How good is the camera?

I am thinking of getting a Defy as a free upgrade to my Hero. Reviews of camera seem mixed but general impression is that it's not brilliant, especially in low light. Interested to hear the views of people here.

You can compare the photos from defy with various other phones, including N8, iPhone4 on gsmarena site. Just click on some of the latest reviews, doesnt matter which phone, and go to the camera section of the review. There is a photo compare tool.

Thanks. That was helpful but I am more interested in the low light performance.

I was pleasantly suprised with the quality of the flash. up to a metre or 2 it is very effective and doesn't wash out the photo like some others. All in all I am pleases with the camera - thats just my opinion though.

Thanks. I am almost certainly going to get one. The nagging doubt in the back of my mind is the speaker issue. Difficult to know how much of a problem it really is. People who don't have the issue (obviously) don't post to forums

None of those Cell Cameras are that cool in low light compared to a DSLR. What would really help is a camera app that writes out a dng file so that one can properly posprocess this in say Lightroom/Photoshop/Noiseware.
Just for completeness shake, the camera module seems to be a MT9PT012 ...

IMHO - flash and camera is pretty awful. Here's a shot with flash, I even gave it +20 brightness in Gimp:

Ironically - That was shot with my HTC Desire
I guess the Defy's camera is just below cell-phone average. It should't be your only camera, but for "Hey this looks fun!" shots it'll do fine.

I really like my defy but, honestly, the camera is not the best part.
Also the display looks not so brilliant as the desire's one.
I'm not saying they're bad, just they're not wonderful, but considering defy's price it's absolutely fair.

Well, one thing none of the others can do is H2Oing it. I just filmed in water, definitely better results than any other phone attempting the same

I'm using the Camera360 app. There is a filter called "Effect enhancement". If i you this one, the pictures look better - the ones taken in short range. Ok, they do look a bit "artifical", but for me its ok. There is a "free" version of that app for trying out...
The Defy is not the first Android i bought, but it will be the first Android, which will not be sold again. I really like this phone...
Maybe there will be some kind of camera-optimization. Until then, i will take my digi-cam for "more important" pictures to make.
Best regards
Stefan

Here is sample picture, resized, with flash and taken with camera360 app.

This was taken with a Galaxy S
This was taken with the Defy, different day so not a direct comparison. The weather was worse and it was cloudy. Hope this give you an idea of comparison though.

Photos aren't that great but they're not awful. I do find that the built in editing (kodak perfect touch) does an excellent job though. The macro mode and color reproduction aren't as good as my vibrant. But overall im satisfied.

yeah I agree that kodak perfect touch enhancement works well

What about Videos in 720p ?
Anyone succeed to take videos in 720p with Froyo 2.2 ?

have you tryed the kodak perfect touch option?? It's excelent! for night pics, and remember to use the "night" mode in dark places
imo, It's good++

I took pictures with it for the first time today. I did not like the quality of the pictures. My first impressions:
Pros: The LED flash is bright and puts my old BB Curve to shame. You could use it to blind a night time attacker if you could instantly turn it on with an external button.
The interface to take pictures is pretty good and easy to use.
Cons:
-Colors are muddy and off color even when shot outdoors.
-Colors with the flash are not automatically corrected and show up with the blue/white color cast of the LED flash.
-Color space compression is very noticable with banding visible under various conditions.
-Slow to take a picture because it does not focus until you click the onscreen button to take the photo.
I thought video was better on balance than the camera but it is rather poor in low light (as expected). I hope that I will learn to get better results with it after more testing but I'm glad it's not a primary reason for me to own the Defy.

What about 720p videos?
Could someone try it?with froyo??

I found the camera pretty good in comparaison of my old phone.
But there's a hudge miss on the native camera app: you cannot change the JPG compression and by default it's very very compressed! Some have their 5Mpxl pictures that takes around 300kB (it should be 1.5MB at least!).
Maybe if someone know a way to change this settings it would be nice for improving the quality of the final picture

I really like the Vignette app for the camera, it's old school styles go rather well with the "performance" of the camear

POST Your Photos Here! Galaxy S3 i747m

*****UPDATE: January 12th, 2013
I have re-uploaded a few sample photos from last July/August of 2012 taken under STOCK Ice Cream Sandwich on Samsung Galaxy S3 i747m
I could not find many of the original photos on my phone SD card since my old SD card was corrupted. Also because of this, the re-uploaded photos are not in the original size, so preview size only.
================================
Cropped and slight color/saturation change on the phone, and because of that, the EXIF for all my sample images were stripped...
No tripod was used, but I tried to be as steady as my noodle arms allowed me to... (*Note: Anti-Shake is Turned ON)

