Guys, could you show some indoor photos please?
some talk about really bad quality...
http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...bleme-bugs-usw-nur-fakten-sgs2_ausschnitt.jpg
its not great, nor is the video, at least when I compare it to my iPhone 4
I've never seen a mobile based camera that didn't take poor indoor photos compared to outdoor. The HD recording is the same, great outdoors a little poorer indoors.
Hmm, that's a crap photo but I took a couple photos and some hd video on my SGS2 and it looked great. All indoors.
Btw, that photo is a load of crap!!! If you look at the image resolution, it's not even 1MP. The SGS2 camera can take photos at 8MP. Even the front camera resolution I believe is better quality than that image.
TL;DR : Don't believe the **** some people post.
I am planning to buy one so was hoping the camera would be good....
Have you tried playing with the camera settings? cause the reviews showed it had a lot of camera settings to play with...
please if possible try diff settings and let us know
i think the original picture has 8 MP but this one is cutted out of the original pic
here u can see the orginal photos, there is nothing cutted.
the user is very frustrated about the camera

three links above are 8MP rubbish, have a look.
Das die Kamera zum kotzen ist, bestreite ich nicht sondern unterschreibe es =)
the cam make me freakin out - negativelly
Can honestly say I don't have this problem. I downloaded the image and checked the metadata so they are from an SGS2 but my theory is that perhaps he got landed with a hardware defect.

Natascha303 did not mention that this was only a cropped part of an full 8MP image to show the compression artfacts and image noise in more detail.
btw. It was me who took the photos. So if you have any questions....
Received it from Expansys UK today. (ordered yesterday)

sorry but does it look bad on your monitor?
I'm just trying to make the point that if your not printing these images or using zoomed in crops for wall papers the image is just as good as any other phone camera.
I'm not sure what you are expecting?
All I saw was noise, camera shake, and little in focus. Other than noise, it is not a camera fault. However I expected better resolution for an 8MP snapper, but it is a tiny sensor.
I am uploading some shots of Samsung G2 vs HTC Desire HD....

I went to see a Mozart yesterday and a HD7 today and I can say personally I find the Mozart camera waaaaaay better. With the Mozart you can mmove the phone around and take a picture and it is perfect, no blurring whatsoever. But on the HD7 even holding it perfectly still it was blurring. BUT the HD7 is so much better looking! Both me and my missis were blown away but the Metro UI, so smooth and responsive.
oh really？can you show more about them？such as cpu。。。。
no review without shots man! show samples!

That pic is from the HTC 7 Mozart, I got one from Telstra on the launch day. I had issues with the headphones so now I sent it to back to HTC. I took that a few days back in the macro mode
what are the different modes for the camera? from what i read there aren't any.
My touch pro has a good camera with a lot of modes and brightness settings I use, this is a feature that I think should be available for the mozart.
I dont have the devicce with me now, Will add it once I get it back. If I forget just give me an shout on Twitter @1800PocketPC

The scene modes on my Mozart are: Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Sports, Beach, Backlight, Candlelight & Macro.
There is also are also options to adjust the metering mode, resolution, effects and Flicker correction but that's about it.

From the bad engadget review it sounded like it didn't have much to prove. Id really like to see a professional photographer review this phone for the least and not some worthless teenager. Those modes do sound reasonable. .
Hello!
I'v noticed that left part of pictures taken by my HTC evo 3D are a bit blurry?
could you guys try to take some pictures outside, and inside and check it?
Using Leedroid ROM + Kernel
I will upload some pics as soon as I get home.

Have you tried cleaning the lens first? A dirty lens can easily blur sections of the photo. I'm at work and on mobile so it's a little difficult to see in detail how the blurring is.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
looks normal, whats wrong with the photos?
Taking another look on a monitor, I do see some things but unfortunately it's the software (most likely). What you're expecting is sharp photos, right? Who wouldn't? Well, the Evo 3D compresses the photos pretty significantly. There is/was an apk of the HTC Amaze camera floating around the GSM dev thread you can try. I'd recommend the apk to install vs the zip to flash so you can easily remove it. There's no compression with that one.
Could you take a picture of maybe a table, wall with some texture. I kind of see what you are talking about but cannot be for certain with the pictures posted. Are you seeing that in the first picture, the boats and the bottom of the light pole are a little blurry and on the 2nd picture, you are seeing the trees on the left blurry? If you could get a pretty solid object to take a picture of, it would make it easy to see.
I didnt had any colored textures around, so I used two pieces of paper with text on it.
1st - Right paper was focused in middle (Used light)

2nd - Left paper was focused in middle (Used light)

How the hell did you suceed to get such good photos?
I'm using Leedroid newest ROM and newest kernel with amaze camera.
What could be the problem?

I used stock camera and stock kernel I always make sure my lens are clean and have at it with the right light.... I also never photo shop any of my pics I took lol.. I like the camera on the 3D just the 5mp takes great shots..
3D is kinda a gimmick not so much a fan of it but still like it...
That last pic is when a tornado was getting ready to touch down ....
I am on Fresh ROM by Flipz
So final solution is to send it on warranty?
Sending it back may mean you get hboot 1.5 if you don't already. I didn't see that much wrong but check for dirt or scratches on the lens as mentioned before. It could also be a hint of depth of field if its only affecting portions of the image. That's not likely with our lens, but it is possible. Macro photos with this camera have depth of field very obvious.
Iv'e clenead my lens, they are like "baby's ass" but I dont notice it on videos or 3D photos, only on 2D photos I notice that focus problems.... while on videos there is no such problem...
Please advice

Sweet. Thanks for the link. I've been looking for it. Lol.
I got to try out the stock camera on my DNA today.
The pics do it justice in high light situations. But noticing that they will do poorly on Zoomed and dim photos.
Here are unedited shots.

