[thread] galaxy nexus camera shots

Let's post here your (maybe best) photo shots taken with Galaxy Nexus.
Just to share your experience with this 5MP camera, and let everybody make an idea on the quality of the NExus camera.
Thanks in advance to everyone!

Nobody?

Here's a quick one I've just taken.
Only had the phone 48 hours so far and not had much chance to take pictures outside with so little daylight hours.

Good, thank you!

Here is one, I will sent some more later!

Can I post one from my atrix??
On a serious note, those 2 photos look good. Can't wait for my gn to arrive

Thank you guys, but be careful , don't RESIZE images!
Use something like imageshack, or dropbox, but don't resize images.
Thanks.

Uploaded some full res photos now, straight off the camera.

Nice photos. Has anyone managed to take any good low light shots?

C'mon guys don't be lazy

I've done a low light one.
There was a security light on the area and also had the flash on on the phone... but still low light

I've just uploaded a few pictures onto my blog, along with some of my thoughts.
I don't know if any of the theories I have are correct or not; it's all guesswork
My Galaxy Nexus pictures and thoughts

Taken yesterday. Very good weather
Edit: strangely this pic looks great in my gallery, on FB but looks ****ty here. I think it's the size of the photo (100kb)

looks a bit grainy in the corner; still miles ahead of my Atrix camera though
my SGS1's camera was so much better than my Atrix

I get the feeling this camera is just really random, some pics i've seen look truly fantastic, and some are just...whut..?! Hope a software patch can make it more consistent.

same here; like the ones on google+ were really nice
yet some with good lighting i've seen seemed below average.
anyhow; its bound it be an improvement over my craptastic Atrix camera

I love Galaxy Nexus camera. It is super-fast and with the option to tweak the photos on the phone before sharing then with your friend, it works absolutely brilliantly.
The purpose of a camera phone is to be social and on-the-go. You don't go photographing nature with a camera phone. You take pictures of things you happen to witness or find interesting. You take pictures of friends or some food you like. You can easily edit it and share with friends.
The camera of Galaxy Nexus serves those needs better than some 8MP camera would. It is wickedly fast, I can take multiple photos while on the go of a subject and then pick out the one I liked the most.
This photo I took of two dogs that were difficult to take a picture of. The sun had just set, so the forest was already getting dark. I entirely forgot about selecting a proper focus point, but that did not matter. I tweaked the picture a little on the phone, the contrast and colors, added soft vignette and shared it. People loved it.

The purpose of a camera phone is to take pictures of things you cannot put into words and share them. For that purpose I have found Galaxy Nexus camera phone to be perfect.

I remember the camera being rubbish on the SGS2 initially also, and was improved significantly over time with firmware updates. I really hope its the same on this, as the camera is a a little hit and miss for my liking

Same here. I came in here with the express purpose of researching the camera. Side by side shots with other phones show a lot of fuzzy and blurry photos. Hopefully that gets fixed with a firmware update....if it does that will eliminate my last concern with the Nexus.

I think people have hit the nail on the head with the "variable" comments.
Sometimes the pictures are really good - other times not so good. Not finding a pattern as to why yet though!

[Q] Camera Question

I was messing with a Galaxy 2 today, and noticed that it had a 8mp camera on it. I thought the quality of the pictures were also really nice. How does the Nexus's camera compare to the one that is on the galaxy 2? Also, why would the downgrade the camera? I know that mega pixels isn't everything when it comes to pictures, but is the nexus 5mp camera better somehow that the 8mp that comes on other recent devices?
Thanks

Unfortunately there is nothing special about the 5mp camera on the nexus.

