Develop Bugs

Have we gotten any kind of camera test shots yet?

Still looking for some comparison photos of the NG camera. The 5 MP camera is a bit offputting, but for years the iPhone camera was running at less MP and always seemed to have a better sensor and produce better pictures, i'm hoping that's the case right now. The camera and the size are really my two biggest concerns with the device right now.....

Droid life found some pictures from it back in October

Something like that for example?
Test Pictures
They were made with a sample after the release show. Don't know if they are equal to the final product or not.

Engadget and Thisismynext did test shots between GN and the iPhone4S.
Not gonna be a lot of in-depth tests until review units go out.

The post about how megapixels don't mean crap in terms of picture quality needs to be made a sticky on this forum. I'm tired of it coming up. Take a Nikon dedicated camera that taps out at 5MP and compare it to a phone at 8MP and see which looks better.

If you have Google+ account, find Tim Bray and follow him.
He is one of the Android developer.
And he is testing the GN camera right now during his trip, posted in his Google+.
I saw the photos are amazing!

You're right the nonshaky ones look good. I'm not stunned but I would say it's really solid work for a phone camera.

I'm not impressed. The night shot looked sharp for a night photo but the rest... no visible improvement compared to my Galaxy S. So much for sacrificing MP for quality.

+1 I'm actually excited to see what this camera can do. The 5 MP cam on this phone will probably blow the mytouch4g slides 8 MP away. Bottom line, galaxy nexus Is going to be one badass phone. Period.

Not sure what you're seeing. None of those pictures are any better than what my Fascinate takes. They should have went ahead and used the GSII camera. Seems much better than this one.

The best picture you've taken thread.

As the title suggests, post the best pictures you feel you've taken with the One X camera
I've attached a couple, purely as a test. Not the best pictures I've taken - I'm hoping you guys can provide the good stuff
Apologies to those with the xda app if they don't take you to image shack and show just the thumbnail.
EDIT: If possible guys, can we please have a max dimension size of 640x480 or there-abouts in the thread (or thumbnails linking to dropbox/flickr/photobucket). There are some pretty big full sized pictures in the thread and it isn't entirely user friendly for some. I recommend photobucket for easy re-sizing and generating forum [/img] links with ease
Thanks for listening.

yup very good its quiet clear HTC favored scaled down quality over 1:1, they look amazing at this size

Not a good picture, but I am very impressed with the quality considering the murky conditions
EDIT: Ok picture is Massif. Click on the url to see

Just taken one in better light and the quality is much better.
Edit: It won't let me link external sites because i'm a noob!

this should be sticky!! a sticky picture thread is def needed!

Indeed, some reviews have talked a lot **** about the camera not being all that, but every picture I've seen looks cracking...as good as the iPhoney4

It was really sunny today and I snapped some photos when I walked past this florist. The shots look stunning off this thing given ample lighting.

I have to say they're much more impressive when viewed on the phone's screen, the colours really pop.

Switched to HDR. Not bad at all.

Taken a few good ones.

Try them now, I updated them like three times.
How on earth do you get outside links for photos within Dropbox now? (From the browser, not desktop app)

Put them in your public folder, copy public link, and post.

So impressed with the colour and detail. Look at those scales.

loving the camera so far. images are great quality, and the interface seems like a cinch to learn and appreciate. not expecting high-end point and shoot quality (even though its close). The fact that images look great and its fast and easy to use, make for a top notch phone camera! Can't wait to get mine when released for ATT just sitting on my upgrade...

I wish I could get my Nitro to take pictures like the One X, anyone have any good recommendations on good apps, tweaks, etc...?

HDR Camera. Give it a try.

Wow, the colors are really off on the Nitro shots.

i'll be glad when the galaxy s III comes out so we can have a whole new set of baseless comparisons threads.

