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

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 ?

the video quality is ok its looks good and u only notice very little fussiness/graininess from the video, i would like to know what...
1- whats the recommended codec format
2- whats the recommended video bitrate

Well you can raise the bitrate a lot, at least 2000. 712 is more like the bitrate the HD likes. Keep raising it until your happy the quality, smoothness and files size are to your taste.
I believe you can turn CABAC on as well, the HD didnt like it but the HD2 seems ok with it, it should help quality.

I'd go with .mp4 since it's universal with iPods and such.
What's the resolutaion of your original source?

will look into this now matey thanks

heres a sample ive done using same settings as in post one .m4v ipod format
different bitrates

Is this some kind of a sport or are you guys really going to convert every single video to watch on your phone? I mean, you aren't going to use it as your primary video device, are you? And for occasional watching isn't this too much of a hassle?

If you spend 30sec and look carefully you can see a difference, seeing it for 1/30 second i doubt you would even notice. 2000 bitrate should easily be enough, bring the file size down too.
As a percentage, how much bigger is the 4000 bitrate file over the 712 one?

yes think 2000 is plent, size is
712b/rate = 15.3mb @ 02.33min lengh
4000b/rate = 79.2mb @ 02.33min lengh

Come on, it looks ok! I'd give it 7-8/10
It's clear and quite smooth, around 27/28fps, far better than it was before...

Was that with the BRAVIA engine on?

How do we know this was recorded using a Xperia Play?

Does it have option to record in 480p too?
Could you do a video example of the same thing in 480p and 720p to see how it improved?
How is it light compared to real life? We don't have the Exmor sensor

Hey,any improvementis good improvement.it looked quite crispy

Looks decent
Oh and just a hint, to embed a youtube video on the forum just just the video id (in your case its 96EocxqNVGs) and put youtube quotes around it
(YOUTUBE)96EocxqNVGs(/YOUTUBE)
Use square brackets though.

This image to demonstrate that there exists recording HD ?

I think its still the same, here's a clip from the last vid I recorded from my 2.3.3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16w8pVOwG2o
On my free time I'll try to upload some vid with some of my fighting *****..

Ok, I'll take a video of something tomorrow in 480p and then 720p, and I'll edit them in side by side, and see what everyone thinks.
@Miles Wolf This was recorded on my Xperia Play, as I stated earlier...don't see why I would fake it?

not much difference from the old 480p with regards to picture quality and fps, though the increased resolution is something!

Awwww, how cute the dogs are.

Nice, buy they didn't change the interface of the camera, right?
But, is great

Breaking bad is on Netflix in 4k. Wonder how long it'll be before the app will support it.

That's good to hear YouTube on this stop doesn't support the 4k tech? And I've been watching the breaking bad binge marathon every Sunday

You realize you can't show off the quality of the display via a screen shot. This needs to be experienced first hand.
To my untrained eye the panel on my G3 looks good in general , too bad for the sharpening though which is noticeable in some cases.
Web video looks good in general, but I won't go as far as to say that a 1080p display would be very bad (thinking about the G2 for example). The best content on this phone was content that shipped (the sample videos) and I copied a random 4K sample on it for kicks.

Video Recording Bad Quality

I shot some video in standard HD and i'm surprised how bad the quality is due to compression artefacts. My S6 shoots way better video than S8.
This can't be possible.
Am I missing something? I can't find any settings for compression.
And there's no way such bad quality is the case when I've seen videos from other ppl and in reviews as well as Samsung's own advertisements/ showcase of camera & video shooting.
Help/ suggestions appreciated, thanks!

Wait so you are shooting in 720p and expecting good quality?

It's shot in FHD 1080p.
And I've had way better quality on my S6. Something can't be right.
Usually the video on these smartphones, at least since S6 is almost on par with DSLR video.
But now the videos I shot on my S8 are below acceptable. Extremely fuzzy and large compression artefacts that I have never seen before on a smartphone. Not even when I was still on my iPhone 4.
You can see other examples of videos on YouTube that people shot with S8 and on review videos, which is what I was expecting. But not extremely poor video quality.
And there's no settings at all for compression stuff. Any other ideas?

Here is also a screengrab of a part in the video.
It's a test video done in the kitchen. There was enough light, even bright lights on except in that part where it was a little darker but it should never be this harshly compressed even in somewhat darker or low light conditions.
I mean look at the image. You can barely notice any straight lines and the fridge corner, it's so extremely fuzzy breaking up any straight lines.

My videos looks the same in dark. Terrible & unacceptable :\
It would be better if there is dark in the darkness instead of this software-tuned ****.

@MXS801 that's exactly why I started this thread a few days ago: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/bounty-camera-mod-bitrates-jpg-quality-t3613441
any help would be appreciated ..or at least spread the link in so many threads as you can so all can see it..

Try this maybe
I have same problem too on low light, try to :
- Set to FHD or higher
- Dont use 60fps
- Disable stabilization
I tried that and seem fixed it

I'm having the same issue... But wondering why this isn't a widely reported issue?

Samsung paid for youtube reviews. Those videos were probably shot with thousand dollar dslr cameras. Wonder what the u 11 camera actually looks like. Hm. ?

Wow I changed from FHD 60fps to normal FHD and what a huge difference, but it should be the opposite really...
