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.

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.

Does this happen often to you regardless of the light conditions?

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.

Its not too bad for the price. Quality comparable to my LG G5. If you feel that the photo quality is bad, give Google Camera mods a try.

Can you please upload original photos you have taken using RN8? Thank you!

same camera as note 7, use Gcam and rule the world

Mine took some good pics but it's way too early to say anything because I have this phone for like (only) 1 day.

Picture taken with Gcam

I've got some good decent photo in daylight, also in low light in close range

Photos are clearly better than iPhone 8 and Samsung note 8 due to huge sensor. Low light is also good. Video quality also alright but not as good as iPhone anyway due to lack of optical stabilization. The lens aperture at f/1.9 is restricting this phone a bit at night time shooting sometimes but Using latest GCam by wyroczen, pics can be stunning.

Very bad photo quality even with gcam (heavy wrong color). Don't buy this phone if you focus on camera quality

it has nice quality overall, it's obvious you have to use gcam, xiaomi's photo app sucks. Overall good looking pictures

Yes of course , I bought a mi a3 and I ain't know that it is based on pure Android so I sold it because I am mad of MIUI , then I bought a RN8 4,64 , but I unfortunately it was stolen after about 15 days , at last I bought RN8 PRO about 3 weeks ago ، so I have tested all of these 3 devices and my idea is RN8 PRO is the best , and it is better than Samsung A series (all models)

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

Generally very underwhelmed by the quality of the camera. Coming from a P20 Pro, the Nord photos seem softer, less detailed and the background blur far less accurate. They just aren't as nice to look at overall.

agree, waiting for a good gcam version with matching xml file to see if things improve enough, but first results are not looking that promising. To be fair, Pixel phones have spoiled me...

It doesn't seem like this is a hardware problem - the main sensor is very capable, but the software is really letting it down. Lets hope it improves with time.

I think this phone has a good "quality vs price" . the OP Nord is twice cheaper than Mi 9 T Pro , or P20 Pro on his launch.
It cannot be compared to them.

Why have a 48mp camera without zoom in. You then have to mess around with crop and zoom. Crappy oneplus software GCam the same

for me, nord pictures are terrible, coming from pixel 2 xl.
everything is boosted, contrast, highlights, and exposure.
they are pain in the eyes

Coming from op5t i'm impressed. Photo and video quallity, options and functionality are much better. With the gcam mod main camera photos are even better. Now if we want to be be fair we have to compare it's camera with the rest midrange devices of 2020 and from what i've read and watched Nord's camera is on top...
