Quite frankly, I love this phone. It's fast and fluid and it's battery life is amazing. The only downside to it is the terrible video quality of this phone. It isn't sharp at all and is quite blurry on the details of the objects. Is there any way to improve this?
which resolution are you recording? 1080p or 720p?
did you see that issue in both resolutions?

not impressive, to be honest. 1080p is wobbly, 720p still a bit wobbly. not much detail. Continuously compensating for light changes. this is not what HD video recording should be, even on a smartphone.
Wobbly because most hands wobble more than tripods do
Maybe it is youtube that does the re-compression to an even lower bitrate that lowers the quality?
On my original post about the quadrant and linpack scores I noted that these videos I took are not on the final software and also yes, my hands were wobbly as hell lol. I also uploaded the original files to my dropbox, the links are on my post.
The 1080p is a 8Mbps and the 720p at 6Mbps, sound was really low bitrate.
Maybee it will be better in the final production version.
Are there 3rd party camera apps that may work?
The LG Optimus 2x films better than this, so I am sure it will be better in the final version.

I'n not a native English speaker. My 'wobbly' doesn't refer to your hands but to the typical smartphone effect you get when recording in HD and moving around. Not everything moves at the same pace creating a wobble effect.
However some phone don't have this issue as much as others, due to better hardware and/or software.
to me it did it seems like less pixelation in low light, what do you guys think?
Not sure if the quality of the camera's pictures got better, but the screen is suppose to improve with 2.3.4 which would enhance picture viewing.
Can anyone change the Camera's video recording Resolution to 720p?
I see huge potential in the Sidekick's camera and I was just curious if it was possible.
The Sidekick does already take some pretty nice videos for a 3.2 megapixel camera so recording quality should be good.
If anyone can do it, please do.
So you want me to downgrade the camera quality? All the pictures I've taken are 2048x1536, much higher than 720p
Oh shoot. I meant to say Video Recording quality to 720p. Lol, I'm sorry for the miscommunication.
So does no one know how to make the camera record videos in 720p?
go to camera then to settings
Can anyone please explain why the Sensation has a lower framerate when in camera mode (not shooting, just panning around) than say a Galaxy S2?
I had a GS2 for testing a few days and it's amazing how it maintains high FPS (perfect fluid panning motion) even in low light conditions. The Sensation can't do that, it turns almost into a slideshow...
I noticed the CM7 AOSP camera does a better job than stock/amaze mod, but it's still not 100% fluid.
I'm not expecting RED quality when shooting video, but the differences are quite visible between phones nowadays.
Thanks!
I would say that it the app. Because I bought anther camera app, and the FPS is much better. It still lags a bit, but not as much as the stock one.
Has anybody noticed how terrible the video recording performance is on this phone? Even in fairly well lit conditions there's so much smoothing going on it makes the overall video look absolutely terrible.
Is there a way to turn this smoothing off? I have been using GCam purely for recording videos and the quality is a lot better (doesn't have this smoothing effect) but the app itself isn't perfect and crashes fairly regularly. Any suggestions/known fixes welcome
I have my video settings set to 4k 60fps.
TIA.
I noticed this too.
Even on 60FPS it is not as smooth as I was hoping - my eyes actually hurt when I watch videos with moving objects.
Still objects are very, very good, especially with 5X optical zoom.
I think this is something to do with steadiness not with FPS.
