I just wanted to post up some unedited photos that I have been taking with the T-Mobile HTC Radar 4G. Looks like the Pink tinge is back. Let me know what you guys think.

good pics，which city is it
I think that is Fort Lauderdale.
well ya know microsoft is still looking for better devs for enhancing the camera software. so just wait till they do that especially when the camera already looks great.
The pictures of my bicycle is in Boca Raton and the rest of the photos were taken in Fort Lauderdale. I'll be updating with more pictures soon. I have been playing with the white balance and metering modes on the camera and have gotten the pink tinge to go away. When the white balance is set to auto and the metering mode is on Average and you take a picture that has red, orange, or pink in it the oink tinge shows up. Microsoft or HTC, don't know who, has some work to do on the auto settings.

hi guys. im just curious how the video and pictures on the evo3d look compared to other 5 or 8mp cameras. are they sharp ect. how would the evo3d compare to say the iphone 4?
im in the market for a good camera phone
I personally feel the evo3d only takes great pictures sometimes - meaning it is hard to get good pictures.
The pictures tend to look better on the phone than when you look at them on a computer, where they tend to look more grainy when not in the brightest light. This feels like a step down from HTC's other offerings, which can look as good if not better than iphone pictures when pulled to your computer. I have gotten some fantastic pictures, but for the most part the camera has left me a bit wanting.
Playing around with 3d pictures is quite fun, and video recording is very good - particularly the audio, which was lacking in the evo4g.

It takes a much better picture than the Evo4G did. Much sharper looking, even with 3mp less.
However in low light it still gets grainy...the sensor can't help that, but the software can...but it doesn't. It does, however, take fantastic macro shots for a cell phone...surprisingly.
The 5mp cam on the NS4G I had for a few weeks was phenomenal. When I came back to the E3D it really made taking pictures with it seem pointless...and that's not even taking into consideration the .5-1.5 second shutter lag from when you push the button.
For a freakin' cell phone? It's fantastic. I've never used an iphone4 camera but I've only heard good things. But after seeing what a Samsung 5.0mp sensor/lens/software combo can do I am completely down on the E3D's camera. Granted it does 3D and it is a rather compelling effect...though the problems with the 5.0mp single-cam shots get even more pronounced in 3D at 2.5mp.
YMMV, etc etc etc. It is a cellphone after all.
EDIT: Also any shots with motion are pretty much ruined before you take them.
I agree with nhutpham, post number 2. The camera is not nearly what it should be. This phone revolved around its camera's, I mean come on its not called "Shooter" for nothing. 3D pics turn out good, still shots do anyway. But standard pics, thats a whole other ball game. Low light produces bad pics, even with the flash. Some pics will get a greenish tint to them (whites) when using flash. Rather then use all the "auto" settings I find setting things manually will result in better 2D pics. The device was not purchased by me for the camera though. I bought for the dual core processors Though now that I have my dual core I am wishing HTC would have stepped it up on the 2D camera
i think at stock the pictures look ok. but when you adjust iso,sharpness,exposure,contrast in the settings it makes them look much more vibrant and sharp.
i took a compartive shot of small rocks and the evo3d looked crisper and better overall compared to the iphone 4. so the camera cant be all that bad
Maybe this might help. I'm actually surprised at some of the pictures on here.

Being a photographer myself, I am impressed with the camera... but not all of the time. It takes phenomenal pictures outside in a good sunny day and even in overcast. Take the camera inside in average lighting of just about anyone's living room when the sunlight isn't dominating the light, then I'd be reluctant to show it of.
The poorer the lighting, the harder it is to focus and the photos can get very grainy. HTC also chose to compress the photos quite a bit which affects the picture quality, but makes it easier on the phone and network to share and upload. This goes back to a previous comment that they look better on the phone than on a larger display - its the compression.
If you're willing to root and mod this phone, there is a camera mod in the CDMA dev forum for this phone with camera improvements which makes me that much more impressed with the camera. Although, I think all that was changed was the compression for photos and video.
If you are taking a still picture under good light they look really good. If you have kids and are planning to take any pictures of them forget it.
Let's just they are playing baseball and you want to take a picture of them at bat. They get up there and you click the shoot button. The picture is then shown to you for review and you say wait, who the heck is that. Well while you thought you were snapping a picture of your child, by the time the camera actually took the picture your child got a double, the kid after him grounded to third, and in your picture is the batter who was batting 2 guys after him.....Great picture of someone elses child and of course that kid moved so the picture is blurry as well.
Okay, maybe I am exaggerating a little. You would probably get the batter right after him and not 2 guys down in the lineup, but it would still be blurry unless he batted like a statue....
Green, but otherwise good
Ya unfortunately the shutter lag makes the phone worthless in taking non still images.

