Awful camera quality

Do you guys experience the same ? Pictures are not sharp, colors are mixed up.

only in darker rooms. outside with sun pictures are looking quite well.

Horrible quality.
As usual with HTC... always these "orange-pink blurry" images.
Nothing compared to the great Omnia 7 camera unfortunately.

Quality is indeed very bad:
Here's a picture taken with my Trophy:

You can cleary see the pink/orange circle in the middle.

I hope they put a better camera in this when it comes across the pond to the us. I don't care about mp I want better quality

Yeah camera quality is quite awful. subpar when outside and when inside it's just horrible.
On another note are any of you noticing the 'GSM radio' sounds on video files you've recorded with the device?

i was in quite cloudy conditions and photos still looked good. i think it's just night shots or dark places that it falls over.

Too much noise. They are OK for a low budget phone, but I don't think that the Trophy is low budget (at least I payed more than 200€!)
Thanks for sharing

I'am having the same issue, only outside with clear weather it makes nice pictures. Also the flashlight is horrible, if you try to make a picture of a person it will always look away from the camera

I'm thinking of getting a trophy but I'm really put off by this pinky orange circle issue - does everybody experience this? Is it a hardware issue or could it be fixed by a future update?
Cheers

I have the red colorisation in the centre of the image also, not too fussed as I never use the phone to take pictures I use my Canon D450, if its that important that you need to use the camera for images then you can fix them images in Lightroom.

I got my HTC 7 trophy (australian stock) and think the camera is outstanding. Definitely the best non-iPhone camera phone I've used. Don't understand what all the fuss is about, really.

I have one and the camera is like my old htc p3600 in outsides when I use the flash the quality of the photo is bad with too much noise and blur.
I hope it is a software poblem and MS correct that in a future version!

Example photos?

Hi Guys,
Had my Desire HD for 5 days.. thinking of selling it and buying a Nexus S!
Just wanted to see some examples of photos taken with the Camera?
I've no need for amazing photo quality but still want something reasonable to justify the hassle in switching.
Thanks in advance

I took this picture in a completely dark room: Click to see how well it turned out
Also when you check out that picture, I have a picture of a fluffy green android I took, that was in a relatively dark room. (It's the one taken after December 16th)

Thanks for the reply... link doesn't seem to be working though?

Awesome thanks ... works now i'm at home so must have been my work PC playing up.
Looks good, pretty sure i'm going to swap

* UPDATE *
I'm now a proud owner of a Nexus S .
Went into my local Carphone Warehouse and from the minute i held it i knew i would buy it!
In my opinion it's positives over the Desire HD are:
- Speaker clarity and volume is 10x better
- Handset feels like a perfect size and weight (Desire HD was very big and heavy)
- The Super AMOLED screen is amazing!
- The camera takes photos and videos that i'm more than happy with

Good luck mate, its definitely a better phone than the hd, but the hd is a better spec

Thanks.
Yea i agree the HD is a great phone but for me just not practical.
I found typing on the HD a real pain and made endless mistakes. With the Nexus S it's easy

Welcome.
I also think my NExus S is beautiful.

You know, after spending the last few days wading through trolls who came to this forums just to trash a phone they don't own, don't have any intention of buying, and never even held, it sure is refreshing to see a post from someone who acknowledges the shortcomings of this device and yet, is still satsified with it because it is, in their opinion, right for them.
Thank you for this thread, OP. Let no one else but you decide what is right for you.

Photo quality is really bad

Hy 4 all!
I have CM6.1 with Froyo on my Legend and I use the built-in camera app. My photos are always blurry and like so they were taken in a foggy, cloudy place. I have tried to increase the ISO, Deblur, decrease the lightness, increase the sharpness and etc... but nothing has helped. I think the LED flash is too strong. I dont know what more can I do. Has somebody else this problem? Is there a solution?
Thank you forwards!
Sent from my Legend using XDA App

Unfortunately, the camera sensor on Legend has it's limitation, if you do care the quality of photo you shot, you better carry a DC or a DSLR to solve this problem.

Yes, the flash is way to strong and built too close to the lens I think. The only thing this cam is good for is well lit day time shots. The flash will destroy any picture if used.
Sent from my Legend using XDA App

The flash is good as a flashliht though...I couldn't live without that...
I'm using Stock-like ROM with the original app and the quality is just bad too...

I don't find the Legend too bad, though I've never owned a really good camera so that might be why. I'm happy with the quality tbh, I used the app Vignette with the quality set to 'superfine'.

Well, yes, it can do a good picture while taking shot on a sunny day, although the shot is too light and unbalanced...Also the quality is good because of the resize - look at it in original an you will be surprised

Oh, come on, boys and girls.
What do you expect from a lens as big as a pinhead, a focal distance of maybe 4 mm and 5 mm sensor behind it?
It's good for a snapshot but you woulnd't want your wedding picture being taken with that.

Yeah, I use both Legend and Samsung Fascinate, the Fascinate's camera is much much much better, and flashlight mode is really good. I believe I can take wedding photos with my Fascinate. HTC's camera is never close to "good", always causes pink area on the photo.

Actually none of HTC's phone produce good quality pictures. NONE. I find the quality is acceptable for a phone. If you want the picture perfect quality then I don't think phones will cut it. It is good enough for my use though.

Comparison: camera quality

This is little test I've mad comparing photo quality of Optimus 2X, Xperia Arc, Incredible S/2, Desire S and Desire Z

I hope you like it and sorry for my english

ARC <3 I am loving it Thanks cisoprogressivo for this comparison

Just had my new Arc yesterday. I ever see promotion video clip about Arc, that show the camera can take picture even with no light and flash. I remember the video clip just like a people put the camera in a hole of a box contain a ball. And still can capture a ball picture.
But however I try... I still unable to make that happen with my new Arc.
Q1 : Is may Xmor R cencor (or some kind like that) broken?
Q2 : I don't have HDMI cable included in the box? Are U all too?
Thanks

Already find answer for Q 2. But still expercting someone can explain Q1.
GN Multimedia-Xperia Arc

Im sad to say but it looks like this whole Z5 camera is still a joke! and this comes from a z3c owner... look at these samples http://www.eprice.com.tw/mobile/talk/4523/4953454/1/rv/sony-xperia-z5-compact-review/ the note 5 out shoots the z5 almost in any shot and not to speak bout low light shots which z5 cant handle. so after this i just cancelled my preorder and might get something else or ill wait till next year because i aint buying samsung crap.

I 'm sorry to say that the Note 5 pictures qre way better. Did you look at the full resolution pictures or just the thumbnails? I don't like Samsung but I have to admit, adding OIS to their flagships this year was a smart move. Sony blew it again. That is unless they tweak the camera before the release.

I think all haters to see eye doctor and test their eye sight. Z5 photos are far better than taken with Z3 and are equally great compared to S6 or Note 5. If you think otherwise you should get an iPhone 6s

ummm the Z5 is the best camera on the market:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/09/30/dxomark-rates-xperia-z5-as-best-of-the-best-sits-atop-rankings/

They didnt test yet iphone 6s and note 5. Anyway for video recording, i think sony will be hard to beat. As for photos quality just hope it will be acceptable since i dont like protrude camera design.

iP6s camera is just bigger clone of iP6 camera with no significant improvements except 4k video. iP6 should be in top 5 but not #1
definitely not to beat Huawei's Nexus too for much better 12mpix snapper

Play store and sony keyboard got a new update.

Sounds good
