LG G4 Camera Review! Features EVERY photographer is going to LOVE!

LG G4 Camera Review! Features EVERY photographer is going to LOVE!

 

I received an amazing LG G4 phone as a Verizon Ambassador and the camera is AMAZING! A little while back I compared my Droid, iPhone, and Samsung cameras by taking the same picture and putting them all together. Well when I was introduced to the new LG G4 phone I was excited to learn about all of the amazing features the camera had and was wanting to know if the camera really would beat the Samsung Galaxy 6. I was concerned on whether or not the camera would REALLY hold up compared to all the other cameras. Luckily I had the ability to compare all of these different cameras to tell and share, which one would be better!

Guess what?! I am giving ONE lucky reader an LG G4 for FREE! This prize is for US only and all you need to do is fill out the form below to win. Please only one entry per household.

The new LG G4 allows you to shoot in automatic, manual, simple, and even in RAW! The LG G4 has a larger processor and allows you zoom more without sacrificing the quality. Also, if you like taking pictures with a good depth of field the LG G4 has a 1.8 aperture and is also amazing for low light.

My TOP LG G4 Camera Review Features!

 

The sensors: The LG G4 has two cool sensors on them, which are the color spectrum and the absolute white recognition. The color spectrum allows the best colors to shine through for the brightest colored pictures. The white balance is a sensor that helps determine what in the picture is true white. If you have ever worn a white shirt, taken a picture, and then noticed the shirt looks a little blue or even a little orange you might not have your white balance set correctly on your camera. Although the LG G4 if only a phone is has this ability to determine the true white for you.

Optimized Stabilization: The lens actually moves around as you shake to keep the image focused and stabilized. I can now hand my little girl my phone and ask her to take a picture and I can actually be focused. I think of the “Yes, Man” movie where they run and take pictures as they are running around. NOW, images would actually be quite a bit focuses.

Selfie Screen & Gesture: These features are amazing! First of all I NOW don’t have to worry about pushing a button to take my selfie I can just make a gesture. See you later, selfie-stick! PLUS it doesn’t have a forward facing flash but the screen LIGHTS us as if it is your flash. Plus, I felt like I looked airbrushed compared to my iPhone when I took two selfies the other day to compare!

Answers at the bottom of this post.

There are other features that aren’t camera related, which I LOVE about this phone, the curved design help protect some of the drop shock if you were to accidentally drop your phone. The buttons on the back of the phone instead of on the side allow for a bigger screen and yet more compact to keep the dimensions smaller! It also has a removable battery and SD cards so you can keep back ups. You can insert all the way up to a 2TB size card into your phone! My computer only has 200GB so what a HUGE storage! Last, I am loving the screen display and the battery life has been pretty awesome too!

I like the LG G4 in Manual mode over all of the other ones.  The Samsung was a close second for sure, but when it comes to cell phone photography I always have my phone and I never want to miss the opportunity to capture the picture!  I liked how the LG G4 Manual captured more detail in the flower as I was focussed on it.  The Samsung Galaxy 6 captured a bit more quality but took away from a bit of the detail. Shooting in Automatic on the LG G4 triggered the flash giving the flower more of a washed out look than I would have wanted.  I would have had to turn the flash off to capture a better picture.

    I use my phone for photography ALL the time!!! I barely use my camera anymore because my phone is more convenient.

  10. Rommel says

    I don’t have a digital camera so my phone is what I use for all my photography. And since I always have it with me I never miss a moment to take a picture when I need to. It’s much more convenient than carrying a large camera around.

  12. David Birmingham says

    On the sweepstake website bloggers have a category where they may post all blog sweeps and when they do not the editors must constantly move the post to the proper area. The non-bloggers get upset because it is so simple to do it correctly the first time, and by association the sponsors name gets tagged with the blogger when it doesn’t have to.

  13. Elizabeth Ray says

    Never. My phone does not work for photography. Only making and receiving calls and texts. (It doesn’t even have a voice-mail option.) I use a seperate phone, camera, gps, and fitness tracker. Too many gadgets, and all annoying. My friends say I need to enter this century and get a new, modern cell-phone. What can I say – they’re right!

  15. Kim D says

    I have a very old style lg flip phone still, so I do not take photos with it. I often steal my boyfriend’s iphone to take photos when we visit places though!

  18. Jenna H says

    I use my phone to take all my pictures. I haven’t used my camera in so long. I just see it as an extra thing to carry around.

  20. Diane B says

    I love taking pictures! My current phone doesn’t have the best camera in it, but love taking pictures daily!

  21. Lisa Grassetti says

    I use my phone for photography when I want to keep memories of like my dog, or when I go on vacation. I am not a big selfie person but I do love to take photos of the outdoors and animals.

  41. Taylor says

    I use my phone often to take group pictures remotely with my smart watch. So I would love to have a phone with a crazy good camera like this.

  43. Anna Green says

    I use my phone all the time- Since it’s with me everywhere I go, I find the camera of a phone to be one of it’s most important aspects. I take pictures every day.

  44. Ruy M. says

    I use my phone almost daily for photography purposes. I take endless photos of sunsets and wildlife and my animals.

  46. Kimberly O says

    I only use my phone nowadays – I can’t remember the last time I even touched a real camera!! Thanks for the chance.

