Sniff...Nokia920 Cam schools ours so bad!

Was in ATT this morning and did a bunch of comparisons...really no contest...especially in low light..(he let me use the back room).
You KNOW camera upgrades must be the next stop on Samsungs Galaxy roadmap.

I certainly hope so. The camera from the Note 1 isn't notable, at least in my usage. It's a lot faster, that's for sure. But now most of the time the images aren't as clear because it just snaps the picture right away instead of focusing...
I really hope they fix this with firmware updates because I'm kind of disappointed. But I got this phone for the screen and pen as well as the camera. It's still a very good camera in well lit situations, but as you said, low light is a shame... a darn shame...

Imao the Smartphone itself is pretty nice and so is wp8! The only thing that (still) bothers me is the lack of Apps in the wp store. And that existing Apps are partwise just terrible programmed (e.g. superslow whatsapp)

Did you try the low light mode on note 2? It works great for me! Btw, i haven't compared the two for camera performance myself, but going by reviews it seems Lumia 920 takes better low light shots but note 2 captures better daylight shots. I also like the colours captured by note 2 better and more natural than lumia's. Having said that, i however do think that samsung needs to improve upon the low light camera performance on deafult settings (which btw is better than my Xperia S though).

Maybe the 920 takes better pictures, but it doesn't mean the Note 2 camera isn't great. There's a thread here showing off how great the camera is and if I had to choose between the 920's current camera and feature set or the Note 2's current camera and feature set...it's Note 2 all day.

Meh......i'm in more lighted situations when taking pics anyway. And when i'm not i use the "low light" setting. Would never jump to a smaller screen and a choked OS just for better low light pics....lol

[Q] Does camera really sucks ?

Hi,
so i'm looking for any information about Nexus 4, as i'm trying to get one, but i see in some posts that the camera sucks... I also check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039553 and i would know if anyone could post a pic before/after the mod. Just to see what is the real pic quality.
Thanks !

A lot more noise compared to gf s3

Sucks is a pretty strong word. There are plenty of sample pics in the N4 forums so do a search or simply look through the threads in General.
There is a lot of noise in low light... but this is common with tiny sensors. In good light it is capable of very good photos, but saturation and sharpening are a bit laid back. As an experienced photographer I actually prefer this as opposed to other cameras that pump these up by default. Always easier to add then to subtract in post.
Compared to the best phoneCam out there (iPhone), the weakest link is the lens. It is exceptionally prone to flare, and resolution tends to fall off steeply in the corners and there is not alot you can do with these in post. All in all I think it is a pretty good camera for a phone, and if you know what you're doing you will get good shots.

I would just say it's mediocre. It's okay in good light but is worthless in low light conditions.

Coming from a S3, I'm not disappointed.

Coming from a Galaxy Nexus the camera is great.

Coming from a N8, heavily disappointed.
Yah, terrible comparison, I know.

My s3 did have a better camera but I wouldn't say it sucks I still like it a lot and it gets the job done. The only thing I don't like is it keeps auto focusing even if I'm holding it still i prefer to just hold the center blue button to focus and take a picture

its not as good as the gs2 either. there is a lot of noise, even in daylight. hdr is a must for low light pics. the imagine software in barebones android leaves a lot to be desired.

it really does, it creates alot of noise. i had an ipod touch 4g before this and that camera sucked so i thought this would be a huge upgrade, but it really not. i also bought an ipod touch 5g and the 5g's camera is better than the nexus

I do notice the noise in the sky, I just choose not to care. It's a phone, after all Also it was approaching sunset, wasn't very vibrant anymore to begin with. Sure as hell beats the camera on the Galaxy Nexus.

Is there any app available that can improve the picture quality?

Coming from a htc sensation, same quality. 10% worse maybe. Panorama is rubbish compared to the sensation though.

my Nexus S with 5MP did a better job

Yep, camera isn't good,. Video too. Focus is dodgy on both and the microphones and sound quality on video is ****. The video and audio bit rate is way too low.
Very disappointed coming from a s2.
In fact once the s4 comes out I'm going straight back to Samsung .. Even if it means I don't get the latest android versions.
The n4 is slick but that's about it. Lets face it, it's heavy and quite thick, battery is crap, camera and sound quality is crap, the build quality is questionable.. Mine creaks above the volume and the buttons are loose, it's fragile has no SD card, has no removable battery.
Now the hype has gone its meh.

Laggy viewfinder in darkness

I love almost everything about this phone, but I knew it couldn't be perfect.
When it's even somewhat dark, I noticed that the viewfinder lags like crazy, to the point where you're not even sure what shot you're going to get. I have the AT&T version. Can anyone confirm this behavior on the International or Verizon versions?
With a Snapdragon 800, there's really no excuse for this. I'm sure a software update could resolve it, but it's currently my ONLY beef with the phone.

