Hi,
in a German mobile phone journal I read a review on the Touch HD in which they claim that the camera is somewhat weak:
1. They say that it takes about 3 seconds between pressing to shoot the photo and actually shooting the photo.
2. They say that photos are blurred and out of focus.
Can someone of you that have the Touch HD confirm this? How is the quality of the camera?
I can confirm the 2-3 sec shutter lag on my hd. I wouldn't call the photos blurry, but of the same low mobile phone quality as many earlier generations. the 5mp are completely useless in my opinion, 2mp would be good enough. but the lag is really bad, pretty much rules out any snapshots or pics of moving objects...
I guess this is because of the autofocus working so slow.
It would be better if you could "point and shoot", e.g. as with normal cameras press the shutter half way to focus, and then press through. But I could not find out how to do it.
it says in the camera settings "main camera rear 3.2 mpcmos camera". (?)
i think the camera is fine as when you press shoot it takes a little bit of time to actually take the picture which gives you time to steady the phone in your hands(particularly as i have shaky hands) unlike regular cameras/camera phones when you lose some of the steadyness when pressing a physical shoot button.
quality wise they look fine no complaints here god willing.
..i have to admit that - among the marvelous things which i saw in the last 48 hours - the camera is the one that impressed me less. I really refer to the quality of images in low light conditions, the HTC cmos sensors have never been particularly brilliant and the touch HD is no exception in this respect (but it is in all the other aspects, in my opinion).

Thanks a lot to all the answers. Hmm, I wonder if this is possibly be cured by a software hack or later firmware, but I guess this is hardware related. Too bad. Still unsure between X1 and HD, and I know I would miss a hardware keyboard. Plus, the HD seems to be delayed in Germany ... And now this camera issues. I have to wait and see both live and compare them ...
Eriol
camera is not so bad. Considering that we are talking about a winmo device (the ONLY one with decent camera is samsung I900) I think HD takes brilliant photos when shooting with good light. It'S WAY better than any other HTC and slightly better than Sony Ericsson G900 (another 5mpx smartphone)
and is way back from X1 or Omnia.
ciao Eriol,
(I have a touch HD)
i think you are right: in the doubt, maybe better wait and see. I read about this issue of shooting delays, but actually I am not much sensitive since even with other telephones the time between thinking "i want to make a picture" and the actual picture is...10 seconds? it is very different from a real reflex camera, where in a fraction of a second you are there and the picture is in memory. I don't use the phone camera much, admittedly.
But once you will see a real one: the screen is really beautiful. I could read A4 pdf documents in full screen....by itself, to me is a quantum jump which is big enough to justify the choice.

No wonder, this comes from a ridiculous small sensor and cheap optics. But hey, this is not that bad!
well next month is when my contract ends, debating on what to get. i like phones like the G-1 and Touch Pro 2 however i love the simplicity of these type of phones. i have a dash and love it but i hate the camera quality. how is the quality on maple?

The camera on the Sprint Snap seems just fine to me for a 2.0 megapixel. Definitely not a Canon replacement, but not bad for what it is.
Better than the Dash
The camera in the Dash 3G is much better. Image quality and sensor speed are much improved.

Dash 3G/Maple Camera
I personally think it's adequate for a phone-based 2MP cam. Compared to other offerings 'tho, it's probably below average.
Just to review...your Dash has a 1.3MP cam, the Dash 3G has a 2MP cam and the My Touch 2 has a 3MP cam. I don't know if I'd consider that a significant difference, but YMMV.
Some reviews:

Don't forget: the amount of MP's tells you only a small bit of how the quality will be. It only tells what the resolution of the pics will be. Sure, low-res pics aren't pretty, but 2.0 MP should be sufficient. Now the funny part: a phone with an 8 MP camera but with a crappy lens can take uglier pictures than a 2 MP camera with a good lens. The lens is the most important factor. The only way to decide is looking at pictures taken by the phones and compare them .
So i've put a few videos on qik's site, and the quality SUCKS. I thought it was actually supposed to look good but it's extremely pixelated, even in HQ mode.
Which camera did you use? 8MP is on the back one but the one in front is 1.3, just enough to convey your emotions and face more than be high def or anything.

Videos taken with the one in the back look no better then ones taken with the one in the front.
Here are two videos i took to compare the quality. Taken and uploaded over 3G.
Rear camera: http://qik.com/video/7248873
Front camera: http://qik.com/video/7248546
Are those trees or are they green blobs?
I'm really hoping that the video quality is a matter of HTC or Qik compressing the ever loving hell out of the final result. If so, I sure hope it can be changed via root.
i agree, i tried to stream with the 8mp cam on as high a quality as i could get and still, the video comes out pixelated and poor.
The video coming out of the camera isn't that hot either: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrono/4679553815/

I also hope this, can anyone confirm one way or the other, where/when is it compressed, upon recording, or while saving? Is it fixable; it does seem pretty poor for a High Definition camera, no?

