Questions about photos quality

Hi,
I want to buy a mate 8 but the photo take me away for now because of the reviews i can read on popular sites.
So, there is an important improvment for camera since the begining ?
What about slow focus ?
And compared to the g3, It has a better camera ?
Thanks in advance !

G3 imho is better, yes.

!! Okay x) i really love my g3 on MM , it is very smooth and I don't want to change for something bad ...

You must know that native camera app is not fixed yet - look, same sensors - different photos. Thats why is some "rainy effect" smaller contrast&brightness and so on https://youtu.be/9AzlF5635ik?t=802
About autofocus - best shortest but informative video here https://youtu.be/AWUhgpT-Mb0
Also you can found snapshots taked from Mate8 on special xda thread.

It's not "bad", it's just not the greatest. For most people the camera will be just fine

Good camera in daylight, indoors not so. Pretty bad really, it's sad because most of my shots are in for or in not perfect lightening.

The camera is fine for outdoors but struggles to get any good shots indoors especially with low or dim lighting. It can take some pretty bad photos indoors. It's the one thing I don't like about the phone, everything else is good.

I just switch to HDR mode and take normal photo. I see a real big difference between this modes. And try to take photos in low light with other modes later. I can post both comparing photos. Even a native app is not good for begin.

Oneplus 6 Cam vs 6T Cam

Hello Mates,
i bought a oneplus 6 and at the same time one of my Friends bought a Oneplus 6t.
I read and watch many YouTube Videos About the differences.
But i found out that my camera doesnt shoot such good pics as the 6t.
Why? It has the same Hardware! Specially the night mode pic of 6T shoot much more better pics then my 6.
I am very disapointed about that. Why ??? I read there are gcam mods and try some of them but night mod is not good as well.
Can i do something?
Thank you in Advance
Best Regards

Try the Gcam apk

Here, enjoy.

This Gcam port is the best i've tried, currently using the most recent one, everything works, including SlowMo, and the app is extra smooth :

camera quality

Have just bought the note 10 plus 5g and am moving from Huawei mate 20 X
The reason is the screen quality and the uncertainty with Huawei plus of course the 5g
Can anyone tell me about the camera is it good ? I owned note 9 and loved the note experience but the camera was poor
I just hope I'm not making a mistake moving as the camera on the mate 20 X is brilliant as shown below (only issue the AI is bad and I have it switched off most of the time)
Is there any monochrome ?? And night camera ??
I've enclosed a picture from the mate 20 X for comparison
Thanks

I have Note10, didn't see any monochrome lens, but possibly can be applied later as an effect. Nigh camera mode is there. I like images that this phone produced. I usually take photos of the nature, clouds and such... I haven't had a chance to put the camera into a good use, but I will.

Coming from two Pixels the camera on the new note is.... alright..
The issue i have is that you need to mess with different modes to figure out which mode to be in to get the best picture. For instance in regular mode i cant get a crisp picture of anything moving at all. My sons slight movements even cause a blur which sucks. In pro mode it makes the shutter much quicker and is able to snap moving targets.
Portrait mode is also a weird one. Live Focus kind of sucks and takes a ton of time to snap a photo so youll have to make sure that whatever youre shooting stays absolutely still. Again pro mode works pretty well but youll need to quickly change your ISO/fstop etc to get the best color.
Im currently using the Gcam port from the s10 and it works a bit better at getting overall better photos.
Im very used to opening my camera app and quickly taking the best photo possible so for me this is the biggest issue i have with the phone. My advice if you're a camera person is to wait for the next Pixel and make a decision from there

I disagree with Cosmo. I would say if you are a camera person then you know about photography. Basically everything he pointed out tells me he doesn't understand. That is exactly the type of person who should get the Pixel. If you know how cameras work then the n10 has everything you need to get amazing pictures.

Nice photo of my home town
I've come across from the Mate 20 X as well, went to Crosby beach last night to take some photos and they came out really well, there is a night mode which i dabbled with and came out well.
I've not found a monochrome option but that can just be done through snapseed etc

Love Liverpool ? thank you that's what I wanted to hear someone who has come from the mighty mate 20 X
How do you cope with slightly less real estate screen wise ?
Can you make the icons smaller on the note 10 plus as they are huge compared to my mate 20 X

I am and I love to use pro the problem with the mate 20 X is the AI gimic it massively over saturated the pictures I don't use it and normally unless I want a quick pic use pro mode

Hopefully can reproduce shots like this when my note 10 plus lands tomorrow ?

