So I have this GE Smart Series T145 digital camera. Not a bad little device for the price, but the software in the camera could use refining. For instance, I can change the shutter speed, but it resets to default after every picture. It would also be nice to create and save my own presets, and have other features a simple rewrite of the gui could enable.
Of course, I could spend $500-1000 on a real camera that would have those features. Just wanted to know first if anyone has heard of any less expensive cameras that have user made roms. There doesn't seem to be anything for my model, not even a firmware update.

Is there a smartphone or PDA with a camera that would allow photographing of pages of books, or parts of pages? The image needs to be good enough so that once I pull it up on my desktop, I'd be able to run OCR on it. What I really need is a contemporary version of this:

I played around with a Nokia E90 in macro mode, but ended up getting either fuzzy full-page images or very small parts of the page in focus.
Anybody have any ideas? There must be someone else out there doing exactly this.

the camera on the tilt and i think any phone with auto focus and a enough enough resolution 3MP+ should get u going.
I second the Tilt. Without the cover http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=339. The camera is extremely good.
The issue of lighting and making sure the page is completely flat remains however.

Go to Check My Camera Phone and check the scores. Of the HTC models listed, the X7500 scores the highest. (My personal favorite non-smartphone, the i-mobile 902, has the highest of them all but that's hardly surprising as it contains a real Sony 5 MP CCD camera module.)

Hi Guys,
I'm delighted to be a member of the Forums, and am very keen to ask you guys a few questions. Do any of you use smartphones for digital image editing, if so what is the best phone, software, OS, etc?
To use smartphones for digital image editing? Do you think its display is small?
Well first of all for any major editing I find phones are no good for it. Small screen bad controls etc. But for small edits you could use a app like this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iudesk.android.photo.editor or something else like it.
I don't use my phone for imaging editing. My main camera is a Canon EOS70D. Which means I require Camera Raw and the real version of Photoshop. Not to mention that my RAW files are 500MB each...
But for regular pictures taken on a phone, there's no app better than Snapseed. Google bought NIKsoftware, the company behind the extremely popular (Amongst professionals) Photoshop plugin NIKefex. Then made a free version of it for Android.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.niksoftware.snapseed
It's not an Instagram-like app, but rather a more professional tool; you have to do all the tweaking (light, blur, colourbalance, saturation, etc) yourself.
As for which device, I recommend something with a big screen and high-end hardware. You'll need a MicroSD slot as well if you're going to juggle larger files.
The 5.7" high-end Note 4 is an excellent option. The Spen is an additional bonus to the big screen, because it allows much more precision and control when editing. Very good canera, too.
Or the 6" Nexus 6 if you don't need a MicroSD. Bigger screen, vanilla Android, good specs.

Hello,
does this phone support the Camera2API module? I frequently use OpenCamera and FilmicPro on my Honor 10 so I was wondering if I can do the same with Honor 20. If possible, could someone send screenshots from the 'Camera2 API Probe' and 'Filmic Pro Evaluator' apps?
Thank you.
Ok, so I got ahold of this phone and I tested out what it can and can't do regarding these functions. The result are are not terrible but not great either.
Camera2API
Here is the full report from the Camera2 API Probe. It's hard to read compared to the Android app, but here is my summary: It supports resolutions up to 48MP. It supports manual exposure (ISO/shutter). White balance too. The biggest caveat: no RAW support. You can't shoot in RAW with 3rd party applications like OpenCamera. Manual exposure works, you can also use the wide angle camera with manual exposure controls.
FilmicPro / OpenCamera
Here are the screenshots from the FilmicPro Evaluator app for all of the cameras available. In this case most of the features are supported. The EIS works only up to [email protected] though. You can't shoot 120fps videos with third party applications. The biggest caveat - no Cinematography Kit (aka LOG profile) support. I'm guessing this is related to the RAW format compatibility but I don't actually know. Same goes for OpenCamera, the color profile setting isn't available for video mode. Also, the EIS doesn't seem to work on OpenCamera for some reason.
(here starts the rant)
Honestly it's not bad (better than the P30 for example) but I don't understand why they disabled the RAW shooting option. I don't actually understand why they would limit the API at all for a phone at this price range. Especially when my Honor 10 (which was relased 1 year earlier) has this option. My guess is that it messes with their ****ty marketing gimmicks like 'Ultra-sharp 48mp mode' etc. This phone is good, but Huawei always makes a lot of specific enhancements with their software, and thus the options for customisation are limited. It's not a bad thing for "regular" customers that don't care about features like this, but I think they should allow the enthusiast to do their thing if they want to. It's going downhill since they stopped giving out bootloader unlock codes. While Huawei makes good phones, I feel like they are going more the closed-up iPhone way, and unfortunately this isn't something that suits me. I'll probably look somewhere else for my next phone - something like OnePlus (if the situation doesn't change).
If you have any other questions about the camera, or phone in general, feel free to ask.
Hello everybody,
Only inquisitive to be aware in the event that it's feasible to change the default camera an application is utilizing? For instance, on my Xiaomi Mi 9T, it involves the zoom lense in Google Meet, which sucks as I truly do introduce stuff by means of Camera and really would like to utilize the super wide lense. Unfortunately, Google Meet doesn't permit to switch the camera utilized (other than from front-camera and first back camera)
Is there any application/Magisk module/setting to change the request for the various cameras so that applications first utilize the super wide lense?
Much appreciated