Really? So I'm the only one this happens to? You don't notice a low frame rate in the viewfinder in darkness?

yeah, when you're in camera mode in the dark, it's a very low framerate. most phones have this issue because it's switching to a high ISO or even night mode to allow more light into the lens, which in turns makes a low FPS screen

Wow, I've bought the G2 last Sunday and the camera is really extremely laggy in low light!
I mean, the viewfinder works at ~5 fps! Also, the pictures become extremely smudgy, like everything is made of wax.
My Samsung Galaxy S 1 (one, yes the first SGS, GT-I9000) does not do that!
I'm so disapointed because this phone has everything I want from a phone and I was expecting so much more from the camera...
Now I see that the original post was made on September 14. It's October 23 and still no update from LG whatsoever.
I have 15 days to return the phone, maybe that's what I will do.

Bigger question is how do the pics themselves come out?

Really blury/smudgy, like everything is made of wax.

This has been my biggest gripe with this phone,unsure if it'll ever be fixed but i hope so. Traded in my note 3 because of the size and that's the one and only thing i dislike about the g2, but its a big concern =\. Concert and bar outing later, all smudged

I agree with this....don't try to take pictures in a dark area...no point it'll come out BAD smudgy and awful. I hope they fix this.

Noticed this problem over the weekend at a nightclub. Granted it is pretty dark in there, but I'd expect to at least be able to focus an image from 5 feet away but nope, pics came out very blurred and the viewfinder was useless. I hope there's a fix soon.

Kinda disappointed (good if you want to buy z1)

Hello xda members, I bought this phone because i thought it would be an awesome phone. Which it kind of is but still not. And i am writing this so people who wants to buy this phone gets a some information about the phone. And yes i know there are a thread like this, but one is only positive and the other is only negative etc.
In general this phone is a beast, it look good really premium feeling. But when using it for a couple of days i fins so much in this phone that is really bad that i seriously consider changing phone.
I am not make this phone look bad or so, it is still a awesome phone but these things is not acceptable imo. And all of these things that i will write are IMO
- ´The camera is really good, it takes sharp pictures and is quite good when it is dark (but should be better), but god damn the camera app is terrible. There are no options at all! You can't do a sh*t, and when taking pictures of "landscape" the picture turns out great, but when you zoom in every single detail is blury as hell (look attachment). A phone with 20MP should have much better camera app and more features.
- The battery life isn't good, I used only GSM and no wifi, lowest brightness and the only thing i did was texting and looking at the clock. But the phone was still consuming quite a lot battery..
- The wifi performance is bad, i have a samsung galaxy s2 too and i put the phones on the table and my samsung has stronger signal (which leads to "faster" internet).
- The viewing angels are bad but it's okej i can live with that not such a big problem.
- The bezel is way to big, the phone could be smaller and still keep the display size, because the phone feels a little bit to big and doesn't feel so good in the hand.
- And last but not least there are a few things they should fix in their "ROM", that are bugging me.
But overall it really is a great phone, but these things makes me consider changing phone.
Hope those of you who want to buy this phone thinks this is useful.
The first picture is in auto mode, and the other one is in manual mode.

have to agree with you on the camera. when you take a photo it looks really nice, but when you zoom in it's a like a painting lol. no sharpness whatsoever. hopefully it'll get improve with further update. i thought the battery would be much better, but i find it the same as my old htc one and that's 2300mah.

Not my experience at all. These aren't even the sharpest shots I've taken - you should see the ones I snapped of the outside of the Natural History Museum. Hell, you should see the ones I took of the ceiling inside the natural history museum.

It's a cameraphone,... I'm just not sure what people were expecting. Of course it's not a DSLR but it's pulling in far more detail in every 8mp image than any 13mp phone picture I've taken.

I did - self selected Night Portrait mode at 8mp 4:3. The other version of this shot was actually captured using superior auto (I know!). SA decided to turn on "Spotlight Mode" as the interior of the truck was bright and the exterior was in full darkness. It became a very interesting shot!
The full samples are in the link (above). Click on the image in the gallery. This takes you into Lightbox mode. Then right click the image and select "original". This is the full resolution image. Right click again, select "Save As" and resize and inspect to your heart's content.
All of the images in the gallery above are as they were out of the phone. No post processing, no photoshopping. Many of them were taken in Manual with me selecting scene modes but if you see a 16:9 shot it was taken with Superior Auto.

Well i must say i had HTC One which was tricked out, with a modified stock rom and a custom kernel with all the bells and whistles, I use my z1 with wifi connected when im at home and 3g when im out and about, its my main media player, so i use it for mp3's and what not aswell as whatsapp and a few other apps, i got to say the battery life is about the same as my old htc one, bearing in kind, the z1 has a bigger screen and a faster processer. Ok i agree with the bezel it could be better, its still a well built phone and in terms of looks i think the htc one is the only phone which will top it for now.
I dont know whats wrong with your z1 but my pics come out great but then again i dont use superior auto mode, i have no issues with wifi, i get very good speed even when i only have 2 bars. it is known that some phones do not give an accurate read out(GIYF). How long has this phone been out? and how many updates have been made? its a brand new phone only released a few weeks back, fixes will come out, have some patience.

