I've been playing around with the camera today and got a few interesting results. So I've created this thread so that we can post and share our pictures and settings used to achieve them. I feel this would be good for people who perhaps are not familiar with our cameras settings and would like to get better shots.
I think our SGS2s camera can achieve some fantastic results
Please post your favourite shot and the settings you used below
Here is mine to start off.

holy CRAP that's nice... i'll try to take some later =D
What resolution is that? the Max setting also?
My first macro shot with the SGSII, results were better than expected!
I believe everything was pretty much set to auto, except focus.
I should have some more lying around.
Nice shot
Whenever I point the phone to my dog, he thinks it's something like a gun so he runs away.
Can you tell me what's diffirent between metering : spot, matrix...?
Here in Spain it's ice-cream time
I always shoot in min ISO, so ISO 100. Both in macro mode.
Another macro shot (also ISO 100):
wow! amazing shots!!! very sharp and nice DOF
OMG wow.... Ok i will post some soon.

There is centre-weighted, Spot and matrix metering.
These options take readings from the image which adjusts exposure to the image being produced according to the light intensities.
Centre- weighed towards the centre and averaged throughout the rest of the scene
Spot- the camera will only measure a very small area of the centre spot, useful when there is a relatively small object within your scene which you need to be perfectly exposed.
Matrix - takes reading from split areas of the scene to calculate the best exposure and sets it according to an average.
...I think
It's all a bit complicated to be honest, well for me it is, I'm just a beginner.

matrix mode does not take "split areas" (it might just be a language issue however), it splits the images into a matrix (a table if you prefer) and finds out the best exposure for each point in the matrix.
this usually fixes up expose problems and while i didnt test the matrix implementation of the sgs2 im surprised it doesn't default to it, in theory, it should make all those overexposed pics ppl take on smartphones look "mostly" fine
centered will not, and you always notice it when the lighting is not correct, with the burned out / over exposed edges
Lots of nice cars.
Centre weighted, ISO 40. Really happy with the camera.
Im interested in this thing: lock exposure after focusing. e.g. SE X10 and other sony ericssons are capable to lock exposure after phone camera focus on object. Then you can move phone to other position and fullpress to take picture...this is very good when dificult light conditions...THX for answer

Just in case others haven't noticed, there is a Camera firmware update available. Don't ask me where I found it but it was in the "Samsung Apps" app somewhere! I have no idea what it improves either (if anything).

Seems that the camera is ok for snaps (I have been spoiled by the Carl Zeiss optics of the Nokia N Series) but then I guess the camera is not what you would buy this phone for!

What camera settings did you use?
Great pictures, much better then my HD2 HD2 performs awful in the darkness - overexposes every picture with the leds. So I won't miss the led except for flashlight purposes
at least we can see under low light xD
the normal light picture is not bad, much better than HTC's quality and everything seems clear enough for a phone cam.
but it doesn't capture the sunlight that well, it makes a "whitish" effect in the picture lol not sure how to describe. but it ruins the real colors.
holy crap. in decent lighting those stills looks pretty darn good for a phone.
and the video is REALLY impressive for a phone.
it appears that it doesnt do well in low light, but still... im impressed.

Thank you so much!
Hmm, if the camera is similar to that on my Omnia I then I’d recommend manually setting the ISO rather than leaving it on auto. Also, I’d be curious if manually focusing on a specific object would perhaps result in a sharper low light photo (my Omnia has problems auto focusing in low light/low contrast situations).
If you want me to take some specific shots I can try. I've been messing around with the settings i.e macro, iso etc.
I took this today on the Galaxy S, I didnt check the settings, its still all on default. It was taken freestanding so could probably be sharper, but was pretty much just point and shoot. Its not edited apart from the 50% reduction to make it viewable on here. Colours are as they were captured, and not bad for a camera phone.

