Camera quality in ICS - HTC Sensation

Hello I have an evo3d and my hand its kinda itching to buy the sensation.
The 2 reasons are the weight and the camera quality, pictures I mean cause any way I'm not using the video.
I was reading the forums and they were saying that also the sensations camera is not the best and the pics are not good even if it has the 8mp cam. The size of the pic is also small which means that the compression is high.
My question is ... Is any of this changed in the ics... Are the pics better? Is it worth it an extra 100e the upgrade?

i found sensation camera better than s2, atrix and optimus 3d ( other than galaxy S, desire, wildfire/s but these are inferior phones )
There are several way to not compress quality and soon we will have the amaze cam on our ics roms
got an absolutely good macro and very nice video rec
these are compressed photo @6mpx widescreen ( stock htc camera no effects or modification )
third is resized

Sensation cams are good.You have different options of what you want in a cam like the rom you want to use or the mods devs make for cameras. example like the modded amaze cam with blue ray quality.. great cam. I have no complaints about the sensation camera. Check out the forums under Sensation and have a look around to see what people are saying about the camera or the mod add on packs etc.. good luck mate

Thanks for the answers.

[Q] HTC Sensation Front facing camera

One thing i just need to put out there because it's frustrating me how people have this confused the htc has a 1.3mp camera NOT and 0.3mp.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69FaV6xnfvg
Proof if you need it.
Edit: Sorry people I posted this before the Sensation was actually released. Turns out i, as well as the person in the video, was mistaken. It is, as you no doubt know, a standard 0.3mp VGA camera. Sadtimes for all... ):

Indeed!
But if you know how to use proxy server/IP address you can view it.
Ontopic:
Nice to see it's 1.3 Mp!
can't see ......
Huh?....
I can't view your video but I don't really care what some tech blog site says. The FFC is VGA. This is according to every major electronics site, including htc themselves. Not to mention the quality on our ffc's just looks god awful like a VGA.

There is no way this ffc is 1.3; at the very least on the T-Mobile USA version. Sorry to break it to you but it is just as crappy as ANY other VGA camera.

It's a 640 x 480, which equals 0.3MP.

My girlfriend who's not tech savvy in the least bit loves to point out the flaws in my Sensation ie: crappy ffc as opposed to not as crappy on my G2x, the phone heating up during normal use, the loose power button (on my last Sensation) and my current crooked volume rocker, creaky right side, erratic battery life, texts that may or may not come through. The list goes on but I still enjoy the phone. End rant.

3d and slightly more ram but the evo has 5mp camera compared to the sensations 8mp. Personally I think 3d is a bit of a gimmick and the sensation is a better looking device.

Reviews of the EVO 3D say it lacks the lag that the Sensation has but battery life, like all WiMax and LTE phones up til this point, is completely lackluster.

damn straight! the evo 3D sticks to HTC almost-tablet styling, where as the sensation has sleek curves is is significantly lighter.
3D is 100% a gimmick thanks to movies like avatar and dark knight, the nintendo 3DS is proof of that!
I think your right looks wise the sensation wins thanks
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
not only that, but for the price/hardware/capabilities, i think the sensation wins all categories...pending unlock :/ and from everything ive read lately (A LOT, bored working midnights ) the evo3D will recieve bootloader unlock first (considering it was supposed to be BUIB [Bootloader Unlocked In Box]), but when the sensation gets it...whooo boy, watch out!
As for lag on the sensation, i have barely noticed any. Installed launcher pro heaps of Homescreen widgets and its still slick as you like. Multitasking is a dream!
Zero dust either!

Lucky! i have dust, but im on the fence about returning cuz i just sold my HD2 and have no replacement :/ i still use sense 3.0, loving the 3D UI since it was ported to the HD2, and it isnt slow at all, just dont load you homescreens with every htc widget available!
The absence of lag on the EVO 3D is a good thing for the Sensation! I don't believe that it is caused by better hardware but by software optimization! This means that we have to expect the same performance on our sensation when it gets future updates!
The difference is basically more RAM/better FFC on the EVO and a better rear facing camera/1080p video recording on the Sensation. The Sensation also has an aluminum unibody while the EVO is mainly plastic. In the end, it's up to the user to decide which features are more important.

