Well as the title says Im looking for this option for our camera. I know its possible because it was on 2.2 froyo. It was just called 1080 hd. So Im wondering maybe in some sort of add on could we add this option to the stock camera in the gingerbread stock. I know everyones seen the improvement in pictures with this update and with the bravia engine now the detail is unreal. Now wouldnt it be great if it was bigger?

Its not possible. The 1080p was only 2.1 mp not 8. Change your stock cam to 2.1 (16:9) feature and you will see its 1080p.
4:3 is the aspect ratio for 8mp on most stand cameras whether its a phone, digital camera, etc.
The second you start changing the aspect ratio, its usally gonna result in less mp. But why does it matter? Not like mp are what defines quality....use the 6mp wide option if you want full screen shots. The quality doesnt change.

there is a way to achieve 16:9 on 8mp its via 3rd party app called vignette once you buy it from market it gives you that option to do so. so there is a way yes..

No! Vignette does not give 8mp 16:9 images. It gives 6. Look at the exif info of your shots.

Exactly, and the second you change the frames you have changed the mp regardless of if you have it set on 3 ,5 or 8
Vignettes 16:9 option will give you 6mp image. Regardless if your set to 8mp

Please show me these images that do 16:9 with 8mp. Once you go and change the aspect ratio,,,the mp/resolution will change. Froyo cam wont do it, miui cam wont do, stock se wont, vignette wont, 360 ultimate wont.
And if im wrong, like I said, just show me an image along with the exif info displaying the resolution and mp
Im not trying to argue with you, I just want you to understand once your change the aspect ratio of the picture, it will change the resolution as well.

Please tell me what DSLR camera can change the aspect ratio and keep the highest possible mp/resolution?
I wanna buy it!!! lol
My DSLR wont and none of my friends will either.

I may be wrong!
3264x2448 is 8mp but our stock 6mp wide also takes width of 3264 but at the height of 1836 instead of 2448 pixels!
same as vignette or c360

Yep, your right. Which is why it changes to 6mp resolution

I'd rather have low compression or even no compression. At least then you start with a higher quality image you can crop/adjust without continous loss.

I was under the impression that SE has 720p ( HD) camera and not 1080p ( FULL HD). Also when we talk about 720p or 1080p, it is Video Capture mode and not picture mode. But I might be wrong......

Your absolutely correct!
The 1080p thing was a little overhyped. As its resolution is 1920x1080....2.1mp.

LoL yeah that 1080p was for still images and not to be confused with full HD video recording...

What should i set the photo size in the camera app? I was using the 13mp setting but the aspect ratio was small with black bars.
9.6mp is better as i can shoot photos in full screen. Am i losing any quality if i continue using the 9.6mp instead of 13mp?
The only thing you lose is a bit of zoomability. Nothing else.

Yes you are but if you don't intend on printing images in 4:3 format (standard) then don't worry about it.
Most people now days just 'view' their images on a screen or their own device. So in that case 16:9, wide screen (9.6mp) is the better choice.
FYI; I use 16:9

Personal preferences I guess. I am using 13mp
I did a couple of sample shots before. If you're not zooming in, you won't be able to tell. I do a lot of zooming on my pictures though, at maximum zoom, there is significant difference between the two. So I'm keeping it at 13 mp.
The camera is set at the default setting of 10mp. From reading on the forum I see people use this and don't up the mp to 13, is there a reason or an advantage to using it at a lower mega pixel count?
The shape of the photo is Instagram like with the 13mp. So people use the 10 because the picture measurements are correct.

That's an interesting upside. One of the more common benefits would be for storage purposes. It is a smaller file thanks to using a smaller resolution. That being noted, the obvious downside is that it is a smaller photo.
I would say that smaller resolution doesn't matter, as the megapixel myth still plagues people to this day. However, from what I have read, the 10MP on our G2 is... decent. But apparently the 13MP is where the magic happens.
The only difference is the 16:9 vs 4:3 aspect ratio. The 13mp setting takes advantage of the entire sensor, whereas the 10mp setting crops the top/bottom of the sensor. IMO, it's best to just shoot 13 with the wider field of view, and if needed you can crop after, to whatever aspect ratio you'd like.
I use 13mp. It's 4:3 and is closest to the 3:2 I'm used to and find more pleasing. Not to mention you get more vertical fov.

I basically was rushing to answer. But I meant exactly what you posted. The image ratio. Sorry for not being clear.

What are the disadvantages of lowering camera resolution (shooting at non native resolution)? For example from 16 MP to 8 MP.
The resolution and file size would obviously be smaller but would it reduce quality of photos as well? Would it be better if I taken photos at native resolution and then resize them with some software?

The file size will be smaller and the resolution will be smaller. You wouldn't notice any quality reduction at all. Why not just shoot at 16mp and crop it to your likings anyways? Thats a better option.

Indeed, unless there comes some pixel bind mod there is no real benefit apart from the smaller file size.
Although saying that I ain't that bothered anyway. Have my proper cameras for important pictures, phone is for make do snaps
Shouldn't taking/saving pics be faster when lower resolution is selected?
more megapixels means more details (but when you zoom)
if you want to see photos on phone or regular TV or laptop (without zoom) , there are no difference between 16 or 8 or even 6 megapixel
but if you want to zoom or see on a large screen (cinema!!!) you can see difference

This.... People with their questions.... As if they came from the moon.
I have a dumb question I don't think the stock camera has this option but is it possible to save pictures taken from the stock camera app in a smaller size?
I mean it's great and all that I have this 16mp shooter but if you're just snapping a quick reference pic to share with friends sometimes 5mp or less will do.
Cameras used to come with some selection of small medium and large or quality settings which is effectively a size reduction I don't see this option anymore.
It's not a huge deal but it does mean that I get into the habit of dropping the size before I send things with another image editor.

Well, the stock cam won't let you choose resolution as far as I know, but if you really wish to save a couple of MBs you can take photos in a different aspect ratio (16:9 or 1:1 which are cropped versions of the main 4:3 ratio).
Although, I must admit the solution posted above (Google cam) will definitely serve you better. Cheers!
