Really? How do you rate the HD2 Quality overall from 1-5?
I love it, just the screen quality, size and contrast make my friends lust over the phone especially when I'm in picture mode.

I love the screen but the actual camera doesnt seem to do it justice, the old photos on my sd card, taken on my N95 on the other hand look fantastic on the HD2 screen

I also love the camera on this
After having BB's for so long I am quite happy to have a decent camera to take those on the fly pics...look at the quality you can actually see the bee in the middle of the pic!

Im literally doing it right now....

Here's the one i took yesterday in my garden.
I took it with my hands without any special equipment
Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I was waiting a long time to tee off, so I snapped a few shots on the 6th tee and stitched a little panorama here.

Awesome..so how are the changes??

gjizaqin that flower pic really got me. The detail is just amazing and I love the panaroma picture buzz killington.

Haha.. join the conversation. Fantasytozi, you should try the change to the camera that I posted earlier in this thread. It will make your second picture look like your first and last. You take really good photography!

Various customed ROMS; tweaked camera registries
Photos taken at highland areas, approx > 1500m above mean sea level.
Already applied modded camera tweaks.

No change, Im a dumbass, I already had this enabled. I stand by my original statement.

Love have a camera that is useable in your pocket.

These are my thoughts about the camera.
As longs as there is a lot of light they are pretty good, but when you are forced to use the led flash or dont use it in low light I say the pictures arnt any good.
My old camera a sony ericsson k810i had a xenon flash. It could take awsome pictures in the dark.
What are your thoughts on low light fotography with the HD2? I would really like to tweak it so it improves.

Are they tips #16 and #56? I just checked and they already there in my current rom, Laurentius26. Maybe I will try to take some photos again

If I would rate I would say 3-3.5 it is a good cam for just shooting some nice pictures outdoor. Video quality is pretty good in my opinion to. Shooting in the dark if you keep it in your hands without moving you get good pictures (for example in a bar). But it quite difficult to keep it steady espescially when you have drinken some alcohol . But at daylight you can take good macro for example documents.
Overall I would say a good outdoor shooter. But that is not very special for the camera's at the moment.

OTA Froyo Recording Quality.

Can somebody record some shots using the updated camcorder app in the ota? It would be really interesting to see the "improvements" made by htc.

am uploading something right now... ill post when done its just a test ...am using the 2.2 that just came out

yes plz audio on camcorder is the most fail

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M829mZlnnic

edit
i dotn know if i did something wrng but its not showing the 720 p on the youtube.. maybe it takes a while to processs :l

Check the codec you recorded with; if it was h.264 you can only capture @480p

Not looking to good....maybe check the code try again.... oh well maybe the devs will make better.

Yeah check your settings. If that was 720p I don't see much different. Hopefully your settings weren't right.
Sent from the dark side of the moon.

there it is go to 720p....it was processing

When i select h264 as the compression I can only go up to 800 x 400 resolution. I have to select mpeg4 decoding to be able to record at 720p. Anyone else notice?

The audio is ALOT better on the vid.

All I can say is, 24fps my ASS! *sigh*

Is there a way to just disable the video camera completely, because with that type of quality, if I ever did record something by accident, I'd have to kill myself.

On a "meh" note, the h.264 800x480 recording is very smooth and looks pretty good.
Not 720p, which still is pretty much what it was before, but at least it's something.

Really guys? I think it looks pretty decent. It's still no iPhone 4, but when he gets outside it definitely looks a bit smoother than it did before, and detail is a bit better as well. I remember before it would look like the camera had trouble even recording in 720 and would hiccup every few seconds. It may only be 24fps, but at least it's a CONSISTENT 24fps. don't forget every movie you've ever seen was filmed at 24fps... And yea, the indoor portion kinda sucked but that's due to the crap sensor they put in the evo.

while not recording the actual image on the screen looks a little smoother,but to my eyes it seems when you record its actually worst then before

audio is sooooooooooooooooooooo much better

What are you talking about? It's using an 8 megapixel version of the EXACT same sensor they used in the iPhone 4 by the SAME manufacturer, and unlike most camera sensors in smartphones today, it's actually backlit. Please stop blaming the hardware before recognizing the real root of the problem.

Ya, but pro cameras don't drop frame rates in low light.
I've seen my EVO drop to 8-12 FPS while recording in low light. Almost impossible to watch.

**** man i've given up on evo as a recording device.. what a waste of space..

X10a Video ( will update 720p for comparison when its out )

Hello.
I made a video of me racing in F1 2010 on PC. When the 2.1 update comes out, i will record again in 720p and make a small comparison.
Take a look
Ps: At the time of this thread, the video is being processed, so quality will improve a little when its done.

people who don't want to show off their multihead setup would have made a reference video that shows the zoomfunction, some colors, contrast and stuff like this
either way, nice setup

hope it to be way too different

lol, im not showing it off. as i stated.
simply making a simple video now, then when 2.1 is out, i will record the same reply, and them put them side by side

The things is... like with the pictures, default camera app compressing the images too much same will happen with 720p.
If if we will have 720p, the clip will be so compressed (and the frame rate too low anyway) that won't make such a big difference in quality.

