Camera - LG Optimus G (International)

Hey,
In what country's is this phone delivered with a 13mp camera? And is it better than the 8 mp camera?
Also, is it better then the camera in 4x HD?

The Sprint version has 13mp.
It seems the 8mp is at least as good or better in terms of quality of image. There are some comparison sites where you can see the difference if you do a Google search.

I haven't tried taking pictures of anything like this yet but all my quick shots are fantastic. Way better then any other phone. They look as good as my cyber shot digital camera

it looks amazing
Nice! I played with the ion yesterday in a corp store and I love how moving objects aren't blurry, major issue with my htc aria and iPad when snapping shots of my kids.
Another pic. The mp's make for some CRAZY detail w zooming in. Lovin It. eb

I really like the camera, especially the way it handles shots taken in low light. And having the dedicated camera button is a major plus as well.

camera performance with other apps
has any one tried using camera 360 app or something similar?
am considering buying this phone to use on t mobile usa but some reviews undermine the camera (gsmarena for example)
i get better pics in the auto mode from camera 360 app than the stock camera on my x10i with stock 2.3
so maybe if that's the case then there might be hope for it to get better with updates

The ion takes great pictures, I'm still wondering what those reviews are talking about.
I want to be cool too!

you do realize that the Aria was released in 2010 and the Ion was released in 2012 right?
Hmm, don't believe everything u read & hear.

honestly, the pictures taken by ion aren't as good as those by x10. pictures by x10 are clearer and they have more realistic colors..
same object but the one taken by x10 is just clearer while they both get the right focus point and under same settings (except that 12 megapixel on ion and 8 megapixel on x10).
also, a simple way to tell which phone takes better pictures is to take a look at the lens. larger lens will definitely take better pictures. appearantly, x10's camera lens is larger than ion's.
the only good point for ion is that its focus and shutter speed is super fast, so you can hardly get any blurry pictures
finally, compare if you don't trust me, but remember to view pictures on larger screen first

I wonder how many people were aware that greater megapixel count don't necessarily equal better pictures. Hopefully ppl did research before purchasing this phone.
But I will say that the colors are much better on the ion and quality as well. Also it takes much better pictures at night when compared to the x10, I was surprised since the ion is horrible under this condition, especially when compared to the current wave of phones.
This is a picture over at lax

Camera tips?

I'm getting horrible macros on this camera, it might be just that I'm used to the htc amaze's camera. Any tips to get overall better pics I'm on aokp
Only thing I miss from the Amaze is the camera......
You need to play with camera settings a lot to get better results with this camera,.and even then pics are not a good....

Yeah that's the only thing I miss about it too I was looking to find maybe a camera app on the market that could maybe make the images come out better

Have you guys tried UCam.. its a good camera.. I use it a lot.

I don't think it is the software as much as it is the camera that is the main complaint. My wife has the HTC Sensation and the camera is loads better than the GS II. We both upgraded same time, that first night we were out and took pics with our phones and her shots are by far better than anything I took on my phone and this was out of the box without changing any settings. Her phone excels in night shots where mine looks super pixelated.
Htc cameras are the best around. I find using procapture to be best at macro shots. I think there was a discussion on this awhile ago in the themes and apps section. There was another camera.... But i forgot which.. Oh Wells I stuck to procapture, but night shots still suck.

This camera might as well be a 1.3mp camera. My 5mp HTC Hero with no flash took better pictures.

EDIT!
I rate it 8.5/10 the only real con is the camera is not on par with other phones. Everything else is great.

Mega pixels don't equal camera quality.
They only have to do with scaling.

I still enjoy the camera quality better than any other camera I've ever had.
The camera is pretty good. I think where you will find some issues with it will be in low light or very bright situations. The thing is that the camera does not compensate very well for low light, and bright light washes out the pictures some. I like the camera, and it has taken a lot of really good pictures for me, problem is that it has also taken a lot of really crappy pictures for me. The inconsistency is frustrating, but that said, it's better than either my Motorola Cliq (oh yeah!) or my Samsung Epic.
I have learned how to take pics with the camera. I am still not 100% happy with it in the fact that I cannot pull it out and snap a pic. I have to clean the lens, open the camera app then touch to focus and then snap the pic. If I skip the touch to focus then 80% of my pics are blurry. Really sucks but since I have been doing the touch focus step I have been getting way better pics.
The camera is great for a phone. Anybody who says otherwise uses superior equipment or simply doesn't know how to take a good picture. Now the front facing camera, there's no helping that. Makes things look melted/blurred.
Thank you guys for following the topic.

