Pixel 8 Pro vs Pixel 7: A Travel Camera Upgrade
After many kilometres on the road with my trusty Pixel 7, I’ve upgraded to the Pixel 8 Pro—and it’s quickly becoming my favourite camera for capturing travel memories. From wide coastal views to fine textures in trees and trails, the difference is clear.
Here’s a direct side-by-side comparison from the same lookout near Ocean Shores, NSW: click the image to view the details.

Key Differences
-
Sharpness: The Pixel 8 Pro resolves more detail, especially on the distant headland and foliage.
-
Colour: Richer blues and more natural greens. The Pixel 7’s colours feel a bit muted and cool.
-
Dynamic Range: Shadows are deeper and skies more balanced on the 8 Pro—nothing looks blown out or washed.
-
Noise & Texture: Less smudging in the trees and better clarity overall.
Why It Matters on the Road
When you’re living light, your phone is your camera. I want quick, crisp, natural-looking shots that capture the feeling of a place. The Pixel 8 Pro gets me closer to DSLR-level quality, without any extra gear to carry.
Final Take
If you’re a travel blogger or camper who loves photography, the Pixel 8 Pro is absolutely worth it. I’ll be sharing more comparisons and camp scenes as I go—stay tuned.
