I was just reading in another thread about how some are just not happy with the camera quality that this phone has to offer. Well, I'm here to tell you that the camera is not the issue at all.
I was one of those that thought the stock camera was just not cutting it for me, and was a tad upset about it as well. Yesterday I thought I'd give Camera 360 from the app store a shot, as I already used it before with my Gnex, and it produced better looking images. To my surprise, the app completely kicked ass, and now I will never use the stock camera again on this phone for any reason, period!
Not only is it a fantastic app, but it comes loaded with some amazing features, and filters that make taking photos with this phone a pure joy.
Below are a few samples of images I took today while hanging out with my daughter. Take note that edits were done from within the app itself, and are straight out of camera without any processing using Photoshop, or Lightroom.
Hope this helps many of you out that were on the fence about the camera.

This one with camera 360 app from the market
Has anyone contacted HTC yet ? Is there a sofware update coming to fix this ?
This last one is with the thunderbolt
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
Ya, I think quality control for HTC went down the drain for many things on the 3D.... green tint for camera, over sound quality on phone calls, speaker volume low....etc, some of the big ones at least in my opinion. Hello HTC? What happened here? Jumped the gun on releasing the phone instead of waiting a bit longer and get the major bugs out? Ok, thats my rant.
When you take photos with your S2. Do you share them online without any editing?
Personally I've found that all my pictures are lacking in contrast and are gamma saturated. They look too washed out and can be vastly improved with a few quick photoshop filters:
scripts->image processor->run action (recorded an earlier action of auto leveling the image (CTRL + L, auto level, save, close)).
I wish they could look this good on the first take, reckon there's any tweaks that could be made to the camera firmware without slowing it down drastically? perhaps even a separate shooting mode.. I guess that would mean a 3rd party app..

wow thats a big difference!
Ima try this aswell thanks
Lets hope cm9 improves camera
When loading the camera app, the preview for the rear camera is very noisy/grainy/staticy. The front camera is fine, and when you actually take pictures and videos with the rear camera they look fine, it's only the preview that looks funny. Is it like this for everyone or is something up with my phone?
Does this answer your question?

Haha, I guess it does. It's still really strange though, isn't it? Every other phone I've used is much more "what you see is what you get", the actual shots on my S6 look radically different than the preview. I guess it makes sense, especially in low light since the live preview probably has a much quicker exposure time than the actual picture.
Just look at it this way...
If you line up what looks like a good shot on the screen, you know it's going to be even more fantastic when you actually look at it lol.
Since this is basically a question this has been moved to the proper forum.
I am enjoying this camera, even though I don't really now how to harness the power of it's camera..
I work in security and take pictures of license plates in a large parking lot, and experimenting with my new LG V30, I took a simple picture while driving, and could barely read any plates in the picture, even though the lighting was decent.
I am not so worried about perfect color or anything cinematic. I just need to make the camera default the the most crisp and defined setting it can handle.I am in Manual mode, but a little unsur how to proceed. Any advice? Also can I make the camera default to manual mode when opened?
Thanks!

It looks like your focus may be off. May I ask why you prefer manual mode over auto? Here's one I took in auto mode.

Hello everyone,
I got myself this device a week ago and I'm already thinking about returning it.
Don't get me wrong, I know this is not a "camera phone" and I know its price range but look at the attached pictures: it's a screenshot of a 4K video I shot today. I used the stock camera app and my rom comes from the latest OTA update, 9.6.5.0(OEGMIFD). Is that supposed to look like that?

Look at the fur of my dog. It looks like a low bitrate issue but the file itself reports a bitrate of 42669 Kbps! This blocky mess can't be normal. Either my device is broken or this camera really sucks hard. I can almost count pixels.
Should I consider this normal or there's something wrong with my phone? Thanks.
Try using not 4K options, but 1080p. If this doesnt help try Footej Camera
