10x optical zoom lens for Arc

As I'm about to order it, I wonder if SO has it, or have used it, because I have some questions about the quality - is it blurred or blackened around the corners of the pictures, is the zoom adjustable, or 10x fixed. If anyone has sample photos I'll be thankful - with and without.
I don't know if it's OK to post the link to the shop, so just pictures. You know it anyway...

Did you end up ordering it? I'm curious about your experiences with the lens.

I'm waiting for it to come. But the idea was that i could see if so used it. Not a single sample foto on the whole net...

I think this is a stupid accesory. Better to spend the money in a camera..........

Yeah. I can buy a phone for 20$, a laptop, dslr, video camera and a watch. Why do i need a smartphone with a stupid accessory, as i can have a trailer loaded with things tbat do almost the same...

I've bought one, I'll post some photos during the week =)

i bought one for my X1 a couple of years ago... it was garbage from day one. very impractical. the lens wiggled on the plastic phone case and so the build quality is just what you expect.
your $20 is better spent on a real point-&-shoot camera if you want the zoom capability.

any progress here? Just curious

DealExtreme usually get their hands on new products first. So if no one has bought it from DX, no one else have it.

here are pics using the lens [=
i got it after waiting 7 weeks for it to arrive from DX to usa.
its very nice probably more for outdoors which i havent tried yet but here are pictures with and without so you can see how it zooms in at 10x. the only downside is that you cant control the zoom its 10x fixed.
i zoomed in on the picture with the mushroom [=

[REQ] turning this into an android wallpaper

I love this wallpaper but not too great in photoshop. was hoping someone would be willing to take the apple logo,and make it an android watermark and take out the writing on the bottom left corner. also if you can me them into separate pictures like a lock screen and home screen it would be nice.
Thanks in advance if someone take it on.

I am a 10 hour drive from home so I'm not going to promise I will have it done tonight, possibly tomorrow or Friday, it looks like a quick touch up though

I have my senior pictures being taken today but after that I think that I can probably do it! To be clear, you only want them separated, the signature in the bottom left taken out, and the Apple logo on the pot to be taken out, right? Nothing done to the image on the right except separating it from the left?

The picture itself didn't fit in the 720x1280 dimensions so I kinda had to either stretch them or resize them and cut off certain parts of the picture. I'll make changes if needed when I'm able to

Anyone find the camera lacking sharpness compared to the s4 in low light or with flas

I love my s4 camera and thought moving to note 3 would give me the same experience but it's not. It seems in low light or at night when I use flash the pictures are not as sharp. On my s4 I can see good details when I zoom in like being able to read small texts or pattern on a fabric.

I dont have an s4 to compare to but I agree that the photos are not coming in that sharp... I wonder if we have defective devices? my note 2 takes better shots.

It's been noted in reviews.

Just noticed it mentioned on some reviews. I think the problem is so minor to samsung that they won't bother doing anything about it.

It seems that most models are missing a night mode. I can't find it anywhere on the T-Mobile one, so I assume that it's missing on here too. That would likely help quite a bit.

Samsung removed the separate toggle for it on the note 3 and implemented it into the "auto stabilization". But that doesn't help my issue unfortunately.

Here's a sample. You can see that on the note 3 it can't pick up the surface details on the plastic bezel compared to the s4. This is a zoomed in portion of the actual image.

Taking level panoramic photos with camera

I've tried on various occasions to take some landscape panoramic photos and they always end up dipping in the middle. I know from the thread for photos by Pixel it can do very level panoramics but I can never get it to work. I line the dots up and stand still rotating my body to get the shots.
Is there a technique or am I missing something in the camera app I should set? Would appreciate any feedback that helps me improve the photos I take.

Care to share an example? Are you following the recommended way to take it by rotating your phone on the same axis and not your body? It's a little awkward but you can get some great results.

This is what I meant by the recommended way to take it.

use a tri-pod. very rarely will they come out great when doing it by hand.

No tripod and came out fine. With practice and good technique it can happen more often than not.

I cannot upload a photo, keep getting a 500 error. Image the horizon as a line goes ------___------.
I do rotate my body, but from posts it looks like that may be the issue. Rotate the phone seems the advice. I'll have a go this weekend and see how it goes.
Thanks for the feedback people.

Working here, definitely rotate on phone axis, rotating around my body also causes imperfections

Thanks for the feedback, doing it properly (move hand, not body) has improved my panoramics and I'm getting consistently level horizons.
Next time I should read the "Tips" when displayed

No editing

Is this on the latest update

Really liking the macro, even though most people say it's lacking compared to the S21 Ultra.

Like this one a lot. A lot of odd colors in the image and it balanced it well (the green and magenta in the backdrop).

I'm quite impressed by a quickly taken nightshot (on a fast moving train, approx 80km/h). OxygenOS 11.2.2.2.

Ultra wide

I just got my phone yesterday and i'm now testing how well it performs. First impressions is that yes it can perform very well even in dim lit situations. As i always shoot RAW this one is shot as such using the Pro mode and then processed in Capture One Pro.

Pics are really looking great! Can't wait to get the device...

One more shot, this one from inside a local church. Shot in RAW and edited with Capture One Pro. There were so little noise i didn't even bother to remove it, just a bit of sharpening and keystoning to straighten the lines and then the usual adjustments with exposure, curves and shadows & highlights adjustments.
/ Magnus

Would like to see some pictures of faces (with stock camera app). With my op7t, I was VERY disappointed with the pictures of my kids (with the OOS camera), very blurry and smudgy. Switched to GCAM and totally fine.

What setting you used? The hand artifact looks weird. I understand it is because of the movement (or a hand of a ghost of dead movie producer?), but how the hell it created this weird edge/highlight is beyond me.
