Let's say I'm annoyed by annoyance of some and I decided to open this thread of discussion about photography with PocoF1.
Honestly, Gcam, by its computational photography led phone's cameras to a new level of performance. I like macro photography and I wanted to try this genre with my PocoF1. I dismantled an old telescope eyepiece ant took one of its lenses, a doublet with about 7x magnification. The working technology is simple: on your knees, on your belly to "hunt" all these little creature and pray seriously that they will not move so hard or the wind not to blow, then go to your PC to edit pictures. I use RAWs and I edit them with Lightroom desktop. Sorry for my poor english.
The setup is this:
So let's start. I'll post 5 pics at a time to keep posts small enough.
Photos taken with various version of Gcam (sanity and BSG):
Cool!!!
Because you posted the first in my thread, you won a... puppy!
Here's a shot from my balcony. Slept on my sofa while watching a movie and woke up to this beautiful scenery. Fired up my GCam and bang!

These pictures are amazing! Looks very much like an expensive camera. Have you taken any landscape or green elements? Would love to see those more from this thread:fingers-crossed:
Yes. Like i said, Gcam with its computational photography took the newest phone cameras and put them close to expensive cameras, from the quality point of view. Pictures have good dynamic range, good definition and very few noise. Concerning landscapes, I only tried few panoramas (using Photoscape on Gcam, Panorama don't work), but they are too large to attach them here and see all the details they reveal.
For example:
Carpathians, close to Buzau city, Romania:
Muddy volcanoes from my country:
So, let's see more...
...and...
There's so many cool insects and beautiful flowers where you are taking this picture haha. Is it taken where you live? Wonderful photos btw
Of course, there are subjects for (macro)photography everywhere.
Maybe you want to see Danube?
I recommend to download original pictures (option in top of the page), because postimg use compression for previews and quality is low.
tomada con pocophone? que GCAM? que configuración?

Don't upload it like this because if we open it it's blurry. Upload like the guy with his balcony.

So I took some pics with different settings in Camera 360 program. I forgot what the settings I selected were but its pretty much all of them.

This was all done on the phone. No computer side processing.
Oh P.S. these are all seprate pics of the same thing.
better because it has some extra filters?
take some long distance shots with the default camera app, then take the same shot with camera 360, and we'll see which picture looks sharper.

Will do in the morning
Yeah, I've taken pictures just as good of close-up flowers with the stock camera app. Those look great though! The camera is pretty excellent on the Captivate IMO.
Some of those filters look fantastic!!
/downloading camera360
for some reason i find that my camera is sub-par.. pictures always come out blurry even though i am very steady. i will try camera 360 and hopefully it will help
So what color is the flower supposed to be? Purple or Red. I'd say that only one of those photos looks good. I think the one where its red looks good, the leaves look a good solid green. The rest look kind of like "neon" lights or something.
I find that my Touch Pro w/ it's 3.2MP camera takes sharper photos than the captivate does indoors. I have a 30" monitor so I can actually verify if the camera is keeping up with the horizontal resolution of 2560. I would rate the effective pixel resolution only at like 2.5MP for the captivate. I would say the rest of the 2.5MP seem extrapolated w/ noise.
While YellowGTO's shots look good, we must remember that they are downsized. I tried out camera 360 as well. But imo that application only applies some digital filters to beef up the picture - I can do this w/ picasa. In the end TP's shots blow those of captivate to dust. Captivate lacks refinement.
Engadget did say that the camera quality is better on the vibrant than it is in the captivate. It would be nice if someone who also has access to the vibrant or the i9000 can compare the refinement abilities.
looks awesome!!!
Does this app let you use the camera on a low battery (unlike the stock)?
Those all look severly over saturated to my eye.

Which is one of the main advantages of this program. I also like Fxcamera, though the pictures quality looks far worse on the computer than when viewed on the phone.
Is there a camera replacement that lets me specify the ISO?
I read something about the Desire camera apk but can't find much more info. Anyone know anything?
Heh, what do you know! That isn't adjustable either!
I tried 3 camera apps and no luck

I haven't found any great camera aps for the Nexus S.
I use Camera 360 for it's HDR feature, but it's not ideal: it doesn't offer 16x9 option, the HDR is so-so and you have to keep the stock camera for video.
And of course, I wish someone would figure out how to get 720p video from the Nexus S.

I care a lot less about 720p video than manual ISO. Cranking the ISO can really help get much better pictures in low light. I used my Evo to take some incredible photos of Iron Maiden in concert at the Garden, but I had to shoot at ISO 800 for it. On Auto they were just too blurry.

Heh, to each their own.... But the fact is still that there isn't a great camera app which does anything truly useful that the stock camera doesn't.
BTW, how did the pics look on a big screen at ISO 800? Did you get tons of noise, or were the shots useful?
Large images, but it doesn't seem the thread is good for much else anyway

That was done with an evo? You have to have a steady hand too with low light. I certainly can't do it.
Yup. In the pit. The pics at auto ISO were just blurs.
Post the best picture that you took with S8/S8+ camera. You can also share the camera settings of you want.

Shot I took playing around
Pacific Coast near Stinson Beach
Couple shots of my car. Point and shoot
Some shots around Boston. Sadly no sun out
Really loving this camera.
And people have the audacity to say that this camera sucks.... Smh
How is the camera quality when taking photos in dark areas or in the night?

