I'm very pleased with the point cloud technology called "depth cameras". What was, and is, a gigantic attachment to the xbox is now smaller than my fingernail and there's two of them in the Iphone X series.

What I'd like is for greater range and more situations for the algorithmic depth to kick in (ie Instagram's focus camera). My use of exchangeable lens cameras in traditional form factors is about to disappear if I can use it for selective focus on subjects 20 feet away. (Note: my use of cameras are a means of expression, and although I'm well versed in the technology and discipline I don't have any interest in the elitism of how an image was captured.)

I don't think this new generation of Iphones achieve that, but its an area I'm watching.

The other improvements suggest a 2019 or 2020 model will be amazing.



What I would like is for a non processed photo to be stored along with every processed photos. I have multiple photos on both the Pixel2 and IPhone where the computational photograhy algorithms got the scene very very wrong. Would have been great to have a non processed fallback in these cases.


that would be good, for now there are apps for that. Your pixel2 should make it easy for any third party camera to be your main camera app.