UPDATED:
These are unedited photos, straight from the phone from walking in park today:
NIGHT Sample and Lower Light Samples (LED FLASH is turned OFF, and auto exposure):
ISO1600
ISO500
ISO80
-----------------------------------------------
COMMENTARY:
The camera is not too shabby, definitely an improvement if you are upgrading from a Samsung Galaxy S1, but not too much from a S2..
Large aperture does show a little bit of DOF due to tiny sensor, but not a lot, unless you do software edits. DOF will be better if taking macro shots with macro mode..
Performance in the dark is not too bad, but still suffers from A LOT of noise at iso1600. Using this thing at night time is probably not recommended especially out in the open where the LED flash is useless. Using during sunset and early evening, the GS3 i747m performs fine.
For some reason, all the sky during the daytime seems to be overexposed... (UPDATE: All BLUE colors are not very saturated and bright blue colored sources tends to be over exposed...) I suppose this is software.. Software editing or future update or custom ROM can probably fix this..
Auto focusing is not the fastest in the world, but gets the job done (well only in nicely lit areas lol)
Clarity of the optics seems alright, but not the sharpest I've seen on mobile devices...
The viewfinder On-Screen seems to be the best ones on mobile phones right now... The speed and smoothness of the camera panning is shown on the screen. There is VERY LITTLE SCREEN to SENSOR lag on this device.... This is a key to make the Galaxy S3 i747m's camera a winner... Hopefully more mobile manufacturers can incorporate this...
Update:
Nightshots without LED flash, autofocus is broken, and the focus is completely messed up.. Touch to focus, it is hard to get the green box on the focus.. If you do get the green box, the focus is broken... I tried to touch to focus at night, it says green and focused, but the viewfinder is a blur...
Shots from low light is nothing to write home about.. At iso1600, the pictures are very grainy, and without the correct autofocus, the shots are almost unusable on a standard computer monitor or even 4x5" prints..
Indoors with a single 40W light source seems to perform better. At iso500, the door picture seems to retain most of the details, with a bit of grain..
In the second indoor shot, there is a single table lamp in a dark study room... The auto iso at iso 80, most of the 2B pencil marks are visible at full resolution (click on thumbnail), and even the objects in the shadow or with darker colors, the noise remains at minimum.. At about this light for indoors, the camera performs pretty decent.

I like the ocean clouds... There are soo many variations..
Is your photo edited in any way for color or contrast?
If not, then the colors and the contrast from the dark and the ocean looks great... I wonder if it has to do with the stock ROM...

S3's camera will do good in daylight or in bright areas. However during low light situations its very sensitive to camera shake. I wish my hands are as steady as a tripod.

Yes it was stock. The thing with the camera is the fast shutter. It was easier to hold the phone in landscape to get the picture. I took a couple but that one came out perfect.

4K in the park, thx Baljeet Rana
Danny Winger made a 7a walkthrough and posted a 4k video

Analyzing the shots posted so far, the Oppo Find 7a's IMX214 sensor captures impressive amount of details, high per pixel sharpness with nice all around clarity thx to the consistently sharp lens and low amount of post-processing. HDR is working well too, no inconsistencies. I guess saturation could be a slightly bit higher. Video clarity is quite nice too, 4k offers all the details we can ask for.

GSM Arena review is in - fine image quality!
You can read GSMA's review here with full size images & EXIF: http://www.gsmarena.com/oppo_find_7a-review-1073p8.php
The camera produces sharp, highly detailed, images with good dynamic range and fine color reproduction, at a few shots sky blue is maybe a tad on the purple side, nothing too much.
HDR is quite aggressive, bringing a lot of clipped dark and bright details alive. It appears there's a little saturation boost too
The phone can capture up to 32 second frames meaning you can do highly detailed low ISO shots as well as artistic DSLR-like ones during the night, this one's my favorite so far:

Loving the rear camera. Only complaint is the subpar slow motion '720p' video. Really looks like maybe 480p upscaled, not impressive.
Taking some great shots, quick focus and shutter. Great night auto night shots compared to my S4 and panorama stitches nicely for me in the one or two I've tried.
Front camera leaves something to be desired for me though. I understand there's the beautify filter that's enabled by default, but I notice a pretty bad foggy haze from there as well. Might just be the indoor lighting conditions I've tried with, but not impressed yet.

Here is a quick macro shot as I walked by.

Low light

At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the ZTE Axon 7's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Low-light is horrible picture

Disappointed here, but I knew this was an issue going in. Not as bad as some phones I've had though, but should be better.

