Post pictures from your Galaxy Nexus!

Can't believe there isn't a thread for this yet! Post some pics taken with your gnex!

Wrong sub forum that's why!

He's not asking for screenshots.
I took these in Zürich last week. These are straight off the phone, no compression, no editing.
EDIT: After many cries I resized the pictures, although I believe providing full sized pictures would give more of an accurate representation.

No offense, but those are terrible pictures.

They actually don't look that bad when they're not at full size.

Yea umm, the next posters need to resize their pics before posting otherwise potential GNex owners might get the wrong impression.

Sorry, but I tend to agree with the other posters. Those pics are a horrible representation of the camera. I've taken much better night shots with the GNex, and I also have better night shots in Zurich that I took with my EVO a year or two ago. Awesome city though. The train station during Oktoberfest was very cool.
Edit - sorry, didn't mean to be so negative. I have to say that I've taken plenty bad pictures with dedicated point-and-shoots. I'm not really a photog type, but I have friends that are so I can honestly say nothing short of a nice DSLR and plenty of time playing with exposures, etc is going to get you a nice night shot. Even a very nice camera will take bad shots. Starting to ramble...that second pic is walking straight out of the train station though, right? Wow, it's very crowded. Anything in particular going on that night?

Are these any better?

Better, yes. Just got mine and I haven't taken a picture yet, but I'll miss the stellar camera in the SGS II. This is almost the same module as the Nexus S, correct? Perfectly usable camera in decent light.

After seeing shots from the GSII and owning a iPhone 4S... This thread saddens me. :/

Post your pictures, stop complaining.

haven't taken any pics outside yet but here is one indoors.

I haven't used the camera app on gnex much yet, but I took a quick look yesterday. I couldn't find anything in the menu to adjust the resolution or picture detail (e.g. fine, super fine) like there was on my Captivate. Is there any way to adjust that in the settings?

I haven't really had a chance to take many pictures yet.
This didn't really come out very well because of the lighting, the whole bottom half is just black

well unless they've made a NDGrad for the Nexus, you're always going to get black unless you HDR a couple of different exposure shots together..

Pano shot from my Nexus

i've been meaning to go out and test the pano feature! did you take this with arms out stretched or in close to your body, and how did swivel around?
its not a bad little camera, it gives better results than my 3Gs did

to be brutally honest, the nexus camera doesn't cut it. The SGS2 and iPhone 4 camera is much much better. I remember when I first got the SGS2 the camera was very poor, and it improved drastically with firmware updates, so I am hoping for the same with the Nexus.

interesting, i hardly ever take photographs with my phone, but im quite happy with the results from the Nexus for a camera phone, and if they can improve it with updates over time, all the better..

Back in a phablet once again!!!

Well after a long hard 3 months using an Iphone4 after my dell Streak 5 bit the dust. I decided it was time for a new phone. My choices were either a MEGA or Note 2. I checked out both but to my surprise the mega didn't flow as nice as the Note. So I took it home with me and am now the proud owner of a Note 2:laugh:

Welcome to the GN2, enjoy your new toy!!:thumbup::thumbup:

This phone rocks anyway..
Good community here, and I can't see it going anywhere anytime soon. Most people seem to be skipping the note 3 so I'd say our phone will still be relevant for quite some time

Note 3 is not my cup of tea. ..
That processor is gonna sound like a toilet flushing the battery. ..and the camera is lacking image stabilization. .
Leather black color looks odd. ...and 5.7 inches of display was a mistake. ..
Not to mention a guaranteed lock on the bootloader with endless exploit patches sure to come. ..
Sorry. ...I'll keep my rock solid note 2...at least another year. ..or until Sammy puts out the S5 active. ...
You did well getting a note 2...as it is a great device with great support and community. ..g

The camera does have image stabilization...
Also the processor is more efficient, therefore battery life should be equivalent to ours currently.
"13MP Camera With Stabilization
The Galaxy Note 3 includes an upgraded 13MP camera that includes smart stabilization. This is Samsung’s optical image stabilization which will make photos look better thanks to advanced technology. Users also have access to a host of camera modes found on the Galaxy S4 including Dual Shot."

You said it, the note 2 isn't going anywhere the devolpment is just getting started and I've got the vzw note 2 and use the at&t Sim and both fourm s are great ! Lots of love to tha note 2

Which is going to be thru software based. But having true OIS is a big difference...
The phone is moving where the lens is sitting still. It's like it's on its own separate gyroscope!! I first seen it on the Sony camcorder at the CES show. The other functions that we'll get will be nice. But I'll hold out till the next model. Where technology will be very advanced by then...

So you're going by rumours from before it was released?

Note 3 Neo camera performance

As for Note 3 Neo camera performance, I wonder if it Is already better than Note 2 camera?
Can Note 3 Neo camera compare with Note 3 camera ?
8MP of Note 3 Neo may look fewer than Note 3's, but camera quality also depends on other factors, such as camera brand, camera firmware, and.. by user's feel by eyes.
I own an S3 so hope that Note 3 Neo at least has a camera better than S3's.

almost the same.for me owning before an s3,the s3 has a little more sharpness.

