pictures looks great ... but there is no detail everything is melted and blended together ... too much software tweaks ... unfortunate - when buying I was expecting something better

Yes. I noticed even viewing Online Demos on my Phone that the S6 Photos were sharper and more detailed than S7.
The S7 in good light seems more similar in Detail to iPhone 6.
Not sure how S7 Camera got such a high rating.
If shooting low light it has advantages but does not seem to equal S6 in good light.
"Three iPhones and a Stripper walk into a Bar."..oh wait...no iPhone jokes...

This camera is unreal. Where my Sony Z3 would struggle this phone shows it's mustard incredibly well. Impeccable detail that is on par with some micro four thirds cameras out there. I'm very very impressed.

I think the pictures are fantastic. Way better than my SGS4 I switched from.

They seem to be the same as my S6 in quality, but better in low light, which is about what I expected. The S7 camera is just a touch better than the S6's from what I can see. Not sure what the other guys are getting, but this is on par with my S6 for sure.

COmpare this to my old phone, the Xperia Z3, the photo quality is much better despite its 12MP camera. The optical stabalization is awesome. i can zoom into an object and the object will stay relatively stable.

wish it was better
by the way, be sure to check out my website

The pictures and videos looks great on the phone but when transferred to PC or uploaded it is not the same. This is because of the AMOLED.

i just moved from lumia 950 to s7 and im very disappointed with pic quality , but apps make it up i guess

Show us the pictures, including why you like the camera or why you are disappointed by it.

The best low light camera phone with f1.8 aperture. Should I skip the DSLR?

Using pro mode

To avoid Samsung high postprocessing with extreme software sharpening i'm using RAW and than convert it with Photoshop. There is much more details in RAW so, picture quality is better.

Try Snap Camera...

After all the hype and rave reviews about the camera, I thought I'd be getting a DSLR quality camera. Using the default settings, the camera isn't that good and overprocesses everything. Pro mode fixes that and RAW photography is excellent though.

I haven't thoroughly tested the phone, I just got it 8-9 hours ago, but initial impressions is it's light years better then my old LG G3.

can you post some sample screenshots of camera here?
So far medium to high brightness takes excellent photos. I am finding HD much more appealing than HDR in most situations. In low light HD or manual mode must be used to get an acceptable photo. HD works very well in a single 13w(cfl) light illuminates room (low bedroom light level).
Soft fine grain present in photo, but it is not distracting and plenty of detail left.
So I opened the hidden service menu *#808# and went through al the test and when I came at the "optical image stabilizer" it says failed...anyone else has this? Could it be software disabled or is my camera faulty?
here is a picture for comparison

this phone has super hd camera the best thing i like on it
Camera seems to be very compareable to my 6S Plus. In low light the iPhone does a slightly better job, in good lighting the 1+3.
The stabilisation for video is much better in the iPhone.
I got my 3 Saturday morning these photos were taken in the afternoon all default settings

Important tip for making the most out of the 1+3 camera...if you want to take a good macro, you cannot rely on automatic mode. Switch to manual focus, dial it all the way down, and you'll get insane macros like this:
Here's a few shots I took a couple of days ago.

That pavement picture is my new wallpaper xD
I have both the 6p and the HTC 10 and while the 10 sucks and the 6p is hard to beat I am pleasantly surprised with the op3. It's really good actually. https://goo.gl/photos/RgwFUT3Rwhyt6XJL6
I am using Camera FV-5 and Cinema FV-5. So far no problems with them. Also to my eyes they seem to have better image quality.
I am uploading 2 photos: Direct jpg from camera app, another is edit of the same image in snapseed app(edited jgp, not raw file).
I am happy with the camera quality
When looking at photos other people have taken with the OP3 it often looks like they have a watercolour filter on them when you zoom in due to the image processing, but some other images don't. Is anyone who has the device able to explain this?
Thanks

Really great pics!! ?
my pics
After testing the OP3 and my 6P, the SD820 could be a beast, but man the pics on the 6P are much much better, specially in a low light environment AKA where most pictures happen AKA in your house. I cant say i am dissapointed, its pics are good in daytime and average in low light for a "$400 phone". But not sure I am going to keep it. So if you are planning on dumping your Galaxy, 6P or iphone for this phone, you might want to wait for another one if the camera is that important to you.
Hope this helps someone.

Certainly not as good as iPhone or Pixel. But for a budget phone, this is hard to beat. Portrait mode doesn't always blur the correct areas. Auto mode definitely is noisy and when you zoom in, often a lot of definition is lost.
But despite this, this camera is much better than many other phones. You will not hate this camera. It may not be the best you ever use either though.

Pretty much on the dot... For it price, I don't think you will get any better. For the manual mode, I believe it will beat phone out of this price range as well.
I am having some ptoblems when i try to review photos by native camera App.
Many times the last picture comes above the previews one.
Does anybody having same problem?

Anyone have latest asus pixel master apk for zenfone 3 zoom?
I'm really liking the phone - my only criticism would be that I find indoor pictures are too "warm" (yellow) but I suppose I'll need to learn how to play with manual mode for that. My previous phone handled indoors much better (Moto X Play, not known for its camera).

