Here are some comparison shots from my Atrix compared to pics from my iPhone 4. Most of them are very different......
Some of these are in low light, but all are on default - automatic settings, and iPhone 4 has HDR turned off. Flash is on Auto on both also and it came on the exact same shots so there should be no difference there.
Feel free to post more comparisons. The Atrix shots are 1st and iPhone 4 2nd btw.

wow thats pretty bad...
u sure u did everything right lol
The iphone has a backlit sensor and I don't think the Atrix does... it simply has a better camera sensor so this is no surprised to me =\
the iphone does have a tendency to oversaturate its pictures though...
that's pretty bad :'(
engadget was lying then when they said that the camera was good enough to use it on a daily basis

Maybe its better outside and that's how they tested. I'll try it out today.
I'm no camera expert, but the Atrix camera is great (but not as good as the iPhone 4). It could be much greater if it fixed the lighting control issues. Too much light. Too much JPEG compression, too.
I've definitely gotten better results than the ones above, but the camera isn't as good as the iP4's. I don't generally factor the camera into my phone buying decision too much, but it's nice to be able to get a good shot. I've had an x10, iP4, Captivate and Inspire most recently. The x10 and iP4 had the best cams. I wouldn't go back to any of them because of it though.
btw, I like that table

that sucks. we need more of this, and it would nice to see a captivate vs atrix comparison.
And inspire vs atrix comparison would be useful as well.
It's also not as good as the Captivate, but it is by far not the worst.

Captivate
Atrix
These were 2 quick shots and I think the flash was reflecting heavily off of the guitar in the shot.
lol, and seeing them both blown up they both look like crap. My bad.
Same photo with the winmo htc tilt:
Outdoor pics.
Captivate
Atrix
Honestly, the atrix is probably closer to what your eyes see. Which isnt always as pretty as a camera picks up.
iPhone 4 tends to saturate the **** out of pictures especially inside. Those actually dont look all that bad.
Well one thing is for sure, There is a purplish hue in its pictures.
Even on the first page the Atrix photo's look more "real".
Iphone even the 3gs does SOOOO much processing to an image it's not really a reflection of the hardware... Iphone pictures look better because of MUCH better processing software.
My 3gs iphone can take nicer looking shots in CERTAIN cases then even a older canon 5 or 6mp dedicated camera.
I think the Atrix pictures are great... there is a bit of blue/purple hue but I think a better camera app would probably fix that.

Hi guys, new to the Aria forums. Just wanted to say how impressed I am with this little device. I have an HTC EVO and just received an ARIA as my work phone and I am really loving it. I catch myself using it more than the EVO for a lot. It's definitely a snappy android device!
Craziest thing I noticed right off the bat is how nice shots are on the Aria. The Evo has a pretty lousy camera IMO but when I compared it to the Aria I was really shocked.

Same thing applies for video clips. The Aria wins. Definitely a cool device! It's nice to see a good little smartphone that's not getting as large as the recent devices out.
it seems like the Evo's pic has wrong focus (the bottle is out of focus) and it's a little overexposed.
Anyway, I have only the Aria, it's good to know how it's compared to others. Thanks.
You are right. But I've had the evo since launch, took a lot of pics. Aria still nicer imo. I should snag a more focused shot. Thanks.
It is definitely tough to grab a good focused shot on the EVO.
ARIA:
EVO:
awesome comparison looks like they focused too much on EVO's "speedy" hardware and not enough on the camera quality. i know majority of smartphone buyers want 3 things...1. resononable battery life, 2. easy mass texting 3. and camera quality good enough to replace a digital camera.
I should post two videos in comparison as well. The EVO owners all agree, our "720p camcorders" are lousy.

please do man. i would love to see the comparison and what the hype is about having 720p capabilities. so far as youtube videos go...recording with the standard video recording Aria is fine.
I love HTC and Android devices, and the EVO is a slick device but it is really lacking in a few key areas. Anyway I am away from my PC now so I won't be able to load any vids up. I should do some outdoor stuff because the low light vids I have I would say are borderline unwatchable.
seems to me the weakpoint of the arias video capabilites come not from the actual video, but from the audio capturing.
I just got my Aria, and the camera takes horrible pictures - very blurry (and I hold still and hold my breath). Are there some settings you would recommend?

my Aria takes reasonable quality pictures, esp. outdoors.

I recommend Camera 360 Pro - hands down AWESOME for taking photos! You can apply effects that'll make it look like you own a DSLR. And you HAVE to have a very steady hand - there is virtually no image stabilization for these devices despite what options you may see - the "software" image stabilization plain sucks. I usually find something to rest the phone on if at all possible for the best shots.
Here ya go.....
Once i let my camera gather enough dust to yield this picture
I dominated your screen; thats right.
After taking a few pictures with my Aria I was amazed at how crisp my pictures were.

I was next to an iPhone 4 user video chatting with them using fring and their front facing camera is way better then our EVO's front camera. We were in the same low lighting right next to each other and his picture was light and crispy, seeing all his facial features as if we were in high lighting. On the other hand the EVO was all dark and I couldn't see any facial features at all. I always have to have it extra bright. Why is that? I thought our camera was better? Is there anyway to fix it? I hope, because I thought the EVO was was better than the Iphone4 in every way.

Um.. no. Its not better in every way. The 4 has better video recording, higher rez display, and arguably, is "sexier" ... did I mention its sheeple approved?
What our phones have over the iPhone 4 is Android, 4G, bigger display, a better carrier (in my opinion, having come from AT$T.) And the ability to make a god dammed phone call.
Im actually surpised you say the front cam is better as the EVO HAS A HIGHER RES FRONT CAM.