Ah, so bad! xD
Soooo much noise and artifact in those shots, resolved detail not very good either.
That said, looks like HTCs best camera ever (apart from perhaps the Mozart with its Xenon Flash, but I haven't seen many examples from that handset yet).
I think that mobile phones' cameras are not for the ones who are obsessed with photo quality.
I am sure long years I will prefer to carry a DSLR camera even though I have got a 8 mp camera integrated phone.
i agree buying a phone based on its camera is silly, the only time i have ever used my phone camera was when i got a parking ticket so i took photos of the signage and my car wrote a letter to the council and got off without having to pay
if i know im going to take photos i just take my DSLR

More photos..............
Any chance in taking an evening shot (sunset/sunrise) without flash.
Also if possible another two low light shots with and without flash (basically the same shot for comparison on how well the camera handles low lighting with & without a flash).
Cheers.
Ouch those shots are really poor in terms of quality, noise, too strong noisereduction, chromatic abberation and hell everything.
I'm afraid Nokia N8 wins this round.

You don't need to be obsessed with photo quality to demand more from your mobile phone camera than the Desire HD is offering though. For many of us the camera is quite an important consideration because day to day photography with our phones is part of our regular use (most of us don't carry a DSLR all the time, eh?). Its nice to have shots that are 'good enough' for that kind of casual photography, and many other non-HTC phones offer that.
I won't, and haven't ever, based a decision to buy a phone solely on the camera, but certainly its a consideration, more important for some of us than others (but you can't dictate to others how they come to a decision to get a phone or not).
Hi, I decided to buy SGS II as soon as it will be on stock in my country. For now there is so few reviews with full res. photos. Many people will be glad to see camera quality from real users. So please share some photos with us. Many THX
PS: Its not condition, but only full 8Mpx resolution photos show the real quality and amount of detail and sharpness of the photos.
Here are some untouched Macro shots taken in my backyard in fading light with the Galaxy S II, was a bit windy so the flowers kept moving:
Click for full sized image
Nice macros, I can imagine better shots without wind and with some exposure correction EV -0.5 or EV -1 you will get more sharpness and contrast...THX I will doubt more mates will join and show off their own photos...I will appreciate some sceneries and middle range photos in good light conditions...
I'll get some done later.
I'll post a few for you shortly. Stay tuned

very nice photos...it seems that SGS II camera is very good in focusing for near and middle distances (up to 5-8m). Macro is nice oo...maybe far distances wont be so nice and sharp but still great result in good light conditions...

Yeah, the longer range stuff does seem to lack a little sharpness at the moment. I don't know if I can overcome that with the settings or not. Macro and reasonably close range stuff is excellent, and it's taking some brilliant pictures of my kids.
I haven't done a vast amount of low light stuff yet either.
Also quite importantly, it's quick. I've found that compared to the iPhone, a lot of smartphone cameras take a while to actually get the shot, or to load up so you can start using them. SGS2 does neither, it's quick to load in, and the shots are pretty much instant in the right mode.
I'll try and get a sports mode example too, that's quite a fun toy to play with. It'll track a moving target in a panorama mode.

Notice the yellowish on right side of photo, it seem like many of the user of sgs2 having this problem on led flash, and it all occur at the right handside of photo
this made me remember on the n86 led flash ---> yellowish led light. May I know sgs2 flash light color is white or yellowish?
I was messing around with the macro on one of the grass shots but I didn't tap focus for any of the pics, just point and click. For the first two I think they look like that because I was pointing the lens in the direction of the sun to see how they would come out.

how do you set the camera to macro mode, on the xperia x10 it was in the settings with a tulip icon but can't find it on the sgs2? any help would be appreciated.

Thanks man...great app. Never liked the depth-to-field in the stock camera. This fixes it all. So this takes like 3 pix at once and combines pixels and hardens the pic?
If it's like ProHDR, it takes the same image at three different exposures (one "too dark," one "normal" and one "too bright"). It combines these to make areas that otherwise would have been too dark or too light look more normal in the final image. These apps (or doing HDR manually afterwards) can really make some scenes look a lot more natural, but they can also overdo it and make them look incredibly fake.
In the OP, notice the sticker in the top left corner and the electrical cord in the bottom right. These were both in "dark" areas of the original, but are brought out much more nicely with the HDR app.

There's no difference in the depth-of-field (not depth-to-field) in either picture.

