Was reading a thread on why ICS. Some mentioned better photos and uncompressed jpg files.
When I first bought the phone, it was recommended to try 3rd party camera apps because they didn't compress the jpg. I gave those a try, and yes photos weren't compressed, but I saw little benefit.
Can someone with experience provide some insight? Are photos really better on ICS or is it similar to photo quality from 3rd party camera apps?
I'm wondering if Sony can defeat compression before the 3rd party camera apps.
Regards,
Mike
Dont know that is it better then 3rd party camera app or not. but in ICS photo quality is better then GB. but in GB u can record video quality better then ICS in ICS Video Lag which is irritating for me...in GB install Camera 360 now u can capture pictures in good quality but for ics i dont know how to record lag free video in HD Resolutions

Does Camera 360 = ICS photo quality?
I think CM 7.2 also has better camera
I think its same for both!

no diffrrent if there is a change its verey low
Hey guys,
I've been messing around with ICS for a while now, and to be quite honest, I haven't noticed a difference in photo quality apart from a slight improvement in macro images.
However, as previously mentioned, HD video is awful! It lags very frequently, but when it is smooth it's the same quality as in GB.
I prefer the GB camera app though, much more to mess around with settings wise, if someone finds a better replacement app then please link me it :')
Just wanted to give my thoughts, that's all

fxcamera and camera 360. i personally prefer fxcamera.
is vignette still a great choise or not? I want a camera app that has some stabilisation functionaly (to try take sharper photos in the dark for example, when it takes a longer time), but I want to make sure it's a good choise before I pay for the app.
Or are there any other recommendations meanwhile?

I'd have to say Camera 360 is nice.
camera 360 wouldn't open on my wildfire (also not compatible through market). Vignette seemed to make worse photos than the standard CM7 app and takes like 20 seconds after each photo until it is finished :s Even on 5MP en superfine quality. So I guess I better keep using the standard app (even though it looks like ****), at least that can film too
i can't find any of these on the market!
i just tried to look for fxcamera and camera 360 but it was a complete fail.
Hey guys, take a look at this camera app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=552445&d=1301144618
well guys finally i made "camera 360" usable with wildfire...its still in its beta stages....little bit of bugs are there....like Geo tagging is not working...and few of its advanced featured had been disabled by me due to the lack of a powerful arm7 processor n gpu ...but auto focus..manual focus and full quality 5.1 mp super fine images have been enabled....its actually better than the stock htc camera...its bit laggy while processing the images...but that wont effect....you can click while its processing the image in background...100% uncompressed image has been enabled...you can take the best quality pics that can is possible by the camera...njoy...
please uninstall mimu camera before installing this...its uses the same lib n frame files...may cause force shutdown if used together
do give feedback....i wanna know the bugs that you are facing....
Hey have you tried this app?
https://market.android.com/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCameraPro&feature=search_result
They say is a better camera app than the stock camera app, I have tried on void#forever but I think I couldnt set it correctly because forced closes..and other issues
So any of you use it? What do u think, is better than the default app..? Why
Thanks!
i use the free version and it works fine, i dont know any other cam apps that allows remap of the search button as shutter so this is what i use, currently using it on void #forever with no major issues, tho i think something may have broken zoom (might be CMSettings), but i think its just digital zoom anyway?
Using camera 360 full version... Love the app and its effects.
any other opinion?
well thanks you. holymolys how have u set the app settings?
I prefer stock app

+1 it's one of the best camera apps
I prefer stock app, too.
vignette is also a very nice choice as well. imo the paid version is well worth the money.
the lgcamera app is the best for recording videos. you can change the sound to acc and you get crispy clear sound on your video. and you can change the format of the video too. for photos i use the stock one
camera 360 is the best ... and its HDR effect is awesome..... it removes the dullness of the stock camera..... just try it....

LGCamera is THE best . Have alots of settings . And work video recording at 20fps , not 18 stock .
The default app included in Void #Forever allows you to change the shutter to a key. I prefer it over the apps here =D

Guys i have some question in Camera 360:
1. Whats the Diff between Manual focus and pre focus?
2. And there are an array of settings, under the icon (P in a camera) like stabilizer,2grid,4grid,dizziness etc
Anyone knows abt it
camera 360 has better performance than stock camera but i don't need all it effects.
Has anyone edited the stock camera app to record videos at high fps.??
like 720p with 30fps will be nice Is it possible .??

I think thats impossible xD
I have the three apps for camera: default from void, LgCamera and 360Camera.
The first is good for photos, but usually they are very "black" and I have to increase exposure.
The second one made me a lot of boots and issues... I cant set it correctly
About 360camera...I dont like thoose effects, I only want normal photos xD. And each time I want to use it..I have to click two or three times on some buttons for set the camera working. On the others, you click on camera app and its done, you can make photos since that moment.

No way !!!!!
even though the processor can encode upto 720x480 @ 30fps but the camera hardware outputs max 640x480 @18fps so 640x480 @18fps is maximum ....
Hey, can any one post a video or Screenshot about the change in Camera app on Neo V?
I have a Neo and I am waiting for ICS. I wanna know if there any improvement on Neo camera or not.
Please kindly someone post some screenshot
Improvement?...Hmmm.
IMO, the ICS camera app is by far inferior to the GB one... Its choppy and less detailed...not to mention it takes forever for the preview image to cache.
So ice camera is better on neo?

Also jpeg compression is reduced,file size is 45-60% bigger than GB shots but more details captured means more quality
Video recording not as good as it was on GB
Screenshots attached
Screenshots from camcorder app
sony have done very good job about white balance! plus I think it takes images way faster than running on GB
So photo quality improved but video quality didn't improve at all?
Is there any tweak for fixing those problem?
Btw, Sony didn't add any Ics feature like timelap, live video effect, photo editor etc?
Has Camera Photo quality improved on the nEo V ICS updated?

Yes..actually
From 500kb size.. It was increased to 1mb-2mb.
Faster when taking picture without flash..
I suspect if we can later USE the camera app, lib and extended cap. from Xperia P(U) to our Neo(Neo V) which have ISO control =]
How can we know that Neo ics camera app is better or worse, if Neo ics final is not released yet?
Aren't we using a modded Neo V ics?
(with "any" Neo camera libraries)

i got pics that size on my neo (stock camera app)
would there be an update in camera quality on the wt19i or the mini pro ?
Was wondering what camera app was the best functioning i.e best picture quality, least amount of lag, panoramic capable etc.
Droid RAZR M cruisin on 4.1.2 based CM10
Iphone4s or 5!
I have a Note II and although I have many cameras installed if I am going to take pictures of kids (the move fast and are very spontaneous) I use the stock camera.
Others I have installed include Camera Fv-5, Vignette, Pro HDR Camera, Cymera, and others that are built in to apps like the one for Instagram.

Camera zoom fx is the best app I've used so far it allowed me set each and every detail like iso exposure etc. etc.

Could any Ultra Z user please post a few photos taken by the stock camera app and the best available 3rd party app? I want to see how big the improvement in image quality could be. Thanks.

Not the best test ever, just took 3 pics at work with A Better Camera, the stock 4.3 camera (at iso 50) and Pro Capture camera.
If you do a 100% the stock camera looks more detailed to me with less artifacts than the ProCapture and A Better Camera looks the worst.
Note that ProCapture and A Better Camera were done using their auto modes. All pics were taken with the phone on the stand to avoid any movement and all used touch focus (on the GE logo).
