The colours are too saturated, the camera wobbles and skips just as much and the mic sounds poor compared.
Surely a software issue?
Have no clue what cnet is trying to do there but the actual quality is much better.
Sound recording is really impressive and the OIS is working well too as one can see in the following videos from xsever.

I want to see a video of him walking around, I'm seeing that weird jelly effect still in those though and he is only sitting or standing still and moving the camera side to side. The colours still look so fake........
Not the smooth video they showed in the press confs.
I will be shooting another video today with White Balance set to Daylight and as I walk.

Even they say the iPhone 5 cam is better.
Maybe some software related issues? Like allways when new phone comes out...

Yeh cnet confirm the camera being overhyped in the review.
Good in low light, not as good in day time.
I really don't trust cnet. I seen the video and it looks like they were favoring the iphone 5. They went to 4 solo shots of the iphone 5 while they only had 2 for the lumia. I'll just have to wait on xserver to test it because his trying his best to provide everyone with a fair review.

Here are direct photo comparisons between different phones and the Lumia 920. The is part of a CNET review for the US version in their US office, which is more favorable of the camera.

Frankly I can't decide whether this camera is good or bad based on these pictures. It wins some, but not by much. It can lose pretty bad though, especially with how unsharp and vague a lot of images look. It's not the winner Nokia was touting. Indoor shots are better in some instances, worse in others. Night shots are "brighter" but not necessarily better. I can edit the photos of a competing phone by turning up the gamma and get close to the same thing that Nokia produces. The smooth video also isn't as great as I once thought. It makes me nauseous, and details are still very lacking even if there isn't any major instances of blur.
The reviews on the phone are contradicting. The verge review shows great pictures, much better than cnet's or slashgears and their unit is not even on final software. The camera performance just doesn't seem consistant.
Well I'll judge myself when I get mine next week.
It seems to me Nokia focused too much on low light photos because the day time photos lack detail.
I added many more videos with different settings here: http://forums.wpcentral.com/showthread.php?t=200158
A Nokia French community member has confirmed on Twitter that there will be an camera update soon.
Actually, I'm very happy with my phone anyway
Post any videos you've made with the phone! i'm currently working on some..i tend to do guitar videos on my youtube.
sadly, i'm not a fan of the G2 video camera.. it seems like it doesn't look as HD as it should to me. i just did a guitar video in my room..yes it's dark out, but i had my ceiling light and another lamp on, but even then everything looked really soft and blurry and nothing focused well..on top of the fact that anything white is completely overblown so you have to drop the exposure down like crazy. all in all, i'd say the GS4 recorded better videos.
especially bc the G2 does that constant focusing crap that the rezound did..where it's like, pulsating for some reason. weird.
post your videos!
here's the videos i did..i'm not happy with them whatsoever. the audio is bad, the constant focusing is terrible.
used audio focus on this..absolutley no difference lol i focused it on the amp, but yeah, i don't see any difference.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVDibA2u-7M&feature=youtu.be
this one sounds worse with more garbling..also, i did this one at 60fps, but youtube won't show it obv
tip for 60fps: the FPS drops really low when in low light situations..so don't expect 60fps in low light! you have to be in ample lighting for it to work correctly!
Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the LG G6 come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I did a few sample videos with the different quality settings and WOAH!!! Especially the videos at 60fps with adequate light from a lamp. When a lot of light it's even smoother when I figured it could not be smoother. Nothing like it. Heck, video of hands looks better than real life and you could see every piece of detail in the skin easily. But I am a photographer so am good with taking photos and have very still hands, so others experience might be a bit different from mine.
Looked great in a well-lit environment as stated above. Had a lot of noise in a darker environment, but not so much as to render it unusable. Someone that does a better job of holding the camera steady and framing the video might have a better result though.
Anyone tried the audio/video quality in loud environments such as discos, festivals , concerts ...?
Very interesting in this feature .
Thanks in advance

Here is a link to a song I recorded at a Ghost/Iron Maiden song. I forgot to put it on concert mode and left it on normal . Here is a link to a video I recorded later in the show as well, still processing so I don't think YouTube will have it in HAD for a while .

Here is the night video, I think I remembered to switch to 4k.
Very poor audio quality

good video
Is it just me or is the video quality really bad? Full HD videos are not sharp/crisp at all and there's a slight painted/blurry look to frames, even in moderately good sunny conditions.
This is more apparent with the wide angle lens but the normal lens has this too. I tried shooting with the GCam app and the normal lens video is worse than the stock app. Video Stabilisation is on. 4k videos are pretty sharp but Full HD is my preferred choice.
Anyone know any settings that could be changed to fix this?
Ok guys, this is my try. First and last part of video is recorded with LG G6, 1080p 60fps on DJI Osmo Mobile. It's not bad at all. Sharpness and crispness is better on 1080p 30fps but I needed slowmo. In manual mode you have much more control but it's OK even in auto mode. What do You think?

