The camera is not consistent, some pics look amazing mostly and other are very grainy and not sharp, look out of focus, regardless of the lighting conditions compare the pics to the ones taken on my S9+ and those are better than my Fold's. Can anyone share their experience with the camera?

I noticed the same thing, some pictures are out of focus for no reason.

I haven't used the camera often enough to say "often", I just walked around the house mid-day taking pictures to test the camera, and several of them were out of focus. I did some testing yesterday with "A Better Camera" and got perfect results.

for some reason, samsung's software is lowering the shutter speed, instead of increasing the ISO, so in turn, will usually result in a blurry photo...
there have been others that say using the Pro mode with everything on Auto is a better solution.
unfortunately, pro mode is not available on the front facing and wide angle cameras.
pretty disappointing performance on the cameras really.
£2k phone with that bad picture quality is unbelievable.
I hope they will solve this with next update as camera is useless in my opinion.

Good lord I hope that's with the telephoto lens
Quite impressed with low light performance. Took this at the weekend at the back on a dark cinema whilst waiting for the trailers to start. Auto mode, no flash, no editing.

Wow, that looks amazing. I just got the Note 8 too but I haven't had a chance to do low-light yet.
By far, the best camera I've ever owned.
Just need to find a big-ass spider so I can post some examples.

that's an awesome background/screensaver.
I'm aware that during low light the images will appear grainy or noisy, but I can see the grain even in medium light condition. Image is set at 4.3 ratio highest bit rate for pics.

How about wide color
So, what is the use of a wide color gamut capable display if the camera still shoots sRGB jpg?! I have not found any info on the color space profile of Note 8 jpegs and videos, can anyone chime in?

Now, this is by far not the best *quality* photos, but it does show off the functionality quite well. I took this photo of a room in my apartment with absolutely no lights on other than some light leaking into the hallway behind me from a neighboring room, and a pure red heat lamp for a tank (pictured). I went full manual, mounted the camera with some objects on a table, and set it to a 10 second shutter, thinking that I wouldn't be able to pull off holding it by hand. Then I held it by hand. These are the two photos I got (one braced on a table, one by hand) with a 10 second shutter in a DARK room (the braced one is zoomed in).
Here's a shot of that same room from out in the hallway where there's a little light (so you can see about how dark it is).
What happened to the scalable function between 0-100% when using photo filters like Vignette and Stardust etfc? Gone?

Mine to even in really good lighting, using highest resolution.
Few observations after a month of use:
Picture quality overall is great, however the stock app tends to overblow the highlights in high contrast scenes. This is the effect of the small sensor size and it's prominent on all cellphones, however both Pixel 2 and iPhone X I've tested don't have that issue. However, installing and using the Google camera port helps the issue dramatically, so it's the HDR algorithm employed in the stock app, not the actual sensor.
Stock camera app is, however, both faster and more reliable in terms of snapping every day photos. Furthermore stock app has marginally less noise than Google Camera, but it also captures marginally less details. Stock camera also has less saturation and sharper gradients than Google Camera, likely a product of the algorithm as well.
The telephoto camera is decidedly worse than the wide angle one, even in bright light. You're trading off the dynamic range for zoom, and it's not just the difference in the lenses.
Lightroom HDR raw files (40mb 3.2MP image that contains 10 bit of colour) are mind-blowing. As an owner of full-frame Canon 6D I was blown away by the colour retention in Lightroom Camera app. On a DSLR you'd absolutely have to use bracketing to get those colours (although you'd get a 20 MP image), it's very impressive that a cellphone can do that. If only it shot out a 12 MP raw file.
Overall Note 8 has a very versatile camera with awesome picture quality, but certain scenes require he use of Google Camera for HDR+ algorithm to get the best results.

Hey guys, none willing to share his impressions about the camera?
The details, contrast and sharpness are great in most situations (look at the train).
The color accuracy is very satisfying (look at the sunset).
But the camera struggles in situations with harsh light incidence. Look at the photo with the dog. Where the light through the trees hits the ground, it looks extremely unnatural and oversharped.
All the pictures are point-and-shoot without editing.

Interesting! I just got mine, I will try it and report back
The camera is the saving grace of this phone for me, you can point and click and generally get a pretty decent shot.
The only thing I've noticed it does seem to struggle with is hard sunshine where it can be hard to get the camera to recognise the darker points instead of dimming everything down. But I'm sure that's the same with most phones.
I've attached a quick bokeh snap I took yesterday.
Shot in Paris with moderate light.

Thanks. I added some more daylight pics and another night sight comparison. Some of those pics are 8 mp for some reason (I must have had a few and messed with the settings), but they still look awesome to me!
Took this while walking on bridge over Truckee river Reno, NV. Would've came out better if I focused haha.

While it's certainly not a perfect camera, for a phone, it's really easy to take great shots with this thing!

I can definitely answer this one. The moto camera app is very very bad. At least for the front camera, it destroys photos with noise and blur. It is in really bad shape and I got a significantly better results using Gcam. I felt the need to inform you guys about this. Mind the front camera, it's worse than g7 plus, it's worth saying it doesn't record in 4k. I'm very upset by this. And it seems it's hardware
Try the GCam! The pics are much much better than with the stock camera app

I would say the photography quality is very "meh." Pictures are quite grainy/noisy in all light settings when zoomed in. The front camera is especially noisy.

I agree that photo quality from rear cameras are below my expectations - dirt cheap Pixel 4 makes much better photos in all regards. But I quite satisfied with selfie camera quality though. My concusion - don't buy this phone for camera quality only.
Same here. Very disappointing camera quality. But, it is OK anyway. Overall phone quality can compensate.

install another camera app. the "open camera" app is add-free and you can adjust the quality of both pictures and video(4k30fps) way beyond the standard.
