So the rollout for the premium suite has started in the UK at the end of december, i didnt get it yet but i did realise that some of the features of it have been on my phone since the JB update, those features are "smart rotation" and "low light camera". I'm not sure but i thought low light camera has been on my phone for quite some time.
There were a couple of Premium Suite features that made their way to the GS3 with the 4.1.1 update. Not any big ones though.
Alright, can't wait for the full premium suit!! hopefully it wont have to go through carrier check

Page buddy is a also a feature of the premium suite we received. I wouldn't have high hopes on a quick full premium suite release here, leave it to the carriers, they will slow it down.

I'm not seeing a low light camera option in my stock i747 camera settings in 4.1.1. I only see the option for taking "night shots", but it sounds as though you are describing something different.

hahaha you guys crack me up!!! I lve in canada but my sister lives in Miami and those 2 pics were 48 hours part. The second picture is me coming back to the great white north and realising that there was a sh*tload of snow and that my 2nd car was was left outside and was stuck in A LOT of snow so i had to use my VW to pull it out!
Why i posted those pics is really how the low light mode takes great pictures without flash, in the upper picture, the only light is from the tiki hut and the pool, as in the second, the light is from the lights on the wall and the 2 lights on each side of my door.

I seem to remember there being an issue with pink spots in the center of photos in some phones. I'd take it back to the store & exchange it if you're within your 2 weeks, otherwise call T-Mo & see about getting a warranty replacement.
too late to exchange? If not.. I dont know why you're still online and not in the store lol

it's too late i have had this phone for a month now,and just noticed this problem ,
been distracted with the faulty screen (vertical lines and blobs) for that issue i had to send the phone to samsung repair,
and now i have to deal with this issue,I don't even like to use this phone anymore !
so disappointed with samsung
so Does everybody think that it's a hardware problem ?
I just found out that the 1st device i got which i had to exchange because of the screen blobs had the same camera issue(pink patch at the center of the picture)while i was reviewing the pictures taken by that phone !

That's the white wall with Auto everything, no flash under fluorescent lights.
the reddish picture is no flash with fluorescent setting for white balance.
The one with bright spot is auto everything with flash on a white wall under fluorescent lights. I think the problem is with the software tries to adjust the white balance.

Try the miui cam.apk on your phone and see if it makes a different.
i just performed a test and think others should try this. I noticed you guys took a pic of a white background or wall so i did same thing regular lighting no flash, and aimed at the wall i also seen the pinkish spot but as i panned my phone around it would fade away then come back as i panned. so then i took a still shot with flash off and had the same result as op. then i did the same thing with flash on and no pink spot at all. so i definitely think its a lighting condition that makes our phones show this weird shade or color. more light = no pink spot. but its weird cuz it seems to only happen on lighter backgrounds like a white wall and such. because that is the only time i ever noticed this anomoly. and ive took a **** load of pics of my 1yr old boy, and girls

The key difference is this camera issue can most likely be fixed in software, but the blobs/lines is probably a hardware issue.

That first pic is beautiful.
I'm still getting the hang of moving while taking the pic... It does a really good job of stitching the pics together, but sometimes I notice that things will get a little skewed, particularly if the camera's at an angle.

yeah it is really hard to not move too fast or jerk a little, especially in -40 degree weather with no glove on (so you can change setting to panorama, focus, and start the picture).

*****UPDATE: January 12th, 2013
I have re-uploaded a few sample photos from last July/August of 2012 taken under STOCK Ice Cream Sandwich on Samsung Galaxy S3 i747m
I could not find many of the original photos on my phone SD card since my old SD card was corrupted. Also because of this, the re-uploaded photos are not in the original size, so preview size only.
================================
Cropped and slight color/saturation change on the phone, and because of that, the EXIF for all my sample images were stripped...
No tripod was used, but I tried to be as steady as my noodle arms allowed me to... (*Note: Anti-Shake is Turned ON)

UPDATED:
These are unedited photos, straight from the phone from walking in park today:
NIGHT Sample and Lower Light Samples (LED FLASH is turned OFF, and auto exposure):
ISO1600
ISO500
ISO80
-----------------------------------------------
COMMENTARY:
The camera is not too shabby, definitely an improvement if you are upgrading from a Samsung Galaxy S1, but not too much from a S2..
Large aperture does show a little bit of DOF due to tiny sensor, but not a lot, unless you do software edits. DOF will be better if taking macro shots with macro mode..
Performance in the dark is not too bad, but still suffers from A LOT of noise at iso1600. Using this thing at night time is probably not recommended especially out in the open where the LED flash is useless. Using during sunset and early evening, the GS3 i747m performs fine.
For some reason, all the sky during the daytime seems to be overexposed... (UPDATE: All BLUE colors are not very saturated and bright blue colored sources tends to be over exposed...) I suppose this is software.. Software editing or future update or custom ROM can probably fix this..
Auto focusing is not the fastest in the world, but gets the job done (well only in nicely lit areas lol)
Clarity of the optics seems alright, but not the sharpest I've seen on mobile devices...
The viewfinder On-Screen seems to be the best ones on mobile phones right now... The speed and smoothness of the camera panning is shown on the screen. There is VERY LITTLE SCREEN to SENSOR lag on this device.... This is a key to make the Galaxy S3 i747m's camera a winner... Hopefully more mobile manufacturers can incorporate this...
Update:
Nightshots without LED flash, autofocus is broken, and the focus is completely messed up.. Touch to focus, it is hard to get the green box on the focus.. If you do get the green box, the focus is broken... I tried to touch to focus at night, it says green and focused, but the viewfinder is a blur...
Shots from low light is nothing to write home about.. At iso1600, the pictures are very grainy, and without the correct autofocus, the shots are almost unusable on a standard computer monitor or even 4x5" prints..
Indoors with a single 40W light source seems to perform better. At iso500, the door picture seems to retain most of the details, with a bit of grain..
In the second indoor shot, there is a single table lamp in a dark study room... The auto iso at iso 80, most of the 2B pencil marks are visible at full resolution (click on thumbnail), and even the objects in the shadow or with darker colors, the noise remains at minimum.. At about this light for indoors, the camera performs pretty decent.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Post your sample pics edited or original..
Give some of your opinions on the camera quality...

