As I'm about to order it, I wonder if SO has it, or have used it, because I have some questions about the quality - is it blurred or blackened around the corners of the pictures, is the zoom adjustable, or 10x fixed. If anyone has sample photos I'll be thankful - with and without.
I don't know if it's OK to post the link to the shop, so just pictures. You know it anyway...

Did you end up ordering it? I'm curious about your experiences with the lens.

I'm waiting for it to come. But the idea was that i could see if so used it. Not a single sample foto on the whole net...

I think this is a stupid accesory. Better to spend the money in a camera..........
Yeah. I can buy a phone for 20$, a laptop, dslr, video camera and a watch. Why do i need a smartphone with a stupid accessory, as i can have a trailer loaded with things tbat do almost the same...

I've bought one, I'll post some photos during the week =)
i bought one for my X1 a couple of years ago... it was garbage from day one. very impractical. the lens wiggled on the plastic phone case and so the build quality is just what you expect.
your $20 is better spent on a real point-&-shoot camera if you want the zoom capability.
any progress here? Just curious

DealExtreme usually get their hands on new products first. So if no one has bought it from DX, no one else have it.
here are pics using the lens [=
i got it after waiting 7 weeks for it to arrive from DX to usa.
its very nice probably more for outdoors which i havent tried yet but here are pictures with and without so you can see how it zooms in at 10x. the only downside is that you cant control the zoom its 10x fixed.
i zoomed in on the picture with the mushroom [=

Update:
YES. They fit. See my follow-up post below for two example shots.
Original:
I love taking photos. Which is why I'm so glad we all get to carry cameras in our pockets these days.
I stumbled across these things: http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/cell-phone-lenses/
They're extra lens attachments for smartphones, and they go on via an adhesive magnetic ring that sits around the phone lens. I'd love to give them a whirl but... the bump.
I'm not sure they'd actually stay on because of the camera bump. So, does anyone have them? Does anyone know if they'll work?
Just sent the seller an E-Mail, I'll let you know once I've got a reply.
If anything the rubberband lens will fit, that is an awesome idea!

Yeah that thing is cool, it just doesn't seem like the results would be on par. Still, maybe as a back-up plan!
Actually, I've had insane results with a DVD burner lens and my old SE W910 ... I could see this working pretty well.
But if you're using the words "on par" you probably have some needs for quality, while I'm just mucking around with it so don't really care as long as it's functional and looks cool.
That's a pretty cool hack, GriffinSauce. Wouldn't mind seeing the results!
For the rest of you that were curious, I found a cheaper seller on eBay (about $20 AUD) and took the plunge.
I'm pleased to announce that they fit.
First shots below.
I'm a little concerned that the stick on magnetic ring that holds the lenses on will come off in my pocket, but it came with three extras. We'll see how it goes.
Just bought this on eBay. Can't wait to use it !
Hi there!
yesterday i bought this wide angle/macro and fisheye camera lenses for my Galaxy N7000. The problem is that i can't focus anything with them
I tried with my galaxy s2 and it works perfectly
I'll be really glad if you guys can help me with some info
Cheers:good:
:c
I have used the fisheye, wide angle and macro lens, the one with wide angle and macro screwing into one lens.
They focus pefrectly well on the note for me.

Fisheye:
The lens:
I also got a fisheye lens for a few bucks from ebay and at first couldn't focus. I figured out that the problem comes from the magnetic attachment that distorts the focusing mechanism. It helped for me to use two of those metal rings between the phone and the lens to make the magnetic force on the phone smaller. Do you understand what I mean? otherwise i can maybe take a pic...
OMG Thank you! I had the same problem. This helped a whole lot! Thank you very much!

