[Q] Why evo have 2 5mp cameras? - HTC EVO 3D

Specwise the Evo 3D is having 2 5MP cameras on the back. But some websites say that the Evo 3D captures 2D images in 5MP and 3D images in 2MP (correct me if I am wrong).And in 2D mode The Evo 3D uses the upper camera to take photos and videos.So the camera below it can be 2MP instead of 5MP.Then what is the need of the having 2 5MP cameras instead of 1 5MP and the other 2MP.

I'm lost with what you said...but I will try..to many damn numbers...so the pictures will be of equal resolution since you can take 3d pictures at 5 mp.

It is in deed strange, why can't E3D take 5MP 3D pictures. Maybe there will be a firmware update in the future who knows.

I think it has to do with the processing power to "combine" those two separate pics into one 3D image. You think the camera was laggy before, try waiting for the CPU to stitch together 5MP images...

I thought the camera take 2 seperate pictures and use parallax barrier to make one preceived as depth, aslo E3D has more processing power than ordinary point and shoot 3D cameras.

From what i have read the Evo 3d takes 2 x 2mp pictures in 3D mode and links them together to get 4mp.
Regardless of that, the phone takes great pics in 2D and 3D.
Love that dedicated camera button..no more yoga finger stretches to tap on screen while trying to keep steady..

Simplest answer may be the best answer... It was designed as having to take a 2MP 3d image because of how the screen displays natively.
Why 2 5mp cams? Because they are cheap and identical, from the same manufacture and they could only use 1 cam assembly Chinese kid instead of 2 to install 2 different non alike cameras. Allows them to just buy 1 sensor in greater bulk than 2 model sensors. Hence, cheaper to produce.

but the indian GSM evo 3d have the upper 5MP and lower 2MP cam

Think of 3d as blue ray It's twice the SIze of the file. And it seems I get 5 mp in both. I miss the og EVO camera. And panorama. In windows there was a hack in the registry where we bumped up from 3.2 mp, to 8 mp in panoramic. Up too 7 stitches. Problem is we ran out of memory for more than 3 stitches. I miss those options.

There's many Roms that add panorama camera mod. And there's a ROM that claims it boost camera up to 8mp but I havnt tried it myself

[Q] HDR Photo and HDR Video

I don't know if you guys know what is an HDR Picture is, but it is a very nice picture, even the iPhone 4 have it on their phone and they only have 1 camera on the device.
HDR is capable by taking images in diferent exposures and then combine it.
HDR video is capable by using two diferent cameras at the same time using the same as above.
Now that this device, the EVO 3D, is capable of doing 3D imaging and video, it will be nice of doing HDR too.
I have a feeling that it will be capable if you program both cameras take diferent exposures at the same time and then combine the photo/video for an HDR to come out.
What do you guys think?
Anyone knows something about it?
It better be...

I'd be interested in hearing how you could do HDR using both cameras since they're both seeing two different perspectives. The cameras need to see the exact same thing, or it would look terrible. Current real-world examples of capturing HDR video with 2 cameras is done using a beam splitter, which you would not be able to use with the EVO 3D since you can't correctly aim each camera at the beam splitter.
I was kinda hoping you could take 3D images, and then view each 2D image separately... In regards to doing pure 2D photography, I'd love to see HDR as well, and even multiple focal points... imagine a video being recorded with a close focus, and an infinite focus, that you can use software to pan between on-the-fly, (and after-the-fact.) I think that would be awesome.
I would be surprised if the iphone4 can do HDR very well, honestly. I just purchased a Canon S95 and without a tripod it is nearly impossible. You get all sorts of ghosting.

EVO3D has 5MP 2D images or 5 + 5 MP = 10MP 2D images?

If I remember correctly, I thought the EVO 3D's 2D images were supposed to be 10MP because it combined the two 5MP lens into 10MP. If this is true, then why are all the reviewers just saying the EVO 3D takes 5MP 2D images?
where did you read that at?
It doesn't work like that because of the different view angles of the camera. unless they can make a program as amazing as the human brain with our eyes, then they can, but only 1 camera works in 2D. Maybe someone can play God and give us the somewhat 10MP you are thinking of. (doubtful to the point that i can nearly say its impossible)

that was some idiot acting to be an HTC rep... spewing fantasy... 5MP 2D... It uses the top camera.
I still don't get how , if you could activate both cameras for 2D, if you take a 5MP picture you get a 10 MP photo. You would get one super bloated , file wise, 5MP picture.
If you could just take 1 picture and keep adding it to it's self to increase mega pixels I would do that all the time when a customer sends me a crappy photo to enlarge and manipulate. But adding 2 of the same photo does not increase the mega pixles. in this case 5+5=5

I know you're joking but the bottom camera is more in the center of the body which would translate better with framing pictures with the screen. I would have preferred the bottom camera myself.
Epic post is epic.
Haha I was wondering when this post would come.

