So I'm guessing its the device being slow but I wanted to see what everyone else had experienced and if there is a fix.
Basically I find the camera terrible. The only way to get a decent shot with less than perfect light is to use the stabilizer, which as many of you know slows down the pictures as it has to process the picture. This is VERY annoying to me. My iPhone 5s takes a much better shot and instantly without processing.
Has anyone found a fix for this be it prop settings or alternate camera apps?
I have to imagine there is a fix for this...
My last iPhone was the 5 (had the 4s before it). Apple sure has the whole "just works" thing down. That said, I REALLY like the Note 3 camera and the screen - I think it's better than the 5 - but in low light, the processing thing is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING. For a phone with this hardware, you'd think a 2 second "processing" bar would be a thing of the past.
Yea, so anyone find a fix? I want to take pics of my kid and don't have time to wait between pictures...

I am also interested - so "bump" --- I can't stand the "processing." I remember the 4.3 roms had a mention that prevented this. I wonder if the 4.4.2 roms will get it?

A Fix!
Hey guys I found a fix!
After poking around on my rom (Beans) I noticed they had the option for the CM 11 camera app so I grabbed it...
BOOM instantly better quality, speed, the works. :good:
So seems like the stock camera app was just terrible. CM got it right and now I'm really happy with the quality.
I compared both cameras and in almost ever case the note 3 was on par or even better than my 5s.
If you guys want some compare shots between both android cams and vs. iphone 5s let me know and i'll post some.
If you want the CM 11 camera I'm sure a little goggling will get you the APK. :laugh:
I'd also love to see what your experiences are and if you found the CM camera app to your liking.

I really miss a macro mode. I take a lot of close up detail photos for work. Now I use an eye loupe over the lens and it actually works better than before but.. you would have to carry it in your pocket...
On a side note I find the kit kat camera faster than the jellybean camera.

The CM11 camera has macro mode.
Can anyone provide a link to a legitimate download for the CM11 camera? I'm always a little worried of an apk from a Google search. Lol. Unless it is from a reputable website.

So I went on vacation last week to see Atlantis lift off and I took a billion pics with the Atrix.. So this thread is going to be sharing and caring and then also a large group of photos to help people get the general idea of the quaility it can take.
Some of the pics are inside and some are outside, some have flash and some don't. Several people were amazed that these were from a phone. Enjoy.

@op: Really nice pics. Shame some of them had the discoloration. Ah well. Allow me to contribute one of my own. This is probably my favorite picture I've taken with my Atrix. 4.1.83, rooted, using "HDR Camera +" by Almalence on default settings, available in the market.
Click it to see the full sized pic, it's worth it. This is from two weeks ago here one monsoon-y afternoon.

I had just figured out there was a zoom, like months after getting it..
The stock camera was okay, but there has been a substantial performance boost in gingerbread 2.3.4. I just wish they had placed the exposure setting on screen instead of in the menu settings, it makes a huge difference in photo quality.

Hate to be a party pooper but the atrix camera is crap compared to even a cheap point and shoot. It's great to use when you have nothing else but I would definitely be taking a real camera with me on vacation.

The video recording is pretty nice though.
Here are some pictures I took. Three were taken inside and one was taken outside.
I had a friend with a couple of birds and one was like the green one you have. He taught them to laugh with you, so it was awesome to go hang with a bird and just laugh..
I was really suprised at how awesome birds can be as pets.

The coding in the stock camera app seems to be a bit screwed up, it makes the camera tend not to focus well and seems a bit unclear most of the time. In that case use this:
https://market.android.com/details?id=vStudio.Android.Camera360&hl=en
If you have no interest in filters, there is an original version of every photo taken.
The one problem that may annoy you is the improper scaling. The photo's are worth it though, Here are some samples.

click on the pictures so it opens in a new window and then click "full" resolution!!!
Has a nice tilt-shift feature for enhancing depth.

Apparently non US customers got screwed over like me, as Amazon bought exclusive rights to sell the Ultimate version in their appstore. Can't find it in market anymore. And my Titanium restore from Desire doesn't work either...
I don't like paying for nothing that much, to be honest.

A lot of users paid for the Ultimate version and it is no surprise are far from happy in how the developer sold out to Amazon leaving it's paid supporters out in the cold.
For that reason they will not support the developer again, paid or free.
I just downloaded and installed camera 360 free version.
Works just fine....Ithink I'll still keep my Canon T2i however...lol

My camera works flawlessly.
After playing a bit with the Camera Settings may be I am getting somewhere Took it today:
I'm curious if anyone else noticed that the pictures after taken are not as bright as when seen through camera...
or am i the only one?
i downlaoded 360 for free as well. . .works great ..
camera is great in the day but i am finding it takes poor night pictures. .
Does this app scale (fill) the entire screen for everyone? I have a massive black border around it?

besides the Flash timing is not very accurate either on my unit.

Got it from their developer website. This is great.
Edit:
I tried: It is on Beta - not working at the moment as it ask you to download other version. Do not install the above app.

Hi, has anyone been able to install a working Google Photosphere camera? I really miss that feature, it's a must have for me! I tried to search around, but it only popped up in ROM threads, and I want to stay on TouchWiz due to the fact that I own the Gear.
Is that like Surround Shot mode? Pretty sweet.

I am attaching a possible HTC M8 screenshot (source: @evleaks), reported here. Let's hear some feedback. What do you like/dislike?
Personally, I like the onscreen navbar vice the capacitive ones on the M7. I do wish HTC would update their lockscreen icons (phone, messaging, etc), they look so outdated. I would like to see HTC provide more icon sets that can be used on the lockscreen.
Update 2/12/14: Numerous screenshots and device pics have been added. If anyone has new pics or info, please post them! Thanks everyone!
I personally prefer the capacitive buttons but I could live with onscreen buttons I guess. I don't really care how bland the UI looks, I'm hoping for some hardware goodness like improved speakers, battery life, camera, quality control, etc etc. If they nail the hardware they could just completely botch the software for all I care, that's what custom roms are for
I prefer on screen keys. You can customize them better, and makes immersive mode so much better too.

I totally agree. The more I look at that pic, the more I anticipate the M8.

Shows off the dual camera.
It will come with a twin-rear sensor camera. This will give the camera better focus and depth of field and image quality.

Thanks for the pics Santod! Being this close to a possible launch of the M8, I'm becoming more confident that we are indeed seeing photos of the M8 and UI. Also, anything that's posted by @evleaks I tend to have more confidence in, he's very, very good when it comes to HTC leaks. We shall see the truth before too long!