I will post later comparision pictures between the S7 Edge and the S8 as I own both. The S7 (edge) was the best allround smartphone camera. The S8 improved on the S7 (edge) camera.
A few examples when compared to the S7 (edge):
iPhone 7 (plus)
daytime: Soft image, lacks a lot of detail, nearly always blown out highlights, underexposed shadows
nighttime: A lot of noise, bad low-light visibility, Autofocus becomes very slow and jumpy
Google Pixel XL
daytime: best-in-class dynamic range when using native camera app, with social media apps (like snapchat) it's a potato camera...
nighttime: great dynamic range yet worse than the S7 Edge, lots of noise and has bad low-light visibility
In general, the front and rear-facing camera on the S8 are noticably better in every catogery when compared to the S7 Edge.
What does the S8 do better than the S7?
Better exposed shadows
Highlights are prioritized (much less blown out highlights)
spot on white balance (no more yellowish pictures at night!!)
Noise is reduced a lot (especially noticable at night shots)
Images appear softer but have more clarity
1080p60 AF is about 3x faster (still no instant AF unfortunately...)
Bokeh is more smooth and more pronounced, even when the subject is further away
Selfiecamera portrait mode!
The most notable is that the S8 has lots more dynamic range when HDR is turned off. This benefits social media apps such as videochatting, snapchat, instagram etc...
The front facing camera offers Auto Focus and is so far ahead of it's competition, it's crazy. I really love it's 'flat' colors combined with the crazy dynamic range even when using it with snapchat. I will post pictures later.
Here is something i took quickly last sunday

They were all expecting something outworldy and not almost same as last year, which is still ine of the best.

Miami?
Does the S8 tend to take photos a little on the warmer side compared with say a Pixel?

I've got the Huawei Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro and the Huawei Honor View 10 on my list of phones I'm considering since I need to update my daily driver this year. Is anyone with the View 10 willing to post some sample photos, including low light shots? I'd like to see some real world photos, not just the glossy professional online reviews. TIA.

Thanks for sharing, some of the early reviewers were harsh on the camera, but I don't agree with them from the photos I'm seeing.

It was also a moving shot in the car through a windshield so I'd say that's pretty good. Better than my OP5. I think maybe pre production software played a role in why they were so tough on the camera

You can find my pictures here
first few of them is in 1:1, the rest is in 4:3 resolution, also there are 3 of them in RAW -> 2 pictures made by someone experienced in photography from RAW format, their filenames starting with LR-...
Also one video shoot from a concert here in Budapest. Couple of picture made in a cloudy day. More will come in the same folder later.
All of these pictures and video has been made in full automatic mode, no adjustment made at all!

imo the camera is a let down
Here's one using the wide angle lense. Also note that I'm not in anyway a photographer nor do I really do anything besides point and shoot so for me it's more than enough most of the shooting modes I've no earthy idea how to use.
Yut kill
This p155 poor camera surely can't be hardware can it? i have not known a worse camera for a long time. Any shots in anything other than really good light are pretty terible. Tried in all modes, and wish I could go back to my Mate 20 Pro which wasn't the best but superior to this in low light!!
Even macro on my S6 was more useful despite being lower resolution!
Sorry for the rant, but this is the last time I'll buy samsung I think. If anyone can tell me a cheap andoid phone with better low light than this I would be greatful (I know they exist as I have seen images but can never remember what they are!).
Thanks [/rant over]
Welcome to XDA.
Post some examples of the fails.
Anything from the N9 up should be able to capture good shots especially in good condition light. Macros are a weakness because of the lense and shallow depth of field ie fast lens that can't be stopped down.
With some practice even the S4+ could grab usable macros... to a point. With a shallow dof the focus point needs to be spot on. Subject distance is also critical.

Thanks for responding Blackhawk. Thing is, I am adept at photography (long time owner of Nikon D90 which I never use in auto! but I do use my camera underground in mines that I explore, and I am comparing with other camera's (including my old mate20pro). When we take photos side by side with other friends this rarely fails to disapoint.
What I will do is take some more pics next week with a friend who has a pixel under the same light conditions for comparison

Auto aperture was my primary mode many times with my Canons. Smartphones are crude cams by comparison...
Mines? You out west? Ghost towns and cold war relics too?

Ah sorry by auto I mean auto lol... Ap and shutter priority are excellent and very much have their place!
Regards mines I like in the UK. I am part of a club who looks after copper mines going back to the bronze age. We also explore mines and go spelunking a lot too!
Would love to get over to the many gold mines in the US. A friend bought one a while back for a £1 lol... Never been to the US sadly!
I will say I have been blown away by the standard set by Google and Apple in dark areas though. We had a film crew to a location recently and they had all their pro gear. When they came underground with us they used a combination of an iphone in 1080 and a gopro. They said nothing beats these cameras for video and compactness underground! I was stunned!
Just a pity I don't like Apple because combined with the lidar function you can create incredible scans/surveys of spaces!
Another thing I should add is I am very dissapointed with the extras when you swipe right. It seems you used to be able to add extra camera functions but I have not worked out how... Is it possible?
