Has anyone else noticed the file size for photos taken on the one x? My Photo's taken at full resolution are only coming in at circa 1.8mb - seems rather small often images at the same resolution we're double the size on my DHD.
I use Camera ZOOM FX, much better app than the stock, it also not as aggressive with compression in post processing.
P.S. Just did a quick test, photo taken in Camera Zoom FX (2.7mb) is twice the size of photo in stock camera app (1.4mb).

I think we lose the cool features of the stock app such as the burst mode and the recording video and taking pictures
You can also have more than one camera app. Stock for burst mode, one for taking lower compression photo and another for social media.
Edit: just tried burst mode in the camera zoom app, and it is faster the stock! You can take up to 32 photos in one burst around 8 sec!
It looks like the app uses video recording for the duration of the burst and process the photos afterword. It is an interesting way of doing burst mode.

Good point Or I can hope the DEVs can fix the high compression rate. Some Useful Data must be getting lost
I used to have 5MP /16:9 back and 2.4MP front camera but after upgrading to Lollipop it's downgraded to 4.9MP/4:3 and 1.9MP/4:3
I am wondering why is that? why Lollipop messed up the Camera? how come I get over from this and take 5MP/16:9 photos again like I used to do.
I too wanna how to recover with this problem. Is there anything we can do using root ??

2560*1920 = 4915200 (in Lollipop)
2880*1728 = 4976640 (In KitKat)
it means in KitKat there are more pixels in taken images. but when it comes to Lollipop it reduced.
exactly 61440 pixels lost it's not a small value. so basically 5MP down to 4.9MP and aspect ratio is down from 16:9 to 4:3 and 61440 pixels lost Lollipop made the camera bad.
Photo thumbnails also messed up I just took a pic and it shows a green thumbnail but the photo is fine.
Back Camera is same.
Back
1152*2048 =2359296 (K)
1600*1200 =1920000 (L)
OMG, basically 439296 pixels lost what the heck google.

It's not an issue of the camera app ,no matter what camera app you use ,the issue is still there.
I presume, it's an issue in the camera API in the lollipop.
Hi,
Is the device using an MTK chipset?

D.
yeah Mediatek
