With all my EVO love behind me, I'll just state the facts as below are two pictures taken at slightly different angles the first with the EVO LTE, the second with the iPhone 4S.
The EVO LTE picture:
Replicated the color of the wood table much better.
I took four pics using auto, hdr, and macro before deciding which to use as the best.
I chose the macro picture that was taken.
Higher resolution screen.
No flash.
iPhone 4S picture:
My coworker only took this one pic.
No special settings used (I.e. macro/depth field)
No flash.
Better texture detail of wood grain.
Better texture detail of mouse.
Red tone of table (color distortion)
I think that's all the information I have to offer about these images and how they were taken. I believe the EVO LTE could take as good a pic, but the right settings would need to be used. Opinions? Any questions about how these images were taken ?
I am still impressed w the EVO LTE camera and have taken some stunning and mean pics!

I think this is HTC's best camera phone. Hands down. They aren't really known to have the best. But I think it meets Samsung gsg2 quality and then some in different lighting.
And also I took an outside picture with my friends 4s and with my EVO. No special settings and the Evo kept its resolution better. I think it boils down to location

Oh you are closer in the 4s picture so more detail in the mouse would make sense

And also, this is only one pic up for comparison.

I'm not 100% sure which is which but there is no contest between the two photo's and the photo on the left looks like crap.
The focus looks off on the EVO pic.
I think my EVO LTE takes better looking pictures than the one you've shown here... I just took a handful of photos with both the EVOLTE and the iPhone4s in various modes to upload and compare. Unfortunately my iPhone buddy and I are both at work and only have horrible sprint 3g upload speeds, so it'll be a while...

I agree. The white balance seems different also.
I think I did a lot better with my image. You should let the camera focus in some.
I also did a quick comparison. I tried to get the same angle. I took 4 shots. Other than rotating the iPhone pics via Preview->Export->100% JPEG to fix rotation, these are straight from camera.
Note: The Evo's camera is set to widescreen by default so I had to uncheck that option for 2 of the shots. I've included the widescreen images from the Evo for comparison.
From left to right/top to bottom:
iPhone 4s - Auto
iPhone 4s - HDR
Evo LTE - Auto - Non widescreen
Evo LTE - HDR - Non widescreen
Evo LTE - Auto
Evo LTE - HDR
I've also uploaded the full images to my dropbox (same order as above)

I believe the point is to try and get a fair comparison and not try to make one side win. It does look like the HDR mode on the Evo uses a wider exposure bracket making it look too "fake". Even though the lens on the Evo may have a wider apeture at f2.0 compared to the iPhone 4s' f2.2, it looks like the iPhone is still a tad sharper. I'll still have the iPhone 4s on me as a quick point and shoot.
Here are the EvoLTE vs iPhone 4S comparision shots... I think they both look pretty great for smartphone photos! The EVO HDR shot got a little ghosting, but has a nice level of detail. All of the iphone shots came out slightly brighter (more light)...
HTC Evo 4G LTE HDR vs iPhone 4S HDR
HTC Evo 4G LTE vs iPhone 4S
Fun times comparing these, enjoy!
edit. I should also add that I had turned up sharpness setting on the Evo to +1, i think everything else is default.
I would carry an iPhone 4s to throw on the ground
Both are excellent

Does anyone know how the 3D effect on the Evo will compare to the 3DS?
I was playing around with the 3DS yesterday was very impressed with some of the effects. Particularly the augmented reality cards. It really makes you realize the potential 3D effects and a camera possess.... it's practically a hologram.
Yeah, the ol' lady is pretty "excited" about the potential behind the 3D camera.
What I am concerned about is the 3D quality. From the previews I saw everyone said it was spot on. However, I've heard mixed reviews in regards to the 3DS screen having a limited 'sweet spot' of view. I have not seen a 3DS yet.
Also, I am pretty sure that the 3D aspect, on the Evo, can only be viewed in landscape, and only to the left landscape at that. Dunno if that is controlled on the software end or if that is a limitation due to the screen technology. Either way, I hope it is closer to viewing a glasses-less 3D TV because those are legit.

I went into gamestop today and messed with the 3ds a little bit.. It was actually really good. Yes there is sweet spot's notice how it's plural.. Basically right in front of it or looking from the sides.. But it's hardly noticeable for a bad spot.. I found that overall it's really good and if the EVO 3d is that way, were on a great direction!
i think the quality is much better because the resolution is qhd and the screen self is bigger than the nintendo 3ds screen and the price of the phone is higher so i aspect the overall quality is very good.

Well price and quality aren't necessarily the same thing.
I'm not a big fan of the 3D thing. I tired 3DS in bestbuy. After 5 mins playing, I got dizzy.
Tried out the 3DS for the first time today. Almost unusable and the screen quality was similar to 3D magazine covers I saw 20 years ago - in other words, pathetically bad.
Maybe it was just my eyes, but no matter the angle I held the 3DS at, I couldn't get the 3D effect to remain constant.
I hope that the EVO 3D is FAR FAR FAR FAR more refined than this POS. I would assume so since it is a much better screen, but we'll see. The 3DS was starting to already give me a headache after about 20 seconds.
P.S., Nintendo, what the heck is with the build quality of this device? It looks like someone put it together from used parts circa 1970 in their garage. Utter fail IMHO.

