I definitely prefer how the Pixel handled the colors in this particular shot, though.

It’s clearly ahead of previous Pixels and puts up quite the fight with the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

Starting with a baseline using the standard camera, we can look at how the Pixel 6 Pro compares in standard shots. And finally, we’ll also take a look at how the quality of zoom compares on the standard Pixel 6 versus the Pixel 6 Pro. After that, the Galaxy S21 Ultra, which is currently the gold standard for telephoto photography with its 10x optical zoom lens. Then, there’s the Pixel 4 XL, which was the last Pixel smartphone with a telephoto lens at 2x. That’s the phone the Pixel 6 Pro replaces and one that lacked a telephoto camera entirely. The competitors here start with the Pixel 5. Then, using the resolution of the camera sensor and Google’s Super Res Zoom feature, the camera can max out at 20x hybrid digital zoom. Taking a look first at the physical hardware here, the Pixel 6 Pro packs a 48MP telephoto camera that uses a periscope lens design which enables optical zoom of 4x. One of the bigger additions is the Pixel 6 Pro’s telephoto lens, but with it not being available on the smaller Pixel 6, is it really that important? Let’s take a look. For example, shoot with a 70-300mm lens on an APS-C format camera and your effective zoom range will be 105-450mm for Nikon and 112-480mm for Canon, due to their 1.5x and 1.6x crop factors, respectively.The Pixel 6 series is the biggest revamp to Google’s camera experience since its beginning, and as we covered in our recent review, the results are stunning. The ‘effective’ zoom can stretch into super-telephoto territory. Regardless of whether you buy an APS-C format or full-frame compatible lens, you’ll enjoy the same benefit of extended telephoto reach when shooting with an APS-C body.

However, you’re generally better off buying a full-frame telephoto zoom even for an APS-C camera, as it will remain compatible should you upgrade to a full-frame body in the future. For telephoto lenses, the only real advantage of matching an APS-C format lens to a crop-sensor body is that you’re likely to save a little size, weight and cost. Fitting a full-frame compatible lens to an APS-C body will restrict your maximum viewing angle. When buying a wide-angle or standard zoom lenses, you really need the right tool for the job. One final thing to look out for is whether the lens is designed exclusively for APS-C format cameras, or is full-frame compatible.

Most consumer DSLRs have APS-C size sensors, but these will still work fine with telephotos designed for full frame cameras These lenses have been highly popular since 35mm film photography days, and most current examples offer a good range of features. A more popular class of ‘budget telephoto zoom’ is the 70-300mm lens, with a variable aperture that typically shrinks from around f/4 to f/5.6 as you extend through the zoom range. While 70-200mm f/4 lenses are generally less expensive than their f/2.8 counterparts, they can still be too pricey for many of us, and the outright telephoto reach isn’t exactly generous. And while 70-200mm f/2.8 and f/4 ‘constant-aperture’ lenses might look quite long, at least their physical length as well as their aperture remains fixed throughout the entire zoom range. This results in a more lightweight build, and a more affordable price tag, mainly because the relatively small-diameter optical elements are cheaper to manufacture.

Physically, they’re still as long as their f/2.8 siblings, but with a smaller diameter. If an f/2.8 aperture rating isn’t on your ‘must-have’ list of features, a 70-200mm f/4 lens might suit you better. You can certainly feel the strain in prolonged periods of handheld shooting. For one thing, they’re relatively heavy, weighing in at around 1.5kg.

While a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens is generally the go-to tele zoom for most professional photographers, they’re not ideal for everybody.
