Ok I have I Touch HD, on the whole I have been very impressed with my touch HD, apart from the poor camera when not in brght day light.
I'm am due an upgrade soon, I am certainly considering the HD2, but i need to know is the camera better than the previous HD?
I understand not all phone cameras are great, but my Nokia N95 shot fantastic video indoorsm and the sound was clear even in night clubs it didnt distort. I would love to get back to this quality again.
I'm conidering the new sony erricson and Nokias, but I'd much prefer to get HD2, window mobile and HTCs front ends are much better than others I have used.
If the HD2 isnt up to scratch does anyone know of any new windows mobile devices that have camera performance equal to the Nokia I spoke about?
Thanks

i got an xda 2i believeing it will be better than the xda2.
everything is good in it but it dosen't have the fonix voice dail as promised.
and the camera suck's big time.
is there any upgrade for the camera?
if yes can someone post it here?
thanks in advance.
fonix voice dail is on the seperate disk in the box you have to install it
as for the camera i havn't really used it yet
as for cmos cameras in general then i never found one which had a quality i felt was good
Mpixels dont seem to matter much
it's cmos vs. dcc (the type used in real digicams)
cmos just cant seem to get colours right
and are pretty sensitiv to bright light and dimm light and...
and the optics in them are poor aswell
but i hear people say that some sony E and nokia have a better quality
but i've never seen good quality myself
also read that nokia is putting propper optics in some cam soon
but that dont solve the cmos tech issues
But have you seen the quality of Nokia's 6630/6680 and of course the amazing SE K750i. Those of the K750i are really of an quality that you can go to the shop and let them be printed on photopaper (or do it at home of course). And look how small the phone is! It has by far the best camera of all (western) cameraphones and they achieved to put it in such a small package. I don't know what HTC were thinking with these crappy ass camera's. Why put in a camera when it's almost completely useless? Better let it out and save some money. Hopefully the new ones will be better (althought the pics I've seen taken with the HTC Hurricane aren't impressive either).
I'm still under impressions about the HD and all its feat.s, but the most is from 5MPx camera, well done for phone. So please post your the best done picture ever by you HD!!!
Ehhh why not...first one is of the Washington monument here in DC,
The second one is of my almost 3 year old insisting she ride her tricycle uphill to her auntie's house on the left (yes, she knows where the house is...but is still struggling with that pedal/steer combo... give her a break, some of you still get left and right confused!)
Not bad, looks quite nice

Is this your first camera phone?
I mean some of my friends have been really embarrassed with the camera performance of our beloved HD, when trying to impress ladies with the "latest peace of the mobile technology" they haven't been able to accomplish such an easy task as shooting a decent picture, unless on a bright light. Most of the relatively old Nokias or Sony-Ericssons can do this.
I don't wanna even talk about the video recording
Best picture? Come on, we all know that htc have no idea about cameras.
Actually...I'm happy with the [outdoor] performance with this camera. I mean occasionally you'll get a jewel of (an indoor) picture...heck, sometimes with my 10meg camera I'll be disappointed...and yes, some pictures do come out somewhat discolored outside, but I just simply use a photo editing prigram to fix the colors and I'm all set. Remember, you bought:
1. A phone
2. Web browser
3. Digital assistant
4. Mp3 player
5. Camera...
not the other way around.
I have taken 3 pictures that i think is the best i can get out of my HD:
the first one of my mom's dog:
the second one the first flowers:
and the last one a pumpkin from halloween:
I've been this close to going back to a Sony Ericsson because of the camera... Only the video playback (still not as good as it should be) on the large screen keeps me happy
Here's my two cents
The black Sea
Countryside
Beach
River Terek
Although I'm not happy with the HD camera performance I use it occasionally as a back up camera. It's not really practical to carry around a DSLR all the time.

I made a test on My SE Xperia X1 (made by HTC and with HTC hardware camera) and I think that HTC's bad quality pictures is more software related than hardware related...
The rom I use has 2 camera application: the SE Xperia one and the HTC Rhodium one
Here is the picture taken with HTC app:
Here is the picture taken with the SE app:
>My wonder came after the shot done during my work, it was indoor and i shot a bottle, I think very good one picture;
>My mother owns SE K800, but I cannot compare pix, mine is better
>Anyways A+ to HTC for such camera (photo!), after Artemis's camera this one is earth and heaven.
Please continue attach quality pix by HD
pic is attached!
My abstract photo
This was taken through the windscreen of a van while moving.
The camera still's are not too bad on the HD but the video recording is utter junk, the original diamond take's far better video.
Here are my noob shots
...wish the car was mine though
Im currently running a touch Hd (blackstone) Now i want to update it to the HD2 leo
the info i need is did Htc update the camara in this phone.. as the current Hd (blackstone lense) quality is just dreadful and also lags in video mode.. !!
The camera isn't great. I reckon it's actually a little worse than on my Touch Pro. The flash is brighter and more useful in low light situations.....

