So, after being a bit disappointed by the recent announcement (and 5MP camera) I think I will just sell my Nexus S and get an international SGSII. Better camera and available now, and will have ICS ROMs soon.
Anyone else feel the same way?
Nope sorry still rather have Nexus but to each their own.

not for me , as matter of fact , Pixel is NOT most important characteristic to the camera , have you seen a video that compares iPhone 4S and Galaxy Nexus of shutter speed?
http://v.youku.com/v_showMini/id_XMzE0MTgyNjc2_ft_6.html
look at shutter speed , Galaxy Nexus took 6 pictures while 4S just took 3 ...
shutter speed, imaging ...etc are also important
otheriwse , for exmple 15 MP with dozen seconds of shutter or 5 MP with half second of shutter, which one do you choose?
beside , i don't think human eyes can see much different between image made by 5MP or 8MP
if you really like to take picture , then why don't you buy a professional camera?
Folks, I get the megapixel race isn't the end all.
I'll probably wait on the Galaxy Nexus but I wanted to get your thoughts.
And I have a DSLR, but have trouble fitting it in my pocket. So, I want the best possible camera on a phone for when I am out and about and not wanting to lug a huge beast of a camera with me.
Nexus alllllllllllll the way. U kidding me! Lol galaxy nexus awesome. And I have the sgs2 international. Would dump it in a sec for a nexus

Have you even seen what that 5mp camera can do?!?!?! It is quite impressive! Better than the iPhone 4s 8mp that's for sure.

i love my 5mp camera on the nexus s. as i will probably enjoy the galaxy nexus 5mp camera more(when i finally invest in one).
More pixel does not equal better camera. Let's stop with this silliness.

Well, judging from the blurry grainy shots on Engadget and thisismynext.com, color me not impressed by the Galaxy Nexus' camera.
I mean, yeah, the camera has zero lag and takes turrrbo photos, but if they all look grainy/out of focus/blurry, I care not.
Just IMO, per usual internet rules.

MP count doesn't equate to image quality.
my old nikon d40 DSLR only have 6mp but of course it took much better pictures than any mobile phone cameras on the market.
the image sensor size, engine and lens/optics are what matters most.
My gf has a S2, sure its nice, but the touchwiz interface is meh... and for its size, the screen is really lacking the extra resolution of the new Nexus. Remember the S2 came out many months ago already, it's new in the USA but not really latest tech.
A great phone though, im not trying to give it a bad rep, just saying new Nexus really is the new tech.

for example
nexus one camera and nexus s camera have same MP count.
but nexus s camera output is much better than nexus one's.
i have both phones so i know how frustrated i am with nexus one's camera.
So how does everyone defend the poor sample photos from the Galaxy.
Serious question....

Engadget and this is my next are very iPhone centric fanboy sites. I'm waiting for tests done by someone that knows what they are doing and not trying to make it look bad. Not saying that was done here but apparently Engadget screwed up pictures from the Nokia phone twice. Once in comparison with the iPhone 4 and then most recently with the iPhone 4s test. Given that, someone there doesn't know how to use a phone that isn't Apple made. Take those photos with a grain of salt.

I went from Nexus S to the Galaxy SII and I wish I could go back. Sure, it has a better screen and camera but the software is buggy and bloated. I tried to put on cyanogen but that one still has a lot of bugs as well. My Nexus S was rock solid.
I will definitely be trading in my SII for the new Nexus.
I am not a camera person myself and I really don't a **** about them to be honest. They have reached the point where they are acceptable to me on a smartphone.
Now that that's out of the way. On to engaget and basically all the other mobile sites. They all suck and are complelely useless in everything they cover. Apple/android/windows it don't matter really. They are just flat out terrible. The camera may be ****. It may be really good. But ihmo to come to a conclusion based on those idiots is foolish.
If you want a real rundown of a device wait for anandech to cover it.
I LOL @ people that don't choose a phone because it only has a 5MP camera compared to 8MP on other phones.

no, but it means more cropping options. probably also better photoshopping options.
the only thing worse then people thinking mpx is everything is people screaming they're nothing. i'd kill for another 6 on my 12mpx Nikon just for cropping. much cheaper then a tele lens i generally don't need and can't afford even if i needed it.
ontopic - i like official updates, so Nexus beats Galaxy S any day. Size and price will be key, camera is irrelevant.
I travel and use my phone to scan documents, and my camera is suppose to be better than the iphones, it sucks, there is no way I get as good an image as my friends iphone does, whats the problem?
Actually closer to useless as a scanner.

