[Q] How usable is the rear camera ? (Upload your sample images/videos)

Hello,
i would like to know how usable you feel is the rear camera ?
Currently i do not own a Smartphone.
Would you say it is good enough for small task like a quick Youtube video or snapshots ?
Considering the small diameter of the sensor 5 Megapixel should be rather ideal.
Analysing the product pictures it appears to me that the sensor is even a little bit bigger compared to most of the Smartphones (I am not referring to the outer ring)
I would be delighted if you could upload sample images (Indoor, outdoor and low light) and videos (720p and 1080p).
A few words about the front camera would also be nice.
Thank you very much indeed!
Best regards,
pootney

Link to origami pic cuz its biiiig

Hello,
thank you for the upload!
Nice Origami :good:
Despite the fact that the room seems well lit there is noise all over the image.
Altogether the quality seems to be not satisfying but i did not really expect more from a Tablet.
Best regards,
pootney

yeah, it's nothing special at all...a simple 5mp camera, really. can't expect too much, but the video isn't really too bad.

Not very good, noisy even outside.

It'll do the job for qr scanners and when you need to take quick picture when your dog decides to walk on his hind legs and your nexus 7 is in your hands

1. Thanks, its one of my hobbies
Spoiler
2. They're normally not up to par like a GS III, etc, cause 'most' people don't use it as a picture taking primary device. Additionally, a better camera would have drove the cost up more

Hello,
thank you guys :good: !
I would be glad if someone could upload a video recorded indoor in a well lit room.
Actually 720p is enough.
This would simulate nearly a trial to record a short Youtube Review for me.
Sometimes the video quality is definitely better than the image quality.
No hurry!
Also would you say that the quality of the front camera have improved compared to the old Nexus 7 ?
Would you describe it as good?
Unfortunately i am limited to 8 thanks per day :angel:
Your contributions are much appreciated :good:

I just wanted to bring up that my S3 took pretty awful pictures while using the stock software, but I installed CM and the pictures and videos I was taking turned out nicely. I'm sure that the same will hold true for the camera on this tablet. I'm especially excited for CM's 'Project Nemesis' in relation to his tablet.

download LGCAMERA from the play store, takes better pictures at full jpeg quality and the correct white levels. Also you can use LGCAMCORDER and set it to record 1080p 20mbps data rate video with 128bit AAC encode rate! at 30fps or higher

Hello,
i was also thinking maybe the camera could be tweaked.
@skyhawk21: Could you please upload the same scene once taken with the stock app an once with the LGCAMERA app ?
I am curios how much it improves.
That would be awesome :good: !
Also now people are starting to upload video samples on Youtube.
Here is a good one:

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the OnePlus 3 come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

can you post some sample screenshots of camera here?

So far medium to high brightness takes excellent photos. I am finding HD much more appealing than HDR in most situations. In low light HD or manual mode must be used to get an acceptable photo. HD works very well in a single 13w(cfl) light illuminates room (low bedroom light level).
Soft fine grain present in photo, but it is not distracting and plenty of detail left.

So I opened the hidden service menu *#808# and went through al the test and when I came at the "optical image stabilizer" it says failed...anyone else has this? Could it be software disabled or is my camera faulty?
here is a picture for comparison

this phone has super hd camera the best thing i like on it

Camera seems to be very compareable to my 6S Plus. In low light the iPhone does a slightly better job, in good lighting the 1+3.
The stabilisation for video is much better in the iPhone.

I got my 3 Saturday morning these photos were taken in the afternoon all default settings

https://goo.gl/photos/eq6HSWoTwRVLCykY7

Important tip for making the most out of the 1+3 camera...if you want to take a good macro, you cannot rely on automatic mode. Switch to manual focus, dial it all the way down, and you'll get insane macros like this:

Here's a few shots I took a couple of days ago.

That pavement picture is my new wallpaper xD

I have both the 6p and the HTC 10 and while the 10 sucks and the 6p is hard to beat I am pleasantly surprised with the op3. It's really good actually. https://goo.gl/photos/RgwFUT3Rwhyt6XJL6

I am using Camera FV-5 and Cinema FV-5. So far no problems with them. Also to my eyes they seem to have better image quality.

I am uploading 2 photos: Direct jpg from camera app, another is edit of the same image in snapseed app(edited jgp, not raw file).
I am happy with the camera quality

When looking at photos other people have taken with the OP3 it often looks like they have a watercolour filter on them when you zoom in due to the image processing, but some other images don't. Is anyone who has the device able to explain this?
Thanks

Really great pics!! ?

my pics

After testing the OP3 and my 6P, the SD820 could be a beast, but man the pics on the 6P are much much better, specially in a low light environment AKA where most pictures happen AKA in your house. I cant say i am dissapointed, its pics are good in daytime and average in low light for a "$400 phone". But not sure I am going to keep it. So if you are planning on dumping your Galaxy, 6P or iphone for this phone, you might want to wait for another one if the camera is that important to you.
Hope this helps someone.