Fun Tip - Add motion blur to the parts where you increased the footage speed to sync up with the music. Will literally make it look 2x better.

Thanks for the tip Gagan. This is my first video in Premiere, after only 30min of tutorials. I'll try that in my next video. Cheers.
Reading posts i must ask, am i the only one who thinks that the quality of video taken with lg g6 camera is terrible and unacceptable, 1080p looks like upscale from 480p and is very overprocessed? i wrote about it to lg and they replied that everything is fine, can't believe it! 1080p video from my old lg g3 was great, g6 sucks more then anything that has ever suck before. is there any way to change it and turn current '1080p' on g6 into real 1080p?
Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Xiaomi Mi A1 come out.

Guys, could you please comment on audio quality on videos made with this device. On few video reviews people mentioned that sound is kind of choppy or glitchy. Looks like noise reduction isn't utilized, when Mi A1 shoots video. As workaround they mention that it can be solved by shooting video by a 3rd party app (FV-5).
I'm thinking to buy this device, but this bug is holding me from it.

Yes it is
Take a look here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8qgfwQwRbI
Then see this example too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-ncyEPZIds
For me, video seems way more pixelated than it should be when zooming, even in 4K. 4x zoom should be 1080p and it doesn't look like it is, and I can't see an option to use the zoom lens either. And 4K isn't selected by default.
Considering the lack of EIS and OIS it's not good, but not really bad. Avoid shooting videos in low light - they will be awful and they will have a lot of frames dropped.
Without any kind of EIS or OIS, MiA1 is not ideal for video recording.

I tried using the GCam HDR+ with its EIS and to be honest.. I have to really hold the phone as steady as possible and also in walking slowly, the end result is a bit much better than using the camera app by xiaomi..
the quality overall improved a lot, but for usable footage I guess a dedicated gimbal is needed
Pixelation is algo a problem for me. I think that the video is a little bit dark too.
Even using the Google Camera, it's something better but it's not good for me. At least the EIS helps to stabilize the video but the quality is far from good.

Man, I think the same thing. It's very weird to see the video so pixelated even using Google Camera. Sometimes it really looks like a low resolution video upscaled to a more resolution.

Go to setting>audio and check the disable Automatic Gain Control. Now record will have stereo audio.
any idea about 60fps ??
Hello.
Today i have received my s9+. Very good phone but slo motion is very blurry and not sharp
Outside

In my livingroom i cant see anything

Normal camera works fine
Anyone knows why?

The super slow motion is capped at a max resolution of 720p. It requires alot of processing resources so the imagem quality has to be downgraded in order to record 960 frames in such a short amount of time
Actually it doesn't require a lot of processing resources, just like ARemoji, they just skimped out and gave room for improvement on the Note 9, and or the S10 or whatever they call it.
This is such a lazy reply that i had to stop working, just to reply.... super slow motion as you call it, is just under developed, and wasnt given the time and attention on this phone, much like the lazy front camera which is not even upgraded or new in any meaningful way.

So... Why are you here?
Slow motion is very good. But OP is correct that the quality is very poor. I think this is because the screen resolution is so high that on playback it's just blocky.
What I don't understand is how the videos that are rolling on youtube and the presentation itself was great! The one I shot at home is not acceptable at all.
Anything above 120 Frames per second needs a lot of lighting, and might also flicker with slow lights (like indoor lighting)
It's always best to use sunlight for slow motion like 960 Fps, to get the best shots try filming with lots of sunlight outdoor, the more light the cleaner and better the shots will be.
Well Sunday mothers day in here (UK) will be trying it outdoors and hopefully will be sunny!
I agree. The quality of super slo mo is more like a 240p video! Totally unusable indoors but expected better outdoors in the sun light. The promo videos were fantastic but this is such a disappointment
Just to update everyone, I have tried in very bright sunny conditions and it is fine and acceptable. Yes it could be improved but that's more of a limitation by the technology rather than something Samsung is in control of.
I have done some super slow mo indoor and outdoor....To get good results you need a lot of light. If you don't have additional light when indoors, the quality is average to poor....Outdoor with natural sun light is more then acceptable and high above average. Have tried it on a cloudy day and the quality was just above average
Also samsung probably added noise reduction in Post to the clips used in the ads (to make it look cleaner)
You need perfect lighting situations, it is 720 after all. If the subject you're recording is "close" to the phone it doesn't look AS bad