I wonder what the chances are that this can be fixed with software updates... as everyone says, the low-light pics are the only real camera problem

question are you doing full auto or using manual mode to capture this low light pics ? Have you tried other apps to see if it makes it any better low light pics ?

After some testing, i found that the lens is capable for decent low light shots if you use the manual mode...unfortunately seems that the auto mode has some problems..also i found that is better to take shots in 12mp mode instead of 20mp (even if you resize the 20mp to 12mp)...i attach some 100% crops from 12mp photos..the pillow shot is really low light and the moon shot is with zoom. Of course with minimum Photoshop work the photos can be really good for smartphone.

They should had stick with a smaller MP.
The reason low light sucks because the sensor size is too small for 20 MP.
There's a reason all Nexus 6P/5X and Samsung went to smaller MP to achieve better low light camera.
The opposite is true for iPhone. 6s takes worse low light picture than 6 because they went to higher MP without increasing sensor size.

Lowlight pic I snapped. Tried to expose for general scene which ended up blowing out the highlights on the sign (unrecoverable jpg). If you shoot with a steady hand and drop the shutter speed in favor of a lower iso it doesn't end up too mushy.

My first lowlights pic with this phone. ISO 100 3.5 sec. Super soft corners, I didn't expect it to be sharp but boy this lens module is soft.

I've also found low-light is a lot better with manual mode, but sometimes we don't always have time to adjust. This brings hope for better software updates, however even when you go manual there's a decent amount of noise. Not sure the way around that but you do get brighter pictures.

What about using a different camera app?

The low light performance seems better to me than I was expecting from the reviews. I got mine yesterday and it had an update waiting as soon as I turned it on. Perhaps the newer build has better camera software? Let's face it, low light performance is mainly software these days. Probably with expensive licensing attached.
My build is A2017GV1.0.0B08.

Exactly the same phone and same version.
As I have seen, ZTE has improved a lot the camera on this device, because from all the reviews I saw that were made last year, I was just disappointed and wondering if I should get this one or not. It seems ZTE is focusing a lot in camera performance and it's improving everything with the updates, and I'm pretty much happy with how their acting with the Axon 7.

Nougat was delayed until February, because of the new Chinese year, but it seems we will have an update this week.
Regarding the pictures, you can find them in the other threads where I have posted some, because this is only for low light. I tried to put as many pictures as I can because no one does, and the camera was also important for me. I was between this one and the Mate 9, and even when probably Mate 9 has a better camera, I have seen that is just slightly better but it lacks of some other important things to me like sound and display quality.
As for the camera, I don't think you need to worry at all as long as you are looking for a decent and nice camera. If you want absolutely the best one, then go with another phone because this is slightly below, but manual mode is really useful and can get really nice and sharp pictures as well.
For the price and the specs, I highly doubt you would get anything better.

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Sony Xperia XZ Premium come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).

Bar Beach; Newcastle, NSW Australia. The XZP takes a darned nice photo.

the frustrating thing is, the hardware is capable of so much more, its really just the post processing that lets it down, a finer degree of control would be more useful or even allow RAW so we can do the editing later.
low light shots are a different matter, that's probably an optical limitation more then anything else. a CMOS / CCD is only ever as good as the optics the light passes through.

I'm very disappointed with the low detail of the camera.

I came from an Xperia Z2 which had a phenomenal camera I was really impressed with it. The fact I could flash cyberian camera mod just made it even better. That gave me the ISO sensitivity equivalent to our XZP. The mod allowd for the Z3 to support 25600 ISO which I believe is higher than out XZP.
Just check out some of the photos I took on my Z2 here on my G+ page: https://plus.google.com/116272109758114321506
Completely satisfied with just that and I know the XZP will snap photos better. Lets just face it though, the XZP and ever other phone are just phones so youll never get anything like a DSLR but maybe something close. I think alot of people need to appreciate what phones are capeable of now. Especially those at dxomark. They also need to realise that they are just phones once only able to call.

Furthermore proof that dxomark was paid by Apple and Samsung, giving it an 83 and then you look at this? I would think that was taken on an expensive DSLR!

Amazing mate, the colors the blur the contrast, thumbs up!

Oreo update helps immensely in low light, my xzp seems to be using 2000iso now instead of cranking it to 3200 or 6400. More grain but less smearing. Burst looks to do a good job as well, although you cant use it in low light for shutter speed reasons.
Pictures arent perfect or anywhere near note 8 level, but they are more than useable now in low light.

As an ex owner of Nokia 1020 I am quite happy with the new SONY IMX400 sensor performance as I am with my older IMX300 sensor in Xperia Z5. The later still does superb pics in daytime with 23MP manual mode.
