How do you rate the nexus S camera?

I am specifically talking about the still picture camera.
When I compare the nexus S with other phones using the gsmarena photo comparison tool, it actually seems like one of the best 5MP camera around and gsmarena says "good 5MP snapper" and they say it's noticeably better than galaxy S.
On this forum(and the rest of xda) on the other hand I have seen many people say that the camera is mediocre. I want to know what do they mean by that? I understand since it's only 5MP you can forget about widescreen photography but how is it as far as image quality is concerned?
Do these people mean mediocre compared to something like galaxy S2 or you think it just doesnt cut it for a reasonably good daily snapper?
I have used galaxy S camera and I found it satisfying minus the lack of LED flash. Will I be satisfied with nexus S camera?

i LOVE my nexus s camera!
i think the people that rate it mediocre either dont know how to use it or take photos with a smudged up lens cover.

seconded. I like the camera a lot

The camera is awesome! we should rate it with objective perspextive. Meaning, do we take shoot with low light? Any camera will not get maximum rrsult out of it.

+1, I found it had better stills than my old Galaxy S. I compared it to an iPhone 4, and it seems to be quite a bit better for point and shoot scenarios.

Ya it really does look good in the gsmarena tool and the photos on flickr for the nexus S. Most people complaining about it must be the ones who think "the more megapixels the better" which is so wrong.

It wins and life and is a bawse. That is all on the Nexus S camera.
. It really is AMAZING though. The quality is outstanding
Nexus S (GSM i9020a)
CyberGR Hybrid ICS (v6)
Eugene's Kernel (Speedy-7)
OC 1100/100 (ondemandx)

It's good, but my pictures would come out better on my old Epic.
Still a great camera though.

As the others have said, definitely a solid camera in comparison to many phones. Megapixels don't stand up to a good lens and sensor.

I'm afraid the people who rate the camera mediocre is because of lack zoom that is instead absolutely useless and destructive. I'm really happy about the camera and sometimes pictures are better of the digital compact camera (Panasonic, 4 years old) my wife uses.

IMHO, its good for indoors but not THAT impressive for outdoors, dont exactly know, i also went for a comparison between the pics taken running CM7 & stock ics. i went to a conclusion that cm7 camera pics were far better than ics(dont exactly know the reason).
maybe the focused-preview and the camera shutter are not calibrated?
anyways..i will rate it 8/10.

I think the camera is great, especially with ICS.

IMO, when taking still pictures, Nexus S' camera is on par with iPhone 4's.
However, based on what I observed, iPhone 4's camera shots brighter pictures than Nexus S'. But still I think Nexus S is one of the best 5-megapixels shooter.

A picture is worth ... well you know the rest.

I find it really goog for a phone camera.
Picture with flash are sometimes too white for me.

It is obviously not as good as SGS2 & iphone 4s, but still fine for daily pictures n videos. No complain at all!

I have never found a phone camera that takes as good pictures as a cheap, decent digital camera, though SGS2 comes close. For outdoor/long shots, the NS is acceptable, but with closer objects the noise is really noticeable.
I used to have a Nokia N95 and I think it had better camera than NS.

S4 camera better than lumia 920 and iPhone 5

The s4 has been ranked second after the untouchable Nokia 808. http://bgr.com/2013/05/24/galaxy-s4-camera-test-iphone-5/ funny enough the over hyped HTC one is no where to be found.
I think our dear phone has been proven to be worth the money once again.

Read your post twice. Still desperately trying to find a sense in it that would justify opening yet another camera thread. Camera still superb at good conditions. And really crap at lowlight and fast moving objects. Shutter speed is pathetic. ONEs video/sound recording also way better. And I tested both for weeks. But wait: that's been basically said on every second page here.

I hate the way reviewers just say Galaxy S4......WHICH VERSION????
They are both very very different!

I think Samsung could do better camera. In low light conditions it is crap, shutter speed is still very low and on 1080p videos you've got tearing smearing with picture zoomed in.

You know, low-light (especially with motion) is the weak-spot of the GS4 camera but we have plenty of examples of high shutter speed images in the various camera threads.
Captures of hose water, kids jumping and so on are "frozen" as long as it's medium light or above.

