Poor Camera?

Since the search function is working, wasn't sure if there are any other threads about this.
I came from the s2(et4g) which had an amazing camera. Anyone else find the camera quality on still photos kinda poor on this phone?? I know video is awesome, especially with the video bitrate hack, but still photos do not come out to good. Front or rear camera. Post your findings. Hopefully its just software related

Mine have been pretty stellar.

I am not impressed at all with the camera, the one X is taking better pic imo
A little bummed out about that

the camera on mine is just terrible. Backlit CMOS sensor my a$$.

The camera is better than the s2 but does not compare to the htc one s/x.

I'm coming from a GNex and the quality on the GS3 is amazing compared to the GNex, and much better than the GS2, IMO. Probably a dumb question, but have you made sure there aren't any smudges or anything like that on the camera lenses? I know of mine gets a little finger print or a smudge the quality goes to balls until I clean it up.

Even the htc amaze takes better pics than the s2. Just saying.

My sgs3 is taking much better pix than my sgs2 and HTC evo I played with. HTC has too much noise even in bright condition. And did a comparison picture with both and mine was no noise, and sharp. HTC was opposite. I have firmware zd

Galaxy Note 3 - Low Light Camera Noise

Hi All,
I just purchased SGNote3 N9005 yesterday. The battery performance is decent, S800 is blazing fast and I really enjoy my new GNote.
Unfortunately, the performance of the camera is sub-par compared to S4 (in overall), especially in low light condition.
Attached is the samples of the photo taken under low light condition, red spots (tint?) are seen on the screen as well as on the picture taken.
Could anyone confirm and reproduce this bug?, if not I'm looking for 1 to 1 replacement...
Is this going to be another HTC One Camera bug?

this is scary bad....... any fix for u?

This might sound stupid, but did you remove the plastic protective film on the lens of the camera? I asked this bcos I didn't know there was one and the camera was behaving rather strange, sometimes wouldn't even focus when put close for micro shot...And after I found out and remove the film, problem solved

The pictures are poor. You're gonna have some good, some bad, but overall the camera is poor. Especially when zooming at all.
The camera app itself is snappy and it'll focus fast, but this ultra pixel with 4mp just isn't gonna get it. There is 2 year old technology cranking out better, more consistent pictures.

Ive seen a couple short hands on reviews that say the M8 pics are no better than the M7. The only thing the M8 has going for it in the camera department is speed and that new refocusing feature....which one reviewer said doesnt really work that well. Hmmm

Yeah, um, those Flickr photos look more than acceptable for me. I don't need the best camera if I'm getting the best screen, audio quality, and experience that the M8 will surely offer as the M7 did. The camera is literally secondary (or, well, further than that) than all of those areas and, even then, it's not really bad at all.

NOT ENOUGH MEGAPIXELS.

In all seriousness, when it comes down to cutting costs on a smartphone design, camera would be the first thing on my list too. Would you rather it be made of cheap plastic, not have front facing speakers or have a smaller battery?
I'd take superior hardware/build over a great camera any day. I know we want it all, but it seems like we just can't have it all. At least not til the M9.

IMAG0065 that night time pic...looks really really really bad. but for the most part its not bad. Matter of fact all the night time ones are really bad towards the end .

In complete and utter seriousness guys (not being a fanboy either) I was MORE than pleased with the camera on the M7. That was my primary concern that I debated over for months before getting the M7 - giving up my iPhone 5 which took awesome pics was a difficult choice. Hands down, I'm more than excited to get back to Android (had to go back to my iPhone 5 due to selling my M7). The true wide angle 16:9 is so awesome and the pics were great. Overall, I felt like I was able to regularly capture more accurate color representations with the M7. Low light was pretty great too.
I will say, there were a few times where I was left wishing I could crop to a larger size and retain image quality. However, for me personally, it wasn't a big enough issue for me to ditch the phone, as I don't need to do that often enough. If you're someone who is perpetually cropping, this probably isn't going to work for you.
Also, I used to have an album of pics I took on my phone to show people when they'd play with it. I received soooo many compliments on the pics I took and more people saying "This phone has such an amazing camera" never knowing it was only 1/2 the MP's as their phones.
I understand and agree with the major drawbacks of it, however, as an overall quick shooter to the ability to take your time and change settings to get an optimal pic, it blew me away quite a few times. That's more than I could ever say about my iPhone.
Addition: there was a thread I saw with M7 vs. M8 photos and the colors looked quite a bit better and more crisp on the M8. I'm excited to see what I can do with it.

although the MP is disappointing, the strengths of the phone outweigh a blunder such as that I think. It's not like the camera is crap, it's just average for current times. We just had higher expectations as we should have especially compared to last year's. I would say the camera is "adequate"

