I've been having a horrible time with the camera, shutter lag, blured shots... but tonight I took a pic with my evo 3d, it was outside at twilight. The pic was really dark. So I took the same pic with my 3 year old iphone 3g. ( no auto focas or flash) and the pic. was remarkably better. just looking through the "viewfinder" on both cams, the evo 3d was very, very dark. This is unexceptable!
Camera settings... Use em...
I mean obviously it ain't right lol

How about this...they both suck. Aren't even up to $99 point and shot quality....by a long shot...
One has idiot proof settings default the other just has ****ty settings...work with your flawed tool. If you need a good camera,try buying a camera...otherwise, work with your flawed tool.
Given that mentality on my evo4g I have taken ssome fantastic shots...amazing at times...and the 3d camera is way better than that.
The evo 4g iirc.had same sensor as the iphone 4... food for thought

Forget point and shoot camera's....just compare to IPhone, Sony erricson etc...
My kids iPhone shots are painful to look at compare to either Evo.
Time to suck it up and hope that devs can shore things up (really unlikely)
Or move on.

Tried settings. Even at ISO 800. Didn't have this problem with my EVO 4G
This isn't anything new, I noticed immediately after I got my E3D.

I even made a thread about it. I understand 3D mode might have resource limits, hence the 5 MP decision, but why not just use 2x 8 MP cameras, and cap them to 5 MP when shooting 3D?

ok guys im a little confused about the evo 3d....is the phone screen in 3d all the time or just the camera takes 3d videos and pictures?
Just when viewing 3D content
No, you can turn 3d on and off at will.

so i can view like the home screen and texting in 3d?
Screen = will always be 3D, cant turn it off
Camera = You can choose to take a 3D picture or 2D with the switch next to the camera button
3d, 2d, 3g, 4g, to be or not to be.
I haven't read that the screen itself can toggle 3d, just the camera.

No, it was clearly stated in most previews that you can turn 3d on and off in software form the home screen.

i dont think me buying the phone full price with no upgrade is worth a 3d camera. i hardly ever use my evo camera now.
Who the hell cares about the 3D? It has a dual-core Snapdragon @ 1.2 GHz and 1GB of RAM. You should be looking at the specs. The Evo is an awesome phone, but it definitely lacks in the graphics department. When you use a ROM with a lot of transparencies (like Myn's Warm Z or RLS5), going through the app drawer, for example, is noticeably laggier than using a stock ROM with no transparencies. This should upgrade should fill the void. I think the 3D part of the phone is a gimmick, but the phone itself isn't.
PS I get that the back of the phone is supposed to make it look like a point and shoot camera (the trim across the top/side + the camera button), but for God's sake, couldn't they have made the camera lense flush with the phone body?

this. exactly.
i find that many are bashing it (the phone) as a "non-upgrade", citing the lack of kickstand (really?, lol), and the lack of ubiquity of 3D in the market (in general) as a useless gimmick.
while completely forgetting the Awesome new CPU+GPU, the new Sense, the better Android OS, more RAM, bigger stock batt, and what I seriously hope is a better camera (as we all know more mps is not better pics, I hope they fixed that compression algorithm at least).
I for one am thrilled to get my hands on one, at the very least.

They could have but then people would be complaining that the phone is too big, size wise, in order to make flush cameras, they would have to push out the whole body of the phone, you see why they did what they did now?
Does anyone know if the 5MP camera on the EVO 3D is a better quality camera than other 5mp cameras. I have a hero and I really hope the 2d on the evo camera is better than my hero. I assume it will be...fingers crossed

Also in the video doesnt show him taking the picture, because is a pain in the a$s in the hero trying to get it to focus.
The Sensation has an Instant capture camera AND I HOPE THAT THE EVO 3D ALSO HAS THIS!
IF not, it will be an HTC Hero dual camera in a and HTC Evo phone...
i didnt notice the insta capture on the e3d but i didnt use the normal camera i was checking out the 3d part which is ok but gave me a headache, but the 3d quality was amazing, well for the picture\, not the 3d effect
I thought tje pictures/video from tje wirefly review looked very nice..def much nicer than any hero could do..the evo 4g camera is a big improvement over the hero since I had both and I believe the e3d camera will be of good quality..one can hope..one cool thing though is the dedicated camera button..that alone will help to take much better pictures as you should be able to hold the phone still while taking a shot
Camera sensor technology has made plenty of improvements since the Hero. Its safe to say the EVO 3d will have a newer sensor that is much more capable than the Hero.

