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

while i agree with you toxic, but thats a bit overboard ... and frankly the photos he shows aren't the best, it isn't bad though so one could assume it'll be decent, or slightly better than what was in the video
.. and I find it funny that tech nerds get so and frustrated at each other over something as stupid as a thread, why bother looking at anything you think is a duplicate

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.

Yeah, I think, short of actually using it, the wirefly review put the camera and video quality. issue to rest. For what its worth, the dudes wife is a professional photographer and commented they were the best on any smartphone she'd seen.

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 think the epic has a better 1

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).

If HTC would improve on a couple things..mainly the cameras in their phones they would be the best in the business by far in my opinion..I would hope they would realize this and not release tje 3d with a mediocre lens

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.
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!

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

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?

Hi I've been sneaking into this forum every so often. I have a s2 and love it but also love technology so looking now at 3d i've looked at evo and lgs version but don't know if it's worth the update to 3d. I also love sense and on some reviews the evo is flawless in speed..
What do you users think?
What score does it get on quadrant
Also if you take a picture or video in 3d can it be converted back to 2d for printing and viewing on pc
Thanks in advance

All pictures can be viewed in 2D as well and it usually asks to convert to 2D when emailing. Not sure about the video, I do not take much video in 3D.
SGS2 scores higher in Quad but that is really nothing to go by.
Evo 3D camera shutter lag is torture and makes any moving object impossible to shoot. I am looking forward to the better camera on the SGS2.
Either way, they are both top of the line devices and you can't go wrong with either.
You also have to think, we are EVO 3D owners and are excited to try something new. It doesn't mean the SGS2 will be better for us, I think at this point we are just hoping it is. We will know for sure come next week though.
i always had good experiences with samsung phones...
until they started making "smart phones"... they aren't very smart about it.
the phone has great hardware, yes. but samsung phones lack the support that HTC has from them to us (the consumers). HTC is ALWAYS right on top of problems that arise, while samsung is a little more like sprint in the customer service department. kind of like "if somebody complains, we'll deal with it. if not, whatever."
I have owned 4 samsung phones. three of them were flawless and perfect. the most recent, however, was a samsung moment. that thing was a nightmare. and i got no help from sprint or samsung with it.
stick with google nexus phones, or HTC. that is my new mode now. and i love the hell out of my 3D by the way. nothing this thing can't handle, and it will only get better as more software is dev'd for it in the hacking community.
**edit... to the OP, it is extremely important that you remember this one thing... the software inside the phone is just as important to the performance as the hardware...
I have both I decided why do I have to choose someday I pop the sim in the evo somedays the galaxy s2, beautiful screen very then and fast, but I gotta admit I have little more fun playing with the evo 3d.

Can you please give more detail.....What makes the 3D more fun? How do the screens compare? Is the Evo's qhd display overshadowed by the Super Amoled Plus screen even though it has a lower res? Does the SGS2's camera have the shutter lag like the 3D?
The UI is just enjoyable on the e3d. And its very fast ..the differences in that regard is neglible..quadrant is useless except for fps and for evaluating your own phone after flashing a rom etc. The shutter lag isn't terrible it just isn't instant and I'm sure it will be improved with an update eventually ..I for one have taken nice shots with the e3d but yes fast moving objects can be hard to capture but most smartphones suffer from that ..either way you would have a super phone and def ahead of the curve ..software has a ways to go to catch up to the hardware within these devices
I actually love the SGS2. I got one in Mid June or July as the EVO 3D wasn't available here in Asia yet. I have no regret in getting the SGS2 first as it's one POWERFUL phone. But I bought the EVO 3D just last week and REALLY ENJOYING the built, solidness, and the 3D features. I love watching 3D Youtube even though it looks like it's damaging my eyes LOL! But if you were to read text alot, the EVO 3D is sharper as it has a higher resolution. Colors aren't comparable to the SGS2 due to the super amoled plus display. So you can't go wrong with either of them. Both has different features, etc. I just can't pass up the idea of not having both of them as it won't be fair to one or the other
i dont like the colors on the amoleds. yeah blacks are great but but the other colors kill me. the whites on my evo3d shine compare to my nexus.

I'm a sense lover, so the EVO 3d fits my needs well. I'm also easily satisfied, and as long as it does what I want it to do, I'm good. I live in big city where 4G is ubiquitous and fast, tho I'm mostly on 3g to save battery. Whenever I need to download large files or watch youtube vids tho, 4G always does me good.
I have yet to mess with my phone, so everything is stock. Sense UI is pretty, but also fast. I do a lot on my phone as I'm mostly away from my computer. From online banking to watching movies, to playing games, to navigating the city, to listening to streaming music, and much more. This phone makes it all happen.
I know if I had the sgs2, I'd be doing the same things on it, and be raving about it as well. But I have this phone, so I make the best of it.
3d is awesome to me. People are always delighted to see it. And it gives the phone a special niche. At first tho, my eyes did hurt after prolong viewing, but I can honestly say after almost 3 months of having the device, my eyes don't hurt anymore. It's like evolution. My eyes have adjusted to it.
The only thing I hate abt he EVO 3d is that while charging, it slows down. I feel the difference. Its like night and day. Other than that, its an awesome Android phone, and as long as you don't have hardware or software related problems with the phone, its a very delightful and enjoyable experience.

I also have both. I got the S2 about 8 weeks ago and love it but I was torn between it and the sensation at the time. So when the Evo 3d was launched here in Canada I broke down last week and pick it up. Both phones are great.
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.
Not really.

I miss it's Menu and Search button. And power button (more on that in a new thread).
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.
I miss it. Went on vacation to south padre n I got a lot of pictures n videos if you know what I mean. Unfortunately, my friend lost my phone after I had told her to hold it for me at a bar because the battery was dead. Miss the 3D part of it.

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.