  47. Valencia says

    I don’t use my phone for photography. It’s not a smartphone and doesn’t take good pictures.

  48. Debbie F says

    I use it whenever I don’t have my regular camera with me – which is usually always. 😀
    thanks!

  51. Angelica says

    I use my phone for photography at least several times a week, my actual camera is just collecting dust. My cell phone camera is only 5MP, so a cell phone with a camera like this would be a huge improvement! I can’t believe it has a RAW option!

  58. Ricky H says

    I use my phone all the time. We have a good DSLR camera, but do not want to lug it around for everything. Having a phone that would take high quality pictures, would be awesome!

  59. Dawn Monroe says

    I use my phone for pictures of my grand kids and family several times a week. Its becoming a hobby of mine.

  60. Betsy Rubendall Barnes says

    I use my smartphone for all my photography. About 3 years ago, I used to use a camera, and then discovered using my smartphone was easier once I utilized the photo settings. 🙂

  69. Melissa Hoelting says

    I use my phone camera all the time! With 5 and 8 year old kids, they are always doing something that needs a quick picture.

  72. JESSICA C says

    I use my phone camera everyday. Yes I still have a old school flip phone.. I do need a better phone for better pictures.

  85. Ally says

    I always used to carry a little point and shoot with me, because I couldn’t stand the quality on my phone. Since I got a new phone it’s been better, but I still prefer my camera. It’d be nice to be able to consolidate!

  91. Judith says

    I love the convenience of having a camera with a cell phone. All the photos were good but thought the photos taken by the LG G4 were great.

  98. Hideki Yamada says

    Actually quite rarely do I use my phone to take pictures. I do not like to have clutters on my phone, and I am not much of a photo shooter snyway.

  107. Sheila V. says

    The camera features are awesome. I loved the differences in the clarity & colors of the i phone 6 versus the LG G4!

  112. Lianne says

    I pretty much exclusively use my phone for photography, and I have a baby, so I use it all day every day! 🙂

  124. CaseyB says

    With 2 kiddos I use my cell phone camera almost every day!!! And I cannot stand my current camera :-/ I take lots of extra unnecessary pics trying to get one that looks quality.

  135. Jocelyn Dorsey says

    I use my phone 80% of the time to take pictures. Would to have this phone. The camera seems amazing.

  137. michelle fuller says

    I take pictures with my cell phone every time I go on vacation. Also, when my family has special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, etc., I whip out the cell phone.

  139. laura deck says

    I use my phone every single day for photography! I rely on it to preserve my most precious memories!

  140. MellyR says

    I do not use my phone that much for photographs since the quality of photos isnt that good so it isnt worth the effort.

  142. Michelle L says

    My daughters and I walk daily, and at least one of us uses our phone to snap a photo most every day.

  143. Lisa Weeks says

    I use my phone for photography ALL THE TIME. I havent used my camera since i got one with a somewhat decent camera this one is soooo much better than mine OMG ❤ thanks for the review and giveaway!

  148. Mendy Dinsmore says

    I use my camera on my phone weekly. I use it more often if I’m posting on the local yard sale lists.

  164. Meghan Malicoat says

    I use my phone for taking photos on a almost daily basis. I don’t even own a regular camera anymore.

  166. Sharon Rooney says

    My cell phone is the only way I take pictures. I always have it with me so when the opportunity arises it’s always there and ready to capture the special moments..

  174. O. Hmptn says

    I used to all the time. Now I can’t since my phone is no longer working. I would use it regularly for pictures if I had a new one.

  178. kelly tupick says

    I do not use my phone at all for photography as my phone is awful for taking pictures. i have a tracfone and i can’t stand it.

  189. Mary Bearden says

    I don’t right now as I can’t afford a smartphone!! I have been trying like crazy to win one but it looks like I might never have one. I just have one of those pay as you go, the cheapest that they have. Living on Disability, things like this are not in the budget! This one looks so nice and looks like the pics come out very clear.

  195. Rhonda P says

    I seldom use my camera anymore, instead almost all my pictures are by phone now. Especially on vacations!

  205. Susan Thevenard says

    I use my phone camera for everything! I would love a camera that takes awesome pics of my precious almost 4 month old! Thanks for the chance!!

  206. Betty Walker says

    Used to use my phone all the time.. but now it is old and tired.. and takes crappy pictures!! WOULD LOVE to have a new camera to take lots of pictures of my new grand-babies!

  212. Jamie Nelson says

    I use my phone for photography a couple of times a week. Most of the pictures I take are of my dog >__>

  216. Allicia says

    I use my phone a lot to take pictures. I don’t usually carry my camera around, and I always have my phone on me. I wish it took better quality but it gets the job done.

  222. @snickerdoo2 says

    The LGG4 looks amazing!! A friend has one and her pis are truly better then anyone elses cell pics- she also loved the ease of the phones useage- found it very easy to start using without difficulty!

  232. Stephanie o'day says

    Daily!! It’s so much more convenient to use my phone’s camera, rather than dragging my camera everywhere I go. You never know when you’re going to need to take a picture of something or something happens and you just want to take a picture of it! Plus, it’s so much easier to share by using your phone!

  234. Tim M says

    I use my phone to take pics every day. So convenient. It would be nice to have a higher quality camera.