Dual cameras or single camera?

So am I the only person who would prefer having a single, high quality 8mp (1080p recording) camera as opposed to the dual 3D cameras? I already pre-ordered the EVO 3D, so no matter what I'm excited about it, but personally I could have done without the 3D and instead would prefer a better quality single camera. I might switch over to the EVO 4G+ if it ever comes to Sprint because it seems like exactly what I'm looking for.
Either way, can't wait to get my 3D! I've loved my EVO 4G since I've owned it but I've always hated the crappy Adreno200 GPU
The lens and camera hardware are so small on these phones that 8mp vs 5mp has nothing to do with quality. The iPhone 4's camera is 5MP and takes better pictures than the EVO 4G's 8MP camera. From what I've seen, the EVO 3D is better than the EVO 4G in that department as well.
I HIGHLY doubt Sprint will get that phone. And if I had a choice, I wouldve gotten the 4G+.
the photos from the E3D are on par if not better than the EVO 4G's pictures
I would rather have one camera with a bigger sensor, that being said the 3D takes just as good if not better 2D pics than my Evo 4G before it. And I don't see what's wrong with the reviewers it isn't hard to take a good 3D photo on the phone either.
i wanted a larger 8mp or higher camera also but after using the 5mp with the E3D im happy to have a decent camera on hand when i need it, if i need excellent pictures ill take my Nikon
Yeah I love my Nikon also but I just hate lugging that thing around LOL! Hopefully the E3D camera is decent and more importantly FAST! Like, I want to be able to take a quick snapshot and have the picture come out decently. I don't want to have to buy an LX5 or an S95. My idea of a good camera phone is the iPhone 4, just so you have a point of reference.
How fast/responsive is the E3D camera? Gosh I can't wait, just a few more days!
I personally love the 3D camera. I mean, do you really need to take Cinema quality video with a cellphone, no. I think it will be a pretty fun camera to have and interested to see what else this phone will do once more 3D content is available.
So far I have noticed strange behavior when taking pics... when I hit the shutter in low-light situations, the picture on screen when the shutter sounds fires off is not the same as the one saved... it's a significant delay and subjects have moved, etc. Not sure why the camera 'blinks' or whatever... reminds me of the iPhone.
only problem im seeing is the pictures that we see are saving INVERTED not on all but some pics and i don't know why
To be honest, I really don't care about the camera on the back. I post all my pictures worth saving on Facebook, and that resizes the crap outta them, making even an awesome camera look meh.
As for the people saying they'd rather have the Evo 4G+...
Evo 4G+
Pro: Bigger Camera
Con: Doesn't exist yet.
You don't have that choice, Sorry.

Here is why that happens. In low light situations, the shutter needs to stay open longer to allow more light to hit the sensor and "burn" the pic. So the shutter sounds when the digital "shutter opens", but if it stays open for anything more than 1/60 of a sec (which in low light this camera shoots at about 1/30), there is going to be a significant delay and you will end up with a different shot that you thought you would get. In low light - make sure the subject stays still until the preview pic comes up - or use the flash...

[Q] Camera sizes on EVO 3D

Hi all,
I have installed Elixir 2, i'm not sure which one to use. On clicking on information and then on the device tab, one of my camera's says it has a resolution of 2560x1920 focus length 3.49mm and the other is 3840x1080 focus length 3.49mm, the front camera says 1280x1024 focus length 2.2mm
Can anyone tell me what this means please.
Cheers.

The rear upper camera can take 4.9MP images and the rear lower camera can take 4.1 MP images. Through according to me the cameras are capable of taking maximum of 5MP images but the software is made like that by HTC .
And the front can take images of 1.3MP

Are you saying thats what all EVO 3D's can do or what mine can do? Because they're not all the same in terms of hardware.

All Evo 3Ds that I came across have same camera as yours............and also all the main parts of the 3Ds that we talk about are same for all. Just the SoC is different in CDMA and GSM and also the Wimax/sim card part.
Else every CDMA and Every GSM phone is same (some parts might be region specific)

3d photos

Hello,
have anyone found a way to capture 3d photos? Facebook has rolled out 3d photo capturing for dual camera phones, but I don't think g5 will get that feature.
I use phogy but it's a bit old and outdated.
In order to take 3d photos, we would need two identical cameras. The two cameras of our phone are too different for the view angle and for the sensor size and quality.
The software would need to know how to deform the wide angle photo to make it look like the one taken with the main camera, and I think they still would not match perfectly.

Well, you can still get 2d image + 3d depth mapping from different dual camera. LG g7, v35, V40 (with matching 78° & 107° camera) will support this Facebook 3d format soon
