quick snapshot
All of these are pre OTA. Honestly I don't get why the camera got such negative reviews. I did use the manual exposure controls to remove 0.5-1 in some of these shots. All in all I liked the way they looked. All images are unedited. It was a very "gray" day outside.
Edit: looks like tapatalk compressed my uploads. All of them are crisp and clear on my device.
One thing I read about the camera in a great review comparing S6 and M9.
Is the Aspect Ratio of the M9 Sensor is NOT 16:9 but the screen IS. Where on the Samsung the Sensor and Screen are BOTH 16:9.
What does that mean?
By default an image that is taken in 16x9 to fill the screen is Cropped !! So you are not getting the full resolution of the sensor.
M9 Aspect Ratio is 10:7
Here is some info on it http://sonictech101.blogspot.com/2015/03/galaxy-s6-vs-one-m9-battle-of-optics.html but I don't think this article talks about the cropping needed to "Fill the screen" Default.
If my math is correct 25% of the resolution (or information collected by the sensor) is "Tossed" by using 16x9 Aspect Ratio.
If you put the Camera in "Regular Mode" 10:7 you'll capture the full sensor. But now your wasting screen resolution by not using all the pixels on the screen to view it.
It was kind of stupid to not use a 16x9 sensor with a native 16x9 screen

No matter what I do I get very poor and grainy/blurry photos.
Which settings do you have for various conditions to get the most out of your camera?

Most important:
1) enough light
2) smudge-free lense
Leaving most settings at automatic while applying these 2 rules, usually get me pretty decent pictures... (... For a smartphone, considering its lense and size)

Get Camera360 app, choose HDR-mode and get the most stunning photos ever ................
Superb colour on this camera and sharpness.
the beer tasted good
Would like to ask why Samsung display is a little worst in resolution in gaming apps.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I mean the display when you are on home screen. The resolution is clear. But when in apps. The color isn't that good and resolution is bad.

I think the display is pretty good

Well you have to acknowledge that the display has a pentile matrix which means that it has two sub pixels instead of 3. That equates to roughly 1045x588 effective resolution for thé screen.
It could also be the fault of the game itself.

Ahh. Thanks for the reply. But the color is slightly different from the iPad hd display. Anyone feels it.

In display settings try turning off auto adjust screen tone. Check if power saving is off. Also try different screen color profiles in display settings. Default is standard, may be a more vivid color option will suit you

A lot of apps are badly ported from iDevices, and unfortunately, graphics seems to be the part that suffers most from this. native Android-apps, as far as I can see, has the sharp look I expect from this display, and compared to an iRetina display, has an almost equal quality.
The screen mode is particularly important, and should be changed if you find the colors on your display to vivid or unrealistic.
I myself tried changing to a more toned down mode, but got a weird B&W-feeling (I've gotten used to the SG3 display), and had to change back.

Anyone notice blurry grainy video. Here is a screen shot. This is full hd.
My HTC one x takes a lot better video. Is there a setting I can change ?

Yesterday I took a video with the front camera. I recorded with the front camera for 7 minutes and it took almost 1GB of size. So, is there an app that can record videos with lower resolution but not too blurry?

Camera JB + Can shoot at 480p and you can choose the bitrate. Im looking for an app for this too.
My camera really seems to be worse than the S3 so I am starting to think I don't have the settings tweaked. Should I be at the 13 Megapixel setting or 9? Also the pictures are good with flash but the ones without them are worse than my S3 in similar lighting by far!
13mp is a 4:3 aspect ratio, while 9mp is 16:9. I personally prefer 4:3 for photos so I use 13mp.

I agree. I have been disappointed in the camera when compared to my S3. The camera feels slower and I have more blurry pics than I did with my S3.

Try the anti-shake setting. That helped

Yeah, the anti-shake setting does seem to help, but taking pictures in a dim environment (inside my house) without the flash is difficult. Also, for indoor pictures, I've noticed that the actual picture taken looks darker than what is seen on the screen at the time of taking the picture.

It doesn't take a really good picture low light. I usually have flash on auto. and also set my phone to dynamic.

So, your phone doesn't show a darker picture in the Gallery than what's actually on the screen when the shutter closes? And my screen is set to Standard...does that matter?

Yeah, auto-flash and anti-shake seems to be the way to go for dim environments.

Thanks for this fellas. I've not had a chance to use mine inside yet and this is great information to have. Although I do mostly take outside pictures I'm sure the time will come.

With it set on dynamic it makes it brighter on the phone overall. Of course the phone isn't going to be able to take really great low-light pictures but it makes your screen brighter with more vibrant colors.
