I disagree, I too had an iphone 4s. IMO this camera is just as good, with more features. But to each his own!
Ive taken several pictures and videos. I think the camera is great and super responsive. As soon as I touch the shutter button the picture is already taken and in my photo gallery.
The zoom on it is fairly decent too.
Maybe we could use this thread for people to post what custom settings are working for them. I hear the camera needs a little adjustment out of the box.

I just wish it had hold to focus like the Galaxy Nexus (it was there in early and later versions, but gone after one of the updates). It worked very well. I like to be more in control of the focus. But the burst mode kind of makes up for it. I don't use it much but it could be pretty handy.
I love this camera as well, but I will say the focus is a bit of a problem. Any slight movement and focus is gone and it has to try again. Great for stills though

Seems like it has a tendency to overexpose especially when outside. May need to keep it at -1 on exposure.
I'm pretty happy with the speed. No shutter lag at all! The Note would have motion blur sometimes in direct sunlight.
The quality, when viewed on a pc, is very good also. Still need more time to play, but I'm a pretty happy camper right now.

Thanks for the tip. I noticed it kept refocusing while i already had my daughter in the center of the frame(of course three year olds move a lot)
I took about 150 photos yesterday at the Highline in NYC and can definitely say the camera is awesome. Nearly as good as my Canon S90. Have never had an iPhone to compare, but my iPhone owning friends were very impressed.

I thought my Note took better pictures, but it may have to do with auto focus and anti-shake on the the Note.

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

Hello,
How are you? I am considering a One S, but the camera is an important feature for me, especially in regard to image quality.
So, with that in mind, I would like to know how is the camera on the One S, in regard to the lens and sensor. Is it exactly the same on the One X?
Thank you.
Cheers

The GS 3 camera isn't better, in some shots, it is, however, in other shots it isn't, overall for photos, they are more or less the same, neither are far better.
The S (and X I think?) struggle with bright reds a bit though (become far too over saturated and you just get a glow effect, have to reduce the saturation by one level when you are taking a photo of a red petal etc.)
1080P recording is far better on the GS 3 though, the light metering and smoothness is great when compared to the one S/X. However, the stereo audio recording sucks (unless it has been fixed recently?).
The 2 things, which are far better on the X and S without a doubt is the camera UI and features.
Whilst both the X and S are the same for camera, the 1080P video recording looks smoother and better on the S and I think the photos from the X look sharper[some have said that the S photos look sharper] (although there isn't a big enough difference to worry about)

I currently have a galaxy note. But I am a bit tired of the big size. I would like a phone to be able to handle with one hand.
Has such, I am afraid the One X might still be to big.
So I am eyeing the S.
The price difference is just 50 euros here between the two.
I would also like a better camera because I am leaving my camera at home more often and relying on my phone camera...
So? Is the one S a good choice?
is the camera an upgrade from my note in IQ and low light shooting?
Cheers

I own a One X (obviously) and actually the camera doesn't impress me all that much. The constant auto-focus actually drives me nuts. I use my phone for low light video/pictures all the time and the HOX struggles at focusing in low light and with video constantly goes in an out of focus. So far the best low light video performance I have ever had with a phone was my Atrix. Beat every iPhone, SGS2, One X, Incredible, and a couple other phones.
Burst shot is pretty cool though.

The One X camera's biggest feature for me is how quickly it starts up. Typically I'm using my phone's camera to capture something spontaneously and quickly. When I had an iPhone it was impossible to take a picture in less than 10 seconds. The One X is ready to fire away almost instantly.
I saw an article on either Engadget or Gizmodo the other day where they compared the iPhone 5's camera to the GS3 and the One X. The GS3's camera produced superior photos to the One X and was about even with the iPhone 5. It wasn't a great test, but in the limited test they did the GS3 beat our beloved One X.

I've been wondering about the camera quality of different HTC phones. I've used a desire HD, Sensation 4G and a HTC Vivid and all those had 8mpxl snappers , I've ordered a one x off ebay and it too has a 8mp camera, (camera in One x is loaded with features though) Are there any real difference in quality?
I've been using xda for over a year and today I thought why not be part of the community. So here I am,
Don't you remember what HTC kept yelling a few months back?
Pixels don't matter!!
But seriously, you should notice a huge uptick in photo quality in comparison to those devices listed. I believe an HTC device that comes close, but not to par, with our camera is the HTC Amaze 4G, a little while ahead of the devices you mentioned.
Here's the HOXL thread for community contributions of their photos, you'll find these all over XDA likely in their specific device forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639324
I'm guessing with the more popular international HOX, there's a way more active thread that you can use to aid your comparison.
Also, here's a comparison thread between the Sense camera and AOSP camera I started a while back, in case you're interested.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943160
As I have stated in various threads the HOXL has one of the worst cameras I have ever used. The color balance of the stock photo app is terrible regardless of how you set it - the skin tones are either too red at the default saturation or too gray one ticket down. There is NO happy medium, with the exception of blazing sunshine outdoors. You can make passable images if you either tweak the colors after the fact, eg with the mobile version of PS or with a photo app that gives editing options immediately after taking a shot. And the front camera is worse than useless unless you clean the lens at least once a week. I seem to be in the minority here, yet most people I would send pics to would tend to make similar comments.

Your opinion is definitely in the minority.
@OP
I've owned 2 of the phones you mentioned and the One XL camera is definitely an improvement. It does have some minor issues with low light and some indoor lights but it's still easily the best phone camera I've ever used.
The camera is good no doubt. But I miss using the image sense chip. Until there is a 4.2.2 version sense, I will not cone back. The updated stock camera app and frame work is awesome. However the generic android camera app is good too. In my opinion I think sense has the edge sense the software is built around the hardware obviously. That's just me though. But to non-photographers like me, the camera will suit you just fine and your draw will drop.

certainly it belongs in the top 3 which makes me think why other sites namely phonearena ignores the video recording aspect when they rank phones in terms of camera, anything to make the iphone rank higher
Great outdoor camera, i find it pretty crappy in low light without flash. Pics look almost cartoon when zoomed in.
OT:
I didn't want to open a new thread for such a small issue. Did you guys check the new Note commercial, looks great to me.
Why no off-topic thread for GN3? Should be there somewhere, I just can't find it now.
Having the 1020 ( and my wife still uses the Nokia 808) and the Note 3 the results seem pretty legit.
I don't know why they included the 1020 on the test, Nokia is 2 generations ahead in this field. There is no way to compare the 41mpx PureView sensor to the other sensors in the pack ( 6 lens optics by CZ perfectly augments the sensor resolution). Most of them are Sony BSI and the difference in IQ is 90% made by software and 10% processing power. For now, nothing is worth comparing to 1020/808.
Note 3 takes good pix on daylight, but on the other hand, it's almost useless at night. For the functionality of the Note 3 and its sector, the camera is the best out there no question asked.
Iphonearena thinks otherwise. They have placed iphone 5s on top.
