When you say stock Google camera, do you mean the Motorola camera?

I don't know why I put Google there, I just meant to say stock camera app lol, thanks for the heads up.
Maybe the Google keyboard did it on its own. ?

Very nice! Can post any just point and shoot? I am on the fence with this phone. The only thing holding me back in the camera. Cameras have not been that good in past Moto phones.....
Thanks!

I definitely want ice cream now, good pics, thanks.
Looks pretty decent, although I'm more of a vanilla guy!
@ joshm.1219 What do you think of the camera compared to other phones you have owned? I recall you on the note II forums, does the camera perform much better all around?
everyone with a droid turbo, keep posting pictures, we want to see what you can do with those 20.7 megapixels!
Purchasing mine after work around 5pm est. My main focus right now is the camera since I'm pretty much impressed with everything about this phone when I messed around with store demo.
I'll post a whole bunch of shots and comparisons to my S5 around 8-9 est if all goes well. I did notice that reds were a bit over saturated in the samples I took at Verizon. Which was a big issue for me with my original Moto X.
This one is 21MP

Looks damn good, if people complain about that then they just need to use a DSLR.
Here is a couple from today....
Are these being alerted when uploaded? I assume they aren't 21MP files being uploaded to the forums
I think the problem is people have crazy expectations. Its a good camera but its never going to touch a dedicated camera with large sensors. I'm now switched to Google Camera because Moto one doesn't really seem to be much better.
These are using Moto camera still.
Low light shots I took while messing around with our prototype mini 3D printer this morning. Just quick snaps, no effort at all... Pretty impressive, although reds seem to be a little off -- oversaturated.

However, I do have a post with some serious concerns about the camera (link below) that I need to further test this weekend.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/major-camera-issues-t2923916
I'll try to post more pictures throughout the day.
It's definitely hit or miss.

Indoor low light shot:
Stock app, no HDR, 21MP, didn't adjust the focus/exposure.
Taken at Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis.
Sent from my XT1254 using XDA Free mobile app
I'd have to say with the physical limits of sensor and aperture size the output is pretty decent and not overly over processed. A raw output would still be nice though.

According to the websites, yes.
Thanks for the links Archius.
Seems that the camera is ok for snaps (I have been spoiled by the Carl Zeiss optics of the Nokia N Series) but then I guess the camera is not what you would buy this phone for!
Here are two of my photos I've taken.

What camera settings did you use?
Great pictures, much better then my HD2 HD2 performs awful in the darkness - overexposes every picture with the leds. So I won't miss the led except for flashlight purposes
at least we can see under low light xD
the normal light picture is not bad, much better than HTC's quality and everything seems clear enough for a phone cam.
but it doesn't capture the sunlight that well, it makes a "whitish" effect in the picture lol not sure how to describe. but it ruins the real colors.
holy crap. in decent lighting those stills looks pretty darn good for a phone.
and the video is REALLY impressive for a phone.
it appears that it doesnt do well in low light, but still... im impressed.

Thank you so much!
Hmm, if the camera is similar to that on my Omnia I then I’d recommend manually setting the ISO rather than leaving it on auto. Also, I’d be curious if manually focusing on a specific object would perhaps result in a sharper low light photo (my Omnia has problems auto focusing in low light/low contrast situations).
If you want me to take some specific shots I can try. I've been messing around with the settings i.e macro, iso etc.
I took this today on the Galaxy S, I didnt check the settings, its still all on default. It was taken freestanding so could probably be sharper, but was pretty much just point and shoot. Its not edited apart from the 50% reduction to make it viewable on here. Colours are as they were captured, and not bad for a camera phone.

Thanks a lot guys for the camera samples. I think we would all agree that the daylight photos and videos are excellent.
Could we please have some more samples of low-light photos and video?
Many thanks.

Blackberry Curve on the left

No flash in either case.
*edit*
It looks to be the camera application rather than the camera itself. Camera 360 (from market) gave me MUCH MUCH better images than the default Android camera.

My pictures usually come out sharp. That's weird..
Sent from my HTC Vision G2
This is zoomed in quite a bit.
It came out a lot better with flash, I'll put that one up next.

well, I've taken probably 20 indoor photos and they all look like crap. None of them are focused well, and all over motion blur.
Possibly a bad camera?

perhaps you need to adjust lighting effects and try holding the camera for steady?
Short of mounting the camera on a tripod I can't get much steadier.
I've toyed with lots of options also. Give me some pointers on what to try.

i will admit the g2 you have to hold really steady to take decent pics
Wow your pictures look kinda bad. Try to take some of other things and post back. Because my pictures look way better then those. Also are these zoomed pictures? there really is no need to zoom pictures because its digital zoom.

