Camera question

Something I've been wondering for awhile. One of the things I love about sense is the camera app.(One of the things I always look forward to in sense roms)
Here is my question(s): (I'm running Salvage1.1) Does the camcorder's high quality setting = 720p? And is there a way to get the combination of 8mp and 5:3 without the use of a 3rd party camera app?

Yeah and it kinda sucks for me at the moment. I'm on vacation in DC and I want my pics/video to be the best quality but I can't be sure with the stock can.

i always nand back to sense for photos and video. Actually just did 2 hours photo comparisons with my IT people because I need good pictures this weekend too and they think the stock 2.3 camera pictures look better than the sense pictures. They then went into a rant about the differences in dpi, photo size, sw filling in pixels, and other stuff. I learned nothing, but the 6mp widescreen setting in options on 2.3 are pretty good pics.
In terms of video, the 720 on sense does look a lot better than the 480 on gb. Their opinion was "carry a camcorder" if you want good video and plan on making a dvd or something. That became "if i want a great steak, I wouldn't go to Ground Round, I'd go to a real steak house". I found that offensive because ground round serves mixed drinks in the big cups.
Love to hear other's thoughts on the cameras as well... told you I learned nothing

So the high quality setting on stock is 480. Darn, I really don't like having to switch ROMs when I'm away from home but I might have to. Ill take a look at the video I just took and see how it looks.

There are reports of way better video quality on salvage mod then on sense tho, especially with audio. The audio on sense sucks total ass im gonna see for myself and run a few tests.

Umm yeah no test needed it's alot better with salvage by far

So quality IS better? Im just wondering if the stock cam on salvage allows 720p recording.

Did you run those tests yet? Compare decks and cm7 too. I would do it but my vision is a little blurred

my findings
just tested out numerous video and camera files from all different roms using teamwin HDMI mirroring on my 52" samsung lcd. The AOSP videos and photos DO look better even though they are labelled with lower resolution. The aosp 8mp and 6mp wide screen photo look much better than the sense 8mp and the aosp video is much smoother, sounds so much better, but will leave a little strip of black on the sides, but not much.
I'm finally convinced that i don't need sense anymore, thanks to you and Labatts

Just realized AOSP is without the facial recognition. But that's really no big deal. Thanks for the input

How do you switch between quality settings (6mp and 8mp) in the camera app in CM7-RC4? I don't see an option in the settings.
Sent from my CM7 Evo using XDA App

On most aosp roms tap the 1st icon on the screen while in the camera app and scroll down to the picture quality section. You should have the option there.

Wow! This whole time that section.is scrollable! What was I thinking?!? Thanks for the input!

How is the CM10 camera so much better than the stock TouchWiz camera?

Coming from the One X, I could never really give up the Sense rom's because I enjoyed the camera so much (and tbh, the whole interface)...
But anyways, from the day I picked up the GS3, I realized how horrible the low-light and motion pictures turn out on the stock camera. When using flash, every picture had a horrible blue glare over the whole picture. I was pretty disappointed considering how well the tech sites rated the GS2 and 3 camera.
tl;dr.......One X camera >>>>> CM10 camera > TouchWiz camera
Is anyone else seeing the same problems i see with the TW camera?? Anything to help fix this? I enjoy switching between Touchwiz roms and CM10, but for now, I'll stick to CM10

Bro,
The one x camera is the best camera by far. It's comparable with some real cameras. As for the gs3, it's an okay camera. It's as good as the hardware...cm10 or TW won't make that much of a difference. If you are concerned about the camera stay with the one x

and what exactly is touchwiz/ benifits, also could i see longer battery life and perhaps enhanced performance? stuff like that? thanks

You'll probably see a bit smoother performance due to the lack of bloat... but i don't think it'd be anything astronomical. Battery life could possibly be better. The downside is you seem to lose some functionality with the camera. Last i checked, the camera in CM10 doesn't have any of the Burst Shot modes or any of the other modes the TouchWiz camera has, nor do i remember it having that lag-free shutter we all love.

ok, well i think ill stick with what ive got for now, im happy with it so far, got somewhat jellybean lol and it runs alright, and camera is kinda nice since it does take Alright pics,
so right now i suppose i dont really see any actual reasons to root this sucker yet

Yea.... i've tried the CM10 nightlies (thought not for a while now).... i've tried ParanoidAndroid.... i've also tried Task & Ktoonsez AOKP ROM... but i still seem to always come back to Aristodemos. Though now i'm thinking about installing CodeName Android to see what it's like on the S3, since i liked it on my Atrix 4G.

I believe the camera on cm10 now has burst shot. Not as good as stock but its an option. I have tried a few jelly's, cm10..AOKP..The one thing that does ruin it for me is camera. Love the stock camera.

no bloatwares and more customization applied to pure jelly bean rom.

AOSP(or any other vanilla android) camera vs Touchwiz Camera

I just saw that OMNIrom has finally been available for d3att and im quite excited about since it has multiwindow(one of the few things that keeps me locked to touchwiz).
But i was wondering is the stock camera a downgrade? I have read reports and discussions saying the stock camera is much more inferior to the touchwiz camera.
Besides the obvious benefits of having the newest android build, better battery(what i heard), and less bloat(although i usually just titanium them away), I would like peoples opinions on how else does stock compare to touch?

It depends on what you define personally as a "downgrade". Obviously because Touchwiz is proprietary to Samsung and not available for devs to port to their AOSP based roms, you're not going to get the fancy bells and whistles that come bundled with Samsung's camera app. However, I don't think it's fair to call it a downgrade if you're speaking merely in terms of picture and video quality.
From personal experience I've found the stock camera on most of the AOSP 4.3 based roms to be just as good in quality as Samsung's app. 4.4 based roms still have to work out bugs in the stock camera app so I wouldn't try those first. Find yourself a stable 4.3 based rom like CyanogenMod 10.2 or Quantum V2 Final and try your luck with those.
If you find that the camera lacks features you found yourself liking from the Samsung camera app, I suggest finding a good 3rd party camera app such as Camera Zoom FX. It provides just enough features that make the camera a pleasure to use while also retaining great picture quality. It has settings that allow for full 100% jpeg quality whereas some may limit the quality to 80% or less.
Hope this helps, I know how hard it is to find a straight answer since a lot of this depends on your own experience and observation but hopefully this leads you in the right direction.

thanks a lot for ur answer. like im quite sick of the time it takes to upgrade anything by samsung. i never knew that some apps would limit the size. but anyway ill wait for the 4.4 to be a little more stable first. ill definitely make the switch once i gte word that samsung wont support NA S3s anymore,

[Q] CM/AOSP Camera Quality vs TouchWiz

I'm debating whether to flash AOSP/CM.
Has anyone done any tests comparing the camera quality on the Android Stock roms VS original TouchWiz camera app?
I'm trying to examine the ups and downs of moving from original TouchWix roms to something more close to stock.
Camera quality is an important aspect to me.
Many thanks.

AOSP camera is pretty darn good, but I don't think it 100% comparable to Touchwiz. Why not try it and see if you like it.
I run AOSP because it is SOOO much faster then Touchwiz.

I'll go with AOSP, yes it's more faster and better

Aosp is better also they have a camera called snap, I found the download in the forums, picture quality is great, you can record video in 100fps in1080, no 4k tho, and no slowmo, if you find a slow no camera app for aosp please inform me
