Gotta say after playing with one first hand...im SUPER dissapointed with the camera. Im an android faithful through and through, but I compared the pictures side by side with an iphone 4s and wow what a difference. you can zoom in so much farther and the pictures are so much clearer on the 4s. I was freaked out by this because they touted the 13MP camera, and it just doesnt deliver. It honestly looks more akin to my galaxy nexus camera quality wise. Just thought I would weigh in on my experience.
this along with the locked bootloader unfortunately might push me away from this phone.

Those look pretty good. Some of the reviews mentioned strange autofocus and I agree. Pics can look very good if you catch it in focus.

One focused on the box, one focused on the puzzle itself. Low light under a chandelier. Not bad at all.

You can do it with friend caster photo editor.And I agree brother,it looks horrible.
FROM A GALAXY BETTER THAN YOURS.
That's what we like to call over-cooked HDR. You can pretty much do the same thing by adding one of those old school filters or a yellow tint filter and pushing up the contrast and saturation. It's pretty much used as a distraction for bad composition
Does anyone know its this is an Android or iPhone app for this framing effect?
Sorry didn't want to start a new thread.

Camera tips?

I'm getting horrible macros on this camera, it might be just that I'm used to the htc amaze's camera. Any tips to get overall better pics I'm on aokp

Have you guys tried UCam.. its a good camera.. I use it a lot.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
I don't think it is the software as much as it is the camera that is the main complaint. My wife has the HTC Sensation and the camera is loads better than the GS II. We both upgraded same time, that first night we were out and took pics with our phones and her shots are by far better than anything I took on my phone and this was out of the box without changing any settings. Her phone excels in night shots where mine looks super pixelated.
Htc cameras are the best around. I find using procapture to be best at macro shots. I think there was a discussion on this awhile ago in the themes and apps section. There was another camera.... But i forgot which.. Oh Wells I stuck to procapture, but night shots still suck.

Pictures Taken With The 13 MP Camera

I decided to take the camera on the phone out for test drive. The reviews are accurate. The camera is adequate. That's about the best i can say for it. Pictures look washed out. I took this one a little while ago at the Barataria Preserve near New Orleans. If you're curious the damn thing scared the hell out of me. Its huge.

I bought the app just now. It's a buck fifty right now, and looks like it might be well worth it at that. I'll take some pics tomorrow, and post them. Thanks for the recommend.

Horrible is kind of strong especially given the pictures taken from my last phone, the EVO 3D, certainly not it's strong point either. The Optimus' pictures really are washed out from what I can see, from the pictures I've taken so far. I'm going to play around with the settings a bit and see if I can improve on what I'm seeing so far.
I've downloaded an app that looks promising, and I'll give it a try and see if that improves anything. It's got an ISO 50 setting that has me curious.

Before the jelly bean update the gs3 camera was so-so. After the update it was a different beast.
I have hope for the optimus g camera.
Here's a pic I took the other day at the track. Like others have said, it's adequate. It's not a bad camera and by far much better than my Evo 3D.

I bet the major flaw of this camera is the software if lg actually took the time to really work with the auto setting I bet it would be great
Had a chance to play with the camera using both the stock app and zoom fx. As washed out as the pictures were yesterday with the stock app this was even worse. The camera is not good in low light. There is really no other way to say it. The low light wasn't even all that low in both cases. Flash was used in all four pictures.
In both cases the better pictures come from zoomfx. In a way that's heartening because it indicates a lot of tweaking potential for the stock app.

Mega pixels don't equal camera quality.