The EVO 3D has 1GB of RAM versus 768MB in the Sensation. That certainly contributes to a lag-free experience.
EDIT: aNYthing24 beat me to it.
Hold both phones in my hand side by side the EVO 3D doesn't feel nearly as good in your hand. Amazing what a few fractions of a MM make, and the way the bodies curve the Sensation feels about 1/2 the thickness of the EVO. The Sensation just dissapears when you put it in your pocket. You can feel the big slab of plastic of the EVO in your pocket. Function wise they perform about the same for me. More RAM is always welcome.
quit making a big deal about ram! yes more is always better but if you owned a hd2 and seen how smooth it ran android then you would know that the ram that the sensation has is more then enough. unlock bootloader and stock android, or an OTA updates is going to do this phone justice! i would stick with the sensation as its just a nicer looking phone!

I bought an EVo 3d a few days ago, and the 3D features were cool, but not cool enough that I'd make it my full-time phone. One advantage it has is it always has 200-250 mb or more of available memory, whereas the Sensation normally has around 100mb.

If it's not software related can you explain to me why the sense 3.0 port on the DHD runs smoother than on Sensation and EVO 3D ????
I love the design of the sensation but i feel they could have made it so much better by copying the evo 3d a little.
I personally love a dedicated camera button so seeing that on the evo 3d and not the sensation was a little disappointing.
The placement of the charging port is a little more than frustrating when trying to text or even play with the sensation with 2 hands, i like how the evo 3d is located at the top instead of the bottom.
Another little annoyance is the over 200mAh difference in batteries between the two devices. Im sure like stated before they decided to go with a bigger one on the evo due the the battery drain of sprints 4g phones
Obviously these LITTLE things arnt that big of a deal as i would still choose the sensation over the evo 3d again and again

It's no gimmick. It's actually a pretty damn cool feature. I thought it was a gimmick too but HTC really did a good job making the first stereoscopic device. The green hornet in 3d looked pretty sweet.
edit: the big difference to me is the size. The E3D is huge...I mean heavy as in Thunderbolt heavy. To some that's a good thing to others its a negative.
I did the same thing. EVO 3D is IMO head over heels faster than the Sensation when i first tried it out. The 3D i thought i was gonna ignore it because i thought it was a gimmick too, but i ended up freaking loving it and taking 3D pics left and right. The front frame is also made of metal so it feels like a tank and i feel better knowing i have more ram also to help with the futureproofing.
What i do miss are the data speeds, Sprint sucks at this since i dont have wimax where i live and 3G speeds are embarrasing. But my bill is chraper so whatever lol

While I don't know any features that the MT4GS camera has over the Sensation camera, that's not even the main difference. It's simply a higher quality camera that takes better pics from what I've read.

MT4GS: focal length 3.69mm, focal ratio of f/2.2, which is amazing and makes it good in low-light.
Sensation: focal length 4.31mm. Unknown/unadvertised focal ratio.
MT4GS also has a Back-Illuminated Sensor, as does the HTC EVO 4G and the iPhone 4.

If you don't care for the extra features of the camera on the MT4GS, (geez that's a long one) then just go for the Sensation.
I went with the Sensation for the all of its 4.3 in. glory, so if screen size is something your looking at, don't go with the MyTouch...
"Internal" spec's are relatively the same and I am pretty sure the Sensation is going to have much more dev support then the MT4GS.

The only thing I ever use my FFC for really is face unlock and honestly, once you set that up and snap a few shots of yourself in diff lighting, etc. It recognizes you almost IMMEDIATELY. Also, I take some shots of myself with my ffc every now and again when I'm out and about... In bright natural light it looks pretty good. Look at it this way too, the iPhone 4S has a 0.3mpx ffc as well.
I agree, the quality isnt that bad if you have good lighting. Cant expect too much from a phone almost 2 years old

Iphone 4s camera is better then the htc you could check the mod made by nodo in the developement section...
Sent From My Sexy Sensation.
There isn't much you can do except run your photos through filters and stuff to make them look old fashioned. Bottom line is that the sensor on the iPhone 4s is much better than the Sensation's.
Outdoor photos usually come out pretty good when there is lots of light. But once inside you will get grain in your photos do due to the small sensor on the Sensation.
