Develop Bugs

Have we gotten any kind of camera test shots yet?

Still looking for some comparison photos of the NG camera. The 5 MP camera is a bit offputting, but for years the iPhone camera was running at less MP and always seemed to have a better sensor and produce better pictures, i'm hoping that's the case right now. The camera and the size are really my two biggest concerns with the device right now.....

Droid life found some pictures from it back in October

Something like that for example?
Test Pictures
They were made with a sample after the release show. Don't know if they are equal to the final product or not.

Engadget and Thisismynext did test shots between GN and the iPhone4S.
Not gonna be a lot of in-depth tests until review units go out.

The post about how megapixels don't mean crap in terms of picture quality needs to be made a sticky on this forum. I'm tired of it coming up. Take a Nikon dedicated camera that taps out at 5MP and compare it to a phone at 8MP and see which looks better.

If you have Google+ account, find Tim Bray and follow him.
He is one of the Android developer.
And he is testing the GN camera right now during his trip, posted in his Google+.
I saw the photos are amazing!

You're right the nonshaky ones look good. I'm not stunned but I would say it's really solid work for a phone camera.

I'm not impressed. The night shot looked sharp for a night photo but the rest... no visible improvement compared to my Galaxy S. So much for sacrificing MP for quality.

+1 I'm actually excited to see what this camera can do. The 5 MP cam on this phone will probably blow the mytouch4g slides 8 MP away. Bottom line, galaxy nexus Is going to be one badass phone. Period.

Not sure what you're seeing. None of those pictures are any better than what my Fascinate takes. They should have went ahead and used the GSII camera. Seems much better than this one.

High Bit Rate Camera

I am currently trying to replicate the HQ camera similar to the sensation.
I have bit rate coming out at almost 20mbs and I think the default is around 10mbs as seen in these pictures below. I will keep this thread updated and will post an installation file when I believe it is ready

I restored the original file because I didn't have any videos saved on my one x

Interesting effort. How much does this rely on HTC's software? I'm curious whether you can maybe do anything to address the terrible number of dropped frames on the One X's stock camera app.

excellent initiative, anxiously waiting for an installation.
should be moved to themes & apps though, i'll attend to that.

is it a separate app or will it replace the camera app. i do hope its a separate app coz i dun want to root my phone

Does this include still photos or just videos?

I had some stuttering, I am trying to iron all of that out though

UPDATE:
I have managed to record at 24mbs as seen in this screenshot, this is at 19fps
However what I am experiencing at the moment is a large amount of lag between pressing the record button and the it displaying on the screen that it is recording, the bit rate seems to be a bit of hit and miss, it will record at 24mbs a second sometimes and others it will do 16mbs or less. I believe this is to do with the frame rate, so it looks like we will need to sacrifice frames for a higher bit rate.. more testing and trying things out needs to be done, but it looks like it may take a little longer before I public on this.

Can You try recording at 720p 10-12 mbps whit Htc camera ?
Thank you

But I think a constant high fps(~30) is more important than pure quality...

ceo.mtcl Good to see your enjoying the camera on the ONE X, don't forget to join us at the 'Flickr HTC ONE Users Group' http://www.flickr.com/groups/htc-one/
See you there!

Wow, I wonder why some people complain that the camera is flaky, etc. etc. (don't remember exactly what but to me those seem as very high quality pictures.

are you kidding me?? They're terrible. I have been having nothing but bad experiences with this camera as well. Especially under low light, the pictures are incredibly grainy and lack detail. Thanks for nothing HTC

Dude it's a phone, the pictures are fantastic for a phone camera and there's a lot of shots which are very good as shown in the pictures in this thread and other threads
If you want a good camera and want to be able to not have any drawbacks, I recommend a DLSR
Or use photo shop to fix any photos maybe

nice pics!

The first two pics and the last one look pretty decent. The others are way too noisy though. Looks like the ISO was a bit high, that or the Digital Zoom has been used. Personal opinion, but Digital Zoom is always a no-go for me

Agreed. Instead of zooming, id actually walk closer to the subject. Zoom on mobile devices are pretty useless.

I wish I could get my Nitro to take pictures like the One X, anyone have any good recommendations on good apps, tweaks, etc...?

HDR Camera. Give it a try.

Wow, the colors are really off on the Nitro shots.

i'll be glad when the galaxy s III comes out so we can have a whole new set of baseless comparisons threads.

Yeah I never realized it until I compared them directly with the One X

ok, i'llplay. i want to compare my nitro hd to my canon 5d mark II
on the left is a picture i recently took with my mark II (my mark IIIs are arriving next month!!;-))
on the right is a picture of that picture i just drunk snapped in a dark room , blur and all
godd nite

Yo dawg I heard you like pictures,
So i took a picture then put it on my monitor, then took another picture of the picture.

Also, if your job is taking photos of babes all day, WAY TO GO MAN, LIVING THE DREAM

wow never noticed the colors were that off either. i mean, quality wise, its just about the same but the colors is what drives the eyes to perceive better quality. interesting. its cool thought. i dont take too many pictures, but good to know. i have about a year left with the phone. i can survive

This is a picture taken with the ProCapture camera app while on ICS. Pretty darn good app.

I use ICS Camera(App), it takes pretty good picture.

The one x photos looks crisp , but its the one x that made the pink hat red not the nitro.

I believe a little tweak on the white balance and exposure will give you better pics with correct colors.

Does an app like procapture change anything with the camera/encoding quality? Or does it just give you more options to tweak?

hah! i completely forgot i hit this thread, where'd the op go?

[Q] htc one v camera quality issue

I am using HTC one v since one month..I have noticed that size of the pics with a 5 megapix camera in round 800kb..even my n73 has similar size of pics with just a 3.2 megapix camera..so in fact the file size should b larger with a 5 mp cam of htc one v...I think that is the main cause of low quality pics...pics comes to b of poor quality when zoomed even a little except the closeup shots...and another isuue is with flash,it just makes pics so bad and white in dark..full of white noise...i hate taking pics with flash...even my nokia n73 does a far better job than htc one v..friends i just want to know what can i do to improve the camera of my htc one v..and how to take better pics and how to increase file size with quality of pics especially in dark with flash on...

Mega pixels have got nothing to do with file size its all about resolutions of the picture you take
To improve your camera quality try searching for some cam mode in one v android development section

Its because the camera quality is compressed.

any solution guys...plzzzzz helppp

There is a camera mod for the One X, which saves images and video uncompressed. But it has not been ported to the One V, afaik.

Yes, they have. The higher the resolution of a raster image, the more memory it takes to store it. 32.000.000 pixels are less than 800.000.000 pixels. This incredibly low file size is being achieved by extreme compression, which brings in a lot of artifacts.

Hi, please keep all question rated threads in the Q&A section. Thank You.