My low light experience with the S4 is superb. It's able to capture, in night mode, even pictures made in a dark room.
Anyway, use the flash if you in a dark place

I would agree, the s4 really has got itself a very good camera. Im an outgoing person and I take most of my photos in high or medium lights. Its very seldom that I would take pictures of something or someone in low lights. I would use a flash if i really want to capture them with as much detail as possible.
Heres my very first shot of my s4 after i got it out of the box. It was very cloudy thst day. I cropped the fountain area only.

All cameras are useless in low light unless you can control the shutter speed and keep the camera stable. Even high end Cannon or Nikon cameras need a good flash or a tripod to get good results in those kinds of conditions. If you have unwanted motion in the framing then it's game over. At the end of the day, if you can't get light through the lens and onto the sensor, you can't expect to get good pictures. There are dirty tricks that can are employed, such as a high ISO speed, merging images, or a large low res sensor, but at the end of the day you're still making sacrifices with the image.
This low light camera business has become a proper skit for selling smart phones.

Shocked at photo quality

OK so im coming from a long line of iPhones and after getting bored of iOS this is my first venture into Samsung. I took this photo at the club I work at last night and seriously, what is going on here? The flash pics were pretty crap too, finding it very hard to focus after pressing the shutter.
p.s yes i know how to take good photos normally and no there isnt any plastic over the lens.

Sure, tried every mode available! Let me upload a similar iPhone 5 pic, hold on.

I also noticed the pictures weren't what I expected.
They tend to blur quite easily.
I'm hoping a software update will sort it.

It's a 13MP camera, you're either doing something wrong or your camera is bad.

Definitely not doing something wrong lol, you can clearly see its actually a good picture in terms of light pickup its the smearing like an oil painting and thats nothing to do with the megapixels either

I agree with the poster, ive had many phones and by far the note 3 has the worst photo quality ever, im really dissapointed for a ~750 euro device to have such a bad camera. 13MP looks nice in the specs but numbers is not everything.
To me it looks like there is some kind compression on the image, maybe the firmware has some kind of compression method to keep the camera up to speed for zero shutter lag.
Hope samsung will look into this and give us an update in the camera firmware.

Yes you are right, the bright and especialy daylight pictures are pretty nice, but when things get dark or far away they smudge out. You can see it happen in the bottom 2 pictures in that post, the last 2 are obviously lower quality than the flowers for example.

thanks for the link

What do you expect? The camera has a 1/3" sensor, a FX SLR has ~28 times the sensor area. This means that you would need 28 times the light (or time) to shoot a photo with same quality.
This is not possible because in the conditions where your photo was shot you would need a tripod and long exposure (which is not useable on moving objects) to make a photo which has comparable quality like an outdoor picture!
Anyhow, I have the N3 for one day now and I am happy with it so far, especially with the better camera!

Well it does have to do with the megapixels because the more you have the less the typical blur will be visibly apparent as a result of movement, which seems to be the case here, whether that be movement by you or the subject.

It isnt blur, it's the denoise that samsung is using. This is a software issue, among other things obviously. Whether or not they fix it I have no idea.

Until manufacturers either quit trying to outdo each other with more megapixels on the same size sensor, lower the megapixels on the same size sensor (like HTC did with the One), or increase the sensor size (such as Apple just did with the 5s), low light photos are going to have more and more noise. The smaller the pixel, the less light it captures, which results in worse low light performance.

Here is the metadata for anyone interested .. It seems like the camera shot the picture in night mode

does it take images in 16:9 at full 13 mp

I wonder if it can beat S4 and G2 in photo results,all the reviews compare it to M8's 4 UP which is non-sense

No the resolution is 13mp at 4:3 ratio. The camera module is such only.

The M8's 4up camera is not nonsense at all, in fact if you don't look at the resolution, it's one of the best performing phone cameras. The E8's camera is not the best 13mp sensor out there, but it performs really well because of HTC's Image Chip 2. That makes it insanely fast. It's results are comparable to S4, and the speed makes it better. I don't know about G2 though, never seen it.

so at which resolution it can take photos in 16:9 and i have in reviews that it does have a yellowish or pinkish tint to photos.is it true? thanks in advance

It's around 10.5-11mp, I don't know the exact resolution. You have the option to choose between the rations 16:9, 4:3 and 1:1. But it doesn't mention the resolution separately!
Also, there are no yellow/pink tint in the pictures. The come out really well in broad daylight, as good as any picture can get. In dark conditions, it's decent, but not as good as the ultrapixel cameras.