Show us your photos taken with the Mi Mix

Share your photos here in this thread! We all know the camera is the weak link of this phone. However it is capable of taking good images if you ignore the absence of sharpness or accept the heavy noise reduction. Behind all of that are images that generally are well exposed with good dynamic range and natural colors.
I'll start. All photos shared here directly from camera without any kind of editing to give a fair picture of the phone (no pun intended).

I do notice the noise which is a weakness of the sensor, but you have some real talent behind the lens! Some of these images are simply amazing!

Thank you very much! Yeah images get noisy but colors seems to be just fine so I can live with it. The subjects are what matter anyway not sharpness or something although it's a bonus. But it doesn't make a photo "better". It's pretty fun to shot with this camera it's very responsive.

How do u rate it using hdr+ ?

It's really awesome!
Especially if you shoot in RAW and use Lightroom or Snapseed to retouch the photos it can really be impressive.

Pics taken with the hdr+ on and flash off.
Using google camera hdr+ for a whole month and it takes great pics

so it doesnt look terrible. I just got one, coming in the mail soon...I don't want to miss out on baby pictures. How about videos, are they okay?
As asked above, what is the best camera I should be using - the stock one or something else?

I am currently using Arnova 8.1 port and it works flawlessly.
Truth be told I have used its portrait mode on a baby and the results are magnificent.
Imho, the MIUI camera is rubbish compared to what gcam gets from the sensor.

Certainly not as good as iPhone or Pixel. But for a budget phone, this is hard to beat. Portrait mode doesn't always blur the correct areas. Auto mode definitely is noisy and when you zoom in, often a lot of definition is lost.
But despite this, this camera is much better than many other phones. You will not hate this camera. It may not be the best you ever use either though.

Pretty much on the dot... For it price, I don't think you will get any better. For the manual mode, I believe it will beat phone out of this price range as well.

I am having some ptoblems when i try to review photos by native camera App.
Many times the last picture comes above the previews one.
Does anybody having same problem?

Anyone have latest asus pixel master apk for zenfone 3 zoom?

I'm really liking the phone - my only criticism would be that I find indoor pictures are too "warm" (yellow) but I suppose I'll need to learn how to play with manual mode for that. My previous phone handled indoors much better (Moto X Play, not known for its camera).

You can go into manual mode and adjust the white balance.

A camera with potential.
I love the camera in this phone.
Hardware wise it has same or in some cases greater abilities than galaxy s7 edge or iphone 7 plus.
The real problem I see here is software. It doesn't do justice with the hardware. Auto mode is rubbish.
But and the but is pretty BIG.
If you know your manual mode. You can do miracles with this phone.
(Remove space from link to access it.... I am not allowed to add outside links yet.... Sorry for that.)
And for the selfie camera and portrait images I would suggest you to use google camera port drive. google.com/open?id=1IEf-BZQdk_SH3WVG3aev05pdiRpVqW68

Live focus has improved!
https://i.imgur.com/W3dWNlz.jpg

The colours really pop out next to the S9, live focus is great on both cameras, the wide lenses are fantastic.
I'm a little disappointed with the selfie camera, it forces skin smoothing effects and shifts the colour temperature too, trying to make it "pretty" I don't need the AI to pre-edit stuff for me unless I specifically want it to, and there seems to be no way to disable that.

Why HDR+ is always grayed out ?

I can't believe how good the camera quality is coming from a note 9, although it wasn't hard to beat. All photos of my daughter were blurry and looked really bad. On the s10+ they're blur free and also the HDR function works so good, far less blown out highlights and sunny day shots look awesome.
I'm very impressed so far!

Two photos I love taken on my S10+!

I had the S8+ and then S9+ before this and I'm really happy with the camera but in my opinion the low light shots on the S10+ actually seem a fair bit more noisy than the S9+. I'm not talking pitch black but just as the sun is starting to drop in the late afternoon.

Live focus mode.

Exactly, even indoors shots have this "blurriness". Daytime shots under the Sun look fine.

Is there a big difference between the SD855 and Exynos 9820 camera's?

i dunno how you guys are all getting nice pictures out of the s10 + my s10+ everytime i take a picture of my dog.. the fur is blurry looks like a camera from like 5 years ago.. the selling point was the camera for me and so far it looks absolutely like crap =/

@XDA_RealLifeReview have you noticed that samsung is overexposing the front cam pictures which make it look weird and grainy but as soon as u turn to front cam video it appears much more natural and true to life.
But the back cam is pretty damn good!!
Anyway of reducing the overexposure, i have already disabled all beauty modes and i have tried that brightness slider but it keeps resetting everytime.

Beach day!
Not sure why my pics upload that way. I can't seem to fix the orientation.