Agreed. Looks horrible.. Did you notice how long it took to up the res on the screens? And its still horrible... I just saw a game on a dsi.. and the graphics were so pix lated it was ridiculous.
I hope they change the evo3d to a slider like the 3ds, that helps with the headaches ppl get change the depth a little and its easier to focus, from what I've seen the evos just gonna be a switch, a slider would be much better

From what i understand the switch on the side of the evo 3d will be for switching the camera from 2d to 3d only, and didn't have anything to do with the screen.(if some where else say other wise please post link, would love to see that)
I hope they have some sort slider (maybe in the setting some where) that does work like the slider on 3ds. I saw the 3ds at best buy and i was impressed, but different strokes for different folks.
How do u guys think the Evo 3D still pictures will compare in quality to the original Evo?

I disagree. The Evo 1's camera is adequate and even better than my 4 year old camera. I take pictures exclusively with it now and they look pretty damn good.
Granted, I'd never spend $1500 on a freaking camera and you might be one of those "photographer" types (i put that in quotes because I don't consider that a real profession, merely a hobby that people get paid for) who believe that an 8mp cell phone camera should look like an 8mp nokia whatever-x5000. It's a cell phone, the camera is more a convenience. Considering 5 years ago, pictures with a cell phone looked like an 8-bit video games, I'd say they're making fantastic and amazing headway on itty bitty tiny mobile cameras.
On that note, since it's a year later and technology has improved, the Evo 3d really should have a better camera than an Evo 4g. Especially since the camera is a key feature in the new hardware.
From what I've seen in review videos (also taking into account that I'm not getting the full experience through a camera), the pictures have a pretty good quality, but I'd have to see them in person to accurately judge them.

Because MP have nothing to do with quality? It's how big it can be printed out, and to be honest you can't print a 3D picture, so yeah.
They did however mention that the cameras have a CMOS sensor (the sensor is what creates quality, MP have nothing to do with it) so I have extremely high hopes for this camera. If it does what I'm expecting it'll be my upgrade path most likely.
HTC usually either has hits or miss on the camera. Well just have to wait and see.

Two 8mp images per 3d picture is probably why. 5mp will take enough space as it is.
That and the thing is... there really is no way currently to have a "great" 8 mp camera on a phone, with a lens/ sensor that small.
Yea the reason for 5mp instead of dual 8mp has to do with image/video file size more than likely.
As for the Evo 1 camera, is have to say its the first phone camera I even considered replacing my real camera with. I have a 12mp ~$200 Sony camera that I never use. 4x6 prints look just as good on both. The Sony handles low light better, but its not worth carrying an extra device

My 2cents on this:
Photography is an art, just like painting, tattoos, piercings, acting (stage and TV) and have all been around for as long as history has been written (except for the acting on TV of course). But to talk about getting paid for a hobby, lets now include sports (ALL Sports) and these are also considered "hobbies" but these people get paid more than doctors, engineers, lawyers, etc. You don't complain about them though.
About the camera, like said before....its a phone, 5MP is awesome AND IT HAS TWO. For daily use, it should/will get the job done. If your a "professional" D) then you would not even consider using the phone for your work. It's called convenience and it's why you pay $700 for a phone that can play movies, pictures, search the web, play low quality game (that can be addictive), TEXT, have a camera and flashlight with you at all times, GPS (all this on a relatively small screen) and I guess make a call.
Don't discriminate!
I'm a massive fan of the EVO and am pre-ordering the 3D immediately. That being said, the EVO 1 pictures aren't as good as the Iphones. In Outdoor, sunny situations they are excellent but indoors they suck compare to the iphone. Also, the flash handling really is garbage, I'm always trying to adjust the white balance to account for it or take my picture slightly further back etc etc. It's just ****ty and then I see my brother iPhone 4 pics using OOTB settings taking the same stupid picture of our family at the table and its way better.
I would really like to see some information stating that the CMOS sensor is 2x as good...it certainly better be!!
Another note, the iPhone 4 video is a WORLD above the EVO in lower light. It embarrassing. I brag about my phone but then can't use the video from a basketball game because its indoors and again...brothers iPhone videos look pretty good.
A side note, can't stand apple and their draconian koolaid they sell all the schmucks on
Camera Quality
I've found that when were dealing with pictures in natural lighting, the results are absolutely AMAZING, but when it comes to low light, darkness and requiring the flash, that is when the coloring was off and blurry etc. i would expect the same from the new camera just as basically every phone cam i've seen.
Was at the sprint store yesterday and they let me play with EVO 3D.
First impressions:
Feels solid, just like the EVO 4G.
Shutter button is awesome and auto focus is very fast.
Pictures and videos taken in 3D did not look 3D and kept changing under different angles.
The Green Hornet in 3D was amazing, it actually looked 3D.
I don't understand why pictures taken with the phone don't look like the preloaded movie, which makes me think that the screen itself is capable of playing 3D content its just that the camera is not a true 3D camera.
Finally i wanted to compare 2D pictures to my EVO and so i emailed one to myself and here it is.
How did the screen look? Some reviews say it looks like poo because of it being 3D. I think that shouldn't be the case.

