Since there's no way to adjust shutter speed, all I can do is point and shoot, and hope the camera does the rest properly. The Evo 3D is quite disappointing. In theory a lower megapixel count should mean larger photosites, and better low-light performance. I can't comment on that for sure, since I don't know what speed the cameras are using, but I can say for certain out of the box it isn't performing as well as the original Evo.
Both Evos using stock (Sense) ROMs, camera apps set to highest quality, all settings zeroed.

Yeah, I'm really not impressed with the Evo 3d camera at all coming from the Epic 4g. It's camera wiped the floor with the 3d's. Wish I could switch them out.
It doesn't do good in low light..but I've taken nice daylight pics
And is it just me or can u not erase a picture if u don't delete it right away..I'm talking about going into your camera ..pressing on the lil photo thing in top left and reviewing them..I don't see an option to delete from there..
Really?!?
You should try both of those photos again but with the flash on. I bet the 3D performs better there. It seemed a lot of pics of mine got discarded because of the ULTRA flash/not-quite-fast-enough shutter speed killing em.
Have you tried macro photography with the EVO? In short, it aint happenin. I started a thread with this pic I was so impressed with the macro pic I shot with the 3vo.

Oh yeah, I've tried on many, many occasions and failed. The E3D has better focusing by far; it definitely wins on that front.

I think the pictures look good..just not inside in low low light
Dude the 3d takes great shots u just didn't take the shot right nice way to get folks to think the phones camera sucks it doesn't.
So why not contribute constructively and tell him how you think he should take pics 'right'?

Take a picture in the dark with each where flash has to come into play and you will see all you need to know..lol... I am starting to realize that the 2mp 3D shots look better than the 2D stills on both the 3D and 4G...lol....
No issues for me cam takes excellent 3d shots and vids. 2D takes better shots then the EVO to me I compared them on the computer Great pics.

Check the OP, I added a few more comparisons as I wandered around outside, since everyone told me to take some photos in the dark with the flash. I could take photos all night, and every single time the E3D will be dismal compared to the original Evo. The E3D's "flash" isn't nearly as bright. I will admit the E3D has better focusing though.
Yes...its amazing to me given they market the device around the CAMERA.
You know you can click your picture then click effects then 'auto enhance'. Tell me what you think.

Interesting find, it does help a bit. I've updated one of my comparisons to include all three. (Full size, huge file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21884233/evocompare5_full.jpg) But all it's doing is boosting the darks via software, like someone could do in Photoshop. Don't forget I've got the Evo4G down to only 5MP, and it still blows the E3D away.
HTC is dead last to Nokia, SonyEricsson, Samsung, and IPhone in this dept.
I've written them a few times and felt there was a good chance this device's have them step up...not so.
So its either move to one that does or enjoy the 3D for its many other merits.

I know, the funny thing is, I actually liked the Evo4G's camera, despite tons of people hating it. So if this is worse than that, man, it must be really bad.
Also, I have no desire to upset anyone, I'm not trying to start drama. I'm just sharing the comparisons - I bought the E3D just like everyone else, so obviously I'm HOPING it outdoes the E4G, but the results just don't support that wish. :/

The blur is probably because a phone's shape doesn't lend itself to taking a shot AND holding the phone still. Also, the sensor is teensy tiny, and it doesn't have a very fast "shutter speed". So, it's like taking pics with an SLR in dim light with a 1/30 second shutter: it's going to have motion blur w/o a stand. If you want crystal clear shots, use a vise/stand of some kind.
Maybe Canon's or Nikon's next pro-sumer DSLR will make/receive calls, texts, and play Angry Birds.
I use CameraZoomFX which lets me prop the phone and 'tell' the camera to take the picture hands-free. Those shots are always very clear. Handheld shots, not so much.

Oh will be nice to have a call with a 70-200 2.8 in hand
Okay, I'm lost....
Can anyone who still had pics prior to the leaks and NOW have one of the leaks post comparison pics? I mean seriously, as crisp as the photos are on GB, I can't see how there's such a need for enhancement to the razr's photo quality that it warrants a full thread. lol I'm still on a totally stock GB rom (anxiously biting my nails waiting for the update) and I'm ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHED at how crisp and detailed the camera's photos are.
Lol. Calls will be short with that lens on there. It would be funny though, seeing how huge people's arms get from holding a 4 kilo phone all day. They'd look like hermit crabs.
yeah its with ics leaks .204 let me look at my fb pictures maybe i got one with GB
i found one with GB
BTW - I've tried all of the "pro" camera apps available, and Camera FV-5 is easily the best one.
As to pictures on ICS vs GB, at least on .79, there isn't a huge change. It's all in the app you use.
The stock camera app on ICS seems to focus better prior to capture.
A good camera app should be able to take the same quality pic on GB as it would on ICS unless there was a flaw in the camera drivers under GB, which I don't think there was.
The Razr seems to have a decent sensor, but cheap / small optics. Don't get me wrong, it does take pretty good shots, but not like you'd see on a newer device with bigger, higher quality lenses. The sensor is only half of the battle, but people give the megapixel count all of their attention.
Some of the newer cams (like the OneX) have better optics and you can tell the difference right away. Plus a bigger lens helps keep noise down in dark shots.
I've been using my Rezound to take lots of pictures and I like the HTC camera app. So I'm wondering what would be comparable to it to use with an AOSP variant.
One feature I would like to have that HTC doesn't is some type of manual focus. Maybe something that will focus in small steps + or - would be nice.
Thanks!

Vignette is a good camera app. It's also on sale on the market right now for $.99. Go check it out!
I also use vignette. Still not as good as HTC's camera app, but looks better than the default CM9 one.
Thanks for the replies but I tried vignette when it went on sale and was very disappointed. For normal shooting I guess it's ok but I do a lot of macro shots and it's nearly impossible to focus up close.

Try "Camera ZOOM FX". I got it long ago and they've updated allot. I've had good results with it and like the interface. Was my go-to back on the dinc before the newer sense cameras came out.
I agree w/ you that the sense camera app is solid and my favorite. (particularly sense 3.6/4)

Is there a way to install the sense camera app on AOSP/CM9? I would assume not, since it probably needs a bunch of HTC/sense libraries, but I suppose there's a chance everything non-AOSP that the camera app needs is bundled inside the APK.

Did you try a long press instead of just a tap? Also make sure you choose Macro in Frame-average -> Focus distance. https://www.dropbox.com/s/hr2tth7xbbxmm7q/2012-09-04 14.12.27.JPG (that's a AAA battery so it's pretty small)

I did do the long press but I didn't see a macro setting, I may have to check that out. Also when I was doing the long press does it always take the picture immediately when you let go? That was kinda aggravating since It seems to take vignette a long time to process the picture and you're not sure if you even got it to focus correctly until after it's done. I may give vignette another shot since I did pay for it(even though it was $.99) but I'm doubting it will be up to my standards.

ya, camera zoom FX may help in some of those things... but like others have said, I'm using sense so I have no reason to need anything else.
Edit:
was thinking about this and I remember that Camera zoom FX also had a super fast response. I'm currently on sense 4, which is blazing fast on shutter speed etc, but before that cz FX was easily in the running for speed... just giving more info.
Rock on.
Camera FV-5 is pretty fun to use. You can do long-exposures with it as well. They come out all funky most of the time, but they always look very cool. I can also vouch for Camera Zoom FX.
Sense camera is the thing that's keeping me from aosp right now. I like it too much!

If you're a fan of macro shots, then might I suggest a $6 addition to the phone: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wide-Angle-...395?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4844d51083
Yes, you do need to affix the metal ring on the outside of the phone. But, it produces pretty amazing results:

It's funny how people stress over the smallest differences, and it's amazing how good camera phones have become over the last few years.
I chose the One because I feel it's the most flexible overall due to low-light performance and the ability to better capture motion, but man, all of these cameras are so good, it's crazy to think what we were using just 2 or 3 years ago.
Hmm, i actually found it to be opposite for me - my htc one seems to do very poorly with motion and focuses very slowly. Surprisingly because every literature mentions its good low light performance and fast focus. If you guys can answer a few questions for me, it would allow me to determine if my hardware is defective and i need to exchange for another copy:
1. if you try to focus on a moving object (say a child or a pet), can you consistently get non blurry picture? i find it very hard/slow for the htc one's camera to get focus, so it makes a clear pic of a moving object very hard
2. can you take a picture and have the entire picture be in focus? for me, the lens will only focus on one part of a screen, while other parts will consistently be blurry. by default that's in the center of the picture. it almost seems like you can't do an infinity focus, something needed/preferred for landscape and group pictures. I like the brokah look, just not ALL the time..
Thanks in advance!
1st- I had my kids spinning on a tired swing, not super fast but they were swinging in a circle and spinning and I was able to get consistent focused pictures.
2nd- Yes my camera focus is fine. the HDR mode does tend to wash out in bright light and makes it look a little out of focus.
Note
I also took a series of photos as fast as my finger could click while my daughter was on the tire swing and they all came out in focus, maybe one or two out of focus but I would have to go through them and check more closely.
Hmmm, i'm both happy and sad to hear that your camera seems to work much better. Okay back to AT&T store then!
Thanks!