I can't speak for the galaxy s2, but coming from a Droid 1 which also has a 5mp camera I can say the nexus completely blows it away, very sharp too. Same MP, big difference. There are many discussions on what makes a 8mp camera suck and say, a 5mp be better, ill avoid that road but say it is more than just MP!
And as a second thought, its a phone! The nexus camera is more than adequate, and if you really need top quality, buy a real camera
Galaxy Nexus Bugless Beast 4.0.3 cdma

While there is more than MP the best unfortunate truth is that most high end phones have better sensors AND more MP

I'm not 100% sure but I believe megapixel has to do with the size of the photo?
Quality of the camera doesn't really depend on the megapixel.
Despite saying that, the galaxy nexus camera isn't that good. The software is ok but I think its worse then my 5megapixel camera that used to be on my galaxy s captivate.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. Just my thoughts.

my old htc Dinc got a 8mp camera, to compare the both, i dont see any differences beside the GNex came are godly fast.

I can coax better shots out of my Dinc...
That and stock software takes terrible shots, not even at the expense of speed, just poor decisions in noise reduction.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

I wonder if they choose to use a smaller sensor to keep the camera so fast. Maybe the larger sensors weren't performing as well speed wise. But I agree others, it isn't the best out there.

bummer. the camera is one of the main deciding factors for me. i'll be upgrading from a Dinc, and while it served me well the past two years, I really would like to upgrade to a better phone cam, since the Dinc's cam is terrible at low light situations and can overexpose at outdoors. the flash on it is terrible also, being overly bright, which just washes out the photo. do i have another option in verizon, or is the iphone 4s my only other option? my upgrade is due now by the way. thanks.

MP is just the size of the photos. How good a camera is has a lot more to do with just the MP count. However, MP count does play an important role in phone photography. 99% of the phone camera lenses have no optical zoom. All the "zoom" are digital zoom, which just means cropping and enlarging the original picture. In this case, all else equal, the higher the MP, the better the "zoomed" result. Moreover, and very unfortunately, MP count aside, the lens and the sensor on the Galaxy Nexus are pretty poor.

The camera isn't amazing, but I would definitely not suggest anything but the GNex since it's all round just a perfect phone, you'll regret not getting it IMO.

If I were you on verizon I would get the Rezound. It has a really nice camera compared to the Gnex and it also has a 1280x720 screen and even a more powerful GPU (but not CPU). I had it before I switched it for my gnex but I can't stand not having an AMOLED screen otherwise id still have that phone.

yea i was trying out that phone in store. it's a bit of a brick though, and i wasn't impressed with the screen as well. any other ones coming out soon that i should wait for? will verizon get the galaxy S3?

Im impressed with the GNex cam. I do a lot of custom paint and mostly metallics so i like to take very close pics and they always come out great

How to improve camera quality?

hi there is there a way to make the camera photos less darker and blurry?

I remember seeing a thread either in the Development forum or the Themes & Apps forum about some edits that can be made to improve camera quality.

Learn how to take photos? Most problems are user-related, no offense.
In many situations its not the camera thats "causing" the issues.

thanks for the reply guys, actualy ive seen a review of the nexus vs s3 and iphone and it said that the camera had worst performance since the pics are darker and less stable so i believe the problem is not just mine

Yeah but the reviews early on used the old firmware with bad camera. Latest update fixed camera quality much better. Its still not superb but better and decent enough. Low light is worst part though.

is there any fix to that besides turning up the lights ?

They are less stable? Just use the focus, and don't move your hand much. I have great pics from my Nexus, they look nice to me, probably not as good as the 4S but still good enough to post on FB.

Like others have said, you can get great pictures from the stock cam if you are steady but try using Camera Zoom FX. It's free on the Play Store. It does a better job of auto focusing then the stock camera.

I read that after updating to 4.0.4 now we're able to press the shutter button and it (manually ) focus then we just have to release our finger from the shutter button and it takes he picture, I updated my nexus but I when I hold the shutter button it doesn't focus, the viewfinder, never turns green :/
Was this just a rumor?
Is there a way to turn auto focus and just use manual focus?
I know you just stand still and wait for the phone to focus but how can I know that the focusing was done correctly?