Yeah I never realized it until I compared them directly with the One X

ok, i'llplay. i want to compare my nitro hd to my canon 5d mark II
on the left is a picture i recently took with my mark II (my mark IIIs are arriving next month!!;-))
on the right is a picture of that picture i just drunk snapped in a dark room , blur and all
godd nite

Yo dawg I heard you like pictures,
So i took a picture then put it on my monitor, then took another picture of the picture.

Also, if your job is taking photos of babes all day, WAY TO GO MAN, LIVING THE DREAM

wow never noticed the colors were that off either. i mean, quality wise, its just about the same but the colors is what drives the eyes to perceive better quality. interesting. its cool thought. i dont take too many pictures, but good to know. i have about a year left with the phone. i can survive

This is a picture taken with the ProCapture camera app while on ICS. Pretty darn good app.

I use ICS Camera(App), it takes pretty good picture.

The one x photos looks crisp , but its the one x that made the pink hat red not the nitro.

I believe a little tweak on the white balance and exposure will give you better pics with correct colors.

Does an app like procapture change anything with the camera/encoding quality? Or does it just give you more options to tweak?

hah! i completely forgot i hit this thread, where'd the op go?

Awesome, thanks I'll try that

Get another S2 or gnex ?

Hello,
my galaxy s2(I9100G variant) was stolen and I'm thinking about getting a gnex for the updates and long developer support(there are other stuff I like about gnex but that's my main reason for getting it) but one thing is holding me back,the camera(also the lack of sd card slot but I can give that away if it's worth it).My phone is usually my main camera,I got a kodak digital camera but I use it in special events only.I mainly take pics with friends for uploading on social networks and stuff like that.So I wanted to know your thoughts on the camera,also would be nice to get some feedbacks from people who switched from S2 to gnex.Thanks in forward

The camera isn't that bad, sure its only 5mp compared to the 8mp on the s2 but its not the end of the world, its acceptable imo.

You wouldn't be able to tell the difference in picture quality if you took pictures outside with good lighting.

I believe there's nothing in my thread that's against the rules.And yes I did search before posting and I couldn't find what I'm looking for.

I personally will choose GNex mainly cuz I want Google experience (pure)
If you can get S2 for a really nice price (REALLY NICE), and you want that slightly better camera (GNex isn't bad either btw, night shot is pretty bad though), nobody is stopping you from getting S2.
Bare in mind that S2 is almost dead in both updates and for developers, since S3 came out.

Yeah its not that bad. Here is one I took while bike riding.

GNex won the TIPA award.

Not sure if this has been posted, but our Galaxy Nexus sits on the same pantheon as the acclaimed Leica M9, Canon 1dx, 5d3 and Nikon d800 cameras.

Strange since everyone complains about the camera.

I don't complain about the camera, bests my old Thunderbolt's 8MP shooter.

not me, im constantly trying to show people that its an awesome camera. people just dont know how to use it. they expect the camera to do all the work for them, but it only does what you tell it to do. plus its really important to keep that back lens cover smudge free.

As per the above poster, I also love the GNex camera. It takes some getting used to but it takes better pictures than pretty much any other camera on a phone I have ever seen.

Very nice pics. I personally don't have an opinion, my eyes are not the best, and I've never had a good eye for capturing photography myself. I just use the camera casually and it works fine for me. What I meant was the general consensus on the camera is that it is poor, that is what the websites and reviews and even users all complain about. It may just be a common misconception, but it's widely the accepted view, accurate or not.

Not better than my SGN. I am still pleased i didnt go for gnex and opted a note last year.

TIPA didn't evaluate image quality only, but the whole pack of good screen, zero-lag shutter, 1080p recording and some other goodies.
TIPA meeting was on 24th March 2012, so it's understandable why they choose Galaxy Nexus.

All I can say about the camera is, its the only camera that can take colour accurate images of my coral reef aquarium. I've tried several cameras and other phones and its way off. Mind you I've learned the best settings for that application is simply changing it to cloudy.
