How to improve camera quality?

Hello, i am going to buy Atrix. But camera takes pictrures ugly quality. Is there any way to improve quality? Compression? What´s about Droid 3 camera app?

I don't know about Droid 3 camera but, I'm using the camera app from MIUI as main one and for even better shots I use HDR Camera+ from the market. Try HDR Camera (not +) first to see if you like it, the + version has a lot more settings and uses flash as well.

Camera Zoom FX works a lot better, you can find it on the market.

Ya well Yikes Atrix Camera
Ya there are software options but the camera just isn't that great to start with. But the rest of the phone is amazing thanks to the development community.

using neutrino's rom atm and you can deff. notice the difference with this one or stock camera, I think it's the MIUI one

so the different cameras apps actually affect the quality of the pictures themselves huh? i thought they were there for effects, stabilization, etc.

i use miui camera aswell..just perfect !

Yeah its the same camera no matter what app/apk you use.
Only thing you can do to improve the camera quality is up the Mega pixels to 5 if you only had it on 3 for some reason. Other than that, totally placebo effect.

pictures with a HDR app look a lot better as you effectively increase the dynamic range of the camera

Not really I took two identical pictures one with MIUI Camera and one with Default CM7 camera, you can definitely tell a difference. While the sensor remains the same different apps will process pictures differently.

The camera in neutrino rom is good, but you loose the front one. Still Atrix just doesn't have the megapixels.

GS3 camera

Hey guys after coming from my Nexus which took terrible photos I would like to use the s3 to take some photos of the kids etc. I have bought photo fx previously and am wondering how this compares to the default camera app? What settings do you guys recommend like HDR burst shot etc? Thanks for any advice

Anyone?

Why don't you try a few settings out and see what works for you? I use hdr mode for landscapes as it takes a while to merge two exposures together and kids don't tend to stay still for too long. Macro works as it should. That's about all I can tell you.

I have tried a lot of different apps for the camera, but stock seems to match or better them all for me. I am no expert but am happy with the results. As stated, hdr is brilliant for still scenes and the colours it produces are exceptional. Don't use for your kids though unless their asleep

only reason why Im not on CM10 is because the stock Samsung camera is that good...almost SLR minus, aperture and shutter adjustment...

stock camera is the best afaik.... just fiddle with the parameters and find your best combo for various scenarios

I like stock camera too. Great images at all.

[POLL] Best replacement SENSE camera app for NOSENSE roms

i want to ask NONSENSE users which app are they using in theit aosp/cm/aokp roms in replacement of sense camera.
yeah, this thing is keeping me off to install a nosense rom, because im too attached on sense camera features (panorama, burst mode, etc) and i use often camera.

In my experience sense cameras do tend to take better pics..

Camera ZOOM fx or Camera FV-5, both are awesome
for video recodring I use stock camera app.

They are all good solutions for Camera! Thanks! What i miss the most Island the panorama feature,which i didnt find in any Third part app. In sense panorama photos are thaken and blended togheter at full res and the result is a heavy jpg. In other apps photos are taken with a Lower resolution and are lower than 1 mb. In most case,photos are not exportable in album,but they are visibile on the app "player" or via web.
Inviato dal mio HTC Desire HD

i reply myself just to share with all that ProCapture - camera + panorama app makes panorama photos in full res (4+ MB) and not low res (600+ kb) , but there's a catch, panorama is good but takes too much time to elab photos (around 1 - 2 minutes)

Imo no camera can replace quality of picture from sense Rom, shame, I personally had best experience with snap camera.

you will not get the same quality of picture, Whatever the application is in non-sense Rom, because of framework or any other system file. Use that same application in sense rom and you will see the difference in image.

Camera FV-5 will be my 1st option n then there will be others like Camera Zoom Fx, Camera 360, Shot Control, Perfectshot, etc

Ok, here's the thing.
Everyone who wants better panorama than the one on Sense ROMS, install this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133983

Yes and no...
App can use pretty much the same tweaking algorithms used in drivers/framework, so in theory there can be an app which would take similar pictures.

What's the best camera app you have found?

For instance... I have found that the stock camera does a great job on action photos with the sports setting whereas the Super Camera doesn't do so well, but it excels at still photos compared to the stock one. Photo comparisons coming soon... I would also appreciate if you guys could post photo comparisons too and what settings you used.

for me, i love Cymera and Vigenette
settings wise, i only change the mega pixels and i dont touch the iso and other craps.

I like Camera Zoom FX

Only alternative I really used was Camera Zoom FX. I use stock 99% of the time, works great for me.

I tried several a couple days ago and found Camera FV-5 works really well. The low light shots in that app were hugely better for color accuracy and detail than stock, Super Camera, A Better Camera, Focal, and Snap Camera. Plus Camera FV-5 does make low light shops look like oil paintings, you see the noise and the details both. There is a free version, try it out, I think you'll like it.

I am using the nexus camera app with photo sphere... deff works smooth on my custom rom, can't complain but much better than Samsung stock

Why are you saying that about a completely different phone? It's not even relevant.

Photo comparissons would be nice.What i have found is that stock camera with flash or no flash takes ****ty pictures at night,especialy faces,all look like water paint.Its that stupid denoise algorithm...

Camera app

I've scoured the market for a better camera app with the adjustments that this phone deserves. And I'm settled with camera fv-5. Hasn't got very good reviews but it suits this phone better than the stock one.

Does this app prevent the zoom breathing that happens when recording videos with the stock camera app?

Haven't tried video and not sure what you mean by breathing .
The photo shots come out better and bigger file sizes. And you can adjust sharpness and saturation ect , like on htc. More control over camera adjustments.

Have any of you noticed when running third party cameras (even the Google camera) that there are white specks in the video. You can really see it in low light.
The only camera app that doesn't do this is the LG Stock camera.
Just curious. It's a bummer, I love the custom ROMs, but the camera is a deal breaker for me.
I know that there is a port, but it's too glitchy. I missed some really great photo opportunities because it "couldn't connect to camera".