Some pictures from the nexus camera..the last of them being a low light shot...IMO this camera puts out pretty close IQ to the 4s except in low light where the camera is ****

The camera is good on this?

It really is. I have no idea why so many people whine about it. My girlfriend quite often uses my phone instead of hers for pictures because the camera is so nice. Only time it sucks is if I zoom in at night with zero lighting. Basically have to try to make it anything but amazing. I can capture beautiful pictures of animals mid hop which is hard even with a real camera. OK rant over but I'm impressed by it.

because it is apart of humanity. we as humans always like to find something to criticize about, either that or they are trolls from other phone forums trying to bash the galaxy nexus. kinda like the whole criticism of "lack of sdcard" or "plastic phone". the camera is perfectly fine as long as its focused properly.
best tip is to just ignore them and keep using the phone we all enjoy the most

honestly i don't see a problem with 16GB, i mean yeah its nice to have a SD card slot. Verizon users have 32GB. The phone itself (in GSM form) should of came with 32GB in my opinion. But it's not a big deal for me.
I don't understand why people need to carry all their movies and music on their phone at the same time. It's not like they're going to watch everything they stored on their phone. And there is always USB OTG where you can plug a USB drive into your phone for expandable storage.
4.0.4 also improved the camera. my same ideology goes with the camera, phone cameras are for CASUAL pictures. if you're going to go out to a important event like a wedding or whatever it is... you'd have a DEDICATED camera such as a canon rebel eos or something of that sort. it would produce higher quality. same thing for GPS etc etc. yes i know its convenient, but we have to all realize that the GN is a phone. Not a superphone that can do everything in one device.

In good lighting the camera takes good shots. In low lighting the shots are extremely washed out. Coming from a rezound I like the pics better on the nexus in good light...even though the rezound has an on avg better camera. It can pass.
Knocking a phone for having a plastic build is pathetic. Mine is in a case...who cares what it is made of. As long as its in a case no one will ever know lol.

Phone actually feels really good regardless if it's plastic. When compared to a Galaxy S1, I feel that Samsung did a really good job on the Galaxy S2 backcover. Can't say too much about Galaxy S3 though. Looks like a downgrade.

The OP is not asking if the GN camera is good or not. The OP is stating his OWN opinion about the camera and he feels that the camera is good enough and wonders why people complain about the camera.

Thanks I couldn't find that thread. I think we get some damn good quality for a phone.

****ty craftsmen blame their tools.
I've got an ET4G SGS2 until tomorrow. From the pics I've seen here and round the web I'm sure I'll get the same quality (if not better) pictures from this camera...they'll just be slightly smaller.
Also people think they are "tipped off" by their "superior intellect" that the camera must suck because it has 3mp less than most cameras. I see it as having 3mp less noise in the image. I have a 16mp digital camera....that doesn't mean that it necessarily takes better pictures--zoom in the 1:1 pixel-for-pixel and tell me that you really need all 8mp when--even on a good well focused steady shot in great lighting--you see noticeable noise in every shot. Show me a phone camera (or even ANY digital camera) that consistently doesn't do this at all.
I'm not worried at all. I'm a musician....I've been in bands....played out for more than half of my life (I'm 32). Other musicians and band guys will likely know exactly what I'm talking about....lots of people are just about to start a band, project, song, video, production company, etc....but they just need that one last key piece of equipment to get them started. An artist wants to create art with whatever they have, everyone else will blame their tools for not making them great.

Apparently you didn't read my post. I simply suggested he admire the great photos taken with the phone by others. Please refer to the OPs post below yours.

The camera on this is great. Just because it has less pixels than most other cameras it doesn't take horrible pictures. I still consider it an upgrade from my 8mp DINC.

