Hi,
I am considering the Infuse since the Arc seems a bit too small (I'm using a Dell Streak atm) and I would like to ask some questions about this phone.
1.Most of the phones I've own have a big problem when recording videos during the night or in low light conditions; they tend to drop/skip frames since the camcorder tries to compensate for the lack of light, resulting in very choppy/blurry videos especially for HTC devices. Does the Samsung Infuse follow this trend and are you satisfied with the quality for night/low light movies?
2.I've read that there is also a continuous autofocus for the cam - if you zoom while recording a video, does the camera re-focus or is the video grainy/pixelated?
3.How does the speaker sound? Is it on the low or high volume? I mean, does the music sound clear/crisp and loud, or does it need some boosting in a next firmware?
Thanks for your help!!
Answer
In low light the camera on the infuse performs as well as my Canon Rebel $400 digital camera. This goes for video and stills. The zooming is digital. At 8mp you can zoom pretty far before getting grainy, but as with ALL cell phone cameras you will never be able to take a photo of a college football game when you're sitting in the stands, it just can't zoom that far. The zoom is better than any phone camera I have ever seen, save one device that was primarily a camera and had a klunky phone afterthought. The speaker is loud and crisp. Very decent for playing a tune while I get ready in the morning when I can't use headphones. Hope the info helps.
Thanks for your input - it's really what I was hoping for before considering this phone. This was very helpful!! Thank you!
PC World loves the MT4gS for still images - http://bit.ly/oPdFKn
Video they feel the opposite. Do you agree?
I think the still images are great.
Good to know we beat the 4s. I never use the camcorder so didn't really care about that.
sent from my sense on crack MT4G Slide using xda premium
I just recently used the video portion and I agree. The video quality is no where near the picture quality. The audio for video is really bad.
This phone impresses me every time I use it to take a photo and I'm not surprised to see it rated as one of the best. It takes photos that are just about as good as a Canon point and shoot that I own. Does a great job with staying true to the original color of what you're shooting too.
Videos are not as good as the photos, but come on.... it's a phone. The image sensor is tiny - I don't know how people expect great video from anything with a sensor this small. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the video quality, considering this is a phone. Would you be able to shoot a wedding with it? No. Well.... you could, but there are better choices out there if you really want to shoot great video. Will it do a good job of capturing your buddies acting like idiots in reasonably good detail? You bet it will.

i agree, i love the camera for still photos, it works great, but i was under the impression that i would be able to produce some great footage and audio at concerts and such, not the case however 1080p still goes a long way.
Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the Huawei Nexus 6P come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Crisp, but lack of OIS makes for really choppy videos if you don't have a steady hand. The EIS helps a little but not much
The video image quality is great however, the lack of OIS really shows and audio quality when recording heavy bass is like nails to a chalkboard. Unfortunate for those who came from a Nexus 5 will have to endure another year of static bass audio.
The video quality is not bad but i can see same strange lines when i record a video
Does anyone's nexus make a noise when focusing almost like a low clicking? You really need to put your ear up to the camera to hear it, mine makes it and if I watch the video playback loud enough I also hear it.
Well, video quality isn't so bad honestly.

There's a cover of a song, and throughout the entire video - you can hear faint and constant clicking noises. The room where it was recorded is dead silent, so I'm not sure where it's coming from but it's annoying!
Video quality is excellent. However shooting at Higher frame rate (120 or 240) there is some pixelation on the screen even though resulting video doesn't show that.
There is one thing, if you are shooting slow motion video and go to review your video and then come back to camera, it defaults back to normal speed back. You have to select slow motion mode again everytime you exit out of camera viewfinder screen.

sounds good but what is that clicking....are you saying you did this recording and you heard nothing of the sort with your human ear while recording it live?
assuming you have a human ear??
Did a test side by side next to a Z3 Compact, camera was MUCH better.
digital stabilization is terrible, ur better off just turning it off. Its just to wobbly and unnatural.
and I get a little bit of white noise on recordings, when recording in quiet areaa.
but I like the recording more then the Note5 that I have as well, note does shoot birhter videos, but softer and less contrast. Especially in lower light where note produces unrealistic images.
Is there any app to view the video frame by frame similar to iPhone?

Here's my video footage while driving in daytime.

Am I correct in saying the audio is mono and cannot be recorded in stereo ? It was the same on the nexus 6 also.
disappoint that no 60fps option on stock app
I need to install "Open camera" to record video frame by 60fps

Unfortunately it is mono only again this year ! Who knows why especially with stereo front facing speakers !
Nice documentation peoples... Thanks to everyone.

Does open camera shoot stable video?

not stable.....
finally, i'm compromised to use the stock camera app forrecord the video with 30fps...
fablous
I'd love to hear your thoughts on it; if you use it or not, the video quality, maybe even some of your own cool clips.
It works great in well lit places. If it's anywhere near low light conditions I noticed its rather unclear. Overall its perfect for outside in daytime

Are there any continuous slow motion options such as 120/240fps?

Yes for 120 fps
It shoots amazing videos in high light environments.
But when it's not so bright, there's significantly noise on the video... Sometimes can't even see clear pictures...
The best part of this camera is the normal mode, it takes photos super fast, very unlikely to get blurry pictures.
I wished the user had more options with the slow motion. For example 240FPS continues as most top of the line phones support out of the box and a longer burst 480FPS option. Basically the buffer that gets filled using 960FPS could last twice as long with half the frame rate. The slow motion would still be incredible but with the added benefit of twice the action.
Hopefully when ROM's come along someone can unlock some cool new features.

at 960fps it records video at 720p resolution. You will get great videos only at high lighting conditions. Anyways it looks great
I have also posted a youtube video link and for your info...... it took a total of 4-5 balloons to get it right.
Hi chitshiv, great work capturing your video using slow motion. I've just picked up the xzs, g8232, and was wondering if you are also finding the slow motion capture display to be ridiculously grainy when trying to film indoors? I've yet to take it outside to see if it is any clearer. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Works great in a good light like daytime outdoor, I recorded some amazing videos when playing basketball, but lots of unacceptable noisy point in low light.
awesome!!!
I notice on alot of videos on youutbe on 4K 60fps.
It is like a smeary coating over the picture in movies that makes the picture look not so sharp and also artifical when watchning it on larger screen. Also when the camara moves it gets unsharp. Look at this video on a larger screen.
Look on the ground in 7:30 and you see much more details in the P20 Pro video, and also the overall sharpness. There must be some kind of possiblity to fix, because Oneplus 3/3T have sharper videos.

I read somewhere that the unsharp artificial tint(?) is becuase of that the software im the camera have problem hadnling the grayscale(?).
Also the picture in the movies are oversaturaed and dosnt feel natural, just look at this video when they compare OP6 to Iphone X(6:58 in video)

I really hope the Oneplus could fix this in an update
Or is it possible that the gcam might handle this better?