Because the movie was captured with professional 3D equipment. The Evo 3D is true 3D, all you need are 2 cameras, just like you have 2 eyeballs on your head. The problem with having 2 fixed cameras though, is that they cannot pivot (like your eyeballs) in order to compensate for the distance between the cameras and the subject, so the 3D/depth perception will not always be that good, especially for closeups.

I agree, the pic does look quite nice ... even though I see plenty evidence of compression losses, that's not the camera's fault and can be easily fixed in the settings.
Thanks OP. I was having a hard time believing that HTC couldn't get a 5MP camera to take a decent pic.
Will be interesting to see how Vignette performs on the phone. By far, the superior camera app, because it limits compression.
The two cameras are too close together for the 3D effect to be as visible as what the movies are. Ideally they would be as far apart as both your eyes are but that's not very practical on a cell phone. The picture there looks pretty good to me though, not as good as what my DSLR can do but the lenses alone for that thing are more than that phone costs.
i'm not worried as much about the megapixel part of the camera or even the 3d portion... i just want it to be clear and the color right.
my evo 4g takes clear pictures but the colors are way off.
here's a picture of my bike taken with my EVO:
and here's what it really looks like...taken with a older Nikon point and shoot:
ps: thanks for snagging a picture with the phone though. the color looks better than my evo.... it does look grainy though.
Second picture is just about as good as the Samsung Epic 4G camera.
First picture is random (was going to look up what type of plant it was) and second picture is my friend's dock.
These look very similar to the quality of EVO 3D's camera.
samsung phone camera's do kick ass.. as a matter of fact the second pic of mine could have been taken with my old moment. too bad the rest of the samsung phone isn't as good as the camera.

I honestly do think that HTC is not as good as samsung probably when it comes to writing software. I honestly do believe that software customizations that samsung makes are probably much better than HTC.
Touchwiz is much more buggy than sense imo. Samsung just uses better sensors for their cameras

You know I've seen some 3vo pics that look god awful, and some that look pretty decent... most of the guys give awful reviews (meaning they don't grasp what a review should be) what makes you think they know how to work hardware (tweak settings..etc) to make a picture look good. lol

Yep, you're right. Phil just commented saying he didn't optimize the camera before taking the pictures. Just point and Shoot.

My girl has an iPhone, and when we're out and take pics, I have her use her phone because the evo camera sucks. She's always throwing it in my face. I just want to be able to tell her to shove her iPhone up her ass. Also, why does the thunderbolt seem to have such a good camera (and reviews) but the 3ds is just.....eh?? Corner cutting? Cheaper hardware? Is Sprint trying to save coin?

Quality pictures require a quality camera... that's why I have my Canon 40D, 5D and 1Ds.
I also have cameras. Thats mot related to the fact that HTC uses subquality cameras on these high end devices. As a converged device camera I use the pics in conjunction immediately with other apps. My other cameras can't do that.

There wasn't one of those photos where I thought the 4g did better. Clarity was better on the 3vo across the board. Look at the frogs or the last one with the green/pink leaves. Look at where the pink meets the green.
Truthfully I think the 4g could do better. Out of focus. But then again, so is my evo 4g camera

yeah at 1st glance 4G seems better but if you really look clarity is better (as stated above) on 3vo...Frogs (more detail) flowers (same thing) looks like there needs to be some color correction (in processing??) also I just saw the other link in a prev thread and I think there was something in the settings that may somewhat address this???
IANAPhotog...btw
White balance: Lets you change the white balance
to enable the camera to capture colors more
accurately by adjusting to your current lighting
environment.
Auto focus: Enables or disables centered
autofocus. Autofocus is enabled by default.
ISO (photo mode only): Lets you choose an ISO
level or set it back to Auto. Higher ISO numbers
are better for taking pictures in low light
conditions.
would manipulation of these settings make the pics a bit better?
*tho I understand why the test was done with no adjustments via both cams.
Guys check out the new 'Lightbox Photo' app..it takes pics way faster than Vignette etc and has an immediate "fixit" option which makes great fast color/contrast corrections...nice resulting picture.
That's disappointing the 3VO camera is still that far behind iPhone. They should have invested the R&D into a practical camera instead of the 3D stuff. Will probably still end up getting it because it's the next best thing from EVO.
Right now, I carry my little Canon powershot because it takes way better pictures than my ancient 2mp Mogul.
The Evo 3D will obviously take better pictures but I don't think it's as good as my Canon. My plan is for simple pictures I'll carry just the Evo 3d and if I want really nice pictures, then I'll pull the Canon out.
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...