Video quality

Hi all just wanted to post this YT link i found of some one using the hd vid on s2, i like it because it shows something apart from cars moving lol.
http://www.youtube.com/user/Jabbypants#p/u/2/bK03FWztkHM
The white cat throws the exposure of a little and the focus is a little jittery, i wish it had touch to focus? or does it?

1080 @ 30fps my ass. More likely to 15 20 fps or 30 with cloned frames.

OMG!! That AF is like crazy!!!!!
but to prove it's kersh's ass only, could you upload the org. file for us.

not my vid, I was just browsing YouTube

Actually it's youtube compression. I dowloaded the full video and it's really better, great colors, really nice AF and the video is around 27/29 fps.

Yeah I asked the poster to upload it to mediafire and he posted the link in the description. It's much smoother and slightly sharper.

This FPS (First Person Shooter) game sucks, the riffle is not displayed, and none of the two cat zombies are shot. Besides I threw up a bit in my mouth at 16 seconds.

the AF is amazing..! Excellent quality.

Is there a problem with custom roms because when I record video it looks like crap.
Old Galaxy S records much better video.
As long as the phone is still the video is ok but little panning or tilting makes the picture so wavy.
Anyone else noticed that?

Video quality

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 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!

Good stabilisation and auto focus, not much more to say

4k video awful. Stutters and judders whenever you move. FHD+ not much better. Quality is also not sharp. A massive let down here.

Video quality not good terrible jittering ,i expecting more from this expensive phone

price asked has nothing to do with quality there are 200$ phones with crisp 4k video on the market

I got exact same feelings. The video quality is a bad joke...
Keeping my fingers crossed for a software update soon!

I spend a good hour at huawei booth and just couldn't get an explanation why there were jitters and dropped frames at 60 fps especially when panning. Also, 4k had few dropped frames and jitters but there was some sort of warping/bending at the sides of the screen. Again , no explanation.
So wanted to get this phone and am hoping someone has some answers why (perhaps it's ok when exported to pc?) or maybe some setting i'm not aware of?

Same here. Video quality suck and it always want to brighten the video when shot in a sligthly dark room. Hopefully there will be a fix but meanwhile snapchat app actually records better video than the default huawei app... Thats kind of embarrassing for huawei. It seems to be a sofwareissue.
Do anyone know any good external camera app to use?

Any one have the same problem like me.
No sound when making a video. When I restart the phone than sound comes back , but after a few more videos no more. I have now library of movies with no sound.

I'm using Cinema FV5, it's having a lot of manual settings, so I was able to shoot a video which looks quite more natural in low light.
Gesendet von meinem LYA-L29 mit Tapatalk

I am not happy with video recording, pro mode options are limited and there's no dynamic control option i.e., you can't change settings while recording video other than zoom and focus. lot of pixel dropping in 4K, stabilization is good though, 146 has tweaked it well. another thing i noticed is long exposure shots with ISO 50 are giving lots of white dots or burnt pixels which are spoiling the photo shots. this means camera photo-detectors are not well ventilated for heat dissipation. also some of the features that Huawei boasted about such as cinematic mode are useless, low light videos are horrible...
only photo quality is good.

Slow mo
Hey guys, second post around... I've been testing super slow mo (960 fps) but the quality is a bit rubbish, the lense is the same as far as i know, and at 120 fps it takes good video, despite blurring everything at 0.6x... Do you have the same problem? Is there something I'm missing about slow motion video? Thanks!

Slow Motion is far better in Note 9. Big disappoint on Video recording on M20 Pro
Photos are great, Videos recorded are worse than $200 phone

I feel the same.
But both on Note 9 and Mate 20 Pro, the lack of manual focus on slow motion is sad. I lose lots and lots of opportunity for nice slowmo videos because they are out of focus (e.g., looking out the winodow of a moving train when entering the station). Simply being able to lock the focus would make it awesome.

4K video works fine for me
As long as you move smoothly the video is very nice as long as you are outside in good light. But first remember to use "performance mode". This is very important! Of corse the stabilization is not as good as in full HD;

4k30fps is not the way to go for smooth footage with any movement involved, let's hope the market still cares about Huawei in 2k20 until kirin 990 comes along

If you shoot video a lot, download Filmic Pro. It gives you full control on the camera. You'll be able to lock the focus and the exposure. Keep in mind that shooting 960fps video requires lots of lighting otherwise blur effect. The S9 has the same "issue". It is not an issue in fact it's just how it goes even for professional. Slow motion with bad lighting is a bad idea. Hope it helps

It depends a lot on what you shoot. and what texture you are looking for in your final footage. For more cinematic videos many will recommend 24fps. For slow motion high framerate. Shooting in 60fps you'll get a texture close to "real life". Hope it helps

How's the effect compared with iPhone and Samsung?

Video recording in Iphone XSMax are gorgeous, better than Mate 20 Pro period. For Samsung S10 I don't know but my guess is that they are both better than Mate 20 Pro. Mate 20 Pro just do the work

the video recording quality is quite the disaster. i hope it is fixed in an update some point soon. i'm pretty sure my zte a7 has better video quality....sadly...
