Hey,
I was wondering if you can help me find/choose the best HDR camera app out there. Which one do you use and are you satisfied? Have you tried more than one and can give a comparison?
Thank you

i believe he said 'HDR' camera app
this is the best imo
http://www.appbrain.com/app/pro-hdr-camera/com.eyeappsllc.prohdr
gives excellent results but you need a steady hand and the subject to be 100% still, but is better than HDR camera+
Pro hdr camera looks good. I'll give it a try. i try to handcraft a thing to keep it still for pictures I think it will be fine. 360 does not take real hdr. it just takes one shot and adjusts it afterward s

Agreed. I love this app. Have used it for over a year now. HDR camera and a lot of other modes.
For the record, Camera 360 uses a FILTER to simulate HRD. It isn't exactly the same as true HDR, but might be enough for most people. Real HDR photography takes multiple photos of the same scene with different exposures then combines them. You have to have a steady hand and patience for it to work right. Pro HDR works really well.
Yes, Pro HDR makes two Photos and compute them to one.
So you have a "real" HDR Photo.
But support is very bad. I've asked a question via Email and there is no response. I hate such things.
Last update is month ago...
I hope they can implement widescreen photos now.
Hi,
here is a little video with these camera apps:
Attached example photos.
with friendly greet

thanks for the video and samples. I´ve had problems getting pictures of exactly the same scene because i dont have a dock or whatsoever.
I get the best results with HDR Camera whereas the Pro HDR Camera is better in usability and interface
Is there any way to improve camera? I had XT720 before a half year, picture quality was a horrible. Now with the custom ROM, brings step to improve quality?
Can someone post pictures from camera?
Thank you

I guess there have been no major changes to the camera. Actually the stock 2.1 camera is better than on any of the custom ROMS. Camera picture quality depends on the amount of light and the correct settings. I wouldn't describe it as horrible but you sure need to tweak everything to get a good picture.
I've attached some pictures I took recently. The first is using the macro setting. I was fixing my friends les pauls toggle switch and changing the pickups. A few flower and weird pod pictures. And the last one is of my place and the lawn outside. Maybe you guys can comment on the quality.
EDIT: Im on WanHU's rom stock with these photo's.
As per my experience, the phone is great with macro mode shots but when it comes to landscape photography it doesn't provide quality snaps. They are average just like the ones taken with my old Nokia N85 ( 5MP camera)
Here are few samples taken with XT720.
I find the camera performs pretty well here... On ESB (2.1) right now.
I'm going to chime in here and say I get great pictures with this phone - though there is a slight delay - so shooting my son on the run is hard (he's gone when it snaps!). Though I don't always shoot on automatic, and I hold the button to allow it to focus. I do get a lot of red-eye, but software can fix that (though, the software makes my son's eyes black, and they are blue )
I came to ask about the recording aspect and am hi-jacking this newer thread - what about that? I'm now running RusMod 1.9 with the US/Eng patch and am still getting the noise/lines in the recording. Here is an example of a bad one;
Can't post links yet.. check Henzod on Youtube
But I don't always get it...
Can't post links yet.. check Henzod on Youtube - Poncho video
(Don't laugh, it was just a test video lol)
Is there an alternate Camera.apk to install or something else to fix to get this working again?

I get shutter lag also, but only really on the first shot when loading up the camera. Once the camera is loaded up properly, snapping pictures is actually surprisingly fast for me.

I did some research on that. It isnt the camera loading up but the xenon flash charging. If you take pictures in conditions where flash is not required it happens instantly. Apparently the xenon gas has to be at a specific charge for the flash to work

Well, whatever the case, it's nice once it's charged.
Well, I find the camera useless for taking photos of my daughter because of the lag and that's all I really cared about camera-wise, so I'm not too pleased with the camera performance. It's too slow to capture spontaneous things.

Takes me 3-5 seconds to snap a pic from another app on ESB generally...
No, what I mean is you press the shutter and the phone contemplates its navel for a few seconds and she's moved already. So you're cajoling her to smile at the camera and she finally does and you hit the trigger and watch as she moves out of frame/closes her eyes whatever before the photo gets taken.