Yes this is what HDR does. Takes a picture at -2(or -1) exposure, 0 exposure and +2(or +1) exposure, then combines them. Most HDR pictures DO look extremely fake because it is not how our eyes perceive the image in reality.
Pro HDR is cool, but it takes a long time to take a pic. HDR Camera is a good one. It's fast, and you don't have to stay perfectly still.
In HDR Camera, set the saturation to pure, and the local and micro contrast to low. You'll get an excellent picture that doesn't look HDR.
Here are some examples (Old Town San Diego):
While the HDR effect can be cool, for some shots it would take away from it.
I set it to standard when taking pics at the Cars and Coffee in Irvine, CA. Helped bring out the reflections on the cars:
But yeah, great program.
I see half of an alien face in the top right part of the bottle in the HDR pic!!!!!
I use it for special moments, though when in doubt, I first take a stock pic, then use HDR. Sometimes the differences can be minimal, and a lot of times it can be much obvious that HDR is a better choice.

Has anyone tried setting shutter speed in Pro Mode to 1/24000? Whenever i set to 1/24000 the screen become dark even my ISO was set to 800. When we need to use 1/24000 shutter speed?
This mode is to use under ultra bright luminosity !
The photo is taken very fast (0,00004 seconds of exposition time!!).
Because it's very fast, you need a lot of light (and by a lot I mean a big lot) or else it's complete dark. But if you have enough luminosity, not a single photo will be blurred by camera or objects movements.
For example : a car is driving at 200Km/h, you take a picture of the tires of the car : on the photo you will be able to read the small writtings on it, even if the car was moving super fast
1/24000 is STUPIDLY fast shutter speed... i honestly can't think of a single situation where 1/24000 would actually be useful, unless you were aiming to deliberately under expose everything else while taking a photo directly of the sun lol
to give you an idea, 1/8000 setting can actually capture a bullwhip cracking without any blur on the whip at all... and 1/24000 is a hell of a lot faster than that lol
here's one example (not the best one) of a photo taken in 1/24000 mode :
https://goo.gl/photos/9KhKrU623WpwkinU7
I couldn't have done this photo without high shutter speed, I was in a fast train... at 1/8000 it wouldn't be blurry aswell but I wouldn't have the strong contrast I have on this mode and the sun would "melt" in the sky....
very nice @Mr_PoPoP
underexposed shadows is definitely the only use i can think of for that speed, unless i could wire the phone through to studio lighting, then i might get some use out of it just to sate my curiosity lol
Thanks @methosivanhoe
That's what I like with S7 camera, a lot of ways to play with....
I've been shooting the sky at night with 10 seconds exposure, and it's very nice...
haven't tried that yet... might have to give it a go sometime
i'm at a burlesque shoot this weekend, so i'll take the phone along with me and see how it performs next to my 1DX lol, i know it won't stand up fully to it, but it'll be a fun comparison of the samsung 'raw' files vs a proper DSLR raw file for me to compare quality
Thank you all for the answer. Now i have better understanding on shutter speed.
shutter speed is basically how long you expose the shot for... 1/24000 is stupidly fast really
easier to explain it with a photo

short shutter speeds, like 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000 and so on, freeze any movement... like falling water, running people, whips, and so on... the faster the shutter speed, the higher the fraction... so 1/24000 is the fastest i've ever seen, which is saying something as top line pro cameras like the Canon 1DX only go up to 1/8000th of a second shutter speed.
it's a tradeoff really, to use 1/24000 shutter speed, you need more light around to get the same exposure... so either taking photos with a hell of a lot of light, or boosting the ISO up so it exposes right

Thanks @methosivanhoe
That's what I like with S7 camera, a lot of ways to play with....

I wish I could get the shots im looking for of the night sky with a 10 second exposure. I am trying to find a camera app that will give me a 30 second exposure.
What ISO setting are you using along with the 10 second exposure? Also, do you have any pictures you could post?

Has anyone tried setting shutter speed in Pro Mode to 1/24000? Whenever i set to 1/24000 the screen become dark even my ISO was set to 800. When we need to use 1/24000 shutter speed?

Here's a picture I clicked at 2 in the afternoon with the sun shining bright at 40°C and the shutter speed set to 1/24000. Note that it was an extremely bright sunny day when this was clicked. I am no pro photographer in this was actually the first time I used the shutter speed feature and got a pleasing result

very nice @Mr_PoPoP
underexposed shadows is definitely the only use i can think of for that speed, unless i could wire the phone through to studio lighting, then i might get some use out of it just to sate my curiosity lol