With _Epic's camera mod, the camera is great.
Stock ZVB camera sucks.
With AOSP, it's even worse.
Has anyone found a way to prevent the flash from massively blowing out the resulting photos? It seems way too bright and the software does a terrible job compensating for it. My Evo LTE did an awesome job with flash photos. I'm on stock rooted ZVB with Epic's mod.

same for me. the flash just whites everything out and is complete garbage.
Good question. The flash worked great before the jelly bean update, but now, I'm not so sure what they were thinking.

I have found that the setting on the camera really changes things. Out in Yosemite I was taking pictures and some were really ****ty and others great. The biggest things that made a difference were touch to focus and then changing the mode. For instance last night none of my pics were turning out so I set night mode on, wala, great photos. Then we were taking landscape pics and they were alright, changed it to landscape and it was much better. But changing the white mode or scene or whatever to sun really helped too. Its just amazing how bad the auto settings are cause once you play with it, its a great camera to me.

LG G2 camera results

Sent from my LG-KU5400 using xda app-developers app
looks like the camera still sucks
A pity, really.
If they could just double the pixel size (thereby reducing the resolution by 4), they'd have a sensor with great light collection and improved dynamic range that doesn't produce 3 blurry 5MB JPGs every time I want to snap an indoor picture.
I mean, the camera on the LGOG is unparalleled when it comes to its macro focus abilities, I've toyed with an S4 and HTC One and they can't seem to focus very close at all, but there's only so many closeups of flowers during the summer before one reaches a macro saturation point.
How about this?

[Q] HTC SENSE CAMERA or something better

Hello Community,
After having my nexus 4 for several months I have decided that the camera sucks tremendously compared to HTC Sense Camera. My biggest gripe is the lack of a great rapid shot like on the HTC One S or X. Is there anyway to get that camera ported over to the N4? IF not, any other camera apps out there that are worth a shot? Ive tried some of the ones in the play market but they are just a bad.
The HTC camera ist just awesome. The n4 one isn't.
Don't forget do downsize the picture to 4 MP / 3 MP on the nexus 4 that speeds up the camera heavily. If you use focal you can achieve a quite high speed, but the quality isn't that nicely

Remember that what makes camera quality on a phone is not only the build but also the guts of the camera. HTC has a great camera because it uses a camera sensor chip created by HTC. You can't just port over the camera and get the same quality. Graphic quality on s camera has a lot to do with how well the megapixels interact with the sensor itself. Sony, HTC and Samsung have all used a specific set of chips allowing for crisp clean images. LG prob didn't include a great sensor on the N4 so that the price wouldn't be so expensive. I mean phones like the HTC One, One X, GS3, S4 and Xperia devices run at 500$+. Remember our phone was priced at 300.

The stock camera is just horrible, but I noticed that the MIUI camera is very good with our N4, very crisp picture quality and UI is nicer.
I also found the Moto Camera to be better than stock camera, the photos it takes are much more focused and are just generally better.
Have you tried Focal App? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.xplod.focal&hl=fr :cyclops:
This is the camera I have on my nexus4 more or less the same the HTC one

I have to get over it I guess. The hardware is not to par with my expectations and experience with HTC camera hardware. I really like my N4 but miss my One S camera. Thanks for the feedback and suggestions guys
Just get the n5 I hear the camera is gonna be really good on it

I used to Have HTC WildfireS and when I flashed cyanogenmod rom the quality of the photos decreased (same for other HTC devices my friends have (the flagships not cheap like mine) so I think the HTC framework as a whole plays a big role in the quality. But again you need someone to port the entire framework of the camera and the camera (which is hard to impossible ?)
