Really? How do you rate the HD2 Quality overall from 1-5?
I love it, just the screen quality, size and contrast make my friends lust over the phone especially when I'm in picture mode.

I love the screen but the actual camera doesnt seem to do it justice, the old photos on my sd card, taken on my N95 on the other hand look fantastic on the HD2 screen

I also love the camera on this
After having BB's for so long I am quite happy to have a decent camera to take those on the fly pics...look at the quality you can actually see the bee in the middle of the pic!

I was waiting a long time to tee off, so I snapped a few shots on the 6th tee and stitched a little panorama here.

Haha.. join the conversation. Fantasytozi, you should try the change to the camera that I posted earlier in this thread. It will make your second picture look like your first and last. You take really good photography!

Various customed ROMS; tweaked camera registries
Photos taken at highland areas, approx > 1500m above mean sea level.
Already applied modded camera tweaks.

No change, Im a dumbass, I already had this enabled. I stand by my original statement.

Love have a camera that is useable in your pocket.

These are my thoughts about the camera.
As longs as there is a lot of light they are pretty good, but when you are forced to use the led flash or dont use it in low light I say the pictures arnt any good.
My old camera a sony ericsson k810i had a xenon flash. It could take awsome pictures in the dark.
What are your thoughts on low light fotography with the HD2? I would really like to tweak it so it improves.

Are they tips #16 and #56? I just checked and they already there in my current rom, Laurentius26. Maybe I will try to take some photos again

If I would rate I would say 3-3.5 it is a good cam for just shooting some nice pictures outdoor. Video quality is pretty good in my opinion to. Shooting in the dark if you keep it in your hands without moving you get good pictures (for example in a bar). But it quite difficult to keep it steady espescially when you have drinken some alcohol . But at daylight you can take good macro for example documents.
Overall I would say a good outdoor shooter. But that is not very special for the camera's at the moment.

Post a picture taken with your Focus!!

Ok, I went through the first 8 or 9 pages in the Focus section and never found a thread for this. So, I decided to make one. Pretty much every other phone I owned had a thread for this and it was fun to look at pictures people take to test out there camera.
In less than a full year I have went from an HTC PURE to a HTC MAGIC to a NEXUS ONE to a XPERIA X10 to a SAMSUNG GALAXY S CAPTIVATE and now to my lovely brand new SAMSUNG FOCUS....alot of phone switching I know. But im so happy with my Focus...I think WP7 is pretty damn awesome so far and its a great break from Android (which Im a little bored with).
One of the things I have been VERY impressed with in the Focus is the camera quality. So, hopefully we can keep this thread going and take pictures and post them for other people to see.
Ill start, I only have 1 pic to post for now, but Ill get more for sure. This shot was from work, just the first day after I got my phone so I was testing the camera.
Let the picture posting begin!!!

Nice pic man! what camera settings were you using for that?
ps. nice backyard to

I don't really remember exactly. I took a few and I was switching between macro and normal mode. I haven't had to change much in settings to get good pics on this phone. I have messed with macro, white balance most often. I have never used the antishake setting.
I think this camera is pretty good honestly.

My camera takes some great outdoor photos, but it seems to struggle with focus indoors. Anyone else notice that?

Speaking of indoor pictures:
Right before the start of Disney Princesses on Ice, taken with absolutely no skill or changes to any settings. Y'know, just to give an impression about what can be expected normally.

I have had issues with indoor focus a few times. I have also been able to get some really good indoor pictures. Unfortunately, I cannot share those pictures.
I will try to get some for this thread eventually. Here is another outdoor shot from my backyard. For this one, I used Macro mode.

Nice macro shot!
Anyone try playing with the sharpness yet? its medium by default, Ive taken a few pictures with it set to max and they seem nicer.

Here's a shot I took at the auto show a few weeks ago. No tweaks applied. Just pulled it out of my pocket and snapped.

As you can see, I had nothing else to do but take some pictures on the new phone. I rather enjoy it as my wall paper; its a friendly reminder to leave the house a bit earlier to avoid the traffic.
Note,
The when taking the picture, it also saved GPS info such as Altitude, latitude and longitude, nice touch.

