2 with one lens, versus the OnePlus 6
with two lenses and the Huawei P20 Pro
which has three lenses and the question is,
can you guys tell the difference
and I'm gonna make this one a little bit
more interactive for you guys because I'm not actually
gonna tell you which photo is which
until the very end of the video
and throughout this video, I'm gonna put little polls
up in the top right corner so you can actually vote
on which one you think is which.
And, you know, seeing is believing
and I think some people have brand loyalty to certain brands
like OnePlus, Sony, Huawei
and sometimes that can affect your opinion on the photo.
So in this comparison, this What Gear compare
and contrast video, you're not gonna know
until the very end and then we'll see the real results.
And I just wanna say before I start taking photos now,
if you're finding me for the first time,
make sure you hit the thumbs up, subscribe,
turn on that bell notification so you don't miss
more videos like this in the future.
And also, if you have any suggestions for me
or comments for me, leave them below this video
and I'll do my very best to reply to all of them.
So anyway, let's kick this off with some photos.
So let's kick this off with a rear facing camera test
and this is random camera number one
and this is gonna be a real test for you guys,
to see how well you know your camera phones.
Are more or less camera lenses best
or are they more or less the same?
Well, we're about to find out.
So this first shot on camera one,
you can see quite high contrast here.
Good detail on the dog.
Good detail on the ground.
Even the tree on the right-hand side of the photo
has pretty good detail and good detail
in the cloud and the sky as well.
If we look at random camera number two,
you can see it's a completely different kind of picture.
The oranges and the greens are much more brighter.
It does seem to be sacrificing
some detail up there in the clouds.
The tree on the right-hand side has pretty good detail
but there's bit of blurring around some of the branches
but take a look at that forest on the left-hand side
when you compare to the next photo
on random camera number three.
To you can see in this photo,
it's a lot darker than the other two but maybe,
arguably, more detail there in the dog,
more detail in the foreground
and maybe a more natural photo.
So here's all three side-by-side.
Camera one, camera two, and camera three.
Now, take a guess.
Which one of these do you think has three lenses,
which one has two lenses, and which one
is the single lens smartphone camera.
If I was to pick my favorite photo here,
I'd probably have to say number three
but let me know in the comments below,
which one has done a better job
of photo number one with the rear facing cameras.
So now let's move on to the selfie cams.
So this is shot on random camera number one
and you can see, my face looks super smooth here.
This has taken a few years of my age for sure.
But I think it's sacrificed some detail there on the dog.
The dog's fur almost looks white in this picture.
There's a bit of blurring around the grass.
There's good detail in the background
and if we look at the same picture,
shot from the same place, same time of day,
everything on camera number two, you can see here,
once again my face is pretty smooth and that makes me happy
but a bit more detail there on the dog as well.
But you see in the whites, really blowing out the detail
at the top of the photo there in the trees
and the grass behind the dog actually looks almost furry
and soft and blurry.
So it is a nice photo but I'm not sure,
compared to photo one, whether I prefer this one.
I think I might do.
If we look at camera number three,
you can see the sharpness there.
it's completely different.
The amount of detail behind us and on the grass
and on the dog, just overall looks much more natural.
There's no smoothing going on in my face here
and I don't know if that's a good thing
but it's not about what I think,
it's about what you guys think.
How do you think the three cameras have done here
on the selfie camera test?
Leave that in the comments below
and let's move on to the next section
which is a quick focus test.
Now this is me physically moving the camera
towards a tree and seeing which one
will actually focus on the tree first.
And all of 'em are really, really quick
but when it comes to the stabilization side of things here,
that center camera, number two,
seems to be doing the best job.
And now onto the rear camera stabilization test.
I'm just walking here, on pretty uneven ground,
with all three cameras side by side
and you can see here, the camera on the right
just seems to have the most shake.
The one in the center seems to be holding
the stability better and camera one
seems to have the brightest video.
So let me know which one won the stability test here.
I'm kinda leaning towards camera number two.
Right, so what do you guys think so far?
In the top right corner, right now,
there's a little poll for you guys to answer.
And this will actually serve as a really good audio
and front-facing selfie video camera test.
So base the front-facing video camera
off the audio and also the colors.
How is this handling the light conditions right now?
It's not very bright, to be honest.
Which one of these cameras is filming
the best selfie video right now?
Which one has the best audio right now?
