Is it possible to change the compression rate of the camera? I have it on superfine but when I transfer pictures from the phone to the computer it's pixelated to hell. My HTC Hero had better picture quality than this...
Note this is even with Vignette... is the camera sensor just bad?

On my old Omnia the camera could record slow motion video (at a much reduced resolution) which was quite cool and worked reasonably well in good light. Hardware wise the camera on that phone was inferior to the Nexus so I imagine it just needs software to make it happen.
Anyone know of an app that can do this, or a camera mod?
The Omnia can record in slow motion because it can record and 100+ frames per second. This is a hardware+software feature. I don't think the N1 camera can support 100+ fps recording (but I cud be wrong). And there is no app or mod available to try out this...
I have noticed that the camera pictures have very low size 0.5 mb my old nokia e51 pictures were larger... I had one app I can't remember the name, the pictures quality were much greater.. So is there any app that can beat the stock app??

You shouldn't take the size of a picture as a reference for quality. It depends on many factors how big a file would be. Speaking from my experience a wide photo is bigger than a zoomed in photo because it has more details to take in, a photo in a brighter light gives a bigger size, a photo with a lots of details and colors also gives a bigger size. Plus technology is advancing at rapid pace so you can't compare cameras on different devices from different times.
As alternatives you can try something like: Camera FV-5 (emulates a DSLR with many of its functions) or you can try putting on a stock camera from LG Prada or LD O3D Max (normally to have these you must flash a ROM) or you can look at here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1502963 - a thread about camera mods on O3D
I also recommand some other apps that gives more functionality to the stock camera: Fast Burst Camera - takes like 100 shots in about 20 secs - good to make animated gifs, and Lapse It - an app that takes and wrap it up timelapse pictures into a movie.
The Nokia Lumia 1020 has an amazing camera. For years I had Android phones and had a few favorite camera apps I used. The 1020 uses a different system, "lenses", but really it's the same idea I think. To get an effect like pencil sketch, you need to first download a new "lense" app. My problem is that the lense effects ONLY work on the camera and not the video camera. Does anyone know of a lense effect app that works on the video camera? Or one that works in the ultra high resolution mode? Thus far only the Nokia app works in high res mode, and I have found no effects for the video camera mode which leaves me still occasionally using my Android phone. Any ideas?
i really love shooting RAW for edit but jpeg is also important
after 5.1.1 update which enables raw capture i get camera fv-5 app but i'm really upset of its jpeg bad quality in-spite of its large size compared to the stock camera app.
any one had noticed this??? the photos are not sharp at all and feels like it's taken by 5 MP camera

u should report it to App Developers
for JPEG format test this app
Floating CameraW+
>> This is not raw capturing But it just capture the exact view of lens without any extra effect
so on healthy hardware it should take vibrant color and clear view compare to stock app
the full CameraW+ is paid on Google Play Store But If it can help to solve ur problem msg me to send its APK file
:good:

i think you're on to something I noticed it as well. let me know what you find. I'll reach out to developers of Camera FV-5 as well.
Hi all, you might know this already but I just found out and it seems like absolutely great news for this phone. The latest Open Camera update allows you to record video using every camera on the phone. Even the monochrome one works. No need to have perfect lighting conditions in order for the camera to switch between main and telephoto. You now have a dedicated camera button which lets you select what lens to use. Did you get the chance to try it out? I didn't have any issues yet.
Link please

Is the recording quality improved?
I'm not sure. You do have to option to record with maximum 80Mbps but I I find it hard to tell if that is any different from the 30Mbps standard rate. Video looks crisp and clear, colors are very good, especially if you lock the white balance.
Quality seems not as good.. Also can not use Camera API 2, for high res to get extra control in manual mode.
I'm not sure why you can't use camera2 api. For me it works and I can select iso and exposure during filming. I have a CLT L29.

whats your max resolution for recording video using Camera2 API?
For the 40mp lens and the telephoto lens, I have 3840x2160. The monochrome camera however has a resolution of 3264x1840 for video.
Sorry for necropost, but anyone tried open camera for B&W photos? Does it allow exposure bracketing? Raw or at least png for file saving? I would like to try p20 pro just for that monochrome lens...
You can save RAW with the B&W camera but for some reason the pictures appear purple.