It's taking some getting used to, to most people the screen is probably large but coming from the X it's tiny in comparison. One benefit I've noticed is walking round I just don't notice the Note 10 being there.
Yes you can make the icons smaller, I've changed the DPI to 551 and it's made the icons a nice size for me, just mess about with the DPI till you find a size you like

Huawei P40 Pro Photo Quality in Camera

Hello guys, first time posting here, just want to say hi to everyone.
So, i just recently bought the p40 pro, and am getting used to no GMS. However phone has a lot of good things regardless Google. I noticed just one thing, when i enter camera app, and want to take picture it looks all blury, and kinda like washed out on the screen. It looks like bad quality with bad contrast and like it is budget phone from 2015. However it is a lot better and i think licture is normaln after taking it. Also when i manually zoom in it stays blury like that and then sharpens, and it looks the way it should be. Am i just tripping or what?
I am going to upload screenshot tomorrow.
Peace!

No screen shot, no comments.

Question Camera - good enough or need gcam?

Coming from pixel pro 6. Love the camera, hate the size of phone. Know I'm giving up some great features by going smaller but what are you early owners seeing with the camera? Anyone planning on finding a gcam ported to it? Heard someone ported google photos also so magic eraser would work.
Thoughts please why I impatiently wait on my phone to arrive.

Good enough. Definitely better than than my Flip 3
The 3 seemed to lack detail and colour for me.

I've been searching xda for the gphotos port with magic eraser, but nothing is coming up for non pixel devices... Let me know if you know where it is plz!

Samsung now has object eraser, works same, however you could try this: https://www.smartprix.com/bytes/how-to-get-pixel-magic-eraser-on-other-android-phones/

I took some Flip 4 pics today to see how it goes, the color rendering seems ok, decent photos in good light conditions. No overkill, just point & shoot camera - things we were expecting from this phone.

The camera on this phone is definitely no Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro; however, I think that should be a given when upgrading. I installed The Greatest GCam port and was impressed. The issue with the ports that I have found is that they don't mimic the new camera software on the Pixels. The one that was closest did something weird with my camera lens and made everything spherical looking.

Been using pixel since pixel 1, the camera is not as good as pixel's, even compared to a pixel 3 (2018).
The picture took by Samsung is more colorful than pixel, more colorful than real.
And the picture took at night is worse than pixel. Pixel's algorithm (night sight) is absolutely needed.
Is there any working G Cam port? Thank you.

Haven't found a gcam port that doesn't crash yet, but Adobe is working on a camera app that is suppose to have similar AI to Pixel, along with some other great stuff. Don't know when it will be released though

The camera is certainly a step up from last year's device but not quite flagship grade.
It excels in well-lit areas absent of any fast moving objects.
A working GCAM port might convince to me to reconsider it as a daily driver (as I literally have no other qualms with the device).

works, too. (Does not working with a config file)

Tried the BSG camera port. The good news is that everything seems to work. The bad news is that I took a number of test comparison shots with the Samsung camera (both lenses, night mode, portrait mode). The Samsung photos were clearly superior each time. If nothing else, makes me feel good about the camera built into the phone.

Can you take the selfie using the front camera? I tried G Cam from all mods and non of them has a working front camera. You can preview from the front camera, but you can't save the image.
As for the "superior", it's just personal tastes. Many people like the raw and real feeling of the G cam. Samsung's camera is too "vivid", the sky is bluer and the trees are more green, FAKE. And often lost the details because of the color management. G Cam, just captures the real world most of time.

Sorry, I've already deleted G Cam, so I can't test the selfie cam. Didn't think to try it.

Came from S22U, so my experienceis not applicablefor everyone.
For sure, the camera is not like in that phone, especially I'm missing the telephoto one. Night shots are more messy and such.
On the other hand though, it's not that bad at all. Night shots are doing what it supposed to do, day photos are great.
In my mind, I can say that the cameras on Flip 4 gets "Decent +" mark