It's very difficult to take any good pictures without them being blurry either. Clearly Sprint didn't see this or brushed it under the rug?
Try putting some tape over the lens and see if that helps.

It's noisy because like all lower end digital camera's it automatically adjusts the ISO rating depending on how much light is involved. The less light the more noise.

Isn't the manufacturer HTC and not Sprint? Anywho, with a low end sensor, it's expected to be noisy. And by low end I'm just comparing to Canon's, Nikon's and Sony's sensors. I think we're just a little spoiled by those ultra compact cameras and forget what the phones are really for. But in low-light, you're always going to have a lot of noise (i'm assuming they're low-light shots). All day-time, well-lit shots of mine are actually really nice.

Hey Vandam500! Good to see another former iPhone (well, soon to be. Ordered an EVO last night) user from MR.
As for the EVO camera. I've seen some good pictures with it and some noisy ones. I think it's going to all depend on the light you take it in. It's a high megapixel camera with a small sensor.
It's not going to replace my DSLR or even my old PowerShot. It's a camera on a phone and I'm excited to use it.
Thats actually a produced sound comming from the speaker,you can turn it off in settings.

I reread the original post again since I forgot the exact wording. Nope we were right the first time.
Btw going to the link you posted about the sensor showed me the specs I was looking for.
Apple was touting their 5mp being better cuz of pixel size.
Well each pixel in the iphone is 1.75 microns while the ones in the EVO are 1.4 microns. A typical point and shoot is around 2 microns. So cell phone cameras aren't that far off from compacts. Of course a Nikkon D3 for example is 8.3 microns per pixel.
Here are the first photos I have seen on the web.
http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/htc-ace-en.shtml#4
(edit: more shots in post #6 below)
It probably doesn't come as a surprise to most of you: the iphone is still king.
It is sad that such an expensive phone with an 8M pixels camera still makes such poor pictures in 2010/2011, when my 10 years old 3M pixels Fuji camera (which is far from high end) has been making perfect shots for the past 10 years.
After the iphone with its great camera and the galaxy s with its great super amoled screen, HTC comes out with a new high end dream phone: old gen LCD screen and old gen camera. (Oh yeah, it does have a faster CPU and more RAM - this should make me feel much better, considering the Desire/N1 was almost unusable with its bad performance..... /sarcasm off).
Seriously, there's no excuse when the iphone can do so much better with a 5M camera.
Ok, these were taken with an engineering sample. But knowing HTC, do you believe this can improve when it releases in 2 weeks?
PS: and for those wondering about the video quality, it isn't better than what we have seen from the Desire, but the fps is more stable thanks to the faster cpu: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8202670&postcount=83
HTC simply doesn't give a rat's ass about photo & external speakers quality. That's all fine and dandy, but then they shouldn't label their devices with "HD" when they clearly aren't hd.
It's a shame that Nokia N8, whose only downside is that unlucky Symbian OS, will be cheaper than Desire HD. Actually, it's the other way around, it's a shame Desire HD will be more expensive than N8.
think imma skip this one. In fact, I'll skip all HTC's untill they start using better cameras and better speakers.
Photos were taken under poor lighting conditions, which effect the white balance, and noise and they are blurry (slow shutter speed).
Not the ideal test imo... I'd rather wait for some outdoor performance.
Iphone - King?
was just wondering... since when has the iphone become King of pictures?
I dunno about Iphone4, but when I compare the 3gs with my Desire, the Desire clearly takes better pictures, and in bad light conditions, the Iphone wont even shoot a decent picture (no flash) :/
If someone is the king of picture/video it must be sony ericsson.
Even though, I still think HTC makes quiet okay pictures outdoors in daylight.
Haven't heard of Iphone beeing better at this?

Well, we are talking about new phones coming out in 2010/2011, so of course I am talking about the iphone 4 and not the old iphone 3. Furthermore, keep in mind that you are comparing a new 2010 Desire with the old iphone 3.
In every comparative review I have seen the iphone 4 camera always comes out on top. It takes pictures that are at the beginning of something worth keeping, whereas the HTC cameras are just "okay", as you say, good enough if you want to show something to someone, but who would want to keep such horrible pictures in their photo album?
The iphone 4 shots, while not perfect, are something you can keep.
Anyway, we'll be seeing some more shots soon; I am still hoping for the best
Some more shots on this page: http://www.eprice.com.tw/mobile/talk/?prod_id=4018&tid=4509706
The 8MP quality is quite poor, but the advantage with such a high resolution, is that once you resize the pictures and make them smaller it isn't bad at all anymore.
I think a good test would be to take a pic with the iphone 4 at 5MP and the same pic with the Desire HD at 8MP, and then resize it to 5MP to compare.
(reload the page if the pics don't load, or go to the above link and then reload the page. The remote site seems a little strange at times)