They are cropped portions of the full-sized images, zoomed in to be about 150% of the original size.
I'll put up some other photographs later this evening.
Odd, i've seen some 720p videos from a desire Z while someone is driving in a car and they look fine.
Well, I think I have gotten to the bottom of it.
I took two almost identical pictures, one with my phone and one with a Samsung Moment. Samsung Moment has significantly higher image quality, and the image size was about twice that of my G2.
My guess is that the G2 is applying a significantly higher level of image compression...
Took a few quick pics for comparison sake:
I could bust out the ol Incredible for comparison sake...
try pushing the cam button halfway to focus and set option to auto instead of infinity
I appreciate your response, but honestly, I DO know how the camera works.
I think mine might be defective. It's also extremely foggy in a lot of situations.
Here are some comparison shots from my Atrix compared to pics from my iPhone 4. Most of them are very different......
Some of these are in low light, but all are on default - automatic settings, and iPhone 4 has HDR turned off. Flash is on Auto on both also and it came on the exact same shots so there should be no difference there.
Feel free to post more comparisons. The Atrix shots are 1st and iPhone 4 2nd btw.

wow thats pretty bad...
u sure u did everything right lol
The iphone has a backlit sensor and I don't think the Atrix does... it simply has a better camera sensor so this is no surprised to me =\
the iphone does have a tendency to oversaturate its pictures though...
that's pretty bad :'(
engadget was lying then when they said that the camera was good enough to use it on a daily basis

Maybe its better outside and that's how they tested. I'll try it out today.
I'm no camera expert, but the Atrix camera is great (but not as good as the iPhone 4). It could be much greater if it fixed the lighting control issues. Too much light. Too much JPEG compression, too.
I've definitely gotten better results than the ones above, but the camera isn't as good as the iP4's. I don't generally factor the camera into my phone buying decision too much, but it's nice to be able to get a good shot. I've had an x10, iP4, Captivate and Inspire most recently. The x10 and iP4 had the best cams. I wouldn't go back to any of them because of it though.
btw, I like that table

It's also not as good as the Captivate, but it is by far not the worst.

Captivate
Atrix
These were 2 quick shots and I think the flash was reflecting heavily off of the guitar in the shot.
lol, and seeing them both blown up they both look like crap. My bad.
Same photo with the winmo htc tilt:
Outdoor pics.
Captivate
Atrix
Honestly, the atrix is probably closer to what your eyes see. Which isnt always as pretty as a camera picks up.
iPhone 4 tends to saturate the **** out of pictures especially inside. Those actually dont look all that bad.
Well one thing is for sure, There is a purplish hue in its pictures.
Even on the first page the Atrix photo's look more "real".
Iphone even the 3gs does SOOOO much processing to an image it's not really a reflection of the hardware... Iphone pictures look better because of MUCH better processing software.
My 3gs iphone can take nicer looking shots in CERTAIN cases then even a older canon 5 or 6mp dedicated camera.
I think the Atrix pictures are great... there is a bit of blue/purple hue but I think a better camera app would probably fix that.
As the topic suggests, what is the best photo you've managed to capture on your Galaxy S 2?!
Examples would be great.
I'm not proficient with photography by any means, but these came out pretty good for a phone camera. I'm starting to find the following:
1) Low light pictures don't look good at all, seems this camera really needs a good amount of light to put out decent looking pictures. But, many standalone point and shoot digital cams have issues with low light as well, so this isn't all that shocking.
2) Pictures taken with flash look really off colorwise sometimes. Many times, the pictures come out with a blueish purple hue.
3 pictures: Macro, close range, and medium to far away.

The last photo I crudely washed out the little girls hand out of the frame.
how in did you get so close to that cute lil creature?
I just put the phone within 12 inches of his face. He was very docile. I even had him sitting on my shoulder. Not sure if he was scared or what his problem was, but he let me hold & pet him without too much moving around.
What attracted me was we were in the back yard, and heard this noise that sounded like a dog, it was this little guy. I looked all over this small tree, didn't find a nest of any kind, no other squirrels any where. Street next to the tree...didn't see any road kill. Not sure if he fell out of a tree, was abandoned or what his problem was. Plan on checking tomorrow to see if he is still there...take some shots with my dSLR.
Cute little Pup.
If the sounds were like a high-pitched 'yelp' that is normally an indication or associated with a call to either a mother calling her Pup/Kitten or the same calling the Mother.
Good shots btw..... Clear and evenly lit. The latter one I would have maybe used flash but that would have more than likely scared the little guy away.

I think most people who were complaining about photo quality were, like me, doing so before the recent OTA firmware updates. When on KKA the focus didn't seem to work at all - since updating to LA4 the camera is focusing properly (in most cases) and I've got some great shots.
If you guys don't know about it, check out Pano - I've created some amazing panoramas with it.
