So back when I still had my Canon T2i I had a viewfinder which magnified the 3" display 2.8x.

. In the ad it mentioned the cinematic experience and strangely enough it wasn't a lie. It looked amazing. However, because of the low amount of pixels it was quite easy to count them.
Now, I think the Note 2 has a lot of potentional to also be turned into a cinema beast, for watching movies for example. The cool thing about the viewfinder was that from the inside it even looked like a theater, due to the shape and a soft material which contributed to the overall feel. Pretty cool. This thread is mainly meant for creative ideas, since there aren't any 5'5" double eyed viewfinders out there. So join in, see who else is interested.
Would be amazing if this could materialize. Keeping track of this thread.

:good: So I did find a (rare) dual viewfinder, for the Canon 5D3 etc, which is suitable for 3.2" screens. This pic is for reference and perhaps an idea. The issue with finding the right magnification has to do with the focal length/point, size of the magnifier and the piece that would connect to the screen.

Thought I'd have a look at the quuality of the camera, compared to the Desire. Discovered that I have a problem with focus on the left side of the picture, and wondered whether anyone else has it.
3 photos, reduced using the same method. Canon (for reference), DHD and Desire:

Now, we can look at 1:1 crops to examine the quality:
You can see that stuff on the left is out of focus - this shot shows it well:
Finally, my phone is an early one with bad camera and sim cover alignment. Not sure if it matters, but here are close ups anyway. Anyone else with a left hand focus issue?
I can definitely see your point, I will test this on my DHD tomorrow.
i can just about see it, but honestly i would worry more about the over sharpening and terrible white balance on this phone. testing it earlier it gave my girlfriend the skin tone of a Simpson...
just took a shot outside, havnt changed any settings
I've just taken delivery of a DHD and have exactly the same left side focus problem. How did you resolve this - or you returned / replaced your unit?
weird. mine seems to be fine.
Wow, LG really wanted to copy Samsung's ideas. At first they announce the awful 4:3 ratio Vu and next thing you know it's also going to sport a stylus too. Link below from Engadget:

Everyone copies someone at some point. The great thing about Android is that there is choice. Whether that is removable battery, screen aspect ratio or physical keyboard, screen resolution etc.
I wouldn't buy the LG Vu primarily because of it's UI and the lack of frequent updates LG is famous for, but hating LG for all that doesn't benefit or justify our purchase. The point is to keep android going and let the costumers decide for themselves.
This thread reminds me of the type of blogs i read labeled as "Slide to unlock is OURS! No-one else should have it!" Samsung didn't invent the stylus, but i am glad it is present on my phone.
Well this really'd be better to make notes with this thing. But It's definitely would be worse to watch HD movies and to hold this in one hand and also you'll need bigger pocket for carrying this.
I thought the screen looked pretty good until I played this video and noticed the grass didn't look right. Then I played it on my XYBoard 8.2 and WOW what a difference! The XYBoard has an IPS screen just like the N7, so I'm not comparing it to a Super AMOLED, just another screen of the same technology.
I should mention that both are at max brightness. And it's not that the N7's screen is just brighter, because the whites on the XYBoard's screen are actually brighter than the whites on the N7's screen.
I'm wondering if there is some way to adjust the contrast and saturation...
XYBoard is top, N7 is bottom:

Happens after HD playback. There's a script you run to fix it. Also I would love some contrast and color control as well...

I too find that my nexus lacks contest and- to a lesser extent- saturation.

as per the other thread on this , if you are rooted and dont mind paying for the app here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.widgets.big.tegra.prism.toggle
it fixes it.. i noticed quite a difference..
Try a test-card image and you'll probably see that yellows, green and cyan are really weak. I'm pretty sure this relates to the badly calibrated screens mentioned here: http://www.displaymate.com/news.html#8 and all devices have it.
As the title says. Mostly annoying as it rattles when tapping on the screen. Here's a video, you might need to turn up your volume to hear.

It also has a green tint in the top left corner most visible using the browser. To top it off also a loose top back cover. I've heard Samsung's quality control sucks but so many issues in one device. It's made in Vietnam by the way.

Maybe you just got a device that got hit by something. I don't have this on my device. It feels very sturdy and all buttons feel smooth.
Just go back to the store and tell them. No need to break down Samsung's quality department because of this. Every product has a few bad experiences...
Bought it online locally so the video was for them to see and exchange. Just thought i'd share since I'd already recorded.
Photos of the green tint they couldn't see.They claim it's not there based on these photos.

Here's another photo with just a white background i'll try.
I just wonder how such a broken device passes through quality control.
My SAM 3 is also from Vietnam....bought recent and its blue....let me test it first.
I was just reading the review of the SGS 4 on GSMArena for fun and came to see something weird (according to me). Maybe am just completely missing something.....any help would be good
My SGS 4 seemingly lacks the 360 panorama mode. but on the review, it indeed had the 360 panorama as a mode to choose from.
take a look at the screenshot of the different modes from the review.

also I quote from the review...
"Let's go over the different modes. There are standard modes like Rich Tone (HDR), Panorama, Night and Sports. Panoramas are pretty impressive, they go a full 360° circle or more and can be as big as 60MP (note that if you hold the phone vertically, the panorama image will have nearly more than twice the resolution). "
"Then we get into the more interesting shots. 360 photo is Samsung's name for Photo Sphere, which creates a spherical panorama, similar to those in Street View. "
am using wanamlite 1.8 with many many modifications of my own,but personally I have never ever seen that 360 panorama mode on my S4 ever. am using it for some 6 months or so....
awaiting answers, please don't bash
regards,
achyut.
