3 D will be interesting and all but actual clarity, resolution etc etc will not improve I assume given the 5 megapixels?
Thanks
That's not a safe assumption. MP don't necessarily correlate with picture quality, at least not MP alone. Look at other phones with 5mp cameras that take better pics (iPhone, epic). HTC claimed to have improved the camera despite the lower resolution ...
Tapa tapa tapa
MP has nothing to do with quality. MP is strictly a rating to measure resolution. For the average user MP only matters if you wish to crop out a small portion of your picture. Otherwise anything over 5+ isn't a big deal, in my opinion at least
Considering the phone is being featured as a camera phone I sure hope they improved the quality.

Mp does not really have anything to do with pic Jesse is right by that also it is being marketed as a 3d cam phone soooo idkkk

Its all about the CMOS sensor. Trust me, 5 MP is more than enough. You could easily blow up a well taken 5mp picture to a 5x7 or 8x10. If you need to do an immense amount of cropping...MP might come in handy but thats about it. Plus...a higher MP photo typically takes up a lot more space.
I really want to see them do some interesting things with the camera, like quick shot mode using both cameras or HDR etc.
This is all great to hear. I've come to use my camera a lot with my Evo for various things.
Look forward to the dedicated button too!
Ok, So the stock camera app isn't that great. Can anyone recommend a good camera app specifically for capturing text(or maybe settings)? not worried about OCR, just want the text to come out clear.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
I love the stock app but it's not for everyone. Best app in the market is Camera Zoom fx. Used it on my Captivate after going to CyanogenMod as the vanilla android camera sucks imo. It is a paid app and I'm not sure how much it costs as I got mine from the 10 cent sale in December

it works great on the flyer too. Used it on Gumbys desensified rom too as I didn't care for the aosp camera. One thing though if you want wide screen with zoom fx, 3.2mp is as high as you can go, where the htc app will go all the way to 5

I think the HTC camera app is quite good , but it depends on exactly what you are trying to do, which is not really clear. The HTC apps gives you control of all the settings which you may lose on some apps. Can you describe what the problem is exactly. There are some specialty apps for documents that has post processing that might help
The stock camera is better than alot of camera apps, however when i take a picture of text, some area's tend to be blurry and zooming in makes them worse. The depth of field is bad, but i assume that is mainly a hardware thing? Camera Zoom FX works slightly better, text is more readable and you can zoom in a little without blurring it.

Depth of filed is related to the lens and aperture and has nothing to do with software other than you can adjust some parameters to make it more or less.
Zoom will always make resolution worse because there is no optical zoom and when you"zoom" you are doing it digitally and getting less resolution. 3.2mp can never be as good as 5mp so I assume you are simply holding the camera more steady and the app has little to do with it.
Try this. on the stock app, change the effect to depth of field, set the ISO to 100 if you have enough light or 200 if you need more brightness. Do not zoom.
You will have to hold very steady and straight. Watch the focus, it won't focus is you are too close to the subject.

Ok, that settings do work slightly better, still not the greatest, im just going to write this off to the hardware component.
A few years ago my friend had this phone http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_j105_naite-2818.php
The camera was amazing, only 2MP but took really good pics.
Well I"m still not sure what you are trying to do, but I get consistently fine results with the flyer using the app Scan2PDF for documents. The Flyer does not have a flash, so you have to make sure you have good light without shadows. Otherwise the camera in the flyer is as good or better than most tablets and phones. Like any camera , even $3000 DSLRS, when you do closeups, the depth of field is very short.
Ok, say for instance when im studying, my textbooks are like 1k pages and it takes up space when its open and its an effort to navigate; i take a pic of a page or 2 and it makes it easier to work with. Thing is, it doesn't come out very great. If i take a pic of the whole page, some parts are less readable, almost like it doesn't focus the whole thing. If i take a pic of a paragraph, then it comes out fine. It doesn't seems as clear as it should be for a 5MP camera. Again, i think its just the hardware.
Yeah most of the reviews of the flyer were great but it got knocked on the camera.

I think that CamScanner is one of the best apps for your purpose. It's free, and it automatically does a lot of image post processing to give you the clear text you are looking for, alongside cropping out the background, etc.

the more light you provide the greater the depth of field will be, but you still need to have the subject flat and evenly lighted. Same for any camera, if you cant provide a reasonable subject, the camera cannot defy the laws of physics.
Does the camera mod listed in the developers section work on scotts cleanrom standard
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
Yes, I am currently using the High Quality camera mod and CR4.5 standard. My pics are now 3-5MB in size.
But the camera is an 8 megapixel camera and there are settings for you to set up at other resolutions in the stock app. Can to setup for 8 megapixel in this mod or am I misunderstanding your reply. I am wondering about the overall picture quality noise, etc. In addition to the size factors of course

It doesn't change anything with the actual user-control of the app, it's all background changes. Kinda like changing the build.prop file. It essentially just keeps photos from being compressed, and improves the video recording. I know it does much more than just that, but that's just the gist of it, the camera app itself doesn't change. And the pictures come out a little bit nicer, you won't notice it really until you zoom, and there is better detail.

definitely check it out
I flashed it a couple of weeks ago and my pics are definitely better.
Best mod I've flashed
It definitely helps, but a couple things a lot of people don't know is to uncheck both the auto-enhance and the widescreen boxes.
Both can/will degrade image quality. The auto-enhance can always be added to an image after the fact in the gallery, if the box is not checked (sometimes it helps, other times it makes the pic worse), but it can't be undone if it's checked when the pic is taken.
Hi all,
Is it possible to set the camera to take photos in Wide Mode at 8mp? I only see the option for wide mode at 6mp.
If it is possible please advice how it could be done.
Cheers in advance,
Oliver

Can anyone please advise me, sorry if it's a dumb question but I really want wide mode @ full resolution.

I found some info about this here...
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-audio-video/2208-6mp-8mp.html
It claims...
There is no way to get an 8MP wide screen shot on this phone thought the quality is still pretty excellent in 6MP wide screen mode.

If true then it's a shame
I know this is a little late, but hopefully I can help clarify if you haven't already found the answer somewhere else.
8 Megapixels = 3264×2448
6 Megapixels = 3264×1836
So long story short is that when you take a widescreen picture at 6mp you'll have the same quality of an 8mp shot, the only difference is the actual size and shape of the picture (widescreen will chop off some of the top and bottom of the picture).
You'll still be able to zoom in just as far and see just as much detail as in an 8mp shot. I personally like 6mp widescreen because it fits the screen of my S3 perfectly, but to each his own. Hope I helped anybody wondering

Thanks for the tip mate.
I come from a htc one x and I'm sure that could do 8mp in wide screen.
I had hoped it would be possible to change the software to increase the amount of pixels across the width of the pic using some of the pixels you lose from the hight of wide screen pictures.
But I think this is impossible, it just seems a shame having a 8mp camera and only being able to use 6mp as I also prefer wide screen.
Nevermind, the pictures I take are still good and I'm reasonably happy with the results.
Cheers for the reply

nop,also htc are 6mpx wide
I think 12mpx or 10mpx can do 8mpx wide, but definitely not 8mpx

Is there any way to get pictures to show up full screen after you take them?
sent from my badass galaxy s3 *****
If you set the camera to 6 megapixels and take pictures, they will be full screen (but not as good on a computer). I found it annoying that the 8 megapixel shots have black bars on the side, but I love the camera apart from that. (I hope this answers your question).
Well pictures ratio is usually 4:3 if you go 16:9 you loose quality, usually HTC phones come with 16:9 and that's why a lot people think they don't have the same quality