I am not using any program just taking a picture, after all that's what my buddy does with his phone.
Maybe I will go by the Verizon store and see if the phone they have does better than mine.

I have not compared the quality of pictures, just images of documents, if I am trying to focus binoculars, of cameras, I focus on trying to read something, but in this case I need the documents to mail them in PDF format after printing them.
I'd have to agree that the iphone 4s does have better picture quality. It is newer hardware after all. The dinc2 camera works perfectly for me though. You have to remember it's a phone with a camera, not a camera with a phone.

To be honest you're never going to get the quality of a scanner from your phone, and indoor lighting is generally terrible as shown here.
I'll take a pic using the iphone 4S tonight and post it. I'm going to redo all 3 that way we can have a test with similar variables.

What the heck does this have to do with the above post?!
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
I think you need to adjust your metering in settings. I'm able to do that on cm7 not sure if its an option with the stock camera app, but the consensus is that the sense camera is better than the aosp camera. When metering mode is changed from center weighted to frame average on cm7 i get no focal spot blur like i do in a shot with center weight metering.
Maybe someone with a sense camera can chime in on what metering options are available with it but changing that might help your focal blur on documents
Center weighted. Text blur near top

You tell me what you think.
I come from a galaxy s ii which has a really nice camera imo, I really,really wanna get the galaxy nexus since the price is dropping like crazy, it's 490 $ on Amazon im thinking by the first week of April it will be somewhere between 460-480 $, the only thing stopping me is the camera, a friend of mine has the nexus and i think the pictures are... Horrible, dull, washed out, has the quality of the pictures improved with the updates? Is it true that you can get better looking pictures with cm9?
I wanted to get the one x, which looks incredible but the cheapest price you can preorder its 675 $, it has sense, I don't care if it's sense 4, im sick of half working roms, having to lose my apps and install them again, that's why I want to get a pure ics device

You can try some 3rd party camera apps to help you tweak a little.
The Galaxy Nexus is definitely capable of taking good quality pictures. Its just not a certainty when you turn the camera on that every shot will be great. That's unfortunate but the camera isn't a complete POS.
not only 3rd party apps can tweak the pictures, you can also push files to force higher quality via the gnex toolkit (i did it and i think it did something. im satisfied with the pictures which is maybe because i know its a phone and for everything else i use my dslr)

Hello.
How are you?
Currently I have a galaxy note. I really like the phone, but I am thinking about switching.
I use my phone to make calls and text. To use my gmail account and Google calendar. I don't play games and I don't use a lot of apps
I use xda, tapatalk for internet forums, Facebook for the occasional upload and chrome for some web browsing.
I also use the phone as a music player when commuting.
This pretty much sums my use.
I am thinking about the One x, because I would lime something a bit smaller to use with one hand, and a phone with a better camera IQ wise, to avoid taking a camera everywhere.
So, how does the One X fare in this? Is the camera that much better than the one on the note?
I am also thinking about the Nokia 808 pureview.
It has the best camera of any phone today, and is also a great music player in regard to audio quality.
I don't like the screen resolution and also the fact that it runs Nokia belle leaves me a bit scared of not being able to do what I currently do with my phone...
So, based on this, what are your thoughts?
Please help me out making a decision.
Thank you

I just switched off from a T-mobile Galaxy SII (pretty much the same camera as the note) to the HTC One X and have to say the colors on the SII are a lot brighter then the One X however the One X does make the picture look a lot more realistic.

Photography is the art of playing with available light, pics can be great with many cameras. But if you're viewing pictures at 100% zoom that's a different story altogether. However, the HOX default camera app does have a lot of compression which is needed to get to the kinds of burst that it's capable off. If you're taking your time composing images, I use a 3rd party camera app like Camera360 which bypasses the processing so I get much better quality images.

