Does anybody use Universal's Camera??

I am considering buying a Universal and one concern is that the camera is only 1.3 mp....many reviews have said that 1.3 mp cameras are poor at best ....worthless use of space at worst...
Can any of you Universal users comment on your use of camera?? Can you get good pics from it ....or is it truly a waste of space?
thanks
on the fence...

The camera is not that great but this might be of assistance, have not tried it personally as I have a good digital camera

It's not the best camera I've used but if you have a stable hand then it can work pretty well.
This is from K750:

All of these are from Universal:

I am not too impressed with the camera either, but then again, it's my first camera on a phone and I am used to digital camera quality. I use it for taking snapshots, and I use a good digital camera for photo's. That's the way it should be.
It just comes in handy when I'm on the road or whatever, because I always carry the phone with me, whereas I do not have a digital camera with me all the time.
I think it's just handy and the quality doesn't matter all that much for it's purpose.

look for more photos made by the universal here: http://www.newmobile.nl/eur/en/photos.php?phone_id=12bb134
you can also find photos on that site taken with other phones for comparing..

thanks everyone

Camera problems

Hi,
Been using various itje roms since i got my phone (but 8 months ago) I noticed after I put on the touch vista rom that my camera was taking awful pictures. I dont think it should be rom related, I just tried the touch 7 rom and it was the same. I prefer the vista one so ive gone back to that. Is it worth going back to an official release and trying ?
Ive gone through all the settings, its on 2MP shooting to sd card, on single shot mode (all modes including video have the same look) Ive checked all the settings i can think of. Whitebalance is auto. Effect is None. Quality is 2M (1600X1200) Fine.
Ill attach a picture to show you. I really hope it is software based and not the camera itself. Phone has been well looked after so it really should not be damaged. Externally it looks fine.

honestly i would try touch it 4 and see what happens
but when you say it takes horrible pics is it blurred like give us a discription

I included a picture which I thought was fairly self explanitory. The pics look like they have been posterised. The colors are separating distinctly, almost like its working with a limted colour set.

well it could be that the connection from the camera to the phone is a bit outta place but dont quote me lol
i work for motorola XD

magic with 5 megapixel camera to be released in US ? !

oooooooo I like. Too bad there's no hard keyboard.... :sadface:

No, that picture is fake and has been photoshopped. I just zoomed in 400% onto the image, try it yourself and you will quickly see how.

Wow you are correct.. But I will take the rom thank you very much.

Hahaha of course how is the ROM anyway? Would you recommend it, is it stable for everyday use? I use my G1 a lot so I need it to be stable

I use mine everyday, I use maps and phone most of the day while I work, I depend on my phone at work. So I recomend.

I got it from orginal website. It has been approved by fcc for release in US and i don't have a photoshop and also i dont know how to use it

anyone else notice the new battery? perhaps with the 1.5 firmware and this battery, it will last longer?

I went to HTC's website and did not see that picture, more over the HTC Magic is EXCLUSIVE to Vodaphone. They have already said this phone will not be coming to the US. I'm not saying you photoshopped it, someone else did. Again, simply zoom into the phone and look at the T Mobile bezel and 5MP bezel, its pretty obvious.

nifty though... lol

Any Pics Would be Great
Haha. It's too late for some for "unboxing" pics. Any other pics would be fine too.
BTW- I have read 5MP camera in some places and 3.2MP camera in others. Which is it?

Xperia Z5 Camera - as Advertise

Hi Z5 Users! Just curious how we can get a good shot with moving objects?.... or anyone can show how to do it in a proper way?.... As I'm wondering how Sony did the following shots in their website? As I myself is always ending up with either focus center and blurry shots outside the focal point of the picture, or mostly with blur edges or noisy pic, do we have to always use a tripod to get a good moving shot? (especially for me with shaky hands lol).

I don't believe they shoot those pics with a phone, didn't believe it as soon as the pics came online.

Use sports mode. In Scenes
Or Manual with low ISO and lowered Exposition im good light.
In a more difficult light with a slightly higher ISO which pushes faster shutter speeds. And lowered Exposition.
