How does it compare to the htc touch hd2/htc desire?
I have read it is slightly slow at taking photos which is not a problem.
How is the quality of the camera/video camera?
When the streak will be updated to Android 2.2, what benefits/improvements are we likely to get?
Thanks in advance...
The camera is terrible, unfortunately.
Well, the quality is good, but the shutter speed is ridiculously slow so you get VERY blurry pictures unless you have a stupidly steady hand.
Also you can forget about taking photo's out of a moving car, just a blurry mess.
On the plus side, the video camera is pretty damn good
The 2.X update should bring many updates and hopefully Dell will tweak the camera settings. But, if not, as soon as dell releases the Kernel source we'll be able to do it ourselves!
Many thanks Meltus for your reply!
It's good to hear the videos are good. I wasn't too bothered about the pictures as I have an HD2 which is fantastic for pictures but poor for videos...
Yup, camera is poor. Phone is great though

I don't think camera on the tablet is necessary so I didn't regard the resolution of the camera when buying. When I go back an take some photos, I think that it is 1.3MP... and now you tell me that it is 5MP, then I think that is software problem, cause my i9000 also takes these kind of photos with poorly configured camera App...
Here are a couple I have taken just now in decent lighting. Ill post some from outside tomorrow.

Not that I use the camera a lot but I don't think it's horrible by any means. Didn't really use any effort to get a pic, just picked up my tablet from the couch and took em. It's no dedicated camera but in a pinch it's pretty good.
A few more of TV erptc... in low light. Looks amazing outside though.. and one jacked up controller

i m not satisfied with the photo quality. It feels like photo has been taken by a 0.1 Mega pixel camera.
Come on Acer you can do better
I'm not sure what all the fuss is about? I've taken several pictures as well and I have no complaints. As a matter of fact, I was shocked by the quality that I was getting from the camera while taking photos and video.
Not even the iPad 2 takes great photos. Use your phone or don't use the tablet. Personally, I'm so pleased with the Acer. It's not the best but I think I got my money's worth.
Only thing left is HD video. I want that update pronto!

Don't get me wrong, the picture quality doesn't need to be great. But it can't be BAD. I'll throw some up here in a few
Ok I'm almost certain the biggest issue is the autofocus. It just doesn't seem to lock onto anything
Here is a video I took outside mid day overcast. Needs an update

I read several reviews about the focus before I bought it. All of them praised the picture quality.
My focus takes HORRIBLE pictures. I mean they are TERRIBLE. They are grainy, blurry and just look plain bad.
Is this the same for other people or could there be a problem with my camera?
I wanted to get other peoples input before I brought my phone into the AT&T store to look at it.
You can compare to these pics:

IMO the Focus camera isn't nearly as nice as the iPhone camera but I wouldn't say my Focus took bad pictures. If they're really bad, you may well have a faulty camera. Take it back and at least compare.
Gotta say my Focus takes some of the best pictures of any cell phone I've ever owned.

Really? I think the iPone camera is very meh. My HD2 took much better pictures.
So AT&T yet again surprised me. I went in and voiced my concerns about my camera and the guy went out back, got me a new phone, set everything up and I was on my way in like 15 minutes. Zero hassle.
I'm updating my phone now and will take some pictures after. I hope they come out better...
and I learned a lesson... don't plug a SD card into a non updated Focus.. On phone #3..

Since the search function is working, wasn't sure if there are any other threads about this.
I came from the s2(et4g) which had an amazing camera. Anyone else find the camera quality on still photos kinda poor on this phone?? I know video is awesome, especially with the video bitrate hack, but still photos do not come out to good. Front or rear camera. Post your findings. Hopefully its just software related
Mine have been pretty stellar.
I am not impressed at all with the camera, the one X is taking better pic imo
A little bummed out about that
the camera on mine is just terrible. Backlit CMOS sensor my a$$.
The camera is better than the s2 but does not compare to the htc one s/x.
I'm coming from a GNex and the quality on the GS3 is amazing compared to the GNex, and much better than the GS2, IMO. Probably a dumb question, but have you made sure there aren't any smudges or anything like that on the camera lenses? I know of mine gets a little finger print or a smudge the quality goes to balls until I clean it up.

Even the htc amaze takes better pics than the s2. Just saying.
My sgs3 is taking much better pix than my sgs2 and HTC evo I played with. HTC has too much noise even in bright condition. And did a comparison picture with both and mine was no noise, and sharp. HTC was opposite. I have firmware zd

Hey can you post the camera firmware from the instructions in the thread linked above. I have the t mobile version too with ZD firmware and low light performance is not good. Just curios if you have the difference module and firmware. If so i may try my luck exchanging the phone at store.

The pictures are poor. You're gonna have some good, some bad, but overall the camera is poor. Especially when zooming at all.
The camera app itself is snappy and it'll focus fast, but this ultra pixel with 4mp just isn't gonna get it. There is 2 year old technology cranking out better, more consistent pictures.

He's been bashing the M8 all day. Camera is decent just not enough megapixels for his liking.
Tell me that the photos from Engadget are fake!
They look horrible
Ive seen a couple short hands on reviews that say the M8 pics are no better than the M7. The only thing the M8 has going for it in the camera department is speed and that new refocusing feature....which one reviewer said doesnt really work that well. Hmmm

Yeah, um, those Flickr photos look more than acceptable for me. I don't need the best camera if I'm getting the best screen, audio quality, and experience that the M8 will surely offer as the M7 did. The camera is literally secondary (or, well, further than that) than all of those areas and, even then, it's not really bad at all.

NO.
NOT ENOUGH MEGAPIXELS.

In all seriousness, when it comes down to cutting costs on a smartphone design, camera would be the first thing on my list too. Would you rather it be made of cheap plastic, not have front facing speakers or have a smaller battery?
I'd take superior hardware/build over a great camera any day. I know we want it all, but it seems like we just can't have it all. At least not til the M9.

IMAG0065 that night time pic...looks really really really bad. but for the most part its not bad. Matter of fact all the night time ones are really bad towards the end .
In complete and utter seriousness guys (not being a fanboy either) I was MORE than pleased with the camera on the M7. That was my primary concern that I debated over for months before getting the M7 - giving up my iPhone 5 which took awesome pics was a difficult choice. Hands down, I'm more than excited to get back to Android (had to go back to my iPhone 5 due to selling my M7). The true wide angle 16:9 is so awesome and the pics were great. Overall, I felt like I was able to regularly capture more accurate color representations with the M7. Low light was pretty great too.
I will say, there were a few times where I was left wishing I could crop to a larger size and retain image quality. However, for me personally, it wasn't a big enough issue for me to ditch the phone, as I don't need to do that often enough. If you're someone who is perpetually cropping, this probably isn't going to work for you.
Also, I used to have an album of pics I took on my phone to show people when they'd play with it. I received soooo many compliments on the pics I took and more people saying "This phone has such an amazing camera" never knowing it was only 1/2 the MP's as their phones.
I understand and agree with the major drawbacks of it, however, as an overall quick shooter to the ability to take your time and change settings to get an optimal pic, it blew me away quite a few times. That's more than I could ever say about my iPhone.
Addition: there was a thread I saw with M7 vs. M8 photos and the colors looked quite a bit better and more crisp on the M8. I'm excited to see what I can do with it.
although the MP is disappointing, the strengths of the phone outweigh a blunder such as that I think. It's not like the camera is crap, it's just average for current times. We just had higher expectations as we should have especially compared to last year's. I would say the camera is "adequate"