I am too. I always put my EVO over iPhones in every way. But when I finally sat down and played with one the only thing I did notice to be reverently better was the camera and touch sensitivity. My friend is a big Apple fan boy and he just got his iPhone4 in a couple days ago and he always try to compare his iPhone 4 to my EVO.
Resolution doesn't mean better quality.
So I don't even own an EVO, I'm still using my trusty HD2, but I came across this today and it's possibly the best thing I've ever seen... thought some people here might appreciate it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL7yD-0pqZg&feature=related
I've read the camera is actually the same tech/hardware/manufacturer (higher resolution), its just the software/driver is different. At least, that's what I read...

QFT more resolution just means more pixels, which means nothing if the sensor isnt larger.
im not sure what sensor chips both phones use, but be aware just because IT HAS MORE MP;S zomgmggew doesnt make it any better a camera.

Yeah it is a driver problem. HTC is just too lazy (understandble considering how Apple releases 1 phone a year, HTC 20+)
Evo has a higher end camera chip from the same manufacture as the iPhone.
That's funny every time I see it. Honestly though the video in general on my Evo kinda sucks, my hd always freezes and then the audio is way out of sync. Looks good if it doesn't freeze and my front facing camera is about as good as the web camera on my network. The wvga video is still pretty good for a phone though.

If anyone is interested.... It is of no surprise the Samsung Galaxy SII has been voted Best Camera Phone of class in this months 'Android Magazine'.
This is the line up:-
HTC Sensation ~ 3 Stars
Produced some passable shots although sometimes lacking detail, while video motion could be jerky.
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc ~ 4 Stars
A great screen and camera features, let down by lower-spec video recording and a lack of editing software.
Samsung Galaxy SII ~ 5 Stars
The most consistent results of all the cameras tested, with some nice editing software to top things off!
LG Optimus 2X ~ 3 Stars
Can produce some nice macro shots with accurate colour matching, but let down by its video quality.
Android Magazine asked independent users to pick out the best prints from the batch they had.
Tests also included outdoor brightness conditions which favoured the SGS2 very well.
Final test included the ability to not only take a shot/video but editing which again the SGS2 won admirably.
Nice to see GSII winning it but I've used ARC and maybe only me found the Camera a bit better than ours.

for me sony did a better job with camera thingy. they always have ever since the k810 cybershot model. haha~~
Arc is good but video not on par with SGS2.

They did make good camera's but that was till nokia came out with the n95.
since then the sony ericsson module has never been on the top.
Don't know which N95 you had, but the one I had was never in a million years better than my k810i or indeed my xperia x10 for pictures. Nokia pics, certainly on N95 seemed much like Iphone shots, cartoony and over bright etc.
Right now i'd say the Arc is a better camera than the Galaxy S2 but the video lets the Arc down.
N8 I don't know, the pictures i've seen on it look marvelous, but its not android so doesnt count lol

I know is android mag, but it would have been nice to see it go againts the iphone camera. Since i am a current ios user and always looking to see how Android has improved to a possible change over.
So the famous 'pink spot' maybe is not that significant after all. Personally, I hardly notice anything of this artifact in day to day photos...unless of course I'm snapping my white wallpaper.

Hello,
This weekend I spent some time at a store playing with a G2 and was very impressed!
Excellent performance, right size and drop dead gorgeous screen.
I am considering getting one, but I have been reading some complaints here on XDA about the camera.
My question is how bad is the camera in real life?
I currently have an iPhone 5 and use the camera a lot. I shoot in all lighting conditions and everything from landscapes, city scapes, portraits, candids, food... I also shoot a lot of social pics in low light and indoors of friends gathering on coffe shops and clubs and such. In these situations, the iPhone delivers pics that are a bit noise, but plenty useful on the small screen and on Facebook and such.
I was just wondering if the camera on the G2 is on the same league as the iPhone 5, better, or worse.
What's your take?
Cheers!
In my experience autofocus in a dimly lit setting (e.g. in a restaurant) suck pretty hard. My girlfriend's iPhone 4 handily outperformed my LG G2 in focusing. Once the focus is set, however, it takes a good photo.

Its better of course...But the camera software needs fine tuning,in order to be really good.But to take a great pic you need to sit and learn the camera options.Its not like an iphone that has pretty much only one mode for almost everything.
Intelligent Auto mode works pretty well for just about any situation. The de-noise setting in low light situations is too much though.
You can use one of the custom camera's from here on the forums and it will give a bit better quality and it also will focus faster.
G2 crushes the iPhone 5s. (At least in this particular scenario)

@ joshm.1219 What do you think of the camera compared to other phones you have owned? I recall you on the note II forums, does the camera perform much better all around?
everyone with a droid turbo, keep posting pictures, we want to see what you can do with those 20.7 megapixels!
Purchasing mine after work around 5pm est. My main focus right now is the camera since I'm pretty much impressed with everything about this phone when I messed around with store demo.
I'll post a whole bunch of shots and comparisons to my S5 around 8-9 est if all goes well. I did notice that reds were a bit over saturated in the samples I took at Verizon. Which was a big issue for me with my original Moto X.
This one is 21MP

Looks damn good, if people complain about that then they just need to use a DSLR.
Here is a couple from today....
Are these being alerted when uploaded? I assume they aren't 21MP files being uploaded to the forums
I think the problem is people have crazy expectations. Its a good camera but its never going to touch a dedicated camera with large sensors. I'm now switched to Google Camera because Moto one doesn't really seem to be much better.
These are using Moto camera still.
Low light shots I took while messing around with our prototype mini 3D printer this morning. Just quick snaps, no effort at all... Pretty impressive, although reds seem to be a little off -- oversaturated.

However, I do have a post with some serious concerns about the camera (link below) that I need to further test this weekend.

I'd have to say with the physical limits of sensor and aperture size the output is pretty decent and not overly over processed. A raw output would still be nice though.