After I saw this post I went to ebay and took a look, not expensive at all.
Just search on ebay for: Fisheye galaxy note.
i have the same problem
i have the same problem with my S2, and it seems that using two rings helps, but since they're both the same polarity, i can't align it.
weird thing this is only happening to few of us.
i'm not sure if it's the magnet, because i think the autofocus works with light, don't know what the magnet can do about that.
:silly:
Yep. I had the same problem on my Epic II 4G Touch. An extra ring solved my problem, too. Been using these cheap fisheye lenses for a long time now. They are addictive! Jelly lenses are very useful, too. Their wide-angle/fisheye lens makes the ring around the photo a bright green. Very cool.

Not sure if this has been posted, but our Galaxy Nexus sits on the same pantheon as the acclaimed Leica M9, Canon 1dx, 5d3 and Nikon d800 cameras.

Strange since everyone complains about the camera.
I don't complain about the camera, bests my old Thunderbolt's 8MP shooter.

not me, im constantly trying to show people that its an awesome camera. people just dont know how to use it. they expect the camera to do all the work for them, but it only does what you tell it to do. plus its really important to keep that back lens cover smudge free.

As per the above poster, I also love the GNex camera. It takes some getting used to but it takes better pictures than pretty much any other camera on a phone I have ever seen.

Very nice pics. I personally don't have an opinion, my eyes are not the best, and I've never had a good eye for capturing photography myself. I just use the camera casually and it works fine for me. What I meant was the general consensus on the camera is that it is poor, that is what the websites and reviews and even users all complain about. It may just be a common misconception, but it's widely the accepted view, accurate or not.
Not better than my SGN. I am still pleased i didnt go for gnex and opted a note last year.

TIPA didn't evaluate image quality only, but the whole pack of good screen, zero-lag shutter, 1080p recording and some other goodies.
TIPA meeting was on 24th March 2012, so it's understandable why they choose Galaxy Nexus.
All I can say about the camera is, its the only camera that can take colour accurate images of my coral reef aquarium. I've tried several cameras and other phones and its way off. Mind you I've learned the best settings for that application is simply changing it to cloudy.

Looking for a Hand held Gimbal that I can use both my phone and GoPro on. The cheaper the better but I understand I don't have many options. Any Ideas?
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
You might want to explain what a gimbal is or why you need it and in what context you'll be using it. you mention gopro so potentially, it would be in a rugged environment or sports.
Just saying, if you want responses, clarify.
Yep, Also never heard of it...

fancy word for selfie stick
I use a ikan FLY-X3 PLUS, It works great as long as you don't have lots of wind hitting the phone. Its better with my S7 or GoPro.

Gimbals are definitely not just selfie sticks. They're for producing cinematic quality video and are quite effective when used correctly. I've got a DJI Osmo Mobile that i was using with my S7 but I havent had a chance to try out the S8+ on it yet. I'm going to guess that it'll be pushing the limits on the motors for it though.
Anyway... just set it up for the S8+... Looks like it'll work alright but no way your gonna get it to work inside a case and you've basically got to adjust the thing to the limits of the device. I'm sure the weight and size will put stress on the motors and use more battery than normal, but it does work.
Sorry for the sideways pic:

I think i found one that works.

Saw this on YT, nice side-by-side comparison of 2 gimbals, plus he has OIS on and off with each one. That's where I found out what gimbals are (as far as smartphones are concerned).

Zhiyun smooth Q, cheaper than osmo and can function comparable to it.
Have been taking night time pics of the same objects, this one was taken using Note 10+ and the same pics by OP6 and S10e are left far in the dust behind. The steeple here is being illuminated, the bottom part only catches some light from the street but the monument in front is totally shaded by a large tree.
Huge improvement but it takes a long time for the camera to process. It won't be easy getting night time pictures of moving objects like friends at the club or on the street.
The picture looks amazing

It's nothing major, I was just messing with the camera. Tinkering around. But I liked it for some odd reason.

it's really something to have a phone camera capable of doing all this stuff and still, the race for the best camera/phone continues, who knows what they gonna come up with next and then after that etc...etc
Some "live focus" studies, these pics are heavily downsized here - the originals are about 18MB each. I should use the last pic with some superimposed text as my personal greetings card for the holidays:
