Hello,
i would like to know how usable you feel is the rear camera ?
Currently i do not own a Smartphone.
Would you say it is good enough for small task like a quick Youtube video or snapshots ?
Considering the small diameter of the sensor 5 Megapixel should be rather ideal.
Analysing the product pictures it appears to me that the sensor is even a little bit bigger compared to most of the Smartphones (I am not referring to the outer ring)
I would be delighted if you could upload sample images (Indoor, outdoor and low light) and videos (720p and 1080p).
A few words about the front camera would also be nice.
Thank you very much indeed!
Best regards,
pootney
Link to origami pic cuz its biiiig
Hello,
thank you for the upload!
Nice Origami :good:
Despite the fact that the room seems well lit there is noise all over the image.
Altogether the quality seems to be not satisfying but i did not really expect more from a Tablet.
Best regards,
pootney
yeah, it's nothing special at all...a simple 5mp camera, really. can't expect too much, but the video isn't really too bad.
Not very good, noisy even outside.

1. Thanks, its one of my hobbies
Spoiler
2. They're normally not up to par like a GS III, etc, cause 'most' people don't use it as a picture taking primary device. Additionally, a better camera would have drove the cost up more
Hello,
thank you guys :good: !
I would be glad if someone could upload a video recorded indoor in a well lit room.
Actually 720p is enough.
This would simulate nearly a trial to record a short Youtube Review for me.
Sometimes the video quality is definitely better than the image quality.
No hurry!
Also would you say that the quality of the front camera have improved compared to the old Nexus 7 ?
Would you describe it as good?
Unfortunately i am limited to 8 thanks per day :angel:
Your contributions are much appreciated :good:

I just wanted to bring up that my S3 took pretty awful pictures while using the stock software, but I installed CM and the pictures and videos I was taking turned out nicely. I'm sure that the same will hold true for the camera on this tablet. I'm especially excited for CM's 'Project Nemesis' in relation to his tablet.
download LGCAMERA from the play store, takes better pictures at full jpeg quality and the correct white levels. Also you can use LGCAMCORDER and set it to record 1080p 20mbps data rate video with 128bit AAC encode rate! at 30fps or higher
Hello,
i was also thinking maybe the camera could be tweaked.
@skyhawk21: Could you please upload the same scene once taken with the stock app an once with the LGCAMERA app ?
I am curios how much it improves.
That would be awesome :good: !
Also now people are starting to upload video samples on Youtube.
Here is a good one:

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 ...

Then again, I might be spoiled by these babies:
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.
Defy on macro with flash
Defy with macro no flash. Shows good detail.
thanks
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.

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.
-felipe
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
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.

Dude it's a phone, the pictures are fantastic for a phone camera and there's a lot of shots which are very good as shown in the pictures in this thread and other threads
If you want a good camera and want to be able to not have any drawbacks, I recommend a DLSR
Or use photo shop to fix any photos maybe
nice pics!
The first two pics and the last one look pretty decent. The others are way too noisy though. Looks like the ISO was a bit high, that or the Digital Zoom has been used. Personal opinion, but Digital Zoom is always a no-go for me

Hello Gliders,
what do you think about photo quality with Captivate Glide?
I have to say I'm barely satisfied with it. Pictures taken with it are good, but they totally can't win a comparison with those taken with my old phone (a Nokia N97 mini with a 5 MP camera).
You'll find two photos attached just to notice the difference (and I can totally assure that difference is way more evident in daylight photos.. Nokia, sadly, rocks.) The first pic is taken with Glide (Camera FX is the app), the second one with Nokia.

Did you experience the same?
Are you satisfied with your camera photo quality?
Any fix or app or tool or anything to improve photo quality?
Google and xda weren't my friend this time.
try it with the default app. i have found a lot of 3rd party camera apps do not take as good of pics as the default camera. a lot of them crop and enlarge a photo that the camera is more than capable of taking at native resolution.
If you ask me the glide is bad at close ups but if you take a pic of like a mountain ut does great but you could make sure in the settings that the resloloution is set to its highest mine has changed on me before

I think there is something wrong with your camera, maybe its dirty or something, for my part i am very pleased with the quality of the glide's camera, here's some examples:

I have to admit, your pics are very good. I don't get the same quality.
Are they taken with the native app?
Any suggestion about what I could do to improve mine?
I have inception v2 rom and those pictures were taken with the stock camera app. As for advices, always touch to focus before taking a picture, make sure the lens is clean and most important of all, don't shake while taking the shot. But you may be unlucky, all the digializers are not made equal and on a small one like that, the tolerance is pretty big, or maybe I got lucky with mine. But your picture looks more unfocused than grainy (little coloured dots), so I think your digitalizer is fine. Try touch to focus and stay really steady. Sorry for bad engish
I was using Camera Zoom FX for a while too. I bought the app when the Google Market was having their 10 cent app specials. After a while I noticed that the pictures were always out of focus and appeared grainy and it was very difficult to get a nice clear photo. Later on I decided to try going back to the stock camera app (I am using Osimood) and noticed a huge difference in the quality of the photos. At the very least I found that it was easier to take good clear photos with the stock camera app. Once in a while the photos from Camera Zoom FX would look good but it usually took me quite a few tries before I got the picture that I was satisfied with. If I get a chance I will post two different pictures for you to see.
I'll try, but I don't think I'll get pics as good as yours. Let's see.
Thank you )
this one was taken with my glide. i think the phone has an excellent camera. i have found that many, if not all of the 3rd party camera apps all come out blurry. mainly because they take a photo at a certain resolution and enlarge it. check your resolution on camerafx.
Share your photos here in this thread! We all know the camera is the weak link of this phone. However it is capable of taking good images if you ignore the absence of sharpness or accept the heavy noise reduction. Behind all of that are images that generally are well exposed with good dynamic range and natural colors.
I'll start. All photos shared here directly from camera without any kind of editing to give a fair picture of the phone (no pun intended).

Thank you very much! Yeah images get noisy but colors seems to be just fine so I can live with it. The subjects are what matter anyway not sharpness or something although it's a bonus. But it doesn't make a photo "better". It's pretty fun to shot with this camera it's very responsive.

I am currently using Arnova 8.1 port and it works flawlessly.
Truth be told I have used its portrait mode on a baby and the results are magnificent.
Imho, the MIUI camera is rubbish compared to what gcam gets from the sensor.
