Does anyone know if the camera is actually that different from the sensations or is it just a different camera app?

Couple diff lines in the script for the no shot delay, and the panorama shot. The camera has been somewhat ported over in our apps section. Some people report it working, others can't get it to work.

The slide has a better hardware camera. It has a f2.2 aperture lens. Basically it can let in more light. HTC says its the best camera ever on a phone which I say is BS. They probably forgot about Nokia's Lenses. They make the best camera phones.

Try this: open camera, take a picture, and when pressing the back button to exit the camera put your ear close to the phone and can you hear a little "click"? I can hear it from my device, and as much as I can tell, it's mechanical, not from the system or any software.
This doesn't make sense unless there are moving parts associated with the camera hardware.
yes....i can hear it... and it was there in my DHD too... something related to camera lens hardware.....i feel so
I heard it in my previous phone too (SE Vivaz, piece of ****, but the camera was awesome! (Also 8 MP)) It's something with the camera hardware (probably)

Have you never used a non-mobilephone camera in your life? It's simply the camera adjusting focus, or rather resetting it when you close the app. Older phones can't do this, the Sensation can. There is effectively a mechanical movement.
It happened to my Dell streak too. It 's not a problem I think.

Its the auto-focus relaxing
Happens on all HTC devices since the diamond
hello everyone.
i'm an x10 user and i'm planning to buy a sensation this sunday.
about the sound u hear is due to the camera auto focus relaxing and i have the same thing on my x 10. try getting someting hard to focus on with the phone'c camera and u may hear it trying to fucus and sometimes feel it as in my x10.
cheers

Hi is anybody elese having problems with the camera in macro or auto focus. In that it will focus then go out of focus when you press the shutter button. So far it is just 8mp of digital rubbish. If this is the best it's going to get I am going back to my HD2 because so far I am far from impressed with it. HTC stop playing worm and leave apple alone and sort this device out.

I would imagine the DOF (depth of field) is very small and the slightest moment would make you're subject out of focus.

Maybe but the strange thing is if I get in in the right position and just tap the shutter button it will hold it, again not ideal. I use the camera to take pictures of small QR codes located on electronic assemblies.

I find that if I uncheck auto-focus especially on macro shots, it focuses better if you tap screen to focus.
Thanks, that is a whole lot better.

Hey guys, coming from the epic I an missing the great camera options it had. Does anyone have a good app they use for pictures? I'm not looking for better output, but options like panoramic and whatnot.
Thanks in advance for the suggestions.
The stock ICS camera app can take panoramic shots, albeit in not very good quality. For a replacement app, I'd recommend Camera zoom FX (was on sale for 10 cents awhile ago). It really depends on what features you're looking for though.

Camera360 another good one. They have free verson
Has bunch features like touch focus
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Camera360 as well here
I use an app called "Pano" for panoramic shots.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
lgCamera is also a good, free alternative with lots of options.
Is there one with zoom, or is that not possible on the nexus a 4G?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
I'm using Camera Zoom FX and Vignette. Both are very good i think.
Both have a Zoom but of course only a digital zoom.
If you don't have a zoomable lense (nexus phones dont have) then only digital zoom is possible, which has a poor quality and you can do better yourself on your computer.

You realize since it's a fixed lens that any zoom will only be digital? Thus it's simply like cropping a larger picture to see a smaller section...
Edit: Didn't notice blackg3cko already mentioned this. My bad.
Has anyone ever physically replaced the camera on the Sensation? Mine won't focus at all. It seems like the actual focus is stuck. Before anybody asks, i've searched for 3 straight days and I tried everything. It just wont focus, it seems like it's stuck on one focus position and anything closer than 2 feet is out of focus. It makes the focus noise but no attempt at focusing.
Is sending it in for repairs an option?
Not really, I can get a camera online for it but was hoping I wouldn't have to replace it.

You can either touch the screen to focus on a certain point or if you point it at an object long enough it will focus on it. My doesn't do that on camera or camcorder.

i also get the no focus on anything up close but focus from more than 2 feet or so works great! weird, im guessing that thats just how it is.
My camera has been having trouble focusing lately. I've tried stock ICS, sense 4.0, aosp. None are good.
Kind of been wanting to downgrade to gb to see if it improves.
Glad to see I'm not alone, although it isn't very good news..

right i wish i didnt root this thing the day i got it so i could remember how stock camera was!
I can't automatic focus while recording too, only by clicking on screen. I have stock rom so i think it's just feature.

No, the camera/camcorder should automatically focus.
Been facing the same problem too. Autofocus for macro shot is not as good as my old htc desire and htc sensation.. strangely, if i try macro using object that has text on it i.e newspaper it works.. I thought the problem is the HQ camera mod, but when i reverted to stock camera, the problem persist. I still yet to try the camera on official GB rom. If anyone tried it I would love to hear the result.
Htc Sensation XE, ARHD 6.6.3
Both are 8mpx, but my friend with the Thunderbolt is showing me pics in person, and sending me pics via MMS, and even those are making my pics look terrible.
I'm using the HD Camera apk snagged from the One S, but even on the stock camera apk, my pics can't even compare to the Thunderbolt's pics.
Why is this?
I would assume its along the lines of "Because the camera's not that good."
I know its not a great answer, but I'm not gonna make excuses for HTC. Sometimes this phone takes great pictures, other times, they're just bland and noisy.
I think the Thunderbolt and Sensation have the same sensor.