very true.
My laptop at 1600x900 is pretty high res, but i still need to make the 8mpx shots smaller to see the whole pic. After resizing the quality looks pretty damn good. Much sharper.
I hate iphone but fact is iphone pixture quality is brilliant compared to any htc phone. I'm fan of htc but do feel let down by their camera, video and sound quality. Having said this I well probably still purchase dhd as everything else they do pretty well im comparison to any other smartphone.
Htc always promises great things but tend to short change thier loyal customers with their cheap skate antics.
Early indications show that the camera in the HTC Desire isn't noticeably better (if at all) than the Desire - have to say that for a high end phone costing nearly £500 this is disappointing at best!

Not sure I agree with that. Most pupular perhaps but certainly not the best. Nokia have always had Apple licked in this department and I can't see that changing any time soon.
One of the big let downs of the Desire for me was the camera and audio quality, if this has not been improved I see no reason to dash out and buy these new models.

judging from the videos posted here, the DHD records in AAC format, with a sampling rate of 44.1 KHz at 65 Kbps. I think this is an improvement, but im not sure of the EVO's output. If someone knows where i can download an evo clip to compare..

It would be preferable to compare with the original clip, not one uploaded to youtube. I'll do some snooping.
edit: looks like the EVO only does 8 Khz compared to the DHD's 44 Khz. Not sure on the bitrate though.
second edit: EVO records audio at 12.8 kbps compared to DHD's 65 kbps. Huge difference.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...evo-4gs-720p-hd-video-camera-paris-in-videos/
If the figures are correct then it's very promising. However the youtube clip is not making me excited about the quality. I certainly hope it's better then the evo but I have lowered my expections as far as the camera, video quality is concerned. This way I won't be dissappointed. Simples.

The i-Phone may now be good at shooting but it's definitely not the King.
Have you seen shots and video taken on the Galaxy S?
They are amazing.
This is part down to a very good sensor with a nice low 2.3 f-stop making it ideal for low light shooting.
I was hoping so much for the Desire HD but if what is so far seen to go by there is nothing to whet my appetite.

According to the dozens of reviews and comparative tests I have seen, the Iphone 4 always comes out on top.
Yes, the Galaxy S is good (most of the time comes out 2nd behind the iphone4), but Iphone 4 is better.
For example, here is iphone 4 vs android video comparison (galaxy s, desire and nexus one): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_v4EJT3aTg (at 0:22 you can click on each phone to get the big video for each).
As you can see, the iphone 4 is far above everything else (but I agree the Galaxy is not bad).
As for photo, here:
Galaxy S: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p9pmpIdf0q4/TI5bjpyyxuI/AAAAAAAAAi8/tfNGrB8CsGI/s1600/S16.jpg
Iphone 4: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p9pmpIdf0q4/TI5bi08vgZI/AAAAAAAAAi0/9-6SJY9Bkzw/s1600/I16.JPG
And there's more here (iphone 4 vs galaxy s): http://androidhd.blogspot.com/2010/09/test-iphone-4-vs-samsung-galaxy-s.html
Seriously, once you have seen the many comparisons on the net you can only see that the Iphone 4 being better really isn't open to discussion. (and no I never had and probably never will have an iphone).
edit: but I agree, the galaxy s is very good in low light conditions. Many complain about the absence of flash, but it does much better without a flash than most other phones with flash do.

My remarks are based on actual usage of the GS and first-hand observations of the Desire and i-Phone 4 operating at the same time.
I don't know who took the shot using the GS but they most certainly did not use the phone correctly... It is exceptionally bad.
All it takes is for the lens to be very slightly to the right/left/up/down of a another shot to pick up differing light patterns which in turn can cause all manner of display issue.
I have no issue whatsoever with the i-Phone's camera, indeed it very good and a marked improvement over the i-Phone 3g.
But from a personal point of view I find it difficult to accept it being termed 'The King'..... But each to their own and I most certainly would not knock your opinion or observation.

Well, to me dozens of different testers (some amateurs and some professionals) can't be wrong. Especially when the iphone 4 never failed to come out on top.
And I really did a lot of research on this as I was about to get a GS myself (before deciding to wait for the Desire HD).
But of course, I am glad you are very pleased with the GS. This is the most important in the end, isn't it.

So lets summarize the Galaxy S:
- Buggy GPS, sometimes it works for some people, sometimes it doesn't
- Laggy phone, sometimes it lags... sometimes not...
- Buggy camera, sometimes it works great for some people, sometimes it doesn't...
Iphone 4: it just works.

Well, that's not just my opinion. It's the conclusions of almost all of the testers on the web, amateurs and professionals as well.
By the way, I have posted several supportive links. Where are yours? (just kidding, this is a Desire HD thread after all)