Leave that in the comments below and let's crack on
and take some more photos for you guys.
(slow music)
So let's move on to a color test.
So here's a photo I took of this post,
which had red paint on it.
I couldn't find much other colorful stuff, unfortunately,
but you can see here, the difference
between the three cameras.
Camera one seems to have maybe the deepest red color.
The center camera, number two,
it seems to have the most vivid colors.
And you can see the level of contrast
there on the wood, in comparison.
And then camera three seems
to have a more natural kind of feel to it.
This is a really close one for me.
I don't know which one's actually won this.
Let me know which camera has done the best job
of color reproduction on the rear facing cameras.
So I was looking for more colorful things to take photos
of and this was all I could find, this little flower.
And you can see here,
the difference between the three cameras.
Camera one seems to have the brightest picture
and a good level of color there on that pink flower.
And camera two seems to have done a really good job
of picking up those deep green colors there
and there's quite a bit of blurring going on
in the background as well,
which adds a nice effect to the photo.
And then camera three, in my opinion,
is picking out maybe the most accurate
colors of the flower.
(slow music)
Now, if we zoom in on that flower itself,
which is the subject of this photo,
let's see which one picked up the most detail.
So camera one, a bit of blurring going on there.
Seems to have really picked up more detail
on the branches than the flower itself.
Camera two seems to have lost a lot of detail
around the flower but again,
picking up a lot of detail on the branches.
And then camera three seems to have really pinpointed that.
You're getting a really detailed picture of the flower
and you're also getting that detail on the branches.
So in my opinion, camera three won this one
but the question is, how many lenses does camera three have?
Take your guess now and leave it in the comments below.
And now let's move on to a slow-motion video test.
I've taken the audio off all three cameras,
so you're just gonna see the video footage
but let's start with camera one.
(rock music)
Now camera two.
And now camera three.
So it wasn't the nicest day that I've ever seen
here in London and it was quite gray
but I took this picture of the field
because I wanted to show you guys how well these zoom in.
So this is all shot on the primary lens
and then zoomed in using the manual zoom
on each camera phone.
So at maximum zoom, you can see that tree
at the back, down the right, with no leaves on it.
If you use that as your point of reference
for each one of these, you'll see the difference
that each camera has when it comes to long distance photos.
(slow music)
So here's a photo I took to test out how the phones
handle that strong back-light through the trees.
So it was really quite bright behind those trees there,
and it was quite dark where we were standing.
So you can see here, this is a really nice photo.
The dog is definitely in focus here.
The brightness behind the trees
isn't blurring the photo too much.
Then on camera two, you can see there,
in foreground, it's much darker
and the brightness behind the trees
maybe is affecting this photo just a bit
and then on camera three,
you can see the brightness has blown out
a lot of detail across the field
that wasn't there on the other two photos
but where we're standing seems quite bright as well.
So even though it's quite shaded and dark,
you're getting a good photo of the dog in the foreground
and also good detail on the ground right in front of me.
So believe it or not,
this is actually a low-light photo test.
I tried my best to find a dark spot of the woods
to take a photo of this Sony RX100 Mark VI,
which was actually what I used to film
the intro of this video and the outro.
So you can see there, camera one,
you're getting this really bright photo.
You can clearly see the markings
around the lens on the RX100.
Camera two seems to have the darkest
kind of color on the actual camera itself.
Maybe it's sacrificin' a bit
the details there around the lens.
And it's also significantly blurring
the background there, below the camera.
And then on camera three,
you've got a good amount of detail there.
Good amount of detail on the lens.
The blacks are quite deep as well,
much deeper than camera one, for example.
I'm not sure which one I like the best here.
Maybe camera one but maybe camera three.
I don't know.
If you were to look at these three photos right now
and say, right, that's the one with three lenses.
Which one would you say that is?
And you can answer that question
in the poll in the top right corner.
And this last photo rounds off the comparison video.
I've tried to keep it as short as possible.
And you're about to find out now,
which one is which.
(slow dance music)
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this video.
If you did, make sure you leave a comment below this video.
Subscribe, hit the thumbs up.
And if you wanna check out another video similar to this,
which I made recently when I was on holiday,
the RX100 versus the Huawei P20 Pro,
that should be at the end of this video.
Hit that thumbnail, check that one out.
It's pretty cool
and it's an interesting result as well, at the end.
Anyway, I'll see you guys in the next one.
Don't be late.
