Ok, so I have a samsung vibrant and loved the phone, upgraded me and my wife to the new 4G and noticed the camera quality is horrid. Its like night and day, in good light or bad light the 4G takes horrible pictures compaired to the vibrant. Compare the two side by side and you will see. Im so mad. Anyone else have this issue? Oh and dont get me started on the ffc quality. useless. My wifes same resolution MT4G ffc was awesome compaired to this crap.
My cameras work fine on both the Vibrant & the 4G. Yours might be defective? I will play with them again tomorrow now that you mentioned this, just out of curiosity.
I agree, I dont like the camera quality of the front face compared to the mt4g at all, also you can't switch to front face in yahoo video chat, oovoo, or camcorder mode unless using qik, the mt4g had no problem switching to front face at all

as far as the rear camera quality, i found that my vibrant 4g came set on a very low resolution from the factory, check the settings in the camera and make sure its set to 5mp.
My camara quality is great!! My bro has the regular vibrant and its just as gd. My ffc pictures are great 2 if the lighting is gd but if its dark the picture sucks but that's cuz it lightens it up. You must have bad phone
I just tried to video chat with my brother who was sitting right next to em in a fairly well lit room. His video came through nice and clear, from his Iphone 4 and mine was extremely dark, I couldn't even see myself. We were Both on Tmobile 4g, is anyone else having this issue?
Yeah I know this FFC very bad and crap.

yeah do they make an international iphone that works on tmo or something?
the ffc is not hot but I didn't buy the phone for that
Iphone 4 has a VGA cam too. So it shouldnt be much different.

same issue
i was having the same issue. overall it is not just video chat, but in the camera application itself the FFC is extremely dark compared to my MT4G. made sure that all of plastic is removed as well.
it seems a simple software update could fix this. the rear cam is perfect, but there are definite issues with the FFC on this device.
We need some sample shots. I beleive the ffc is dark in video chats, because the back cover is covering part of the camera and when compare to my Epic 4g, the ffc in the epic is much better. light is much better.
The sensation's ffc has higher mp than epic's and the iphone, but it seems it hasn't been built the right way.
Some of you are happy with the ffc, it might be that some phones ffc is closer to the ff camera hole in the case.

I can tell you that the above is not my case. I have taken the back cover off and had the same problem. Same darkness where as I was using the MT4G and never experienced this. The one thing that does make it better is changing the settings in the camera app however this does not carryover to video chat programs like Tango, etc.
Going to extremely bright rooms does help solve the problem but overall it seems more than just the cover issue you speak of.
wow. if that's the case, then it's really bad, but how come others are not complaining about this. some even compare it to the iphone 4? I know the iphone 4 ffc is better than the Epic 4G, and my Epic 4G is better than the Htc Sensation I have today. What's going on with this?
You can adjust the settings on the FFC...in the "image adjustment" selection
I've not been having any problems. But I do live in the UK, maybe the US Sensation has different software for the FFC?

Correct in the camera application, but these adjustments don't seem to carry over to video chat programs.
My FFC is definitely dark compared to my MT4G.. I can't even see myself in the low light like I can on the MT4G.
I have to second this issue. The FFC is simply underexposed, especially compared to the iphone 4.
turn the lights ON
Not having any issues with my FFC. Seems decent quality for VGA.
It's really dark. The one on my iPod touch is so much better in the same situation.

Makes me look like a shadow in mid to low lighting. Also had an almost orange like hue to it. Needs to be fixed. I doubt they will address this issue in any update though unless we raise hell about it.

The FFC is crap. It does have a toggle for more or less light, but that's about it. You will do best if you are in a well lit area - lots of soft light on your face and not much light in the background. The camera itself doesn't give you a lot of leeway.

Seriously, I have owned this phone for about a week now, and I flat out forgot the HTC-S had a front camera.
Thanks for the reminder.
Current Phone-HTC-S 4G
Previous-HTC Google N1 (Will always keep it)
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

Anyone have issues with their Nexus 5's camera having different colours in the viewfinder?
My room has a reddish/pink tint from the neighbours roof reflecting into my room.
Attached photo was taken with my iPad

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

Happens in stock app/Facebook/Instagram/VSCO cam, I just took this particular photo while I was in Snapchat.
Maybe those apps have poor auto-white balance

I take lots of fast action snap shots/videos of my 2 young kids. For this purpose, how do you rank the cameras in OPO, N4, N5, N6, MotoX (both 13, 14)?
Other suggestions are also appreciated.
I've owned an iPhone 5, 5S, HTC One M7/M8, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Note 3, and the OPO. The OPO has the best camera in my opinion. I took a damn good macro shot today that blew my mind and my coworkers mind today. I haven't done any video yet.
I almost tried all of that because im working in an eletrodomestic shop but OPO still the best..
Waaaait you're saying the O+O has a better camera than the HTC M8! Man that's a tough call. I've seen and used the M8 and its duo ultra pixel camera takes some of the best night pics I've seen.

Alot of people say OPO camera is the best etc....and then you got those people saying even Moto G can take better pictures at least in low light.....
I get it that RAW pictures can be edited and made perfect, but smartphone is not about RAW, its about shooting in Auto (Clear, HDR, Auto modes etc) so shooting decent/good pictures in all light conditions is important.
The Snap Camera beta version takes really good low light shots when the noise reduction filter is applied in the app.
