The front camera seems to give really grainy pictures along with some color distortion. Are you guys experiencing the same with your front camera?
Me too
I think I am facing a similar issue. Here are some samples from my phone. can you/others upload some samples from their front camera ?
I think it may depend on the lighting in the room I have had perfect pictures and grainy ones with the front camera

is it just me?
it seems that the front camera quality is better then the back camera ,
i know that its less MP, but yet
or its just my tf?
me too, the front camera's picture is clearer and less grainy.
I was coming to this forum to comment on the camera. The little window that protects the camera on my TF is dirty as hell. Could that be the situation for you too???

Even fresh out of the packaging, the rear camera still is grainy as all hell. FFC isn't AS bad, but still grainy, and still looks better than the rear camera.
I find them both equally grainy...equally crappy. One of the only things I'd change about the Transformer...put a nicer camera in it. You can have nice pics come out of a 5 MP camera, look at the iPhone..
If the source code was released maybe we could fix it if its software related I mean it is a 5mp camera after all

Megapixel count is not indicative of camera quality. The image sensor is much more important. I had a 4 MP point & shoot that would blow away my iPhone 4.

This. Sensor and photodiode size is a much bigger indicator of image quality (albeit not the only one) than is the near-worthless megapixel. Cellphones, tablets, and the like generally use sensors not much different in size to a grain of rice. Couple that with the fact that many use partially or entirely plastic lenses, and you have the answer for why their picture quality is near-universally awful.
To give you an idea, the typical area of a camera phone sensor is 4.32 square millimeters. Most fixed-lens compact cameras typically have a sensor with an area of ~25+ square millimeters, and interchangeable-lens cameras are typically in the range of 225-370 square millimeters. That difference is a good indication of just how little light-gathering potential a cell phone cam has.
Same spot, same conditions (light, weather, location) and the back cam is grainy, the front camera's pictures look better!
no the back camera is clean.
Well, the Front camera is certainly brighter but not as focused as the Rear.
my camera is amazing on both sides, crystal clear quality, although at first it was grainy, now its very clear

"At first" and "now"? What's changed? Tablet exchange, using different camera software, or something else? Camera's don't get better with age (the opposite, actually), so it'd be interesting to know what you believe has made the difference. Or are you simply shooting in better lighting conditions now?
I find the video is fantastic though

I have taken some very clear pictures and videos with the rear camera with good light of course. My front camera is no where near as clear as the rear camera. Makes me think something may be wrong with your device if the 1.2 mega pixel camera looks better the the 5 meg rear one.
Hi All,
I'm currently running the latest EB rom and I noticed my video camera quality is awful. The picture is choppy and is no where near HD. My HD7 5mp camera shoots better video and takes better pictures then my 8 MP G2X. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Not many people understand about the camera quality, The higher the megapixel does not mean to the camera quality is better, It is all about the camera sensor inside the camera and that we cannot fix.

That's sad to hear that it cannot be fixed, I figure with such a high end device that the built in camera would be better.

Camera seems perfectly fine to me. Takes nice pictures and good HD recording.

I believe the issue to be software related when it comes to this particular device. I remember the camera quality being much better on Froyo when we had LG's camera app.

Our phone had the best camera out of about 50 smartphones. It's just the battery door which ruins most pictures.
Its because there is no fix for cm based roms with the cam. Try a stock version rom and its perfect for video recording however the lighting on the stock seems to be lower than cm's versions.
I went through this hassle and gave up because I need cm more than the cam lol
Nvidia always!

I hope you know the number megapixels has nothing to do with image quality.
I don't know how much technical stuff you do as far as flashing and everything; if you can do it, flash the Bravia Hack in recovery. It's not a night and day difference, but it definitely helps.

Take a picture then take another without the back on the phone. Compare them and you'll see that the plastic window on the phone's back cover interferes with picture quality.

As the owner of two G2x's one with Froyo 2.22 and the other with Gingerbread 2.33 I can attest that the Froyo supported camera is definitely sharper, clearer and truer color than the same camera under Gingerbread. That being said, if you take time to setup the camera under GB for the particular lighting i.e. fluorescent vs. incandescent etc. it has a pretty darn good camera but still short of the sharpness and clarity of the camera under Froyo. Also advisable to get a good micro fiber cloth to wipe off the grease and oil (that comes from your hands), that inevitably gets the lenses all smudged up. You can really notice that effects the lenses by just trying to get a good bar code scan. Won't do it 'till you wipe the lens clean. If the OP wants a sharp camera more than better functionality and stability from Gingerbread, he could try to revert to Froyo 2.22 and that should give hime a nice camera and a pretty decent smart phone.

Which 2.2 rom are you running? Sod or overheating issues?

Just install LG cam 3.0 through clockwork mod,requires root but its the best camera app for GB in my opinion. It has built in panoramic and stitches them together very nicely and lots of settings!
I also find the camera under exposes in indoor shots. I have to manually set the exposure to + 2 to make it properly exposed.

I'm running EB which runs based off of CM7. I don't think the LG camera is compatible with CM7 roms. Can someone confirm?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
you need a lg gingerbread rom for the lg cam
it will not work with anything other than the lg gingerbread roms
I actually just removed the plastic lens from the back cover cause how much it interfered with video in sun light... its easily removed and with any strong glue it'd be simple to place it back on. Very noticeable there was a thread open back in may about that subject where I posted the shots with and with out the lens.

Yeah I put that thread up, I removed the glass on the back of my lens too and there's a huge difference. (less foggy, crisper colours)

From what I've read the LG cam does not work flawlessly with gingerbread. I heard there is a few bugs.

I know this has been discussed before but for any one in disbelief, the glass over the camera lense really does hurt the picture quality. I modified/removed the glass (yes its actual glass so be careful) from the battery door and now I am loving my G2x even more!!!
I took test shots in low light and was more than pleased.

I want to figure out a way to drill/cut out a hole in the glass, so we won't have to completely get rid of it... Just the part covering the camera. This would look so much better.
My front camera low lighting is terrible. My girlfriend with her iphone and me with my hox did hangouts at the same location. Her video feedback looked great a lot of light. Mine was so dark. Can this be fixed through software increasing the exposure?

its whatever camera app that you're using, thats not the stock camera app. try using the default camera app.
Isn't that snapchat? Anyways mine is perfect on snapchat
