There are any "professional" on Photography?

Yes this is related with the camera...
I see a lot of noise on the photos normally, on low light conditions, are higher, and more apreciable...
You can see there, small "box" everywere the photo, like "noise" but more harder!! i mean, the photos looks unreal!
The colors, the "clarity" and the size, that 5MP arent good for any reason, just take a photo on 3MP and you see the riference... 3MP better than 5MP!!
So please any experienced "photographer" can tell me, if that noise is normal because this lens are ****, or just because huge filters and compression.
Thanks

Front camera better then the back 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.

Front camera w/flash seems to produce very blue tinted pics

Anyone have issue with the front camera w/flash producing terrible pictures? My pictures get a very bright blue tint, especially taking pictures of people.
It is driving me nuts. Any suggestion on tweaks or camera settings that seem to work best for you guys/gals?

Not here.. this thing takes amazing pics.. very clear.. I just have a few settings on ..like "no shake" and auto res...

This will happen when taking pictures indoor in which the surrounding lightening is incandescent (warm lighting). The flash emits a whiter/fluorescent flash which will make your picture look blue'ish behind the surrounding warm lighting. The pictures wont look as bad if the surrounding light is fluorescent.
Unfortunately, the way around this is not to use the flash. Try to get as much surrounding lightening as possible and use Auto ISO. Don't forget you can hold down the shutter button to pre-focus so when you release the shutter button, there is minimal shutter lag. Still difficult if your taking pictures of kids that can't stay still, but this is my approach to avoid the blueish white tint from the flash.

[Q] Possible camera improvements?

I mean picture quality, not video recording. I have been somewhat disappointed with the camera so far. Even at 8 MP, my pictures often turn out strangely blurry, or the colors end up being washed out. Are there any tweaks/mods/apps you guys are aware of that may improve the camera? I'm running cyanogenmod 7, if that makes any difference.

Try an app called "HDR Camera" it trends to make pictures better using HDR (High Dynamic Range).

Aren't most camera apps disposed to make low res images though? How many will actually take pictures at full 8mp resolution?

I tried HDR camera before, as well as Camera Zoom. They both support 8MP from what I remember. But Zoom didn't really help my camera's quality, while HDR takes pretty darn long to take a photo. The colors are better, but the photos still aren't as sharp as they should be.
And thanks prettyboy, I'll try the engine when I get home, and we'll see how that goes. From the pictures, the improvement looks pretty significant.
P.S. Happy New Year everyone!

I removed the little glass piece, makes the pictures look better. Especially outside shots.

Poor quality on camera?

I experience poor picture quality on the pictures i take with stock app. I come from a Nexus 5 wich is recognized as having a poor camera and i had better picture on the Nexus. The picture is grainy in both light and dark environment. Colours is washed out. I use the hdr on auto. Resolution on the highest or the one below. I am comparing the pictures on the computer.

Outdoor photos with good light should not be grainy.try to focus better .indoor photos with low light are indeed a little grainy . try and experiment more in different light conditions . the camera is not top notch but for casual photos is ok. You need to spend some time with the camera to get used to it. It is the same camera as lg g3 maybe you can find more info in lg g3 thread.

Do you take pictures zoomed in? Under normal conditions and in the daylight the pictures shouldn't be grainy at all. In fact, I quite like them actually. IMHO best of all phones I've had in the past (see my sig) and it even takes usable pictures in almost total darkness (full moon, no flash).
I don't like the camera app, but that's a different story.

Thanks for your reply.
Do you use hdr or do you avoid it?

I left it to "Auto". IMHO it's quite smart and turns out better pics. Generally.
