New to this forum but love the phone hate the quality of the pics.
I understand its set for 4mg pics but can be taken up to 8m.
Has anyone had luck with apps or fixes to give you over all better quality?
Thank you
Isn't the 4MP limitation due to the hardware?

It sure is! Have seen some mods to get it back to 8 but looking for more of a simple fix.
Then to that add a major marketing campaign that 4m is going to create a better pic...equals terrible pictures, focus and blur..
You must have a faulty device then. Because my quality is excellent. Picture was taken in auto mode.

I've been very happy with my picture quality. Sometimes it's like higher resolution for more zoom, but everyone I know has been impressed with how my pictures look.

Can we get this ported to the 3d and if we do, will it make the pictures comparable?
I've been trying all day. It installs but the 3D can't be turned off and you can't take a photo. Has HDR and Panorama though
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Yes it will make it comparable because camera apps control the quality of the camera.

It's been talked about many times that the reasons our pics aren't as good as they could be is software related . So with my very limited knowledge on the subject I think it would be in the telnet of possibilities.

I have used various telnet implementations over the years, but, "telnet of possibilities" sounds like the best ever.

This would be great if it's even possible. It may help produce better quality photos and obviously it also has the extra options.
but i already added panorama and hdr to the stock htc camera even burst but not sure if that works

I know you can do this by rooting but as of now I do not feel the need to root my phone. Do you know if it's possible to add these options without rooting?

the 4G slide has a much better sensor though
Tried to get this working today by changing permissions and finally got the app to load and show up in the app draw but it kept on force closing.
This must have been asked but i honestly couldn't find the thread and i have been trying for some time. My question is this, would having our phones shoot 2d content with both cameras and lace it together allow for higher quality pictures/video? Like could you shoot in 3d then use an app or maybe even a program on your computer to splice the two images and get a higher res final product?

I've been thinking this for a while.. but the thoughts ive come up with are that we dont know if the cameras have an angle to each other or where we would attach each picture relative to the output by each camera.. and would this change dynamicaly in each photo or something else...
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
We would need an app to display raw output individualy from each camera... I doubt that it can be two side by side 5m pics but at least 3/4 of each camera would be good...
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
The technique that you are referring to is High Dynamic Range photography. Although you can't do it with side-by-side cameras, you can use one of the cameras to take a picture twice and combine them for much better quality pictures. There are a couple of apps available in the market that let you do this. HDR Camera is one (there is a free and paid version) another is Pro HDR camera. I think this will give you what you desire.
Well Im thinking higher resolution. Combine cameras for a higher res pic... Obviosly widescreen...

Yes exactly. If we knew the exact angle specs couldn't you compensate? Cool idea anyway. I think it'd be neat to get to work and it still seems like a software thing to me. But then again this isn't my area of expertise.

Do you use your Galaxy Player 5.0's camera? What app do you use, or you use stock. Post some pics
Just wondering the quality, cuz my quality on is bad-decent. Just wondering if I could make it any better.
I rarely use it but I use the stock app. Quality wise it's good no complaints here's a back yard photo
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
I have the 4.0, not the 5.0.. But I always use the camera on it.
I usually use Pro Capture rather than the stock camera though.
I think the quality is pretty decent actually. Better than I expected it to be.
Kinda wish I had a flash like the 5.0, but whatever. lol
The quality is better than a family members 7-8 MP Kodak digicam, for sure. lol
Here's a recent shot from a hike~ (resized for forum)
2 moon shots from my GP 4.0~
and one from the Kodak digicam~
I think The Galaxy Player wins. lol
:good:
Cool moon pics!
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
Holy cow, how do you get such big pictures of the moon without optical zoom? No optical zoom is the reason my galaxy player (or any other smart device) will ever replace my camera.

I just held my galaxy players cam lens up to one of my telescopes eyepieces. lol
that was a 5 inch- Newtonian scope I think.
This was taken with my 5.0, no edit at all. You just have to know how to use the camera to get good quality pics. I have more pics like this one

I don't ever use the camera. I'm on ICS. Troll

Even when I was on Gingerbread, I never used the camera. It is inadequate and insufficient to get what I want out of a photograph. There is no "real" zoom on the lens and the megapixel count on the device is never going to produce any pictures of print quality.
Thus, for my photography needs, I go to a Nikon D7000 DSLR. In contrast, however, my wife uses Canon's Powershot Series camera, which is a very powerful, much cheaper alternative to a DSLR.

I love the camera on my player but I'm willing to not use it for the small time being because CM10 is coming out with a 3.xx kernel so the Camera will be working in no time.
I'm a bit reluctant to update to one of the ICS roms because I use the camera so often. Sure, it doesn't compare to a dedicated device but it's more than adequate image quality for sharing and/or even printing if you play around enough with the settings. Night shots are obviously pretty bad but can't say I expected much more from a tablet's camera.

Some mushrooms, taken with my 4.0
I forgot to put Macro on, but still came out pretty decent.
Anyone who says this isn't "good enough" for the quick snapping of pics, is :silly: lol
Obviously one wouldn't use these cameras for professional photography, but to say it's "not even good enough to use" is ridiculous.
Just wonder if my Butterfly is having camera faulty or I'm just being too picky?
The picture came out of the camera looks a lot diff then wat I see on the screen b4 the shoot. And most of the time the picture is wash out and has less contrast.

Ate you using the sense camera or the aosp 4.3 one? The sense takes good picks make sure your settings say full size and make sure you took off the camera lens cover if your phone is new (a lot of people miss that lol). The 4.3 camera takes horrible pics but makes great photospheres.

Here do this before you take the pic hold power of plus volume down or will take a screenshot then take the pic and post both in this thread so we can compare, is it in low light?
Sent from my VIPER DNA EDIT: o god just got on my pc and saw how horrendous that looks lol. What i want you to do is hold power and volume down at the same time, to take the screen shot.
Will try and get a subject to shoot and post here.

Looks like we're the same.. Isnt that an issue for a 8mp camera? Its grainy/blurry..
Sent from my SGP311 using xda app-developers app
Hey man, of course it gets grainier in low light environment!
Go outside in the sun and make a photo there. It will not be grainy.
As there is no flash or photo light, this behavior is totally normal. You will have to live with it.
Oops, forgot to tell that i also took a photo outside, which is sunny, and the photo is still not clear(grainy\blurry)..

here are some pictures taken with my nexus 4 (also an 8 mp camera)
Use normal mode instead of superior auto and setup the camera yourself and dont use hdr then see what the quality is like. You might notice that without using those options the camera uses the full 8MP.

Also remember its a tablet.. Not a device designed to take pictures .
The cameras only real useful use is to Skype etc.
If you need a good camera then you will have to buy one.

Honestly, the camera on this thing is nowhere as good as I thought it would be...not a dealbreaker as I don't use a tablet to take pictures almost ever but still expected more.

If you notice that your leg is clear and the rest of the picture is grainy then it indicates that the camera focused on your leg, not the things in the background. Keep things close out of the picture so it can auto focus on what you want in the picture.