Digital zoom is bad. I suggest NEVER using it. Crop the picture later if need be.
I guess this would be a decent thread to ask, since we're talking about the camera.
Is the camera software OTA update already included with the AT&T One's latest software, or are we already behind in terms of updates? Also, if our phone doesn't yet have the updated camera software, could we just flash an international stock ROM and get it? International ROMs work with our One this time around, as far as I know.
I believe the update software version is 1.29...mine says 1.26...

You're right. The 1.29 firmware is included in some recent custom roms, though. I have a couple of roms based around that update.

The latest OTA from AT&T has the same radio as the 1.29 update. Still 1.26 firmware though.
When I take macro shots of documents, the letters are blurry and bad in quality. Taking macro shots of food and flowers comes out okay, but it's just awful when taking photos of black and white paper.

I tried that, and it just boosts the contrast producing lots of noise, and there are still blurry letters. I think there's something seriously wrong with the camera.
Sunny out door photo. All grainy on the upper left where the building is with blue sky.
I've seen a lot of cell phone photos but this phone is the best I've seen so far. Take a close look at the attached photo and you will see amazing clarity, true-to-life colors and a long depth of field. It is comparable to a photo I would take with my Canon 40D SLR camera.
I'm blown away.
Aside: Some of the detail is lost because XDA compresses the photo a lot. But you get the flavor of the photo from the attachment.
I agree. I loved my note 2 but got this note 3 solely for the camera upgrade. That alone was worth it to me

I've seen a lot of cell phone photos but this phone is the best I've seen so far. Take a close look at the attached photo and you will see amazing clarity, true-to-life colors and a long depth of field. It is comparable to a photo I would take with my Canon 40D SLR camera.
I'm blown away.
Aside: Some of the detail is lost because XDA compresses the photo a lot. But you get the flavor of the photo from the attachment.

Do you have it cranked up to 13 mp or are you using the 9mp option Pic looks good

Excellent picture.
And I'm damn envious you went to the UCLA/Kal game. I had to miss it last weekend. I like how the picture clearly captures fans in the stands and the players on the field during warm ups. It looks like you are sitting in the lower level of Section 1 where the UCLA players exit from the tunnel. Very nice.
Well done with the pic. I hope to use the Note 3 camera the next home game against Colorado.
GO BRUINS!
RIP #36
I was taking low light pictures last night and came to a few conclusions:
1. Pictures came out a bit grainy
2. It was hard to manually adjust the focus point. The camera kept auto-focusing on the candle instead of the people regardless of where I tapped.
3. Viewing angle wasn't as good as the iPhone. [I took a picture with a 4S and Note 3 in the exact same location and had to lean back like crazy to get both people in the shot]
Aside from this, I've totally fallen in love with the Note 3 from my migration from the iPhone 5. I am however concerned about the camera performance and am crossing my fingers to hope that there are settings and things that I need to do to get a better picture quality.
It does however take amazing pictures when there's enough light.

You're exaggerating I take it.
I agree the camera ain't half bad for a phone, but it is in no way comparable to ANY DSLR (& I own 4 of them)
If it really is comparable to your Canon, you need to invest in some better quality lens...

I own a 5DIII & 7D and it's not in the same universe as either of my DSLRs. The Note 3 is the best camera I've ever had ON A PHONE, but that's about as far as it goes. :laugh:

Well, yes, it's an exaggeration. It's not as good as my EF 70-200mm f/2.8L lens. But look at the white balance and color reproduction on that photo. It's pretty true. And it didn't cost $2,000 either. And, that "L" series lens is quite bulky.
Read this article by Trey Ratcliff, my favorite photographer, and I think you'll agree that the days of the SLR are dead.