I can't say about note 3, but my mom has S4 (and S4 & Note 3 have the same camera) and I have taken innumerable pics with it.. I can tell u that the camera on the N3 Neo is as good, only that S4 is a lil sharper when zooming in.. the camera S/W on the Neo is really good.. especially the digital stabilisation really helps with night & indoor shots!

Try using Google Camera

Hi...I owned Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note II and Galaxy S4 mini in the past. They all had similar 8Mpx camera. Now I own Galaxy Note 3 Neo and my feelings are, that present device has in overall the best sharpness in the centre and corners of the photos. Sure, S4 and Note 3 have little bit better cameras because of 13Mpx and good optics (more detailed photos, better for cropping), but Note 3 Neo is great runner-up and has really good digital image stabilization. :good:

Have captured a few low light shots using Digital stabilization (initially i was confused with terminology thinking its like OIS) and have got excellent results. Would definitely recommend camera over S3/Note 2

Yeah That's because i took camera too close as this doesn't have macro focus for some odd reason.

Lol Blunt.

I installed the newer Motorola camera from my Droid Mini onto the M. Everything seems to work for the most part, except the screen gets jumpy and glitchy when scrolling the settings wheel. It takes photos much faster. It was taking several seconds to take a photo with the original camera, so the newer Moto camera is a huge improvement in that regard. I don't know if the image quality is any better or worse, looked kind of bad to me, but I thought the photos looked kind of bad with the original camera ever since KK anyway. Might just be because indoors and not enough light though.

The Razr M's camera/sensor is terrible. My pictures come out foggy, grainy, and ever since KitKat...pinkish. Using Moto's new camera or Google's camera, my pictures don't come out with the pinkish hue, but there still terrible. My Galaxy Nexus takes better photos, and that camera sucks... bad.

Not as good as my iPhone 4S or Droid Mini. I just took a few indoor pics and they look out-of-focus and grainy. I don't know if they would look better with the stock camera since the new Moto camera replaces the stock camera app so I can't try both easily. Stock camera was just too damn slow to be useful. Moment is gone before it takes the pic. I feel like once upon a Jellybean, the phone used to take decent pics, and stock camera wasn't nearly as slow. I have a few pics that came out pretty decent that I was sure were taken on the M long ago, on JB. Granted, they were all outdoor pics.
I think even on KK, the pics it takes might be better than the Kyocera Hydro Elite I had (surprisingly bad for 8MP) and way better pics than the LG Lucid 2 which had the worst 5MP camera considering its speed/performance level was close to the RAZR M. Usually you only see cameras as bad as the Lucid 2's on cheap plastic single-core prepaid phones that come in blister packs.

thank u all very much i pressed it
Well after bith of your opinions and the revuews i read i think i will be looking else were for a phone fot work i need a cheap phone with a decent camera oh well thinking aout a used s3 or a used 4s thanks again guys if i could just strech for a used droid dna hope to see you all in anither forum

Hmmm, well, I guess the pics are not TOO awful.
Took a couple pics of my car with the newer Moto camera (don't make fun, it's an antique, lol). One in the morning, one in the afternoon. I think old camera probably took better pics, but was unbearably slow and the newer one takes pics instantly. I had HDR and spot focus turned off.

Camera Quality very poor

Hi all,
Merry Christmas
I've had my Tab a few month now and works perfect, apart from the camera which today I found out gives horrendous grainy image quality.
Is it just mine are are others getting the same quality? I tried cleaning lens using out of the case, holding perfectly still and also auto mode pro etc, My S8+ wipes the floor camera wise.
Very disappointed.

Cameras on tablets are more just for productivity and skype calls more than anything...
Nothing else

I originally had the Galaxy tab s3 and thought that was bad enough it was so slow just to search the internet or open apps, plus the camera was terrible, I got the galaxy tab s4 off eBay for 249.99 free plus shipping brand new sealed. And thought there was going to be a huge improvement in the camera, I was wrong, the tab s4's camera quality reminds me of a cheap $29.99 ZTE smartphone. It's processer is a lot faster at least, but this tablet needs drastic updates. I complained to Samsung saying that you can buy the newest generation iPad Pro 12.9 for 699.00 refurbished on Amazon, an absolutely phenomenal tablet. And bestbuy still has this tab s4 priced at 599.99! There tablets I don't know what is going on with them but Samsung does make some killer phones! My Samsung Galaxy S10 plus is amazing. I own my own photography company and It's camera is as good as my professional Nikon camera I use for photoshoots. I hope Samsung releases more updates for this tablet soon!

LOL, I asked about security updates seeing as mine is on May security update and was told that it is "the latest and most reliable update"... Since there was a MAJOR vulnerability found in July I think the next part "Security patch updates are being sent out if there are potential security vulnerabilities observed, or reported. We take security and privacy very seriously." is sort of a piss in the wind moment from Samsung...
Their phones are updated pretty fast, their tablets are left out in the cold...
I don't think there will be any major updates to the software any time soon, especially as the Tab S6 was just released... You want an upgrade then fork out $$$ for the latest and greatest...

Try using the GCam port for Snapdragon 835's it drastically improved the quality of my photos. You can get it here.

I didn't have any luck with that app with the Samsung Tab S4. But the Samsung Galaxy S10 camera app seems to help, It may also improve the Tab S3's camera situation. Then again anything is an improvement with the Tab S3 lol. The link is below.
