Does the epic suck om low light situations? I take pictures with my nexus s and they seem to be better than the epic camera and they are both using stock camera and the flash for these pics. check out the screens below. Why does the epic color seem all washed out and darker while the nexus is the actual colors? thanks! Is this just how the camera is or can I have a faulty device? I do have a case on both devices.
Nexus S

EPIC
I cannot see your pictures. Please re-post. I'm so interested in any camera related topics because I love camera and it was my hobby - talking pictures - for past 20+ years.
Update - now I can see one pic but not able to compare between nesus and epic.
Now I see two broken picture links. No pictures yet.
To properly comment on your pictures and functions between nexus and epic, can you provide the full settings of camera?
Specially ISO, focusing mode, white balance, exposure, metering, etc....
EPic is 8M pixel and nexus is 5M pixel. So, generally speaking, epic pic should be more clear. But regarding the pictures, which one is darker, it can be different based on the light reflection and brightness of the scene when you take the pictues.
update - now I see both pictures.
the epic picture has incoming light from the window. That's the reason why the picture is darker than nexus one.

Does anyone else notice a degradation in picture quality after rooting and putting custom roms on? I remember when I was unroot when I first bought my evo and I thought the camera was great, but lately it's completely washed out by light and can't take a picture without blurring even in good daylight.
I've tried it on 3 different roms, flipz, damage, and nonsense. All fairly similar with being washed out.
Any reasoning or is this known? It's starting to bug me.
I've been on Fresh's ROMs for about a week now, first 0.3 and now 0.5. I haven't noticed a change, but then again I don't use the camera much. I never had really high expectations for the camera anyway since it's just a phone, but I have to admit that it's much better than I expected.

Hey, I have a Hero. I noticed the same thing until I cleaned the camera lens with alcohol and a q-tip. Picture quality improved greatly.

I have a feeling my camera lens shield may be throwing it off.I'm going to clean and remove it to see if that helps

Turns out it was the shield for the camera lens that turned it to crap. I took it off and wiped the lens and its 20x better.
i dont know why they got resized so small. you might not be able to tell at this size but the top one is much clearer

More information
good concept if a bit ugly. The sample photos dont exactly sell it for me. Looks like your heavily sacrificing quality for range
You can get vignetting effect without using vignette
What if phone rings when using this?
Nice thought, but the photo quality looks bad.
I rather have a good quality picture than this type of photo (personnel opinion). But who knows, people might still buy them
You could just crop the picture and have the same image quality.

While in theory it's entirely possible to strap a zoom lens to a camera phone and get good results (i've seen some for iphone that work pretty well), i dont think this product achieves that.
If the photos on your adverts and website (supposedly taken by people familiar with the product and under ideal conditions) look blurry, dark and misaligned then what hope have the rest of us got. Seriously, those pictures look like they've been taken with one of those apps that degrade the image to look like a picture taken with a knackered old polaroid ffs.

I just got my one x and I have to say the camera is most disappointing, it sucks it's basically unusable. I haven't upgraded my phone for ages the last one I had was the omnia 2, and I would say that one had a simillar camera, just with less useless features.
I don't own another good phone camera so I can't compare but from experience in apple stores, even the iPhone 4 camera is much better. The camera doesn try to focus when you press the shutter you don't even notice when was the image captured its like capturing screenshots from a live video feed instead of a real camera. The colors are oversaturated but if you turn it down a knotch it's undersaturated. 8mp sensor is pointless, the results almost never get better past 1mp. White balance sucks it often gets a purple tint. The live display is also terribly delayed unlike the iPhone 4s. The noise level gets crazy at times, reminds me of the ipad2 camera.
I don't know maybe I'm getting too used to my mirroless camera. I still love this phone though, even if it has no camera.

Please use one of the existing threads about the camera quality, we have already enough of them.
Closed.
Hey guys was pulling an all nighter for school, and decided to take some pictures of the sunrise. The image quality that came out was so grainy, its very disappointing. Has anyone experienced this and if so what are the possible solutions. I was reading about some people with similar issues and they recommended a market app but the app doesn't support 8mp. Some people are saying its the iso exposure but I'm camera illiterate when it comes to that stuff. I'm posting one of the pics and this was one of the better ones out of 10 taken.

Why not post this in the camera pictures thread? You'd get great feedback there.

Because last time I did something like that i got moved to Q and A because it was a question lol.
Fair enough, hope someone helps you out. I don't do much scenery photos but I've taken a couple and they don't come out too bad. I'm assuming you have all things stock in the settings? Didn't try and get fancy? Also case or no case?
I'm not a camera expert, but that looks like a low light setting to me - the lower the lighting, the grainier you get. At least that's always been my experience. Have you tried the "low lighting" option for situations like that ? Don't know how much it would help.
Not sure if this in the right place (if not, mods please move), but I recently bought a T-Mobile variant Samsung Galaxy S III (T999L). Target was having a sale on their Brightspot Mobile devices, and $150 for a Galaxy S III was too good to pass up. I've had the phone for a week and a half, and it's a really nice device. The screen at any brightness is amazing. I've used a few AMOLED and SLCD screens over time, but my main device for the past year has been a Nexus 5. Nothing that I've owned compared to this AMOLED screen.
One thing that I've noticed, however, with the screen is that it has some inconsistent splotches on it. What are these splotches you may ask? They only are noticeable on very dark backgrounds with the very dimmest brightness setting. When viewing something dark in a dark room with auto-brightness turned on is how I first noticed it. There are some dark lines and spots on the screen.
Here is the screen with a black background in a dark room, on auto-brightness:

Look at all of those marks. They're hardly noticeable, but they're there. In fact, the only way I could pick them up on camera was to set my DSLR up on a tripod and shoot a 60-second exposure.
Anybody seen anything like this before? Should I be worried about the longevity of the screen? It's almost a non-issue for me, but I thought I'd bring it up. Thanks!