Those are good points, but that article you posted compares DSLR's to the Sony NEX7 (an excellent 2/3rds camera. I'm actually thinking of buying one) not to a vastly inferior camera phone.
I agree 100% that our new phones take decent snapshots for a phone, but for dim light or fast action shots (or both combined, like my sons nighttime football games under the lights) the DSLR still remains king and will for some time to come.
Just one problem is, the ridiculously large depth of field from these little fixed EF 2,2 lens guaranties you will never be able to blur the BG at all, (unless you PP every image after the game)
I love the fact that the cameras in these phones have come as far as they have. There is NO WAY I am carrying around one of my Canon EOS1D Mark II bodies and a 100--400 F 2,8 L lens but I always have my phone with me,
I hope I'm not taking this thread off on a tangent, but this thread reminded me of an issue I've been having.
I've notice that the Note 3 takes a while to actually process photos. I will take the photo and then the phone will tell me that the photo is processing. The processing can take up to 3-5 seconds which isn't helpful if you're trying to take multiple shots in quick succession.
Does anyone know why this happens? Is there a way around it?

Turn off the anti-shake option.
Thanks!
I took this shot with auto mode through a telescope at the lowell Observatory.

someone said there is a piece of plastic over the lens. Has anyone else been able to take this off? I bite my nails so I can't get to it. I can't tell if there is a piece of plastic there or not!
Those are some sexy photos.
There isn't one. There is on the s4 though but not on n3

Anyone else not satisfied with the camera?
I already took a great shot but most of them just feel soft and not sharp at all!
A lot of noise as well when zooming in.
I'm quite shocked as my OnePlus 3 takes better pictures (GCam).
The selfie cam is the worst. On OP3 I can basically see all of my skins pores, beard hair etc.
On the mate it's just soft(no matter the setting).
I'm on firmware 122 btw.
Would be good to know if that's just my taste or a wrong setting maybe?
Thanks!
In general:
Very satisified with the back camera.
But the selfiecam is kind of 'boring'.
You should provide pics to make your case as the question is so broad and the answers are so many.
Took a few pics today and really impressed with the back camera. The front camera isn't great and beautifies every image and looks soft. Hopefully a software update could fix this. Came from a pixel 2 which I think are the ones to beat at moment for camera phones.
Back camera is really great. In selfie camera there is an option to switch off beauty mode. Try with that option and you will get better selfies than Samsung Galaxy flagships.
I just posted to a similar thread over in news aand discussion.....
I too am disappointed with the M20 pro camera, mostly indoors in not so good (but hardly terrible) light the images are really quite soft
Looking at the exif it always seems to choose a really low shutter speed and as others have said no OIS on the main camera. Like I said disappointing, I am on .238, no idea if there are any camera improvements to come on .266 or 9.1?
Light can change your thoughts
Yes the mate 20p camera tends to take soft and sometimes blurry photos. I blame the lack of OIS.
With a little extra effort you can take awesome photos, but for point and shoot many other phones do that better.
I just moved from op3 to mate 20 pro, principally for the camera and... I'm disappointed, my ops3 photo's with gcam are a lot better! All photos in middle light (and hdr condition) look like they are painted!
I tried to make some side by died) side comparison and one plus 3 photos are better in everything

Me is not possibile, I was keeping one phone in a hand and the other one in the other, setting i don't know maybe.. M but I just opened the camera and chosen hdr..., have you some setting to suggest?
Some photos are good but others no..., color are a little bit more ok and grass looks painted
Now in no more at home, this weekend I'm coming to post some comparisons if needed

Are you using vivid mode? Try turning that to standard
I'm very satisfied with the camera, I think this is all about setting, not the camera or the phone.

I tried that setting but it doesn't look to influence the "painted effect"
This weekend on going to make a more detailed test and on case I'm going to post some photos

Turn off AI maybe. Honestly if you're trying to tell us one of the best rated phone cameras of all time gets bested by one of the most mediocre, you'd better have some valid evidence lol
My only gripe is the AI sometimes gets confused like when it thought this shot was winter and it changed the images completely

That is a totally feasible complaint as I have had this happen as well. Sometimes AI is better off for certain shots for sure
That's why it is handy on the latest 9.1 update to turn on and off without going into settings. You can also of course click the X when it detects what it think it is. I have had no issues with the camera in default mode and actually find it performs better after the last update, especially the transition when going to 3x zoom.
what bugs me is the "hold steady while camera sharpens the image".
Is there a way to avoid this?

Nope, The phone is taking a auto hdr(thats even more extreme than the HDR mode btw) photo,generally it doesnt matter if you move or take another photo while the camera tells you that, i just ignore it.