So Ive been with a samsung epic on and off since its launch and have gotten very used to a GREAT camera (for a phone). It takes exceptional stills in all light conditions AND probably the best hd video ive seen on a phone. It seems all the droids and htc phones i see videos of on youtube, even brand new ones, that have literally just come out ,still some how dont compare to samsungs cameras on there devices. Ive been patiently waiting for an evo3d because of all of the specs and awesomeness , and my epic is broken and been around the block being fixed too many times anyways so now i am literally waiting on the evo 3d lol, BUT i feel like even on the evo3d , htc just cant compete with samsungs cameras and im going to miss samsung just for that. I dont know how to explain every time i youtube a sample camera video on every other phone it just seems sub par to the epic and or a few few other samsung phones, esepcially when in motion , wich was flawless on the epic, even in the dark.
People always come back with o well if you want quality video and pics then buy a real camera but i came to rely on the phone as a good cary around camera so theres no reason to have to do otherwise when buying a more advanced phone than the last........anybody got any opinions on the evo3ds camera or expectations ?
Can't really compare to the Evo3d yet, though there are some pics on the Evo3d forums, though they don't bode well for the new Evo.

yeah im not holding my breath for a good low light camera on the e3d. You would think that since one of the main marketing features is its camera. I really hope HTC went with better camera hardware, A bigger CMOS/CCD sensor would greatly help in low light settings. I would also like to see more manual settings, A bulb mode would be nice, or timed exposures. Even if they had to buy hardware from samsung. HTC please give us a good camera for once.
I thought the photos and videos on the wirefly video review looked very nice..granted they werent in low light
I really had no complaints about my Evo after I bought Vignette. Video still sucked, but stills were great. 3d looks better on both fronts... And I am one who is pumped about 3d photos.

I'm.sorry your getting a little far fetched now..I've had an hero..and the evo 4g was a great Improvement in everything including the camera..there is simply no way that the HTC hero will be superior to the 3d ...wait till you get the phone and take your own pictures ..
The EVO uses the 8mp version of the Omnivision sensor used in the iPhone 4. Only reason iPhone's is better low light is because there are less pixels so the pixels left are bigger.
The Epic has an extra processor for the camera, plus the Evo's main issue with video was the bitrate it records at.
I thought the pics and the video looked kinda meh in that wirefly review, but I think my Vibrant's camera capabilities are pretty amazing for a 5mp phonecam ... oh well, can't wait to get rid of the rest of samsuck's phone
I thought the camera looked good, He may have not adjusted the setting on the camera for different lighting which would make it appear worse. I noticed how important these setting are on my fuze which takes horrible pictures (compared to the newer phones but that's to be expected).

Also I don't mean to offend but that looks horrible. My Fuze will take a way better picture than that. The glare is just awful. I'm not trying to get into the picture wars, but I have faith in the DEVs here to make me a happy camper. Maybe android people are a lot more impatient and demanding then older members. There's no such thing as the PHONE OF PHONES (As much as we would like), we have to give and take as well plus there a lot of personal preference involved as well.
Alright, let's be honest. HTC is not famous for its camera but sense 3.0 really stands out. Therefore, I am really cool to say my EVO 4G's camera really sucks even it is equipped with 8MP camera. My old nokia n95 8g with 5MP can take better pictures than evo 4g.
Now with my new phone which is EVO 3D, I am really satisfied with its ability taking good 5MP pictures. It's always focused now compared to evo 4g. However, one day I was at a bar and try to record a video of my friends playing music. My friend was using iphone 4 and I used evo 3d to shoot the video. The quality of evo 3d is not bad but somehow I see the neon sign is overexposed compared to iphone 4. I tried to change the setting but in vain. But iphone 4 doesn't seem to have this problem.
Right now I can only show my videos since I don't have the videos from my friend. Once I got it, I will post it here right away. At the top right corner, you can see overexposed budweiser sign. Iphone 4 managed to get the sign clearly.
Here's the link