Good Pictures !
These Pictures look great ! I am thinking about getting this phone.

Better pictures with Google Camera?
Hey everybody, could some owner of the E8 test another camera app like the Google Camera on this phone? Is there a better picture quality especially in low light conditions or is it the same quality? I´m still not sure if I should buy this phone from a HK-based shop, in european countries the E8 is not available. Thanks a lot for any answers.

To me it's the same quality - the camera is still bad in low-light conditions. You can use HDR to make pictures look a bit better though.

@crystal_ball: Thank you. Hmm, sounds not very well. I´ve now the HTC Desire Eye, it has the same camera specs than the E8. Often the picture quality looks better when I use Google Camera instead of the HTC camera app. I also think that the picture quality of the Xperia Z2, which I also have here, isn´t better than the quality of the HTC Desire Eye. But after testing so much devices (my smartphone-age began with the original iPhone) from different companies with different OS, I simple guess that nearly all companies simple want to sell as much as possible and that they don´t really care about progress for the customer - in this case about the quality of the camera modules.

Compared to a Nexus 5, is it better? I'm really happy with the camera of the Nexus (incredible HDR shots with all the upgrades of the camera - not the original pics of the initial reviews). I want to buy a E8, but I'm afraid the camera is worst.

Compared to the Nexus 5, it's leaps and bounds better. Way faster, and better more accurate results. HDR isn't that great though, but when I last used a Nexus 5, it wasn't good there too. Or maybe I'm talking on the scale of AMAZING HDR shots, which my One S had. And hence.
I suggest you try a hands on and then upgrade if it meets your needs. Only one thing I can assure you of, it's nowhere near "worst".

The camera is better than the M8 (except in extreme low light conditions). The camera is infinitely better than that in the Nexus 5.. I think the only camera that is better than this one is the camera in the M8 EYE (Among HTC phones that is)..

I personally find the camera on E8 better and more consistent than the M8 Eye. The OV sensor is more consistent in capturing decent images compared to the M8 Eye which has a Sony sensor. This may be my personal view though.

Camera quality review

Dear Xiaomi Mi Note 3 owners I would like to get the model as everything sounds very appealing, especially battery life, speed.
I am currently a Google Pixel XL (1st gen) owner, I would be tempted to switch to the Mi Note 3.
From your experience so far with the device, can you please provide me some details/opinions about the camera quality?
I would like to know how it behaves in real life scenarios:
- daylight / low light;
- moving subjects/ focus speeds/ blurring moving targets faces, for i.e. children;
- aggresive noise reduction?
- video recording quality.
And last thing how does it compare to the Pixel Camera ,since DXO Mark gave them same score (I know that 90 was achieved due to portrait mode capabilities and bla bla)? Is this change worthy in your opinion?
I appreciate your participation to the thread!

The quality of the photos was what really impressed me, I'll attach some.
Focus speed it's pretty good; about moving subjects, I didn't test yet.
I did like 2 or 3 videos and the stabilization is pretty good as well, even the sound captured.
Battery lasts easy for 2 days, and I have always the wifi or network data On + BT.

Camera quality on MIUI camera app is close to ported Google Camera, but can't beat its HDR+ (enhanced) results. However, it's done in a much faster speed (MIUI vs HDR+ vs HDR+ enhanced = instant vs 1 second vs 5 seconds). With HDR+ turned off, the quality is more or less the same.

Battery life is very good if not amazing.

Great dude .. I will try to buy Note 3 128 version soon. You know the issue that there is no a separate fourm to support this device as well as no developers, and the only custom ROM available is https://download.mokeedev.com/?device=jason.
Thanks.

I'm sure there will be a separate thread soon.
Yea I know, thanks anyways.

mi note 3 camera is better than s7 or g6?

On pair if not better. But i would say it can compete with best. Only drawback is night photos but i heard it got fixed in latest china roms.

What about moving targets, children for example? Does it compare to pixel in this matter?

If it is day it is fine but in the night it struggle. I usually take a lot of pics while i walk my dog and i didnt notices during the day that they are blurred.
Put 1 just for example.

What exactly happens in low light? It struggles focusing moving targets, focus becomes much slower, or overall picture quality degrades, like noisy textures, bad color reproduction?
