How's the camera of dopod838/HTC TyTN

I am currently an owner of o2 atom , those who've used it will know whY i am so skeptic , the camera of o2 atom is the WORST i've seen in my entire life , hell my o2 IIs was million times better with it's 1.3 mega pixel camera
Users of dopod838/HTC TyTN can you pls temll me , how's the picture quality , and how's the VIDEO quality , can we take a normal video with normal frame rate ? or will it lag like I am using a pathetic webcam

For a phone/pda/taoster device it has a decent camera. Here are a few pics I took in chicago while moving...in a truck, and I think they came out pretty good.

thanx nick , very decent picture, could you also tell me how's the video quality , is the video good , or does it skips ?

photo and video quality are good in outdoor / good lighting conditions (photos are not as good as but close to k750 quality, video is better) but at night and in dark places they are terrible.

Because the TyTN has onboard MPEG-4 hardware compression, the video comes out very smooth without any skipped frames. However, the compresion makes the video look kind of weird sometimes. Basically it looks as if you are looking up at the video from the bottom of a pool or something, with the image swimming around and looking very liquid. It's worse if you rotate the camera a bit while panning left-right.

@darky , at night I ain't expecting anything both in the photo mode and the video mode .
@rassah , will it be asking you too much to upload a small video if feasible , cause I cannot visualize the 'liquid' effect of yours ,though I am happy of to know atleast i doesn't skip
and o yes thanx u again

Hello
your pics are very good,...could you tell me how did you set your camera application?
(brightness, contrast, sharpness etc etc)
thanks

set contrast and sharpness to 1
as for video the coolcamera software ver 1.15b (third party) can record in avi which greatly improves the quality.

I've heard a lot about this cool camera software , affects that much ?

My HD2 Supermacro shots :D

I took an idea out of Lifehacker and ripped out the lens from a DVD player to make a ghetto macro lens. I taped this to my HD2 and took a couple of these shots. They were grains of rice about 1mm in diameter. (Rice grains can come in huge sizes too, but these were tiny )
Photos were then touched up in Resco Photo Manager and sharpened a little in Pocket Artist. I used Photoshop on my laptop to resize the shots to exactly 604 pixels on the longest end. This ensures maximum sharpness when uploaded to Facebook... however, that step was not entirely necessary of course and I could have just sent it straight from my phone to FB or Flicker using Resco Photo Manager 7.03 (an AWESOME program!)
DOF was tiny and there was no additional lighting used apart from the camera's LED. It wasn't easy. The lens was almost touching the rice. In post processing, I had to reduce gamma and brightness and boost contrast. However, in keeping with the main goal of the project, I did all such modifications to the photo on the HD2 itself
What do you think?
Here is a link to that Lifehacker site;

Thats actually fairly impressive! Is the colour balance your choosing, or a side-effect of the HD2s camera in such proximity?
All we need now is a way to turn this macro lens into a flip-on flip-off attachment to a phone

When I say "fairly", I mean "very", btw

They look pretty damn impressive!
Can you get a close-up of your fingertip? It's always a good judge of a lens as to how clearly they can get a fingerprint.

I will try that later tonight I did have a go yesterday but didn't keep the shot... The magnification was so great though I think I could only have 5 -6 lines of my fingerprint show up....

That was the HD2... after adjusting gamma and contrast... before, there was a blueish glow to it. The rice was sitting on my black HD2 case which came with the phone

Ah I see. Still, I will have to dig out an old PC and see if I can get the lens from it and do this myself. I think with a few people working on it and sharing settings/ideas we can get a good thing going!

That's pretty damn trick. I like it!!

Simply awesome

Awful camera quality

Do you guys experience the same ? Pictures are not sharp, colors are mixed up.

only in darker rooms. outside with sun pictures are looking quite well.
look here: http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/29/htc-trophy-review/

Horrible quality.
As usual with HTC... always these "orange-pink blurry" images.
Nothing compared to the great Omnia 7 camera unfortunately.

Quality is indeed very bad:
Here's a picture taken with my Trophy:

You can cleary see the pink/orange circle in the middle.

I hope they put a better camera in this when it comes across the pond to the us. I don't care about mp I want better quality

Yeah camera quality is quite awful. subpar when outside and when inside it's just horrible.
On another note are any of you noticing the 'GSM radio' sounds on video files you've recorded with the device?

i was in quite cloudy conditions and photos still looked good. i think it's just night shots or dark places that it falls over.