Am I the only person who camera takes crappy 2d pictures? A lot of the pictures come out dark or blurry
Is it like all the time or just in low light with the flash? Mine are great provided there is decent lighting, otherwise.... not so much.
Second that, e3d has a good camera, but light is a big issue. take one outside on a sunny day and it should be good, or indoors w a lot of fluorescent lighting, but if there's clouds in the sky, ur kinda sol.
I was out hunting the other day and was trying to take pictures and they all came out terrible on a cloudy day. My buddy has the new galaxyII and his pictures were phenomenal in the same lighting.
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.

Thanks
Can someone please help~

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.
okay so i see people taking AMAZING pictures with this phone, but i just cant seem to take ANY GOOD pictures! they come out fuzzy or just low HQ. are settings are everyone using to get these AMAZING pictures???
Attachment taken with depth of field effect. Sexy. Not messed with much else. I leave it on auto. I did read up on what ISO and white balance means and what the settings can do for a picture. I suggest researching what each setting does.
Edit: After uploading and looking, the picture looks a bit foggy. No lights on in the room and no flash.
Maybe a higher ISO would have been better, but it was on auto for this pic.

some people are claiming bad camera, make sure the lense is clean, if its smudge or dirty then pics will suck. also if it has focus problems try to manualy focus
Here are some of my shots. Camera settings are stock except for -1 saturation, -1 sharpness, white balance sunny, and ISO 400.
I put them on my dropbox so Tapatalk doesn't kill them with compression.

Anyone else notice that the camera (at least the one on my phone) isn't as good as they expected for indoor photos? I haven't taken a lot of photos indoors, but the ones that I have for the most part have not turned out. Out of focus or very grainy. Figured it would be a killer camera (better than the competitor with an Apple for a logo).
Very disappointing, specially that was one of the high points of the HTC EVO LTE phone.
Hopefully they can do something with software upgrades.
Thoughts and suggestions?????
If you leave default settings yes, don't use automatic and expect the picture to turn out perfect...
I am not a photographer, I do know what things to adjust (to a certain degree) and get decent indoor pictures (note that if you have crappy lighting, there's not much you can do to make the picture turn out good). Anyway, there's a thread with people that either are professional photographers or hobby photographers that can help you a lot more than me if you read through it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671858
While I agree that tweaking a camera will help tremendously, I disagree that you should have to do that to get a decent indoor shot. My old EVO took fine pictures indoors, as do most camera phones. Who has time to adjust settings before every photo? "Hold on, don't blow out the candles yet - I need to change my ISO setting real quick."
One of the perks of this phone was the quickness of the camera, both loading the app and the shutter speed. I see little benefit of this when I need to make constant adjustments to get a non-grainy indoor shot. I've been highly disappointed by this as well.
Now outdoor shots... That's a whole 'nuther ballgame! Terrific with no adjustments!

Same deal with regular point and shoot or DSLR cameras. You CAN set it on auto and you WILL get a nice picture (btw my EVO takes decent pictures, even indoor) but it will have some grain to it, again you can't expect any less, especially with bad lighting. For example, if I shoot a picture in my room (my walls are like a dark tan color) I have poor lighting, enough to see decently but if I shoot a picture here, it will have a lot of grain. If I move to my kitchen with white walls and a bright white light, it's almost the same as if I'm taking the picture outside.
Environment matters, lighting matters, settings matter.
I get great indoor photos, even in the dark. Set on auto. My 3D took horrible pics, poor color quality, everything was drab, so I love this camera.
