It's very difficult to take any good pictures without them being blurry either. Clearly Sprint didn't see this or brushed it under the rug?
Try putting some tape over the lens and see if that helps.

It's noisy because like all lower end digital camera's it automatically adjusts the ISO rating depending on how much light is involved. The less light the more noise.
Have u tried focusing b4 taking th picture?

You can set the ISO in the options. Also, setting the brightness helps as well.

Isn't the manufacturer HTC and not Sprint? Anywho, with a low end sensor, it's expected to be noisy. And by low end I'm just comparing to Canon's, Nikon's and Sony's sensors. I think we're just a little spoiled by those ultra compact cameras and forget what the phones are really for. But in low-light, you're always going to have a lot of noise (i'm assuming they're low-light shots). All day-time, well-lit shots of mine are actually really nice.

BTW the Evo is using the same backlit sensor technology as the new iPhone. I think everyone is giving good advice in setting the ISO manually. Even my old 5mp dsl type camera performed poorly at higher ISO.

Hey Vandam500! Good to see another former iPhone (well, soon to be. Ordered an EVO last night) user from MR.
As for the EVO camera. I've seen some good pictures with it and some noisy ones. I think it's going to all depend on the light you take it in. It's a high megapixel camera with a small sensor.
It's not going to replace my DSLR or even my old PowerShot. It's a camera on a phone and I'm excited to use it.
Thats actually a produced sound comming from the speaker,you can turn it off in settings.

I reread the original post again since I forgot the exact wording. Nope we were right the first time.
Btw going to the link you posted about the sensor showed me the specs I was looking for.
Apple was touting their 5mp being better cuz of pixel size.
Well each pixel in the iphone is 1.75 microns while the ones in the EVO are 1.4 microns. A typical point and shoot is around 2 microns. So cell phone cameras aren't that far off from compacts. Of course a Nikkon D3 for example is 8.3 microns per pixel.
I'dont know if this is a issue but my g2 when using the camera in low light condition there is some frame drops.......
In the video mode no lag but in the camera mode lags a lot
Yes, it is a issue when there is few light...

So all you need to do is download snapcamera or camera fv-5 and enable camera api2 bcoz the stock camera not yet got the option to shoot RAW but the API2 is there.

Sorry to piss on your parade but its a base feature of the OS so all you have done is installed an app that can work with the API already in Android. Wake me up when Samsung enables it directly in their own camera app so we can make full use of the Hardware as intended and properly calibrated to the sensor.

I think you got some misunderstanding concept here. It is not a must bcoz Lollipop supports full(api2), limited(api2) and legacy mode(api1). Our 5.0.2 currently is running on limited without RAW function. Some other phones like Note4, Sony Z3 probably is still running with old driver mode.

There are examples where a third-party camera app produces much better quality than Samsung's own app. Like this, this and this on the Note 4.

What's the old adage? "The best camera is the one you have with you."
No one should expect DSLR quality photos from their smartphone (yet), but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy the new RAW capture abilities. Sometimes I'm out with friends or driving somewhere and I catch a nice sunset or a perfect cityscape shot. I wasn't out with the intent to shoot so I don't have my camera with me. Well guess what—I can still get a (potentially) nice shot now, because my phone can capture RAW images for me to tinker with later.

Of course not. It's foolish when smartphones are compared with DLSRs. Even my ancient Canon 300D with all of its 6 megapixels still performs better than my new Galaxy S6. But that's not the point. I will not always carrying that bulky DLSR with me but I always carry my phone.

Sure but who cares? DSLR is used to shoot somethings you prepared and planned for a long time while phone camera is for point and shoot purpose.
I don't see why they can't be both benefit by RAW. Why only DSLR is allow to shoot RAW? Because you think I want to transform my S6 to DSLR via RAW? Are you kidding me?

Do people know that photography is an art and people still use pinhole cameras to get shots and people still use an old dslr with 5 mp to sell work ?
However if you don't understand the passion in photography I can understand your point.

Also buy Donation App and turn off Auto night + night mode from settings, you will see performance difference on low light.Use normal mode and be sure you are taking photos with same settings on eaach phone (ISO, WB etc.)
Maybe your problem is scratched camera lens.
After I had noticed the bad camera quality and had changed the camera lens protector the camera had started to work normally.
+ If you use lower Android version, you can get Mi2Raw working, with allows you to do advanced photo editing using Photoshop.

I am not talking about normal photos. If you want quick edit use Snapseed . If you are playing with RAW files use Photoshop or Lightroom. Thats all. Instead of nervousness you could upload your camera samples, and it would be more clearlier what is wrong.
And yeah, don't buy it. Buy ant iPhone, because as I see, you have visited Xda without knowing, that this is developers page, and people try to get MAX OUT of they devices.
As I sayd, just try Xcam + Xcam setting. +Install advanced drivers, the camera will be as new.

He is wrong.108mp camera is just for up to x4 zoom.All above that is telephoto.Don't spread wrong informations.Yea sure sansung will put PERISCOPE camera of 48mp and than use main camera for over x10 focus what a genius ? The deal is that up to(from x1 to x5 is pure otpical zoom)10x is hybrid zoom it uses both periscope and main camera for above x10 times its only periscope without main camera.Al above 10 zoom is only periscope camera and its just croping not zoom.But keep in mind if you zoom x3 it will be only main camera croping you cant zoom less than 5x times wtih periscope.
Seems OK here on unlocked USA version.
Will be testing some more to see.
I didn't even reset settings/clear cache.
I'm glad I didn't get Exynos. Usually do for unlockable BL and custom roms but I'm over that now.
I still have older Exynos phones I can do that with.
And my personal numbers are on Verizon so there's that.
The new update made this camera worse! If they don't have this camera figured out soon, I'm getting rid of my Ultra.
For 4x - 9.9x, if you're focusing a relatively close object, it will use the main camera, but if you focus something far away, it will use the telephoto camera. At least, that's the behaviour I'm having (ATCT firmware / camera version 10.0.03.2).

Return it. Or import the snapdragon model. I haven't had those issues. Camera is almost perfect apart from some poor HDR processing at times.
Text has always been an issue with this phone.
It has a very narrow range of focus.
