Could anybody post some photos & videos with the new Pro 2?, at maximum resolution and quality settings.
Any difference in taking the photo WITHOUT battery cover? (is there a plastic o crystal cover over the lens?)
nevermind. my bad
I THINK 11 was at superfine and 10 was at fine detail for pictures
These photos could have been taken with my kaiser.... I think that the camera module is EXACTLY the same...
There is no plastic over the lens. It is literally just a hole in the back cover - which concerns me as not only is it now more delicate, but also means the back cover gets infested with dust!

Hello everyone,
I have tried numerous of ROMs with or w/o sense , 2.1, 2.2 and nothing helps. On default settings my HTC Desire's camera really sux. Always blurry, with washed up colours. See attachments for picture examples. Every picture is bad, not just the ones I posted.
Images IMG_20100917_110516.jpg and 2010-09-17 12.46.51.jpg are for comparison. First is taken by my phone and the second one by my brother's i7500
Problem is the Battery Cover

I noticed this problem too, and it didn't make sense considering it should be a pretty good camera. I have done some research, and found a few places which attribute the blurriness/cloudiness to scratches on the plastic in the battery cover.
Check out these:Battery Cover Differences in Picture Quality.
I have tested it myself, and it really seems to be the majority of the problem. However, I have not seen a decent solution. Simply removing the plastic cover sounds like looking for scratches directly on the lens, and I have not found any commercially available battery covers with glass camera covers.
Supposedly, you can clean the plastic with toothpaste.
Any ideas on how to improve our camera?
remove plastic from Cover
hi,
same like me. i removed the plastic lense from cover. Now autofocus is faster, and it makes good pictures.
HTC Phones have never taken good or even mediocre pictures anyway.
Sony Ericsson has always been King in the camera dept.
Anyone else have this problem with the front camera on their Epic?
The front camera on my Epic appears to have some kind of dirt underneath the glass. It looks like some kind of white lint or haze or dust or something has gotten underneath the screen/glass and in front of the front camera. If I turn the front camera on, it looks like I'm looking through a thick fog. If I look at the front of my Epic, the front camera lens shows up as a little white dot.
I can't see any possible way of cleaning short of taking the darn thing apart.
My dilemma is that I don't use the front camera, so I don't want to go through the trouble of un-rooting my phone to take it into Sprint for a replacement (I heard they won't honor any warranty work if your phone is rooted/rom-ed). But on the other hand, maybe I'll need the front camera at some point in the future.
Any similar experiences, suggestions, remedies would be appreciated.
I think its just cause its a ****ty camera.. really though I've only used it like twice
Cd's or tapes?
The front-facing camera on other Epics are noticeably better than my own, and I can see dust/dirt/something on my front camera that is conspicuously absent on others.
Edit: there are a few youtube videos showing complete disassembly. I hate video guides, so I had ignored them previously, but they do a good job showing the details.
Only slightly improved pictures after cleaning, but worth it. It does take considerably effort and much worry to disassemble. I also did not disconnect everything the videos show (like the ribbon cables - too risky for me).
Used the more or less well known http://www.dealextreme.com/p/univer...ent-for-digital-cameras-and-cell-phones-14953
Samples (the shots are in macro focus mode, as close as i could get it to focus with that lighting)
1st one: with macro lens
2nd one: stock sgs2 lens
3rd one: with wide fov lens
Tiny review:
- easy to install and remove (its magnetic) and has lens protection stuff to carry the lens with you
- the macro is pretty good, the wide angle has more fish eye that it should for that angle, and you can see the black edges, but it does the job
- both have slightly blurry edges (but not nearly as blurry as ive seen in other reviews)
- cheap ($16)
- macro is where its the most helpful as you can now take pictures of tiny insects and the like, much closer than stock ever could. movies of tiny spiders are fun ;-)
Hi,
I'm interested in getting this.
Thanks for the review.
Hopefully fits mine I had the 2000mAH battery, so the casing changed.
Watch out, SGS2 has a wide angle lens and vignettes with many such lenses. Me got a fisheye from USBfever. No vignetting in movie mode though, seems to have less wide angle in movie mode.

Get it. I have the 2000mah battery and the batter cover has no impact on the use of this lens. The metal ring just sticks onto the camera area (the rectangle region). Use of other cases would not affect it either.
Just ordered one. It's got to be worth a risk at only £6.80 ($10.37) & free shipping.
If I remember I'll report back once I've got it.

More specifically, the still cam of the SGS2 looks like a 20mm lens on an APS-C crop frame DSLR (Nikon D90 for example), and the movie like a 35mm lens.
In traditional full-frame equivalents that'd be 30mm (wide-angle) and 50mm (normal), respectively.

when you say the metal ring sticks to the camera area, does it mean 1 side of the ring is adhesive? does it leave any residue when removing? covers the flash?
shot this VIDEO with stock sgs2 camera
Why is it mostly out of focus? Can't the SGS 2 focus that close or does it take a while to autofocus?
hi guys! im noticed the camera takes horrible photos resolution!!!! i was disney today and i cant take anyphotos because all of them was taken blurry and low resolution. but with the front camera the photos seems good resolution and more clearly.. is very annoying... anybody has the same problem???
i try with all setting and nothing change and the resolution settin is on max (8Megapixels)
Try these two things, clean the lens & either turn in or turn off the anri-shake. I was getting all kinds of lens flares and didn't even realize the lens was covered in my finger oils. Turning the anti shake was bad but after I turned it off then back in the pictures seem to have gotten better. BTW this phone has one if the worse possible placements of a flash and lens. I've had the flash reflect off my finger and it messes with the photo. GL hope your problem was like mine.

Mine was a bit blurry as well and then as I looked more closely at the rear lens I found that the guy who installed my Screen protector on the front also installed a protector on the rear as well and it covered the rear lens. Upon taking that screen protector off the rear lens the pictures were very clear and had no blur on them. I had wondered why at first the pictures were clear and then turned blurry after.

pic from front camera
the back camera is completely ruined after multiple drops
anything i can do to fix this ? the lens doesn't seem to be scratched or nothing, still not sure why the blurry out of focus pics.
any advice will be appreciated,
Well I guess you can try to find a back camera module & replace it which will cost you 20$+ (last time I checked) or buy SLR... If you go for camera module make sure it's same Omnivision sensor as original before making purchases. Replacement isn't rocket science as Xiaomi used clips & almost none glue.
Best regards.