To an extent I find that's true of most low/mid point & shoot cameras. For quick camera response nothing beats the dSLR with a fast lens but that's not always available.

Yeah, that does happen sometimes. Once the xenon flash is warmed up, that doesn't usually happen.

This doesn't happen on the Moto Defy either (can tell you out of experience) and that is mid-end phone.
I'm with Mz on this one i bought that @#$ing Moto for the cam and i am alwase missing those fast ones
I tried everything to get the cam faster, i made a litle progress.
Precharging the Xenon is really bad on the batterry so can't do that
#@$%ed we are....
To be fair, the xt720 is a phone first and camera second.
But I do agree, the shutter speed is sloooww

Okay, but it's got a promised 8 MP camera, which actually takes great shots if the subject is still life and a lot of the slowdown is not the xenon flash (though, as noted above, some is, understandably - though xenon was a selling point...) but the software itself. This has been demonstrated over and over with the updates we get to the ROMs - some are better at photos and video, some are worse.
Still - why do my videos look so horrible while there are demo videos on YouTube that look amazing?
I was reading a review the other day and I saw the reviewer mention that getting a better SD card can improve HD video recording (which has often lagged). I saw a comment by Motorola on a youtube video saying the same thing.
I'm sure this has come up before, but I can't remember the conclusion. Does a better SD card provide improvements?

Yep. A better SD card obviously has a higher Class (like yourself). And as we all know the higher the Class the faster it reads/writes to the card. The faster the r/w the better the quality of fps and output. I have a 32gb Class 10 card and 16gb Class 6 card and to tell you the truth, I really don't see too much of a difference as far as Pix go. Video on the other hand is a whole different ball of wax. I get way better video on the C10. Don't forget the SDcards they come with are garbage, Class 2's. Take a C2 and compare with a C4 or C6 and it is apples to oranges.
I'll try out my class 4 (but only 4gb) SD card soon. If I do notice better camcorder quality maybe I'll have to consider spending a few bucks for a better SD card... Though I don't know about a 32gb class 10. I looked at the prices for something like that in my nearby electronics chain and they charge about $150 for that lol. I might as well save that money for a new phone.
That's... Really lame.
My Blackberry could do that. What the hell?
I don't use it often, but it's a great feature.
Geez. Any solution? Can i use a 3rd party camera? Even if can't use both cameras?

idk if it works
There's a camera icon displayed while recording that takes photos when you click it.

No there isn't?
I certainly can't seem to find it.
Probably another "enhancement" to the North American versions.
So Huawei doesn't give a damn about anyone outside China, go figure. Last Huawei device.
Nope, scratch that, I figured it out.
It doesn't happen if you record at 60fps.
Which is another problem, why can we record at 1080p 60fps but not 720p 60fps?
Regardless, can't record at 60fps and take photos at the same time. Super lame.
Well, I didn't buy this phone for the camera or the video recording.
But recorded a video using the Gcam app but was totally disappointed by the quality of the sound especially.
I wonder what is your approach in this aspect.
I use cinema fv-5
The camera for recording is very bad for me. Even with EIS enabled, using GCam or whatever. It's not on the same level as the pictures.

Our phone is still plagued by the low light bug. If you want to capture a video in something other than perfect lighting conditions, you might want to go with manual exposure.
I use Footej camera (with camera 2 API enabled) with manual exposure.
I never set shutter speed slower than 1/25, to avoid getting 14fps.
Same thing can be done with Open Camera.
As far as sound goes, I'm one of the lucky ones, no bug there.
Cheers
Hi everyone,
I've been doing some experimentation with Open Camera and the Google camera app, and I can never seem to get 60 fps video recorded. The OP6 camera seems to downgrade to 30 frames per second in all third-party apps, no matter what settings (resolution, bit rate, fps) I choose. Has anyone managed to get 60fps on this hardware using any third party camera app?
Exactly
While Google cam does such a great job with photos, only the stock camera seems to be able to record smooth videos at 60 fps. It's not the ideal solution, but I'd say just stick with two camera apps on your phone, stock for videos and third party app of your choice for photos.
Damm day i buy this phone...
Offered a F1 to my wife this weekend and already have native 60fps at 4K, and slow camera with 960fps....
Shame on you OP....
