In this video, I'm testing out the Google Pixel 8's cameras to find out whether it could be your only camera for creating content for YouTube. We test out if it's good for a-roll and b-roll, if you can create good quality thumbnails with it, if it's microphones are good enough for recording voiceovers, what the experience of transferring files to your computer is like, and if the Pixel 8 could be used for livestreaming.