I voted average because i'm on cm10 and the focus isnt working

I like the ocean clouds... There are soo many variations..
Is your photo edited in any way for color or contrast?
If not, then the colors and the contrast from the dark and the ocean looks great... I wonder if it has to do with the stock ROM...
S3's camera will do good in daylight or in bright areas. However during low light situations its very sensitive to camera shake. I wish my hands are as steady as a tripod.
Yes it was stock. The thing with the camera is the fast shutter. It was easier to hold the phone in landscape to get the picture. I took a couple but that one came out perfect.

I think this is a pretty neat app. The basic premise is you take a photo (presumably of something cool or pretty) and it gets sent to a random person. In return, you get a random person's photo from somewhere in the world. I've gotten photos from Paraguay, Russia, Oman, and all over the States.
There are some annoyances. Primarily among them, (for me) is that they have a touch to focus feature, but then when you click capture IT REFOCUSES. Almost always poorly. I'm sure it'll be smoothed out soon though, the app is only a month or two old.
And I may just have my mind in the gutter, but my first thought was "I'm going to get a lot of pictures of genitalia". Not the case! First of all, there's a nice flagging feature. That I haven't had to use yet! I don't know if there's a screening algorithm, or if they just aggressively block flagged users. Or if smartphone users are just pretty darn classy. Mhm. I like that last one.
Here's a screenshot.

Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
... I don't know if it's that much better. I think the app relies on the auto focus that LG implemented in the camera code. It doesn't do anything but call the camera.takepicture() method. Maybe placebo effect, or the fact that the picture is in a smaller circle?
These don't look very different to me.

Interested in hearing impressions of the device as a physical object. Any obvious manufacturing issues so far? In particular, is anyone seeing evidence of the screen-related problems that plagued the previous model -- screen lift, spongy screen, creaky screen?
i exchanged my first one today after i noticed specks of particles under the screen that was very visible. 2nd one is fine though
It is really snappy, feels better in the hands than the last gen. Feels a lot more solid and there are no weird creaks or jiggling parts.. The screen is fantastic looking no issues at all there and the processor is more than fast enough for anything I have thrown at it so far, mostly just games so far.. I can answer questions if you have them, actually have two of the 32gbs and 1 16gb in the house now and none of them have any issues.

Issues thus far after first automatic update during initial boot, didnt update yet the second time after initial boot...
GPS was not working at all no searching icon at top left corner of screen. No gps apps would detect gps... had to follow set of instructions on the web for the same problem with galaxy s3 phones after jellybean update. finally after the tablet decided to make the gps work and download agps data and satellite info, it works every time now and finds the sats..
When using rear camera outside in direct sunlight, pictures/video and the screen in the camera app flickers, even during taking a picture or recording video, only happens when facing the direction of the sun and its the brightest it can be outside, seems like a digital aperture issue with the lens (hardware) or software issue with android 4.3(stock camera app) or a problem with F-stop. Also after awhile of this happening the screen turned green in the camera app and pictures did not come out. had to reload camera app and fix that issue.
So far on my Nexus 7 2013 with the first update but not the second I am having these issues. Fixed the GPS(crossing fingers) do not know whats up with the camera and software but will do a system update to the second update and see if I have the same camera issues... Also will try 3rd party camera software! The 5MP shooter on back does record 1080p video!
Occasionally any kind of audio event will fail to play - I've noticed it on most events such as lock screen locking, and touch sounds. It doesn't seem to affect regular audio playback that I've noticed. I can't reproduce it any specific way but it does happen. I don't know if it's an issue with the sound drivers or OS itself or the device. As I had to exchange my original N7 once for a speaker that started popping within the first few months of ownership, I hope it's not hardware again. I think I'll just unlock it for now before I load too much on it and see how it goes with stock.
+1 for the audio issue I think your talking about! Audio has been fine in everything on my nexus 7 2013 except in bike race older version, I was playing and its like the audio samples would play and not repeat instantly so the bike revving for example audio would turn off while the music played, and or vice versa. So far have not noticed that issue in any other games or software or xiia music player!
I'm so damn glad I'm not the only one with crap under the screen. my first had dead pixels.. my second has a piece of something under the screen that makes it look black, so I can't tell if it's dust or dead pixel.

If I recall at this amount of time into the launch of the first nexus 7 there was a lot more complaints. I know I had to go through 3 before o got a good one.
The new 2013 is great for me, I can't find any flaws.