Any tips on enhancing it even more to get the most out of the DNA camera? any mods?
In low light conditions, switch the ISO to 200 and use flash, it will take decent to nice pics that way, especially if the object or person isn't that far away... It may be a little hard to see the object/person but I think it does well..
Nice pics
Hope it helps
You might also note that the default resolution w/ a widescreen (16:9) picture is only about 6 megapixels. If you switch to the 4:3 resolution, it will use the full resolution of the sensor and give you 8 megapixel pictures.

One thing to keep in mind if you do this is that if you want to use the front camera you should switch it back to 16:9 to get the most resolution out of that one.

If you use dropbox, box, or bitcasa, you can automatically sync your pictures to your account. Take pic, auto upload, then delete off phone (if space is an issue.)

The 8 megapixel picture will produce a larger file, but does it actually add in terms of better sharpness and richer details? I am just worried that the relatively weak sensor (it's a cell phone after all) will not be able add much more useful data beyond the 6 default megapixels, just more interpolated fluff.

My understanding of the way the sensor is creating widescreen (16:9) pictures, is that it is cutting the top 10% and bottom 10% of the picture off. Setting the camera to 4:3 gathers data from the full sensor. I don't think it the interpolation is changing.
Another way to think about the 16:9 picture, is if you set the camera to take a 4:3 picture, and then printed the picture, you would have a picture with a 4:3 ratio. If you then cut the top 10% (or so) and the bottom 10% (or so) of the picture off of the print, you would then have the same 16:9 picture that you would have had if you had the camera set to the default setting. It doesn't really effect the 16:9 picture, but you aren't utilizing the full surface area of the sensor.
My wife's old iphone 4 seems to take way better low light pics and video (HAM2 camera is jittery when taking low-light video, not smooth at all) Are there any camera tweaks to be done? any settings to change? Thanks!
The B148 update supposedly helped a bit, but I haven't tested it yet. But if you've already updated, I'm afraid there's not much else to do.
Phones like ours are cheap for a reason, meaning they have to be "bad" somewhere. Cameras are never good on Androids of this price range.

That's cool, I understand. I guess the majority of pics & videos happen outside in the light anyway. Thanks. p.s. I figured out how to silence the camera and video camera sounds using ES file manager, so that's good.

Sure. I followed this link and scrolled to the bottom where it talks about rooted devices. You're basically just adding a small addendum to the camera sound file names in the system. Works for me, but who knows what the long-term effects will be. Do this at your own risk, I take no responsibility for your actions. Do not do this if it is illegal in your country, check your laws.
Some third-party camera apps will give you additional options, like higher ISO, that are not available in the stock Huawei camera. lgCamera has been mentioned in another thread here. I'm partial to OpenCamera. Paid options like A Better Camera provide additional modes. But even with all these options, I think the limiting factor for low-light photography with the HAM2 is focus. It becomes very uncertain in anything less than bright light.
Sweet, it works! You should make a thread for it, I reckon.

Will do.
I work sports leagues and tournaments and get a lot of teams asking me to take their picture. Sadly, it seems that ANY iPhone takes better pictures than anything I've dragged out there. In order of my use- Optimus V, Samsung S2, Note 2, and a Nokia 520; also a few small tablets, usually wrapped up on the beach so no pictures there.
Once I realized that the HAM2's camera software doesn't allow flash when in HDR mode, I began looking at other camera software on Google Play. I recently bought Open Camera. It has so many more options, including flash when in HDR mode and a night mode. Here are photos taken on a walk today taken in HDR mode with the phone software and Open Camera.

I'll get some photos in night mode over the weekend and post them.
I've got some time ago this app for free and never really used and now I wanted to give a try with a JPG comparison and for my surprise it is way better than stock, in the attachment the samples.
This is the link for the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riseupgames.proshot2
For the Proshot picture I shot in: JPG, P, ISO 50, no noise reduction, Detail turned off, IMG+ turned off, Topaz Denoise and Sharpen.
Proshot seems to be way better than stock, its a pitty it does not support 50mpx yet.

Wow.. look way sharper... Do you have any other comparison like outdoor? ppl?
There are many version of gcam available and not really complicated to install.
Is this better?
Hmmm, the stock image looks either out of focus or soft by motion blur... would it be possible to show other samples, also from other scenarios ? That would be great
Does Proshot support all lenses on the S23U ?
Both pictures where shoot in the same condition, I will try to do other test but the test shows detail and color rendition

The problem is that this is a painting so we have to point of reference in our mind as to how exactly it looks in real life. If you go out and take a picture of like trees and buildings, it's easier for us to compare. Though I agree that proshot does look sharp and nice! Just hard to tell if it's not too sharp compared to real life?

I will do more testing because in some test I did today seems that even if I disable in camera sharpening, the app applies sharpening. Other thing I found is noise pattern this camera creates that is more difficult to Topaz to remove (somethin that not happen with Canon for example) but I will arrive to a bette conclusion when I do more test.
What about ProShop post-processing? Will be great some examples of outdoors pictures vs stock cam...
As long as the RAW issue with ProShot on the S23U is not fixed this app is virtually unusable with this device.
When shooting RAW you always the the image from the 1x module even when using 0.5x, 3x or 10x.
At least the guys at Rise Up Games are aware and looking for a way to fix the issue.
Also video stabilization is not present or working on the S23U in combination with ProShot.