Just wondering if anybody really does the comparison of the cameras between EVO 3D and Iphone 4? I would like to see some real "AMATEUR" pictures and videos. I don't need a professional fanboys or fangirls to do a lot of adjustment before taking the pictures and videos in order to bias the review. Thanks
Don't have any pics on hand but a girlfriend of mine has the iPhone 4 & we battle all the time. But sorry to say, while the 3D has improved on the OG 4G its still not as good as the iPhone 4. There was another post on here with people doing a lil comparison. Some of them tended to think that the hardware was just as good, it was HTC's software that ruined the camera. I can't say either way and don't know how they could either, since nobody has ever run the cameras with different software, but out of the box, the iPhone 4 is still tops when it comes to pics/videos.

Just wondering for those who migrated from Evo 3d, are you missing 3d pictures and 3d videos? Looking at some 3d pictures I've taken with friends, girlfriend, and other events (even though may seem gimmicky) I do like looking at them as they seem to give me a more of a realistic image. Also find movies I have in 3d more enjoyable to watch on my phone or in the theaters.

My wife has the 3D now (brand new replacement). It was a good phone and I could have easily suffered with it for another year. It's running MeanROM ICS 1.7
I like the 3D, it was always a conversation piece.
I took video of my friends kids recital and sent them to her and she watched them on her 3D TV.
Camera is good on LTE, but it does not preview white balance correctly. That's a pet pieve of mine (even on a crappy cell phone camera), I HATE Yellow, Green or Blue tinged photos. White balance works but you can't check it until AFTER you take the picture. It also has huge pincushion compare the 3D or EVO 4G camera. Not a huge deal but it sure can be ugly in some situations, it can be fixed in software if you cared about the photo.
dont really missed it. my kids played with it more than i did.

Nope, not missing the 3D camera at all. I hardly ever took 3D pictures, and the quality of the 3D pictures wasn't all that great considering it wasn't the full 5MP of the camera. The EVO 4G LTE takes much better pictures IMO.

OH man that sucks. Sorry to hear that. I bet they looked great in 3d as if you were actually there. Well at least thats how I feel when viewing things I've recorded or pictures I've take in 3d.
Nope not missing it at all. If this phone had it, it probably would have held up getting root, lol. Maybe not, but 3d did hold up development the whole time I had that evo.
Swyped from my eVo
I certainly don't miss my Evo 3d, doesn't even compare to the Evo LTE in my opinion. To me the 3d pictures were awful and did nothing for me but give me a headache. That being said, the 3d movies looked good (ex. Green Lantern) but I never watched them or took 3d video. I personally bought the phone for the dual core proccessor and the screen quality. I found that the phone never lived up to the 1.2 dual core power I was expecting, with 2800 quadrant scores on stock. The LTE is testing out around 5000 on quadrant and the screen is amazing. I felt since the day I bought my Evo 3d that it just wasn't up to par with the standards set by the OG Evo. The LTE blows those standards out of the water and has set the bar extremely high for the Galaxy S3 and others... If you are debating on whether or not to upgrade to the LTE, don't! Hands down the LTE is the best phone out to date.
rmusic thanks for the input. I have no doubt evo LTE overall is a better phone. Just wanted to see if others are missing the 3d for those that use it often. As far as upgrading though I still might hold off due to no LTE in my area as I use my WiMAX a lot to tether my tablet. I actually good WiMAX coverage in a lot of places.

The idea is/was to use the camera to capture your favorite moments in 3d. Imo, this was a great idea but not a lot of people have 3d monitors or TVs yet. This just came out too early. I can totally see this coming back in the future.