I still enjoy the camera quality better than any other camera I've ever had.
The camera is pretty good. I think where you will find some issues with it will be in low light or very bright situations. The thing is that the camera does not compensate very well for low light, and bright light washes out the pictures some. I like the camera, and it has taken a lot of really good pictures for me, problem is that it has also taken a lot of really crappy pictures for me. The inconsistency is frustrating, but that said, it's better than either my Motorola Cliq (oh yeah!) or my Samsung Epic.
I have learned how to take pics with the camera. I am still not 100% happy with it in the fact that I cannot pull it out and snap a pic. I have to clean the lens, open the camera app then touch to focus and then snap the pic. If I skip the touch to focus then 80% of my pics are blurry. Really sucks but since I have been doing the touch focus step I have been getting way better pics.
The camera is great for a phone. Anybody who says otherwise uses superior equipment or simply doesn't know how to take a good picture. Now the front facing camera, there's no helping that. Makes things look melted/blurred.
Thank you guys for following the topic.

With _Epic's camera mod, the camera is great.
Stock ZVB camera sucks.
With AOSP, it's even worse.
Has anyone found a way to prevent the flash from massively blowing out the resulting photos? It seems way too bright and the software does a terrible job compensating for it. My Evo LTE did an awesome job with flash photos. I'm on stock rooted ZVB with Epic's mod.

same for me. the flash just whites everything out and is complete garbage.
Good question. The flash worked great before the jelly bean update, but now, I'm not so sure what they were thinking.
Sent from my LG-LS970
I have found that the setting on the camera really changes things. Out in Yosemite I was taking pictures and some were really ****ty and others great. The biggest things that made a difference were touch to focus and then changing the mode. For instance last night none of my pics were turning out so I set night mode on, wala, great photos. Then we were taking landscape pics and they were alright, changed it to landscape and it was much better. But changing the white mode or scene or whatever to sun really helped too. Its just amazing how bad the auto settings are cause once you play with it, its a great camera to me.

I personally still think the HTC One is superior to the G2. When comparing One to the S4, well the One hands down since the S4 is locked down right now.
i debated the same thing about a month ago. I am very happy with the ONE. I went with the one mostly because I was afraid about the lack of cases available for the verizon one. The VZW back is different than other G2s. I held both in store and the superior build qualtiy of the one put me over the edge.
development is much better on the G2 at the moment though.
Im happy with my decision.
I have played with a few of the other flagship phones like the S4 and the G2, and hands down the One takes the prize. In my opinion, that is.

Thamks for all the replies. Im glad to see you all have not regretted buying one.
I'm interested in the One because the specs are similar to my current S4. I love the design and aluminium body they used. Was just worried about the camera.
The G2 looks amazing on paper and the super slim bezels look great. But the buttons on the back of the phone have made me think twice about it, as well as its plastic everything.

I had the S4, and the G2, and still prefer the HTC One. Maybe its the look of the UI itself, but I thought the S4 and G2 were almost the same. both very cheap cartoony looking. I was also not a fan of the back buttons at all.
There are so many USEFUL suprises on the HTC One that I have used more in a week, then the unneeded special stuff on the S4 that I had for over 2 months. I am VERY happy that I got the HTC one and sold the S4. And I wasnt even rooted on the One or S4.

I was really iffy about the camera as well since i owned the s4 at the same time. HOWEVER, granted the s4 has a much higher megapixel the One camera has a far more accurate color replicatiion. The only downside to the One cam is cropping and zooming on a photo. If you are okay with a image that comes out in excellent quality when printed at its natural size(close to 8x12 i think) then you will be good to go.

Ive been looking at comparison shots of the One vs the GS4. Checks out. Honestly, for snapping pictures of my cats, the One will do just fine.
Always thought the iPhone was the de-facto standard for camera phones. Well last weekend in Philly I got an unbelievable shot of the monument for African Americans by the liberty bell that my gf couldn't with her 5s because of the lighting. For point and shoot, I've had no regrets.

went from a GNex to the HTC One. If i had to do it again, i would go to the Moto X developer edition. My friend switches between that and his 5s. And after using it, I like it a little bit more than my one, although I just think thats mostly because of the power button location and that its closer to pure google instead of Sense.

How long have you had yours? Is there a certain batch that had the bad camera? I've also read that some users have fixed it with another rom, or the 4.3 update. It all seems messy and no clear answer in sight.
