I'm just saying..... All the hype about the camera and it's so so..... My iphone 4s still tops it. Hoping they update the focusing software.

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.

I sell phones and a family came in wanting a smartphone with a good camera I points to the htc one x.
They ask how do I know about the camera. I pulled my phone out and showed them this
Afternoon some debating between the HOX and the sgs3 they picked the HOX for 5 lines.
I asked what made them pick the HOX over the sgs3?
They said the sgs3 feels to light and cheap and the HOX feels like a solid phone.

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.

Sent from my HTC One XL
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.

Just wanted to post a quick comment. Recently my mom picked up a gs3 via vzw for $49. So i finally got a chance to play with it after reading and hearing all the hype. As far as quality goes, u obviously know htc feels better, the gs3 has a very yellowish tint to the screen. Now before i get killed for beating a dead horse THIS really shocked me. For all the beating that sense takes, i think its light years better than touchwiz. It doesnt even feel like ics or jb. It feels so much heavier and bloated compared to sense its shocking. Going back and forth, going thru menus, etc, it is obvious that sense is a derivative of ics and even jb. It stays true to the color schemes and overall lightness of the ui. Imo people need to appreciate sense a little bit more bc touchwiz was awful.

Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
I agree for sure. I think specs tend to dazzle people. The SGS III is a VERY nice phone, no doubt, and I'm sure an aosp Rom would be pretty gratifying. But the screen isn't as nice (pentile) as the one xl and sense ui is really hard to beat.
I'm really happy with this phone and don't regret the choice at all.

PowerAMP with Beats Audio, and Google Maps Navigation, JB overall is awesome as well, but stock AT&T Rom is kind of disappointing, that's why I rooted
The only thing that's strange is Google Voice comes up with an error message when setting it up but still seems to work, it says my Voice Mail service is "My Carrier" instead of "Google Voice" no matter what Rom I am on, this did not happen on my Inspire 4G

I bet most people are, it has a lot of tweaks, more tweaks then any Rom I ever tried on DHD, well I tried ViperDHD but it was a little slow, but I can see why, Its not as powerful as the One X, Viper XL runs so smooth and stable though, I didn't used to like sense to much but Sense 4+ is really nice, I wonder what Sense 5 would be like

KingBeatZ audio mod with stock Beats. When I get a new phone eventually, more than likely I'll keep this phone and use it basically as an iPod because music just sounds fantastic. And ViperXL 3.2.1 is just pure amazing, but everyone knows that by now. And don't even get me started on the screen.
Dislike? No expandable storage or removable battery. Also, 1 gig of RAM isn't a whole lot.
I have always been a big fan of sense but sense 4+ running on viperxl is just amazing. Its mostly the flip clock that I like. The time,date,and weather are all there in a very neat readily accessible place on the home screen.. Battery life is excellent about 20hrs for me. And the camera and screen are about the best I have seen on any phone in its class. I had just bought a camera before I bought my phone but now that I have my phone my camera stays in its case. Hadn't used it in about 6months now.
I would say that there isn't much about this phone that I dislike, except maybe the lack of removable storage. I don't have a whole lot of big file such as music on my phone so 10 gigs is plenty for me. Also I've heard that with removable storage its easier to attain s-off

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?

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.
