EVO Camcorder Quality

I am very unhappy with the video and photo quality of this EVO. Mine is hardware version 003. I just got it 40 days ago. I had an Epic that my son won't give back and it's 720p video is flawless, and the 5Mp photos are crisp and clear. This EVO is completely opposite. The photos are grainy and blurry and the video is terrible.
Are there any fixes for camcorder quality? I am currently running myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS 4.

Put them side by side on the computer and they should be about the same. The only thing the epic might get an evo in is low light situations. The screen of the epic might be playing tricks on you.

And you might get flamed for wrong section

What are your setting for camera and video? 8MP and 720?

flame ON!....

Sigh ... quickly loosing hope in humanity

so whats your sd card again? it can be because of your sd card (the video part)

Yes sir. 8MP and 720P video.
And no, the Epic's screen isn't playing tricks on me. I can take video from both handsets, play it back on my PC and they look totally different.

Quit whining and have some control over your kid.

The Epic also has a PowerVR graphics processor 90million per sec. Evo has an embedded Adreno 200 processor at 22million. The Epic should run the graphic significantly smoother and better.

i ment the class of the card because that determines the speed of your sd, thats y i never use to look at videos on my phone until i got a class 6 they run pretty smooth

I like the units of measure you're using

It's well known around here that the Epic camera is far better than the EVO camera.
Check out this side by side comparison, especially the night time one.

But shouldn't 720p video be identical to 720p video from any other device? One would think.

Can try posting in Myn's RLS4 thread and see if there are others who experienced the same thing and perhaps has a fix for it?

No. Thats like saying the view of a sunset from a pinhole and no pinhole is the same.

Good idea, thanks. I ran a search in that thread and quickly browsed but didn't see anything obvious.

looks like it except for the camera (wich is another scratch magnet nipple camera damit!) though i can see a switch right next to the camera button , wich the 3d has , so .......photoshoped? or perhaps a switch with a different function?

Hope it's not a downgrade.

That's the Evo+ in Japan. Look at it on YouTube. No news if we gonna get it though. I love my Evo and will wait for a better option to replace my sweet Evo than what currently available. It meets my requirements perfectly

The Design 4G is the HTC Kingdom from what I've read. 4" screen, 1.2gHz single core processor, dual 5MP camera. Sounds interesting for folks that think the OG EVO is too damn big.

is this the same thing as the htc evo 4G+ that they released in Taiwan or am I totally thinking the wrong device

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoJ6XcgithQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player

If u read closely its font is in Japanese
I think

it is a sprint destined phone from what i read on engadget alone ith a couple others of nonimportance edit: also it is supposed to have dedicated cam button no 3d just easy use cam

Then this is the phone I'm waiting for. I love my og Evo and can only think of replacing it w a better beefier Evo. Developement for the dual core snapdragon should be right where it needs to be by then

It's not going to be dual core.. but a previous poster was right. I love my OG EVo, have been rocking it since the day it came out. I don't take that many pics, so the downgrade in mp is not that big a deal to me.. I just want a bit smaller phone. I'll be getting the DESIGN 4G when it drops just for smaller design.
HTC will be unvailing it tomorrow, so we shall see...

http://pocketnow.com/android/htc-evo-design-4g-first-press-shot
First official press photo of the HTC EVO Design 4G. 4inch qHD screen, 1.3mp front facing camera, 5mp on back, 1.2ghz single core processor and 768mb of memory. Shouldn't be too long before its released.

swapped for a iphone 4s,oh im drunk and i miss her (epic touch)

You can't just be switching phones to switch...you only have yourself to blame on this one. Go on Craigslist and switch back. Should be real easy.

Yeah well not as drunk as the O.P, i'm sober as a 2 dollar bill, but i went back to my NS4G and just sold the Epic Touch on eBay for practically what i paid for it. Crap battery life from LoS and Android OS bug can't make up for all the positives.
When and if an official MR fix is out from Sprint and or Samsung then i'll bite again. Tired of being a beta guinea pig for these companies.

Galaxy Nexus doesn't seem software impressive. Weaker cameras screen is bigger but not better actually worse. Not sure what the buzz is about that thing anyway. Epic Touch seems better in like almost every single spec.

I had the 4S and returned it. I wasn't impressed. Now I have the E4gT and I couldn't be happier. This phone should be Sprints flagship. Not the Evo3D or the iPhone. I truly love it!!

You waste more time of your life posting in threads like these than you would ignoring them homeboy.

Hahaha,alcohol effects have vanished now,so I still have 2days left,from my 14 days ,,well I'm still not getting use to the small screen coming from epic 4g,Evo,Evo 3d,and epic touch this is my first iPhone ,now I have become what I mostly detested a iPhone owner'

If the iPhone came with a least a 4" screen I would try it out. Can't knock it till you try it.

Every time I see an iphone4 it reminds of the HTC Aria but with less buttons.

Post pictures from your Galaxy Nexus!

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

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.

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.
