I got both... I think that Hyma camera takes better pictures. Is a software problem or the camera quality is better?
If is a software problem... what is a good camera software for the BA?
Thanx... M.
Everyone puts the crappy quality of HTC device's photos down to low quality lenses.
However, the preview in viewfinder mode looks excellent, but after the photo is taken the picture is rubbish, so obviously the lens and sensor are fine. Must be the software!
Welll, having used my O2 Orbit to take some pictures outside recently (for the first time) I can only say I am disappointed with the results. Every photo appears to be blurred and out of focus around the outer edge of the photo. Is this the best I can expect of the built in camera? Or am I driving it wrongly? As far as I know, the settings are default and I am set for the best resolution. Is this how they are, or do I have a faulty one?
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot.

The cameras on the Artemis are not brilliant, they should look ok on the phone, but on a PC they do usually end up blurry.
I'd say that it is normal, but you could play around with the settings to see if u can get a better pic. Sometimes the Multi-Shot setting is good for getting a non-blury picture, but it means you have to go through them all and choose the best one lol.
i have the same experience as u. i've been very dissapointed with the quallity of photos, even my 2 years old N6230i can make much more better pictures then this and after 5 months of using ORBIT i didn't find the way how to increase the quality. good luck
the only time i've had half decent photos, are in the middle of the day, outside, with the sun out (behind you) lol. The camera doesnt seem to like un-natural light (strip lights paticularly). Changing the settings only usually seems to change the Hue lol.
Its a mobile phone, not a digital camera.
People think that the megapixels mean its going to compare to a real camera but nothing could be further from the truth. The megapixles basically mean how big the image is. The quality is still down to the cmos sensor, lens type (in this case crappy plastic). Focus ability etc.
The artemis is a phone/PDA, not a camera. Infact no phone is a camera, they all have flaws.
Yep, not the best camera in my experience...
I assumed that like other phones you could still take pics at 2MP in L (640x480) to keep the file size down and still get a reasonable photo. Alas, the L (640x480) picture quality is so much poorer vs. the 2MP (1600x1200) so I'm guessing to get the best out your camera you need the 2MP mode in Super Fine.
I knew I was losing camera quality upgrading to the Orbit, but my decision was a calculated one. Yes, it's a shame the camera isn't the best, but I've gained so much more (that sounds so cheesy ).
When i compare a picture taken with the 2mp option and one taken with the 8 mp option there is no difference in quality. Both have the same amount of noice and look equally bad when i view them on the computer. Nothing like the sharp pictures shown in the Arc photo thread.
Is my Arc faulty? Can the photos taken with the 8mp option in reality be only 2mp?
Grateful for any help. Thanks
Can you post some pics here taken with your Arc?
I cant seem to differentiate between 12mp and the 16mp other than the ratio size. I cannot notice any drop in the quality when viewing the pictures normally and zoomed in from my phone or maybe I think my eyesight is pretty bad . Can someone help me over here?:fingers-crossed:
Megapixels doesnt influence the picture quality of a camera, its sensor does. megapixels determine the size of your picture so for eg you can have a 50 megapixel camera but if the sensor is bad you wont get a good picture and vice versa, which is the reason that older dslr and point and shoot camera's still out perform many modern day phones because they had big sensors specially the dslrs. until and unless you are going to print posters and heavily zoom and crop a picture 12, 16 or 20 megapixel is more than enough.
Many of the cheaper phones which claim to have 48 MP cameras use an interpolated solution to provide a 4x12 MP image. I can excuse companies to use this method on very cheap phones.
Samsung uses (Tetracell) technology from late 2018 to create a hardware computed 8x4 image while claiming to have a 32 MP camera, this clearly shows when zooming in to crop an image, the blur is real unlike my S8+ f.ex. which actually only has a 12 MP camera. I want to shoot 16:9 photos and these are strictly limited to 8 MP, 4:3H does produce 4x8 but it´s still nowhere near the quality of the S8+ 12 MP camera. I was naive to think that Samsung wouldn´t pull a trick like this on their customers, the shots at low light clearly show the limitations of the camera.
I called Samsung support in Denmark and explained the problem, the lady told me I could choose whatever picture size I wanted in any aspect ratio.... she told me to wait as she was going to find out how, she came back 5 minutes later and told me she couldn´t do it on her models ... of course not, I already knew that. I left her my email because she asked .... not going to do any good.
The pictures are nice for the most part ... just don´t zoom. My Umidigi F1 for 180 dollars takes overall worse pictures but the zooming is far better on pictures as the lines are straight without blur regardless of how much I zoom in, it does not have any low light capability however.
PS: HW sensors will report the cameras as 8 MP because they don´t understand the 4x8 technology. As it is I believe all third party camera apps will detect the same and be limited to 8 MP.