I like it too. I installed Camera FV-5 and it has dSLR controls. Good for casual shooting

Agreed. And I don't see it pointed out very often that the HTC Rezound is 100% plastic, the RAZR which claims to be aluminum feels a hell of a lot like plastic to me, the Thunderbolt, Revolution, X, X2, Bionic, Charge, Evo, Evo 3D, Evo LTE and 50 other high end phones over the last couple years - plastic. Even Casio's rugged phones are plastic. It's an illogical complaint, that's my point.

You guys are kidding right? The camera is simply not that good. It's not terrible, but just very disappointing for such a new flagship phone.
It has nothing to do with megapixels. If I read a review that compares cameras solely based on megapixels, I walk away. With the Nexus, it looks great in the viewfinder, but after I take a picture, I zoom in and it's usually blurry. I have gotten into the habit of taking 3 pictures and discarding the two worst ones and almost always the first pic is blurry as hell. I came from a 5mp Sony Ericsson Hazel feature phone with dedicated shutter button and I kinda miss it. I rarely needed to retake pictures like this. I'm only on 4.0.2 right now, so hopefully they did fix it in software.
The sensor is just weak, especially in low light. Annoyingly, our phone also loses to the iPhone 4s in picture quality. will try to find the link later.

It's pretty decent for the phone. You obviously can't expect SLR kind of quality but in good light it's very good.
The ICS improvements have made it very snappy too. Love the panaroma feature if that makes you tick...

About camera shots compression rate

It seems that the stock camera compress the pictures a lot. Are there any ways to adjust the compression way? maybe smali the camera.apk? Thanks.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

I´d like to know it too. The compression is pretty strong and you can see artifacts even on pictures taken with good light.

I downloaded Camera 360 for this reason - adjustable compression (if I remember)

Try igcamera free version, its the best if you ask me, Camera ICS+ is also good.
Cheers.

Wow! I didn't realize how aggressive the compression was until I tested this.
Took two pictures of the same subject, one with each camera app:
Default Camera app: 1.3mb
ICS Camera app: 4.3mb.
ICS camera pic has noticeably better quality.
Why would HTC do this? What is the benefit of making the pictures so small? They did this on the Vivid, too, including video, and it kind of ruined the quality.

Yup kinda of sucks doesn't it?
Also checkout the different in bit rate when recording with the stock camera and the igcamera or ICS+
You get like 12 mbps in bit rate with the stock and with the others you get 30 or more igcamera has the option to go to 100mbps, the difference is very noticeable.

These three photos were taken one after the other in the same conditions, first one is with the stock camera, second one is with camera 360 and the third one is taken with ICS camera, I prefer the stock, more natural colours in my opinion, what does everyone think. This is the north coast of Ireland.

I'm not a pro by any means, but I think we can all agree that images shot in low light conditions with the HTC one x lack detail and are extremely grainy. The image chip was supposedly going to give us a superior camera experience but after trying the stock camera, ics + and a few others I'm still less than impressed. Not giving up hope yet though that the right software modifications could still make this a great point and shooter, as under perfect lighting it performs extremely well.
I'm currently trying procapture. In direct comparison with other alternatives mentioned here, I am finding the images to be of marginally better quality when pointing and shooting in shades and less than ideal indoor lighting. Although blacks remain too gray for my taste.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

The camera takes great pictures under good lighting as examplified by your images. My problem is that for everyday situations, where lighting is usually not ideal, the picture quality is horrendous.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I've tried almost every camera application I can find and, honestly, I find the stock HTC camera app to be the best. Some applications are better in certain situations, but the stock camera app is the best all round. People always complain about the terrible low light pictures but with the exception of the Galaxy S 3 and some of the Xperia range, I've never owned a phone that can take such good photos.
The advert with the sky diver taking videos and photos is ridiculous and misleading though, those videos and pictures would look awful!

I agree with you but the recording is nicer with ICS due to the bit rate which HTC SHOULD have fixed somehow...

With every app i tried video recording looses focus
refocusses every 20-25sec or so