Google is your friend .
Have a look at these comparisons/reviews:
Nokia 808 PureView blind test: The sum of all pixels
Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III vs. HTC One X
As you can see in the first link, Nokia undoubtedly has the better camera, but that’s the only good thing about that phone, IMO the Belle OS will be a huge disappointment for you coming from a G.Note.
As for the One X, it has a pretty good camera, but IMO Galaxy S3 has a better one.
Given the options I think S3 would be a better choice for you because:
It has a slightly better camera,
has a higher capacity removable battery,
already having a GNote you might find the SAMOLED screen of S3 more appealing than One X’s screen (I know One X produces more true to life colors, but after getting used to the over saturated vibrant colors of an AMOLED screen, most people find other screens a little washed out, just my openion..),
if you already prefer touchwiz UI then you’ll feel more comfortable (on top of that TW has some cool new features as well)
last but not least no stupid locked bootloaders, and better community support.

thank you for the replies.
Is the camera on the S3 that different from the one on the Note? In regard to hardware, mainly, lens and sensor?
Or is it pretty much the same with a better native camera App to take advantage of it?
Cheers!
Although ive never played with the s3. The s2 seems to be a lot like the note. My only guess would be an upgraded camera with basically the same features. U can get the most out of ur pix with a 3rd party camera app like uCam or camera360. I'd skip on the one X if its for photography.

Stock apps are generally OK at images, but really no harm in installing a 3rd party app to take images too. Since you're on XDA, go get your phone rooted and install the HQ Camera mod THAT really makes a difference!

You'd be surprised how much software plays a roll in image quality as well
I was so excited to get my Play Store Nexus, and loved almost everything about it. Later I sold it to buy a Galaxy Note but quickly sold the Note and bought another Nexus- which I later sold for a Note 2. I kept the GN2 for a while, then sold it and bought another Nexus which I have still. I recently bought a Note 3, but I can't seem to get rid of my Nexus.
I keep coming back to the Galaxy Nexus- and I would sell my Note in favor of my Nexus if I could just find a way to fix the camera quality.
That's my question: is there a way too improve my camera quality?
Right now I'm on CM11.
Any ideas?
You can't change the quality only the experience.. Example would be hold to focus let go instead of tapping to take the picture

I was thinking about upgrading my nexus when my contract is up in early March but with all the kit kat development going on my phone feels like it has new life in it. I know my next phone will need to have a unlocked bootloader but I could care less about the camera. If I want good pictures I will just use my DSLR for quick pics though the nexus works fine for me.
Currently running shiny rom 1/4/14 and she is running smooth with an uptime of 75 hours however I can't wait for Liquidsmooth to get the bugs worked out.
It's not that I'm trying to take professional quality pictures, but the quality is really poor. I use the Wellsfargo banking app to mobile deposit checks, and it wont work with my Nexus. The pictures are too "out of focus". I'll try the tap-hold-and let go tip though. Sounds like it may be useful in my situation.
And don't get me wrong, I really like my Note 3, but there's just something about the Galaxy Nexus that makes me keep coming back.

I feel the same way I tried a RAZR maxx HD galaxy s3 and 4 iPhone and blackberry 9930. I love my nexus the best even though the antenna has been the worse off all those phones. I can confirm because I have had 3 nexus...unless I just have really bad luck

So I've been trying to figure this out, but I don't understand- hold what to focus? I tried holding on the screen but it just brings up camera settings, then I tried holding the action button and nothing happens at all. If I tap the screen it will focus but when I let go it doesn't take the picture. Maybe I just misunderstood...

When you pointing your camera on a item Tue middle circle that pops up is what the camera is going to focus on hold of he blue button down until the circle turns green when it does that its focused let go and it will take a foucuse pic(only if the phone is still)
Also if you tap and hold on the screen in different areas those will become your new 'focus' area once its set do the same thing over again withe the blue button and it will focus on the new area
Hope this helps
I had the camera set to "continuous picture". When I switched it to "auto" it works. I'm going to try this out for a while and if it improves the quality I might just hold on to this phone until the next generation.

I use the Wellsfargo banking app to mobile deposit checks, and it wont work with my Nexus. The pictures are too "out of focus". I'll try the tap-hold-and let go tip though.

I use a similar function with my bank app without issue. Do you have enough ambient lightning?
I don't think there's much you can do drastically improve the image quality. You could get around the the quality of the sensor on stationary scenes with bracketing techniques. I keep looking for apps make use of bracketing but It seems post editing on the PC is the only viable option ATM. Here's one interesting technique: http://jtrujillo.net/qpix/
