Thanks guys...I think the MT4G camera has gotten a bad rap from Internet reviews. Yes it's not the market leader but it's not as bad as they portray it to be.

i think its HTC's best camera to date (when using 3rd party apps) the stock app compresses way too much

Ditto on being the best camera, but I haven't had too many issues with noticeable compression artifacts from the stock app. I might have to take a second pass on the pics with the bigger display at home.

Holy crap! What camera app are you using? Those look WAY better than most pics I've taken, and I'm anal-retentive about cleaning my lens before pics.

Yes, id love to know as well!

Found Camera 360 in the market and I *suspect* that's what he used. Looks good so far. *shrug*

sorry for not writing back fast enough...i use a combo of Camera 360 Ultimate and Vignette
all set to superfine and max res

Wow Lockeskidney those look really good. Did you retouch them at all with your computer or is that straight from the phone?

i think i resized some of them because i post to facebook (they were 720 wide) but other than that nothing

Low light conditions:

Better lighting:

Can you guys also post up if these are using stock cams, or camera 360, etc. and post up your settings. These pics you guys are putting up are stunning

camera 360 is nice. can't post my pictures yet though

I've taken a few pics of the same scene with the stock app and then Camera 360 (with max resolution/least compression), loaded them up on a computer to compare. For me, the Cam360 pics look only very slightly better than the stock app. I really can't even tell the difference in quality unless I zoom in a bit, and even then the difference seems rather slight.
Has anyone else taken photos of the exact same scene with both the stock and an alternative app to directly compare the difference?

Anyone notice the flash has green hue at the edges? Makes night pictures terrible.
Comparing side-by-side with my soon-to-be-on-eBay Evo, Inspire's flashes have decidedly green/teal hue.
Hoping it's just my Inspire's LED flashes.

Xda always shrinks the quality... Any way to add full size images via phone? I guess upload to Picasa then attach from there instead?

You can try or upload someplace like flickr as well (the phone has this option built into the Gallery app)
The ones I uploaded was from a computer not the phone, so Im not sure if you are able to upload in such a way via the phone however.

same here... i think the camera isn't all that good honestly. The iPhone 4's camera blows this one away

My experience is that the flash is awful with any significant ambient light

Im sure with certain advanced settings within the phone the photo quality can get better.
Also the focus can be manually changed, on my photos like I mentioned there was absolutely no light in the room.
At the end of the day if you want the best quality photos, its time to invest in a top of the line point and shoot camera.

a picture i took a few days ago. it seems like it focus' nicely but when you take a picture no matter how still you hold it you get a blurry picture.

Deadly combo indeed.

I took these just now....

Am I the only one that thinks pictures taken with the ATRIX 2 are a little blurry? Close ups are OK but average distance away pictures come out not that great

Sent from my MB865 using XDA App

Most of my pictures come out crystal clear if i wait for the focus box to turn green which means it's "focused" as far as the the app is concerned. Although, I've had plenty of times where it thinks its focused, but the preview looks like barf. Maybe there's a different focus option for long distance pictures... I don't know. xD

i found that if you tap the screen, it will refocus to where you tapped the screen

Ahh that's a nice tip. I'll have to try that.

Doesn't look that sharp to me, but this seems to be the trend with all the photos I've seen in reviews (don't have my atrix 2 yet). The macro shots can look good, especially the ones that showcase rocks for some reason, but further distance its pretty blurry looking compared to other high-end phones. The colors are kind of drab and probably the most annoying to me is that the image comes up much darker than it should, at least in comparison to other phones (there's several blogs that pit the atrix 2 against the gs2, amaze, etc.), so images shot at noon in a clear sky look like they are shot in a cloud covered day. These are probably automatic settings. Dunno about adjusting it and all that. Wish it would autofocus in video too.

Drag the focus box instead of tapping.

The camera is on par with most of the devices out there, sure there are some better but this phone is just fine. If your taking a picture that you need to scrutinize that much then use a camera not your phone. Personally I bought my phone to be used as a phone with the benefit of having a camera. I don't understand why people buy a device an then scrutinize it to hell. Would you buy a car without test driving it?

Agreed. I think the camera is fine as is, takes nice pictures all things considered.

I didn't have any qualms about the oem app but I compared Camera Zoom FX to the stock app and I gotta admit, I like the results i'm getting with CZFX! It's now my camera app of choice.

Not bashing the camera at all here I was just getting opinions from others about the picture quality from a supposed 8mp camera
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium

The A2 has a ton of potential but there's too much time after you press the photo. Press the button and it takes so long the pics blurred from movement. The oem cam app is lame and it doesn't do good at night. I used cam zoom and it does torch mode for night. Also during the day colors were washed out even in indirect sun light. I really like the camera but the SGS II oem camera app destroys it. The pics regardless of the light are sharp, clean, and overall great. I did however really love the HD recording. Did some really good recordings with zero complaints.

You do realize that picture quality has very little to do with the megapixel rating (size of the picture the camera can take), right?

please tell me more about camera quality !?

Yeah I do realize but in most cases higher MP do result in a better picture. 8mp cameras usually shoot better than a 5mp. But the quality issue probably is because of shutter lag

No, no, no, you got it all wrong. The megapixel rating just tells you how large of a picture the camera can take, the sensor is what determines the quality of said picture. Read this article to get a better understanding.

Increased Camera Bitrate [MOD]

Taking absolutely no credit for this mod, I just wanted to give HOX users a heads up that there's a way around the abysmal 6 mbps bitrate. The mod will increase it to 20 mbps and (hopefully soon) to 40 when the developer releases it. MAKE SURE TO DOWNLOAD ONLY THE SENSE 4 VERSION.
In layman's terms, this will make your video much clearer with higher details.
Also, please take the time to thank the dev for releasing this mod if you do choose to use it. I have been struggling for a couple of days now to try and accomplish from scratch what this guy did, and it's not easy. So, show some appreciation for this guy
Without further ado: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533238

Good spot. Will do a recording without and with the mod to see a difference. Will update later.

As you can see there is no real big difference here. The 720 and 1080p are both nearly the same bit rate. The mod is slightly more but still far from the 20mb bitrate.

Just tried all three (picture while shooting video, instant snap and burst) and they worked without any issues.

Does the recording feel any smoother? Does it actually record in 20m?

Does this increase jpeg quality as well? How big is a typical 8MP (4:3) photo with this mod?

Hi all,
Which rom is compatible with this mode? (currently my rooted HTC one x runs ARHD 6.1.0 but am considering CM9 based roms)...
Appart from that, does this mode increase the fps for videos?
Thanks!

This just worked on CleanROM 3.0 burst photo and photo in video both work

Only sense based is supported, and not the fps just the bit rate so you get a higher quality 1080p

I just installed the 1.5 Sense 4.0 version on my CleanROM 3.0 based ATT One X and immediately notice a difference in image quality. The photos appear less blurry and grainy when a full crop is done in night shots, and cannot wait to try out lighted shots tomorrow. I've been waiting for this mod for the One X since I got it and can't believe it actually works.
