CM7 Pics vs. Stock Rom Pics - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

So I'm very tempted to make the jump to CM7, but I really like the Camera included with the Stock Rom. In my previous experiences with CM7, I've not been too happy with the camera app. On my Atrix 4G I installed the MIUI 1.7 Camera app and it was better but lacked FFC support and still didn't have the same quality and the stock app. So my question and request is for people to post pictures they have taken with maybe both or one of the Roms. I wanna see the differences. I would appreciate any pics! Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the AOSP screen shots, I'm a little more interested in pictures taken with the camera apps on the 2 different Roms!

Gotcha. I sorry!
On cm7 you can't focus by pressing the screen. It only focuses on the center with the shutter button.
Also image is only wide and fills screen at 2.5 mp.

Meh, Looks like i'm sticking with the stock based Roms for now. Unless the quality of the pictures it takes is close to the same!

It takes 8MP pics along with many other settings. I think it takes great clear pics and I haven't notice a difference in quality between stock camera and CM7 camera quality wise. It may not have all the same functions and the layout is different but other than the touch to focus I think it has all the settings. If you are on stock just MAKE SURE you do a nadroid backup. If you don't like CM7 you can just go back into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, restore nandroid backup of stock rom and you will be EXACTLY where you left off. It is ALOT easier going back to stock or any other roms via nandroid backup that on older captivates or sgs1's.

You are 100% correct about the CM7's camera user interface (UI).
Even before taking pictures or videos with it, just looking at CM7's LCD
anyone can see that CM7's user interface looks like some cheapy camera
and not something which is sopposed to be just about top of the line.
CM7 always had this issue even when I used to have the Captivate phone.
I just do not understand why some of the DEVS cannot replace the
camera's user interface with a much nicer looking one after all this time.
So far I was only commenting on the cosmetic aspects of the CM7's camera.
Now I will tell you about the quality of the actual videos and snapshots
I have done a lot of tests with.
#1: CM7 cannot record videos in 1080p HD
#2: CM7 cannot record at the full 30 fps which is very noticable.
#3: CM7 cannot do continuous auto-focus while recording videos.
Flash CyanogenMOD rom then record some videos of moving cars or people
walking or or running or you can simply put a can of pepsi in front of the
phone about 3 feet from the camera lens on a table or something while
moving the phone left to right, right to left, up and down while focusing in
on the can of pepsi on a table.
Do this for a couple minutes and you will see exactly what I am talking
about. Then do this same test using the STOCK GB rom and you will see
a day and night difference in the two recordings quality.
CM7 only records at approx. 15 to 21fps constantly changing rates making
the recordings look jerky and unprofessional unless you are recording
stationary objects or people who are are just sitting on a chair talking but
with little motion or movement.
One other thing, when taking snapshots with CM7 rom the auto focus takes
about twice as long for it to lock onto anything you are taking pictures of.
These are the main reasons I have not taken the Cyanogen route yet.
I really do like most all other aspects of the CyanogenMOD rom a lot
but until all the camera issues have been fixed I will simply stick with
GTG's "noname" custom rom which after much testing I find to be the
best and the most reliable custom rom which is availble for our phones
at this time.
After all, the camera part in any cell phone is one of it's highest selling
points especially for people like myself who love photograpy.
I hope all this info has helped you and other's too.

Awesome info! It helps tremendously. I've found the Unnamed Rom to be the best so far as well. Looks like ill stick with it.