Too much noise. They are OK for a low budget phone, but I don't think that the Trophy is low budget (at least I payed more than 200€!)
Thanks for sharing

I'am having the same issue, only outside with clear weather it makes nice pictures. Also the flashlight is horrible, if you try to make a picture of a person it will always look away from the camera

I'm thinking of getting a trophy but I'm really put off by this pinky orange circle issue - does everybody experience this? Is it a hardware issue or could it be fixed by a future update?
Cheers

I have the red colorisation in the centre of the image also, not too fussed as I never use the phone to take pictures I use my Canon D450, if its that important that you need to use the camera for images then you can fix them images in Lightroom.

I got my HTC 7 trophy (australian stock) and think the camera is outstanding. Definitely the best non-iPhone camera phone I've used. Don't understand what all the fuss is about, really.

I have one and the camera is like my old htc p3600 in outsides when I use the flash the quality of the photo is bad with too much noise and blur.
I hope it is a software poblem and MS correct that in a future version!

Photo quality is really bad

Hy 4 all!
I have CM6.1 with Froyo on my Legend and I use the built-in camera app. My photos are always blurry and like so they were taken in a foggy, cloudy place. I have tried to increase the ISO, Deblur, decrease the lightness, increase the sharpness and etc... but nothing has helped. I think the LED flash is too strong. I dont know what more can I do. Has somebody else this problem? Is there a solution?
Thank you forwards!
Sent from my Legend using XDA App

Unfortunately, the camera sensor on Legend has it's limitation, if you do care the quality of photo you shot, you better carry a DC or a DSLR to solve this problem.

Yes, the flash is way to strong and built too close to the lens I think. The only thing this cam is good for is well lit day time shots. The flash will destroy any picture if used.
Sent from my Legend using XDA App

The flash is good as a flashliht though...I couldn't live without that...
I'm using Stock-like ROM with the original app and the quality is just bad too...

I don't find the Legend too bad, though I've never owned a really good camera so that might be why. I'm happy with the quality tbh, I used the app Vignette with the quality set to 'superfine'.

Well, yes, it can do a good picture while taking shot on a sunny day, although the shot is too light and unbalanced...Also the quality is good because of the resize - look at it in original an you will be surprised

Oh, come on, boys and girls.
What do you expect from a lens as big as a pinhead, a focal distance of maybe 4 mm and 5 mm sensor behind it?
It's good for a snapshot but you woulnd't want your wedding picture being taken with that.

Yeah, I use both Legend and Samsung Fascinate, the Fascinate's camera is much much much better, and flashlight mode is really good. I believe I can take wedding photos with my Fascinate. HTC's camera is never close to "good", always causes pink area on the photo.

Actually none of HTC's phone produce good quality pictures. NONE. I find the quality is acceptable for a phone. If you want the picture perfect quality then I don't think phones will cut it. It is good enough for my use though.

Camera Scenes Comparison

Hi!
I know that Official KK is gonna be available soon for our phone, so I was thinking about small comparison of all camera modes, before and after KK.
I have latest official available soft(Non Network carrier phone/Spain): 4.3 10.4.1.B.0.101 no root or any modifications.
Images are taken in full res without stabilization(Normal Mode of course).
Time: 18:00.
Sun is a bit behind left side of building, but still visible in the sky(that had few clouds) so we have nice neutral ambient light.
For now images from 15m distance, I'm gonna upload also images from 2-3m but that later.
I cropped images in place when we can see hard for camera scene full of high contrast black-white(bike) but also red colored trunk of the car, and a bit of green on top(small but still). Bike have loots of details so its easy to compare how every camera mode modify scene.
PS I had Polish language set in my phone so I don't know if English names of each scene modes are good :]
PPS I know that some of you think that its not needed, but looking at this images you can also see how every mode modify image so its good to remember if you looking for quick setting up camera
Because of big file I cant upload it to forum so here is external link to image(if you have problems viewing it click HERE):

In this week I try making this 2-3m images comparison in good lighting so we gonna have all camera modes in most common scenes :]

Hmm not sure if that was a good idea.
You should have done the images now.
To compare it it would need to be on the same day, with the same light with KitKat and Jellybean.
You most likely not gonna have the exact same lightning when KitKat gets officially released
But a nice idea anyways. :good:

Man, you did a really great job. You're my hero

Dont worry about that is almost summer now in Spain. Every day is the same: Hot like hell, sun in the same spot, few clouds in the sky. :]
