Motorola New Moto G - Camera and Video
Users will indeed like the camera experience on the new Moto G. Camera specs have been upgraded. The rear-facing camera has an 8-megapixel lens, in comparison to the original Moto G which had a 5MP shooter.
Last year's model was hardly capable to deliver excellent photographs. The new model still manages to deliver some improvements though. We found sample pictures less noisy and superior.
Photos are excellent for a smartphone, but they're still not at par with low-end point-and-shoot cameras. The new Moto G is significantly faster to focus in certain lighting conditions. There's a 2MP front facing camera, too.
The second generation Moto G is capable enough to shoot videos in 720p format. And though the HD quality was bright and sharp, it's got some minor issues. We'll discuss them sometime later in our detailed review.