I start to believe that there is different hardware in each batches of this phone,like sony did with the screen.

There is nothing wrong like that the picture a really good it's just that the pictures taken at landscape shown in attachment. everything becomes blury when zoomed in. And that the camera app kinda suck if you compare to other phones even though this phone has a great camera and that the camera is something sony focused on.

My friend i own Xperia T and Xperia Z1 and so far the Xperia T is THE BEST CAMERA PHONE EVER.
The quality when you zoom in to the pictures with Xperia T is better than my digital cameras.
The noise at Xperia Z1 pictures is worst than my Xperia arcS.
The same think happened with Xperia Z also.
After the update to 4.2 the camera quality went to [email protected]
I hope that is a software problem that can be fixed.
Last but not least.
Xperia T at superior auto captures at 12Mp and the Z1 flagship at 8Mp.

Yes I had this problem and it was taking so long to boot I thought the phone was dead.
Finally after waiting as long as 10 minutes for it to boot it started up. It would get very hot during this and use as much as 5% of battery. I found it would do the same thing even when booted in safe mode or after I had removed all of my apps.
From what I can see it is some sort of software problem that happens after the installed apps are updated when you initially configure the phone. I can't tell which app is the problem. Another weird thing is that it was carrying over settings from my last phone (lock screen text etc) that are not compatible and this may have been a problem as well.
I did a factory reset and setup again and it did the same thing after a day of use. So I did a factory reset and then did not upgrade the apps or do a sync right away to my Google account and so far so good and I powered off and back on this morning with no issues. So I am not going to update the core apps for now and maybe I have it fixed.

yea i know, but i meant when you have 20MP there are no settings you can change only when 8MP, but the biggest lack (imo) is that they don't have features like for example drama, slow motion etc that galaxy s4 has, htc one also has the slow motion thing.

What's your problem with the camera anyway? It shoots wonderful images as long as there is enough daylight.
Keep in mind it is a SMARTPHONE, not some kind of DSLR camera. Photos will never be as good as a real camera, the lens is simply too small.

Compared to other smartphone in life light the lg is wank, nobody is trying to compare it to a standard or DSLR camera, ffs people just don't get it, the lg G2 camera is amazing when in optimal light but indoors my HTC one S pisses all over it because the lag in low light on the lg g2 causes blurring very bad blurring but my HTC one S focusses and takes pictures as fast indoors as it does outdoors shall I continue ? Has the penny dropped yet COMPARED TO OTHER SMARTPHONE CAMERAS THE LGG2 LAGS IN LOW LIGHT !

The view finder in G2 is slow because it relies on long shutter time to get a bright picture in low light. What people want is that it uses high ISO instead, because having noise in the view finder isnt bad as long as normal pictures still use the higher shutter time. Will this affect the picture? Probably not, but it will give a feeling of a less laggy camera at least.

Excuse me guys, I'm really interested in buying this phone but I'm a bit confused about low light photos. I mean, the "lag" in taking low light photos is expected so to increase light intake. How are low light photos compared to other smartphones? I come from a HTC One S.
Thanks.

Thanks. And about low light (e.g. indoors) photos what do you think? Are they worse than on the One S? I mean, it's obvious that a very still hand is needed, that's not a bug, but how is the photo quality?

This was me messing with the camera for some reason this morning, untouched, room has poor lighting

In low light with the flash on it takes about 5 second's to take a picture but the quality is amazing and with flash off you have to stay so still so no point and shoot like you can with the HTC one S

In low light with the flash on it takes about 5 second's to take a picture but the quality is amazing and with flash off you have to stay so still so no point and shoot like you can with the HTC one S

I see, thanks. So with no flash, given that you can manage to stay still, the quality is good too?

Don't hesitate about upgrading from HTC one S you'll love it

I don't use the flash in low light and yes, if the object or person is still, it takes awesome pics in low light situations.

What's your problem with the camera anyway? It shoots wonderful images as long as there is enough daylight.
Keep in mind it is a SMARTPHONE, not some kind of DSLR camera. Photos will never be as good as a real camera, the lens is simply too small.

I used nearly all smartphone brands in the market and G2's camera is the most disappointing one for me. Although s3 has 8mp camera it gives better reslults. In my opinion 13mp cam with OIS must be far better.

The view finder in G2 is slow because it relies on long shutter time to get a bright picture in low light. What people want is that it uses high ISO instead, because having noise in the view finder isnt bad as long as normal pictures still use the higher shutter time. Will this affect the picture? Probably not, but it will give a feeling of a less laggy camera at least.

Being laggy is also one of the worst parts of the camera and I hoped that at least LG can resolve that issue with the KK update.
Welldone LG You didn't surprise us again.
