Example photos?

Hi Guys,
Had my Desire HD for 5 days.. thinking of selling it and buying a Nexus S!
Just wanted to see some examples of photos taken with the Camera?
I've no need for amazing photo quality but still want something reasonable to justify the hassle in switching.
Thanks in advance

I took this picture in a completely dark room: Click to see how well it turned out
Also when you check out that picture, I have a picture of a fluffy green android I took, that was in a relatively dark room. (It's the one taken after December 16th)

Thanks for the reply... link doesn't seem to be working though?

Awesome thanks ... works now i'm at home so must have been my work PC playing up.
Looks good, pretty sure i'm going to swap

* UPDATE *
I'm now a proud owner of a Nexus S .
Went into my local Carphone Warehouse and from the minute i held it i knew i would buy it!
In my opinion it's positives over the Desire HD are:
- Speaker clarity and volume is 10x better
- Handset feels like a perfect size and weight (Desire HD was very big and heavy)
- The Super AMOLED screen is amazing!
- The camera takes photos and videos that i'm more than happy with

Good luck mate, its definitely a better phone than the hd, but the hd is a better spec

Thanks.
Yea i agree the HD is a great phone but for me just not practical.
I found typing on the HD a real pain and made endless mistakes. With the Nexus S it's easy

Welcome.
I also think my NExus S is beautiful.

You know, after spending the last few days wading through trolls who came to this forums just to trash a phone they don't own, don't have any intention of buying, and never even held, it sure is refreshing to see a post from someone who acknowledges the shortcomings of this device and yet, is still satsified with it because it is, in their opinion, right for them.
Thank you for this thread, OP. Let no one else but you decide what is right for you.

Kickstand Case for Nexus 4

Hi!
I will use Nexus 4 for video chat and recording a video (sometimes). I am looking for a vertical kickstand case.
Vertical kickstand:

I used PureGear Hard Shell Case with Kickstand for my Gnex, and I loved it because I don't have to hold the phone for using video chat, and it just stands for recording a video (I do few silly stunts).
Why vertical? I use facetime/talk all time. It has to be vertical stand because horizontal stand will not work on facetime/talk because it would be too wierd for my friends turning their head to see me. lol
Is there a vertical kickstand case for Nexus 4?
Thank you so much!

Also looking for this or any know kickstand for the N4...

Seidio's kickstand case is in the works. Not sure when that will happen though. I can wait I always get the Active case/holster combo with my devices. Great for travel IMO.

I ordered this (ebayitem.com/350674511348) case on ebay. The photos appear to be of a real case and phone, rather than a mock-up. Once I receive it on 01/02, I'll post a brief review here.
(I actually ordered (ebayitem.com/160944505505) what appears to be an identical product at a slightly reduced price)
(Can't yet post direct links... sigh)

Here ya go

An update: I received the case, which is made of two parts (hard and soft). The softer part has a very strong vinyl smell which I am working to eliminate. The case fits well and is relatively light, though it adds plenty of bulk (and, I presume, protection commensurate with the extra material).
In other news, the touchscreen on my Nexus 4 gave out and I'm in the process of receiving a replacement. When I receive it, I'll post the review!

Nexus 4 tripod mount??

I've had a look and can only really find them for iphone
Really want to be able to connect to a flexible tripod so i can connect on to loads of things. Would be a really useful accessory.

Would be cool but, can't find any for this size device. I had one for my prior phones...

Here is what I do for my various devices... I use the RAM mounting system. I have a couple of different length arms, and bases for truck, boat, golf cart, etc. I have cradles for my, Nexus 7, Garmin, and iPhone, but for my Nexus 4 I am using the new XGrip universal which I quite like (since getting it, it is the only cradle I use anymore).
If you use this system you can get a threaded 1 inch ball with standard (1/4-20) threads for a couple of bucks and screw it to any standard tripod.

Any update on this? i really wanted a simply (pretty cheap) mount that i could use with the groillapod tripod. don't wanna spend a lot of money since i would only be using it for golf practice every once in while. Thanks!

Does anyone know a way to go about making a cheap tripod for a N4? I have a photography project due in 2 days and I need to produce some good photospheres and panoramas..
I just need a way to keep this thing sturdy while retaining movement. Holding it in my hand just doesn't cut it anymore.

There's this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150967108817 but the axis of rotation is the centre of the phone, not the centre of the lens, might not produce seamless photospheres ...
Mount it upside down in one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002L4QCVE might not be so far off-centre

That's what she said.

Hi
I like the look of the x grip.. I watched the youtube video linekd to and it looks great.
I know almost nothing about tripods.
The user "solutions et" mentions something about a one inch threaded ball. I have no idea what this is.. Where to get it?
What budget tripods can I get that will support the Xgrip?
Do I need to get 3 items.. The tripod, something in between, and an Xgrip?
I want to make sure they're all compatible and I don't know how.
Would appreciate any advice on that.
Thanks

You actually need 4 parts... the X-grip, a one inch ball with 1/4-20 thread to mount to the tripod's screw, an arm to interconnect the ball on the tripod to the ball on the X-grip, and of course a tripod.
Arms are available in lengths from 2.5 inches to about 5 inches. Check out gpscity.com for all of the various RAM mount parts.

Would glass work for someone with one eye?

Sorry if this seems a stupid question, but as the title says, I'm curious as to whether I could use Google glass as I only have sight in one of my eyes (my right eye)
Thanks in advanced to anyone replying, and I hope you're all enjoying your glass

Yes. It's not stereo; the little prism display is only over the right eye.

Thanks very much! I wasn't sure on how much of the lens it took up, so I was wondering about whether I'd be able to see anything other than the display.
Thanks again!

of course ,only right side has a very little display now.

The prism is small and positioned to be on the periphery of your vision, so it doesn't block much at all.

If you're right-eyed, you seem to be in luck, because all the pictures of Glass I've seen are positioned on the right.
See this picture, only that small square is actual 'display', everything else is more or less a frame.

Maybe they're going to make left ones too, who knows.

Google has said that it is designed to display right at the edge of your vision so as to not block normal sight, but they are assuming stereoscopic vision. Looking at the pictures again, like the one above, I am a little concerned that Glass might block, or at least obscure, a good chunk of vital vision.

That's what I was worried about, I don't wanna splash out and get glass and then walk into the path of a bus or something lol.
I may message Google and see what they say!
Will post a reply here should I get one

There doesn't appear to be a way to message Google with my question as I don't have glass.
I'll just have to wait and see
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

I'm in the same boat except I'm the unlucky one to only have sight in my left eye...
I'm really interested in Google glass but I'm guessing I'm probably going to be SOL... Hopefully they bring out a version for the left side...

Same here... I'm going to have to wait for the left eye version to come out the unit is designed asymmetrically, so it can't just be flipped over to the other side.

Excellent camera! Post your pics.

I took some pics of a friend's kittens yesterday, indoors, no flash, handheld, and was extremely pleased with the results. I also took some on a high-end digital camera and the Nexus shots were actually more pleasing! Some examples here.

Have you tried any macro shots? Doesn't seem to go as close as the earlier Nexus 5.

Low light pic last night of my puppy

Nice shots. If only the subjects were a little cuter...

Those kittens are so cute, love orange tabbies.

Me too. Their names are Calvin and Ziggy

Awww soooo cute! I was testing out my camera on my cat too. I even used flash and their eyes didn't take on that possessed look you usually get with flash.

Pretty good photos!

I have a girl (Nala)

how do you post directly in the thread instead of making it an attachment? I have a couple of pics i want to post

Yeah after having an S6 just for the camera, this phone has a very good camera. Maybe not Sammy quality but pretty close.
