Several ads are claiming 0 shutter lag on the note 3, yet say it's the same camera as in the s4.
My s4 lags (like my s2 did). S3 strangley had no lag.
Can anyone confirm?
I've read a couple reports saying the s800 might be using a Samsung sensor and the exynos is probably using the same Sony sensor in gs4. Hasn't been proven but evidence has been given, just not confirmed yet.
Any lucky people got one now and can confirm?

So, if you take a single shot it's instantaneous, unlike the s4?
Good news if so, I guess they do use a different Sensor in the N3.

Have you played with an s4? Just wondering how it compares. I'm tempted by the note for a few reasons, the 32gb internal storage, the 3 gig ram, the s800, oh and the camera without lag
Might give my wife the s4 and get one

This S4 camera lag thing has been driving me insane for the longest time.
I've got both the Galaxy S4 and the Note 3 ( octa versions ) and can confirm that there is no lag on the Note 3 like with the S4 camera,( takes 2 to 5 to 8 seconds to load sometimes ) and yes strangely the S3 doesn't have any lag either.
the Note 3 is BLAZING, even with all of the Sammy bloatware on it. :good:
Wish my S4 camera could run like this.(am using Perseus kernel , seems to have made the cam snappier on the S4 , will update after more testing )
Cheers.
From what I read when the s4 (i9505) was launched, the lag is due to a hardware design, something to do with the sensor/shutter speed. I don't think software could fix this or surely samsung would have by now.

Don't know about the I9505 but with the I9500 it seems to be a memory management issue( wrt how long the camera app takes to load after you hit the icon). If I clear the ram before launching the camera it opens up almost instantly. ( but we digress )
Sent from my GT-I9500
Ahh I think we are talking about 2 different issues. The lag I refer to is when you hit the take picture button. It's out of sync with the 'click' sound. The image on your screen changes by the time the picture has been taken. I seem to still get the actual picture I took in the end but it really bugs. The S3 and note 3 don't do it, S1,S2&S4 all do. I don't know if the note 1&2 do it too.

I was using the nexus before swapping over to the note and I can vouch that the camera speed on the nexus is very fast. Now if only the note had this feature :laugh:
I have also had the opportunity to test out the camera on the S3 and the features are awesome.

So the problem is in CPU? BUT you allways can save picture in your RAM and then in ROM. as it saves Fast Burst Camera N7000 has 1000Mb of RAM you can take a lot of picture before it run out.
Wasnt Note released after the Gnex? Shouldnt the Note have had a zero shutter lag camera too..
Nexus was released November 17, 2011
The Galaxy Note was announced by Samsung during IFA 2011 in Berlin

This. I take my One X whenever I go to an amusement park or some event where I need to snap super quick pictures of my kids.
I find that my Note with JB Camera+ takes better quality pictures, but the One X beats it hands down for speed.
Anyone else noticed the camera shutter speed and focus issues since the JB update?
I use to be able to take fast, focused snaps. It takes seriously longer to get a good crisp shot.
Any pointers?

Although it doesnt help you. I actually found the camera to be much better in JB. Most of my shots previous would either not focus or blur and the only way I could get a decent shot was to use the Best Shot feature. Now it snaps well each time.
I hope we get the PhotoSphere in the 4.1.2 update that looks ace!
Camera is not worse. Its more grainy for videos thats what i noticed. But i prefer it that way. More noise and looks like blu-ray video. I can use deblock later if i wanna edit the file

Low light noise, no tap to snap picture, horrendous flash photos.
It's just not as good as the Galaxy S2+ I was going to sell.
The camera is the biggest disappointment for me as a one week N4 owner. I'm seriously considering selling the phone.
I tried the Moto X apk, which seemed to be a little better on the noise front, but I can't live with that aspect ratio. "Focal" was even worse than the stock camera.

Yea, I concur. I'm able to take great pictures with this phone. I'm not sure what the issue is. I mean I did come from the Evo 4G to this though, that phone had so many camera issues so I guess anything is better.
After reading around the subject, the only thing I've that gives me any hope is someone suggested using Snap Camera HDR app and fixing the ISO at 100. I'll be giving it a try in the hope of reducing noise in the pictures my N4 makes. Ta-ta, PmT

you dont have to tap the screen. long press the shoot button until its focused, then release. or in 4.3, you can hold down the down volume button then releae when focused.
btw some recent photos..
This phone sold for $200, of you want better camera you're going to have to shell out more money for other phones with better camera.
If you want less noise in low light shoot with iso 100. Or get n HTC One.

I just ordered a new Note 3 from Amazon and it was darned expensive.
I have a note I which I have used consistently for the last year and a half and I have used it daily. There are signs it might be wearing. I even have some small scratches on the screen. I expect to use the 3 the same way. I loved my 1 but thought I should upgrade before it falls apart.
The question is will I see a significant difference in the 1 and the 3? Is the 3 worth the price
I will appricate any thought you have on this subject
Wait until you get the note 3 use it for a few days and decide for yourself amazon is quite relaxed on returns

The battery life isn't much better than My N7100. However it's a 4g phone which up until now should have meant worse battery life than it's 3g counterpart. It's also a much faster processor and the screen has a much higher ppi and is significantly brighter. All these improvements and no sacrifices so far as battery life is concerned are pretty amazing to me.

it happens because your video recorder is set in 4k format you need to set a lower resolution and then the camera will allow you to use dual shot function
