So.....I hate the iphone with a passion. But....I noticed the front facing camera on it is super bright and the color is amazing. With the photon, not so much.....anyone using a different camera that has seen better results?

How is the quality of the front facing camera on your Flyer? Mine seems pretty bad. Originally I thought it was the low light during initial tests last night, but I'm still getting vertical banding in the image.
I may have got a lemon.
Mines sucks too. Same problems ur having.

Both of the cameras are pretty bad. I tried to use the zoom and the picture was absolutely horrible.
I had a Xoom for a bit and the Galaxy Tab prior to the Xoom...now the Flyer. I must say, the camera leaves something to be desired. BUT- I didn't plan on using this as a camera so much. The screen is amazing.
As for the vertical banding, I'm getting the same thing on the front facing camera...FYI.
Same issue. Weak camera, vertical banding.
quality of the front-facing camera????
Wish I could help you out. All I know is I am stunned at how great the front camera Is in this compared to the sensation.

Hi there, I am wondering if my amaze's front -facing camera has a problem.
I found out that the quality of the front-facing camera of my device is really bad. I am not sure if its normal or it's my problem.
I compared to other devices (samsung gs2x which has 2mp front facing camera), my AMAZE is so bad. See attachment. the color of the pic taken by AMAZE is so yellow/orange and dark ,however, the pic taken by gs2x is in while (which is the wall color).
Do you guys have to same problem too???? the pic taken by front-facing camera is too yellow/orange and dark???
HELP~~~

I am not an expert on this subject, but to me, it looks like the photo you took with Amaze is showing the truer color than the one taken with gs2x.
What is the type of your light source? Did you adjust your white balance according to the source? My walls are white, but it looks yellow under room light. So I would think your Amaze is capturing the true color.
On the other hand, if the photo I take is white(ish), I would assume that it is because the camera is not getting enough light and trying to overexpose, washing away the true color and coming out looking like a black&white photo. Your photo from gs2x looks like that.
In any case, the front-facing camera is optimized for taking close-up snapshot of people facing it. The target must be lighted with external light source because there is no flash light for the front facing camera, and you should adjust the white balance if you need good results. You should compare photos taken in this condition to see which camera is better.
Other thoughts:
You can download and try different camera apps from Market.
You can wipe the data in 'settings/applications/manage applications/all/camera/clear data'.
Go to a T-Mo store and compare with the store demo machine.
etc.
Sorry my comment became so long. I was just gonna say 'try white-balance', but thought it better to explain why I think this way.
Is it just me, or is this front-facing camera like a Game Boy Color's camera?
Don't get me wrong people, I am on my second DNA and absolutely love it (waiting for Cyanogenmod) but this front camera is some garbage.

I never user font cameras. It might be cause it's adv wide angle camera. It looks really weird

Quality should be pretty good.
I think the quality from the front facing camera is fantastic. I've been using it with my friends on Snapchat a lot, and the improvement on the Galaxy Nexus is awesome.

I'll say this front facing camera isnt all that as well. Hell, the camera itself doesnt look too good either. I pulled out my rezound and took pictures side by side, flash/no flash, and the dna has a lot more noise and grainy over the rezound. Front and rear camera...
Its been like that since the EVO LTE came out the grainy effect . I actually likev the ffc but it is off putting to see that much its new to me but I see your point I think mods will clean that up like with the EVO hopefully

The issue is probably compression and higher ISO, people said the same thing about the One X until camera mods came out to fix the issues.
I'm considering buying the DNA for my girl for christmas. Any of you mind throwing up front camera pictures so I can compare with my One X and GN2?
Garbage? It shoots decent quality 1080p video and 2.1MP stills. It's better than the iPhone 5's front camera in every respect. What did you expect, a full frame dSLR sensor? Images are extremely better than the front camera on my old Thunderbolt.

I would hope the Italics are true.
I have the DNA as well and can say that the front-facing camera (with good lighting) is excellent. Colors seem a tad bit washed, but that is a very MINOR criticism.
However, I would not go as far as to say it is better than the iPhone 5's. I despise Apple and its stranglehold attitude, but the front-facing camera is not superior.
Hi Guys,
Ever since ICS and now JellyBean roms the camera quality has worsened...virtually unusable in poor lighting, night pictures impossible and very bad focusing even in good lighting, no detail in pictures and zooming in is just a blur....cheapest no-name camphones from china shoot better pictures than this
The Amaze camera from Gingerbread roms was the best.
How can I get decent pictures again with my EVO 3D...? this is supposed to be a shooteroo

For night time, you just have to put on the torch before you capture the image.
As far as the rest, it is what it is.
A torch is ok when your subject is 4 feet away but doesnt fix the camera...Gingerbread Amaze camera was far better and even had a night shot modus
Have you tried taking a night shot in the street for example? You only see the few lights and everything else is pitch black...
Yeah. Because of the low light and this cameras weird autofocus parameters, I've always had to use the finger technique.
If only they added the manual switch for us. But nope, they had to be scrubs.
The zoom-in blur is due to the fact that it's not a hardware zoom, it's a software zoom, so it blows up the picture, and then cuts out the edges. The quality would be terrible anyways. But, the camera quality should be OK. Look into Pimp My ROM, I changed my cam quality and it has been pretty noticeable for me, due to ROMs having really bad camera configurations, lol.
I meant zoom in into normal pictures...
For example a picture of several people huddled together, when I enlarge (zoom in) everybody is out of focus
which pimp my rom, is it an app?

Yup, it's an application available for free in the Play Store, it's basically an AIO app for tweaking your phone if you have root access. And are you talking about how, if you take a picture, it looks completely fine zoomed out, but if you try to blow it up (double-tap zoom), it looks low quality? If you are, that's also in the Pimp my ROM app, I personally don't know how to make this better by hand, I do know that PMR has it. But it has to do with it being JPEG, which is highly compressed image type, hence low quality.
Thanks, I was thinking more along the lines of a new camera app than a complete rom pimping app...
If you remember Amaze camera from Gingerbread used to be very good.....
I asked in the Yoda thread if it was possible to install that in ICS but its not---

I've honestly never used the Amaze camera, the camera on my ROM seems to be working completely fine to me, then again I always resize my images for size issues, which tends to fix up the blurs in the process.
So for me, don't get me wrong, during daylight this camera is awesome, but at night time or during some lower light items, this camera doesn't look too hot. For example I went to a theater performance and took some pictures with my Note 3, my date took pictures with her iPhone 5 and her pictures of the stage and actors turned out real well whereas mine with the stock camera app and Camera Zoom FX just looked washed out and not that good. I can't say I had this issue with my S3 either because i was able to take pretty good pictures with that camera. Any ideas on how I can optimize my camera taking skills here? I'm not a noob with the cameras either, it's just frustrating being hit or miss on pictures you know? Help would be greatly appreciated!
I find that the stock camera app leaves a bit to be desired. Especially for low light , action, or macro shots. There are some very nice paid cameras like camera fv-5. I actually also like ucam for a free camera.

Low light situations and no OIS requires a very steady hand..Not much else you can do man it kinda is what it is.