I had a hd and the camera in the hd2 is 100 times better.there's a flash for starters, the camera is a lot quicker and much less lag in camcorder mode. I never used the camera in my hd because it was dreadful but have really enjoyed using it in the hd2
p.s. I have the Telstra version...not sure if that makes a difference anymore
Can't comment on the HD camera, as i have never used one.
I had the Tytn II before and the camera on the HD2 is a thousand times better.
I actually think it takes pretty damn good pictures for a phone.
It's the first phone that i am actually really using the camera.
Though I can't compare to the HD1, I have to agree that the camera on the HD2 is certainly usable from the playing around I've had it - more so in fact. The touch auto focus works well, flash is bright, it's very very fast (Jesus, taking pics on my Hermes whilst running other stuff...) and produces decent looking results.
Check the camera tweaking thread here at xda, where someone's found how to up the resolution further via some registry tweaks. There are lots of example pics in there for you to compare to what you'd get on your previous devices.
Looks great!!!!!!!
The screen on the N8 looks alot brighter from the angles the phones were being held ...
nice! the DHD make the work, is mach better then the N8...
No doubt I would definetely go with DHD.
The camera in N8 is muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuchhhh better, sadly the software is a fail and cellphone isnt sexy at all :|
guys,
what about USB On The Go i N8 vs Desire HD?
Do HTC DHD has sth like that?
DHD of course
The DHD its much better than N8, every hTC smartphone that came out its better than Nokia (not N8 VS S730, be realistic ) nokia have the Symbian OS, it sucks!
right now it can't run any other OS...

lol ur right the cam its so good the rest... bad :s
Symbian vs android lol, for 100 euros I would buy the n8
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Symbian is now discontinued. Praise the lord.
Sent from my super slick Android device.
N8 was my previous phone... The three things that N8 beats the DHD are:
1) Much much MUCH louder loudspeaker, with very good quality.
2) Camera. The phone takes phenomenal (for a smartphone) pictures.
3) AMOLED screen, which is the + point, but at 3.5", which eliminates the previous + (depends on personal tastes). If you use the 4.3" DHD, you can hardly use a 3.5"
Build quality was also excellent. If Nokia didnt stop the symbian development, I believe that S^3 was in a good path... S60v5 was totally crap, S^3 was way better (smoother, faster, more stable, etc.)
I never regretted making that change from N8 to DHD. I am actually VERY happy, although I miss a good smartphone camera...

Correct. My wife got the N8. There is no story between the cameras. N8 is superior.
You forget a thing: HDMI video out. It's fantastic!
Hey folks!
I´m one of the most enthusiastic Streak user within us (coming from an HD2 ) and I´m loving my new phone...
BUT: As all of you surely know, the camera is a not-so-funny-joke compared to phones like the HD2. So after many months where nobody has talked about this, my question is: What are your solutions/workaraounds for better pictures?
I´ve just tried the obvious: camera360 & MagicHour. But no, it doesn´t make it much better.
Last but not least: Is there some hope e.g. for getting some better drivers? Hope dies last, I´m praying for some very kind devs with similar intentions
Hmmm everyone knows the Streak's camera is no great and I think this has to do with the camera module itself. Look at HTC's camera, they mostly suck especially in low light conditions and in video recording at night - till now even if there is a great amount of developpers working on htc phones, no one has successfully modded them. And to tell you the truth, considering that the Streak is not that popular for modders, chances are really really weak that someone will work on it.
I think Sony Ericsson X10/Arc/N8/Infuse/Mytouch4G Slide are among the best camera phone if I'm not mistaken.

i also agree. sony ericsson and nokia always best in camera. i also own a streak 5. but my old nokia 6600 slide is 10times better quality photo thn streak though its only 3.2 MP.
I find the Streak's camera is perfect for quick shots, but prefer using my three-year old digital camera since its CCD sensor is larger than the one in the Streak.
With Camera360, the photos come out with a quality more pleasing to the eyes than the stock camera. It's ok to take photos if you are not picky about quality but don't expect jaw-dropping photos!
My fav camera phone goes definitely to the Nokia N8 and Sony Satio/X10 - they maybe a bit old, but when you take photos or videos, you can show them to everyone since the quality is high above than most smartphones!
I use a proper camera if I want to take proper photographs, the Streak is handy for the odd snapshot but it's a phone/tablet device, not a camera.
Yeah, my solution to poor phone cameras is to not use them. If the Streak didn't have a camera I wouldn't miss it.
