TheHuawei P30 Promade waves with its camera setup.
And to a large degree, it succeeded.
As someone who dabbles in photography, the P30 Pro immediately piqued my curiosity.
Now let me tell you why.
Photography is all about precision, the P30 Pro isnt
40% off TNW Conference!
Its far from perfect, but it was never meant to be a tool for professional photographers.
This brings me to my first and my biggest problem with the P30 Pros camera: it lacks millisecond-precision.
Frankly, its a drawback that nobody who shoots fast-moving environments can ignore.
I havent timed it, but its enough of a gap to miss a moment.
Maybe its the AI assistance, I thought.
Nope, it wasnt.
What if I turn off RAW images?
Nope, that didnt help either.
I think its Pro mode is a bit undeserving of the name.
This practically makes the feature unusable.
One thing I stressed in myFujifilm X-T3review was how malleable its RAW files were in post-production.
Huaweis RAW files, however, are tougher to manipulate.
Lightroom struggles to isolate shadows in P30 Pro snaps, which often results in excessive vignetting.
So at least theres that.
Things move so fast out in the streets that missing a beat could quite literally cost you a shot.
The P30 Pro cost me a lot of shots.
The P30 Pro pretty much doubled the average time I spend on a snap.
At times, I simply gave up.
Unfortunately, this story exemplifies my overall experience with the P30 Pro.
The delay in snapping pics made it dreadfully difficult to frame and time shots.
It turned an activity that should be about capturing a moment I had anticipated into guesswork.
In turn, that made me play it safe.
I shied away from experimenting with the P30 Pro.
Instead, I defaulted to scenes Im well familiar with, scenes Ive shot before.
Would I put them upon my Instagram, though?
Maybe on my Stories, but I doubt Id immortalize them on my feed.