Time to say goodbye and look to the Galaxy K Zoom

As one of the first to own one of these cameras on launch day, I have been pretty much promoting it everywhere and certainly contributed a lot in these and other similar forums. But as time has passed it's evident that Samsung has no love for this first edition as they have failed to keep it updated. Even the second edition offers little improvement, just a slight memory increase and minor CPU increase,it still runs Jelly Bean. It's a real shame as these two had so much potential.
The Galaxy Camera takes superb photo's but the interface lags and the start up is slow and it lacks so much that Kit-Kat could fix. Then there's the various scene modes found on the Galaxy S4 and S5 that aren't available on this capable camera.
So.. I recently played around with a Galaxy S4 Zoom and apart from only having 10x zoom rather than 21x and slightly smaller screen the whole experience seemed better. Which prompted me to look at the upcoming GALAXY K ZOOM. Released this week in the UK sporting a 20.7MP camera, better connectivity, double the ram, faster processor, much better battery life, Xenon and LED flash, NFC, many more scene choices, Android 4.4.2 and a lot more specs too many to mention... all in a lighter smaller chassis, and all for £360 (and includes a case thrown in for pre-orders worth £20) means I am done with the Galaxy Camera and today I have ordered the K Zoom.
I hope things for you guys improve, but I wouldn't be holding my breath sadly.
So, farewell Galaxy Camera forum, it's been nice knowing you.

I want to order a Galaxy K Zoom to try in the US but I'm not able to buy one because they won't ship to US. You'll have to let us know how it is.

It is, but I need a pocketable camera that can also make and receive phone calls and is much more likely to be updated by Samsung. The original camera was once snappy but it just failed to be updated making it sluggish and buggy. The pictures I have seen taken from the K Zoom are just as impressive as my GC1

So, I got the Galaxy K Zoom yesterday and my first impressions are WOW! It has far exceeded my expectations in many ways.
The build quality is really good, it feels solid and it looks really nice (I have the black one). I thought the screen might be sub standard being only 720p but it really is sharp and bright and although super AMOLED the colours are not saturated at all. They have got the balance right in my opinion and the size is right too. It doesn't feel particularly bulky or heavy and the casing is grippy.
I didn't have a lot of time but I did a quick comparison test with photographs taken from it in the same spot with my Galaxy S4 Zoom and the Galaxy Camera. I have to say the shots on the K Zoom at 10x optical were on a par with the Galaxy Camera and better than the S4 Zoom. I also tried 20x zoom that's 10 optical +10x digital and the results were far better than I expected, actually they were great. Low light level shots came out better than the Galaxy Camera as did the video recording.
There are tons of scene modes and not forgetting the excellent AF/AE mode – This lets you choose separate parts of the picture to act as exposure metering and focus points. The only thing missing oddly enough is the tilt shift (or selective focus) as seen on the S5, I am not sure why that wasn't included. I also thought there was mean't to be an LED flash in addition to the Xenon, for video use but that's missing and there's no notification LED. But no great loss.
But overall, it a massive improvement over the S4 Zoom and it's definitely good enough to replace the Galaxy Camera. It's pocketable, has full mobile phone function, better screen, battery life, interface and Android Kit-Kat on board. Missing only a tripod mount (I bought a JOBY grip tight to solve this) and that extra 10x zoom.
I have only been using it for a day but I am bowled over. I have no regrets replacing the Galaxy Camera with this baby.

Photos? Of the phone/camera and from the camera?

Fore 21x optical zoom to 10x seems like a poor trade off for enhanced features else where. Anyways I'm glad most of the market share your opinion because it enabled me to pick up the galaxy camera 2 for 200 bucks cheaper!

Note3 cam is very unrealistic its acceptable only under strong sunlight ... It has a very bad dynamic range too.. With a very high contrast ratio. Not to mention rediculous low light images even with flash on the images are so grainy and the least movement makes it blurry.
I have s4 zoom too .. But stupidity I blowed air into the cam to remove dust it sadly stucked in between the lens and makes visible gray dots all over the image not to mention how laggy it becomes after installing viber facebook twitter and whatsapp
Am ready to swap with the Kzoom when its released in my country.

I bought my K Zoom today in Hong Kong.. this thing is amazing. I would say NEXT version Samsung will nail it and make it perfect.. but this is a huge improvement over all the previous variants of Samsung's camera/phone combined.. can't compare. The only thing this needs to be perfect in my opinion, aside from snappier processing because this "6 core thing" is all hype and few punch, is a smaller zoom because 10x is not necessary and too bulky, and a larger sensor.. from the few snapshots I've taken today low light performance is still just soso. But I must say under good lighting conditions the image quality is fantastic and the optical quality of the zoom lens itself is extremely good. I will try to upload some photos later or tomorrow.. And needless to say I am eager for recovery and root as this has some serious limitations till then and endless bloatware that needs out..

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

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.