You can go into manual mode and adjust the white balance.
A camera with potential.
I love the camera in this phone.
Hardware wise it has same or in some cases greater abilities than galaxy s7 edge or iphone 7 plus.
The real problem I see here is software. It doesn't do justice with the hardware. Auto mode is rubbish.
But and the but is pretty BIG.
If you know your manual mode. You can do miracles with this phone.
(Remove space from link to access it.... I am not allowed to add outside links yet.... Sorry for that.)
And for the selfie camera and portrait images I would suggest you to use google camera port drive. google.com/open?id=1IEf-BZQdk_SH3WVG3aev05pdiRpVqW68

Live focus has improved!
https://i.imgur.com/W3dWNlz.jpg
The colours really pop out next to the S9, live focus is great on both cameras, the wide lenses are fantastic.
I'm a little disappointed with the selfie camera, it forces skin smoothing effects and shifts the colour temperature too, trying to make it "pretty" I don't need the AI to pre-edit stuff for me unless I specifically want it to, and there seems to be no way to disable that.
Why HDR+ is always grayed out ?
I can't believe how good the camera quality is coming from a note 9, although it wasn't hard to beat. All photos of my daughter were blurry and looked really bad. On the s10+ they're blur free and also the HDR function works so good, far less blown out highlights and sunny day shots look awesome.
I'm very impressed so far!
Two photos I love taken on my S10+!

I had the S8+ and then S9+ before this and I'm really happy with the camera but in my opinion the low light shots on the S10+ actually seem a fair bit more noisy than the S9+. I'm not talking pitch black but just as the sun is starting to drop in the late afternoon.

Exactly, even indoors shots have this "blurriness". Daytime shots under the Sun look fine.
Is there a big difference between the SD855 and Exynos 9820 camera's?
i dunno how you guys are all getting nice pictures out of the s10 + my s10+ everytime i take a picture of my dog.. the fur is blurry looks like a camera from like 5 years ago.. the selling point was the camera for me and so far it looks absolutely like crap =/
@XDA_RealLifeReview have you noticed that samsung is overexposing the front cam pictures which make it look weird and grainy but as soon as u turn to front cam video it appears much more natural and true to life.
But the back cam is pretty damn good!!
Anyway of reducing the overexposure, i have already disabled all beauty modes and i have tried that brightness slider but it keeps resetting everytime.
Beach day!
Not sure why my pics upload that way. I can't seem to fix the orientation.

Isn't that the major real world difference between the 8 and the 8 pro (OK, faster memory and a faster screen but can you actually tell)? So you want an OP8Pro but at OP8 prices. That isn't going to happen any time soon.

Me too.
Having moved from P20 Pro to the OP8 I'm quite underwhelmed with its camera.
I knew I wasn't going to get flagship 2020 camera specs but I didn't expect my 2-year-old P20 Pro to outperform it in every situation. Pardon the pun in anything other than bright light the P20 in night and day ahead of the OP8 and even in bring light I still prefer the P20 Pro's photo processing. The OP8 seems to either be too whitewashed lacking colour or the opposite, too much colour. That'd be fixable with a firmware update, however.
If anyone cases to see some comparisons shots I can post some up
it's exactly the same camera as OnePlus 7 models so it's average at best, you can have the same main camera for half the price with OnePlus 7 regular
Slightly much better than the Oneplus 7
Here's a macro picture
I got as close as I dared with my OP8.

Outdoor photography is good but indoor is much inferior to my dad's old samsung galaxy note 8.
Macro Camera has very low quality output and observed the color temperature is very warm.
Update :
Main camera with Digital zoom is giving much better results than the MACRO camera.
The macro camera is just completely useless. It would be better if they had just not added that camera. Instead they could have provided a ultrawide camera more on par with the main or wireless charging.
In fact that could have ended up being cheaper for them.
I compared photo with my old Samsung's S8
The photos on OP8 are better in normal light but just bad in low light. The selfie camera cannot even detect my face in medium low light, while S8 could at least detect my eyes and face outline.
The OIS in back camera is also not on par with S8.
Apart from the cameras everything is good in this device.
Under the right conditions not too bad.

Question Anyone has JPG/Raw Samples of Fold 4?

Hi,
thinking about getting an fold4,
i'm wondering if anyone could share some full jpg/dng samples? Just landscape or city scene or something
Hard to find some, i just found some processed/resized images here and there in review.
Would make me happy
Thanks & have a nice sunday
I've actually being comparing the photos from the 4 with my old S21U. Essentially the S21U shots are a tiny bit better, but not enough 4 is surprisingly close. Excluding x10 optical zoom ofcourse.
No perceivable shutter lag, though AF isn't as quick as on the S21 U, especially for close up subjects.
Overall am very happy with the shots out of the Fold.
x3 lens full res jpg, first is HDR shot, 2nd portrait mode hand held.

Main lens portait mode and night mode.
thanks a lot,
the grass is not really there, just a muddy greenish plane
but hdr and 3x zoom, still seems quite wide for 3x lens.
the second shot looks better, but. even there is dithering?/ too less color resolution?
portrait mode else looks quite ok to get photoraphs without too much crazy-going colors?
s20 ultra pictures always looked so unrealistic.

If you are talking about the sun set shot, the exposure was unbelievably challenging, I'm actually really happy with what the camera was able to produce. To the naked eye, all you can see is blinding sunlight .
Here are some 'normal' shots, the over warm colors is simply a Samsung thing....see below, wide angle, normal, and x3. These shots are basically the same as what my S21 U would do. Clearly no x10 optical.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the cameras on the Fold 4.
I also have the S21U and I think the HDR is better on the Fold 4.
Maybe the CPU.
Anyways I took good looking pictures, that was a thing I was worried about
Next time I'm gonna take both my phones to make a real comparison.
Here is some samples in 12 mpx.