Anti-shaking on, Wide Dynamic Range on, and sharpness set to high.

shooting with my own settings :3
im a hobbyist photographer

i'm wondering, perhaps you(or someone) could do a well set up test of the camera of the note 2? i'm curious about the performance as mine is yet to arrive.(eta 1 week)
test setup example:
a full size(detail) daylight, shimmer, shimmer with flash, night and night with flash, macro and distant would be nice to see a comparison of, and if you have one, a reference card (i.e. contrast and color range) ISO range test (noise) and is the white balance with flash alright?
all this information would be nice to have available (perhaps post results to wiki)

Anyone else notice pictures and videos coming out dark?

I can't see any pictures in this thread. Please post some again so i can see what this device is capable of.

Performance
Could you also comment on the performance of the camera in terms of shutter lag and speed of camera app launched from lock screen?

Here's a HDR mode shot
And a lil standard pic

Thanks for these, although they are downsized quite a bit from the fullres originals they look very good with sharpness and few if any visible artifacts common to cellphonecameras. Except for the second image which has a blown out sky and a bit strong contrast on the chrome parts.
Keep the pics coming, i wanna see more!
/ Magnus

A few more randoms from work i just snapped

Thanks for the photos guys, please post more...I can't wait to get stuck into my GN2!

Wow those are crisp and sharp! it seems to expose pretty well. This is exciting news!
I see some colornoise in some images, but it's not bad at all..
/ Magnus

More images please... I'll be posting a few as soon as I have the phone.

In the shade
In the sun

Looking good Twistedchild420, thanks.

Thanks guys^^^^^^
Here is a gem from earlier

seems like the Note II's cam firmware tend to overexpose and wash out the colours a bit by default.
unless u do some further tweaking in settings like what OP did, then u should be able to get good photos. I think a cam fw update is required to improve the image quality. I will judge again when there's more sample pictures (shot in default auto settings).

Not mine, but from Note 2.
Here you can find many Note 2 vs Galaxy S3 and some Note 2 photos.

taking better pics with the note 4.

I take ok pictures with the note 4. Im just wondering what everyone uses for a camera app, post processing or tecniques you use to get the great shots i see on here.
I use camera 360 and aviary for post processing. I see some really good night shots by people on here but i cant even come close to getting that with my phone...
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

I never used any camera apps aside from the stock camera.
i just use auto mode for shooting and it gives me amazing photos! i just turn hdr on if its a bit darker.

Please post some of your shots and tell us what you don't like about them.
Note 4's camera is a real fine piece of technology - except the usual lacks like no real manual mode, no "focus successful" indication.
So it must be the motif or your way of taking pictures. Just show us.

Galaxy S7 Comparison with Nikon D3300 DSLR Camera

Hi, I'm made comparison with S7 and Nikon D3300 DSLR Camera, both devices are set on Auto mod. The Galaxy S7 has proved to be very good in compression with DSLR.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HsKEu7po-M
If you have suggestion or some idea what would you want to see next write here! :highfive: :good:

Interesting comparison. I'm a photographer and shoot with a Nikon d7000. On my recent travels to Australia over the summer I found those moments when I had the camera in my backpack and I needed to take a quick snap my galaxy s7 was more than capable and has produced some excellent images for me so I'd agree with what you are saying in terms of a point and shoot the gs7 really comes up trumps
Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Good comparison video, I'd say in some shots the S7 looked better, the main places the NIKON won were zooming in on the images, the higher resolution really shows up there, but overall considering this is a phone vs a DSLR, it does pretty damn well

Thanks , Yeah S7 camera is very good. But DSLR have more settings in manual mode

Would be interested to see some manual mode comparisons too
Take the best quality shot possible with Nikon vs S7 in manual mode using all features each device has to offer, day and low light/night

dslr has also different lens dimension, no phone can be compared with such a camera

Funny, because it just has been, above ^^

wait for Canon fans, buddy
Looks you're using stock 18-55 lens, right? those ones are very dim. on my old D5100 I'm suing 18-70 and it's a whole world of difference. You know what? Should I make the same shoot-out with D5100 and S7 and send you the pics? PM me if interested.
But in general - I was really impressed with s7 pics quality. Hands down, the very best I ever saw from the phone and well suppressed my expectations.

Yea do the comparison, it'll be interesting to see, no need for PM just post them here
S7 is very impressive camera wise, obviously it's never going to beat a DSLR but the fact that people are making comparison videos says a lot about it's quality
