Hi guys, just wanted to say that besides from picture size difference.
The 6mp and 16mp are no different. zooming capabilities and clarity etc are the same.
the only different is that one weights more than the other in size...
anyone?

gonna go and compare in computer... quality should be the same since they have the same lens

Okay, well the size of it matters. The lense may be the same, but the sensor (actual camera) is completely different.

oh, i meant sensor xD not lense, sorry. So.. here is a pic, left is 16mp and right is 6mp, both were shot from the S5.

So, As we can see. There is little to no diffence when the image is far to mid zoom. but when closed zoom, almost zooming to the limits xD, the 16mp wins..
So I can say that, both are the same sht, 16mp wins when you tend to zoom to the limits.
This proves that the sensor in this thing does all the job but MP does help (do not know how) when zooming the image.

Actually the Megapixels are used only to capture more details when zoomed however as you probably know the size of the Image file in 6 MegaPixels (16:9) is 3264x1836 currently most of the monitors are 1920x1080 so even with 6 Megapixels you will have twice the number of pixels then the once on your Phone or Monitor so when not zoomed any picture bigger then 2 megapixels will looks exactly the same on your monitor or phone. However when you zoom you will see that the bigger picture hase more details and it`s much crisp in lines.
So it really depends on what kind of photos you want but there is no need to always shoot with 16 megapixels.
I also think that this is the reason why iPhone always put 8 megapixels on there cameras you actually don`t need more then that as 8 megapixels are enough to shoot 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios photos with enough details to see on your screen.
The quality of the pictures including traits such as color reproduction and sharpness shouldn't be affected by the megapixel change. Only pixel count changes.

Pixel count is more about marketing then quality. Less but larger pixels would help low light performance but too many people believe pixels = quality.

i had the device for 2 weeks and i noticed that the images quality are not good and when zooming it becomes so blured and not acceptable ...... any options or solution to this problem ??
One back up data and factory reset .
No cure = return to seller .

well, how far are you zooming in? It's a "digital zoom" which is a phrase I hate. It doesn't really zoom in, it just crops the picture then enlarges it.

let's say we zoom in on his face using digital zoom
it will take just this little portion
and blow it up
great answer viper98
Unfortunatelly most people don't know the diference between optical and digital zooms...
xdafun4all, if you really want to use zoom without sacrificing quality, the best bet, is aproaching the subject you want on the picture, Using the zoom from the Galaxy S2, Iphone, Pixon, N8, or from any other phone (you name it, i doubt there hare phones out there that have optical zoom built in) will not make miracles...

Digital Zoom = BOGUS.
Yeah even most "high end" point and shoot cameras have **** zooms, even on my 7d I gotta watch for camera shake whilst zooming lol... Tho that's a different story.

Touch the part of the image you need focus once for better focus and then take the picture without altering the position or the zoom.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Also just in case, check cameras settings, make sure you don't have focus set to macro.
This will most diffidently give you blurry pictures unless they are extreme close ups...
Hope this helps.

As said many times in this thread's 9 posts,digital zoom is pure bull****.Take the photo unzoomed and crop the part you want zoomed on your PC.It's the exact same thing.
The only camera that never gave me problems with digital zooming is my Nikon D7000.It was for testing purposes,there is no point in digital zooming with a DSLR but anyway.That thing costs about 1250 euros and takes photos at 16.6mpx,but that's another story.
Our tab may not have the best camera but I noticed that after the 4.1.1 upgrade, camera output has improved. Here are some photos from our photo walk earlier today. All taken by the P1000 with no post processing whatsoever.

Yes sir you're right. I admit they're nothing compared to photos taken by entry level dslr and there's a reason for that. DSLR have bigger sensors and better optics quality. I but for a tablet, i guess these are fine..

Are you seriously comparing a mere SGT7 3.0MP to entry level dslrs? Not to mention the sensors.

Those are nice OP. Gotta say I'm jealous. The camera has been broken for me in everyone of the roms I've flashed to my Tab. I really need to figure out why that is
I was comparing, basing it on the price

Those are awesome pics! Did you just use the default camera? I'm actually very interested in using my tab for photography too. Have you tried Camera FV-5 app? It gives more control over your pictures and even lets you shoot in PNG format
I'll share my shots when I get the time.
The camera on the SGT7 works well when there's sufficient lighting, but fares rather poorly in low light conditions (as with most mobile devices). Attached a couple of photos I took during a recent vacation.

Has anyone considered this? One thing megapixels do is to give you some latitude (given no optical zoom) for digital zoom. 28mm is a fairly wide, wide angle lens. 50mm is considered a normal view, reproducing the view humanoids see.

I worry that One has sacrificed digital zoom considerably for low light performance.

50mm is only human view like if you got a full format sensor DSLR.

In a normal camera I'd agree, but phones have essentially no optical zoom. Still, not sure how it will work out in reality so I'm hoping the camera will be good overall - as long as it is I'll be buying this phone.
I really, really like the idea of low light photography. Were it not for AT&T trampstamp in US and mediocre audio, I would have got a Lumia 920 for camera. But living with a 28 mm (35mm film equiv) lens without much optical zoom latitude scares me. Heck, I may decide to get one anyway. But it scares me and I think it will keep away a lot of photo buffs.
doesnt need a thread, zoom is fail on ultra pixel without even asking
you know the trade off so make your choice

Zoom is even a fail on 13mp camera! Better crop pictures afterwards than using digital zoom! Well. There 4mp are in the bad.

Just forget about dig.zoom or crops in HTC Ones camera. I have Nokia N8 and I can do 2x zoom without significant quality degradation even when showing pictures on 60" fullHD TV so I will buy One only for moments and rather take my N8 to vacation
Digital zoom is crap no matter what device or megapixel camera.
I don't use digital zoom even at my conventional camera. Just optical is usable.

just cant agree... even minimal zoom can help a lot and dont need to totaly destroy the detail...many people still do crops and guess what? Crop is the dig.zoom in pink colour dont be so limited...even some more than hobby photographs use crop at home sometimes...trus me I know some of them and when you dont see ruined detail everything is allowed
Is it just me or does the i9505 camera seem like it's preset to be quite zoomed in? Compared to my iPhone 4s and normal camera, it's really hard to capture wide angle shots. Don't get me wrong, I love the phone and the camera quality is superb except for this rather annoying 'issue'. Yes, I have zoomed out of the digital zoom. It's probably the equivalent of a 50mm lens whereas an iPhone is equivalent to a 30mm lens - big difference!
Has anyone else noticed this?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4
What resolution is the camera taking pictures at? if you have it on 9.6M (Wide Lens) it can seem quite zoomed in, try changing it to 13M, you will get the full quality of the camera.
It doesn't make a difference if it's 9.6 or 13m for me... Photos still appear like they're zoomed in
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4
I retract that... I took a photo with the wide lens (9.6mp) then at the same spot with the 13mp and it indeed makes a big difference! Why is that? Crazy!
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4
It appears at "wide angle" the camera simply "chops off" the bottom of the normal 13MP frame which makes the camera appear like it's zoomed in...

The problem is related to the S4's poor FOV (field of view) compared to other cameras/smartphones. Take a look at some reviews comparing it to the HTC One et al.

Even if you're right, that makes a very negligible difference, check the image above.
Ok taking pictures the s7 edge is in 4:3 mode which I absolutely hate! I have no ideal why samsung done this
Is there any way to make it in top MP 16:9?
I think the sensor is 4:3 so to get 16:9 it's cropped from that, thus lowering the resolution.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
Man o man was this excluded from leaks and reports , my only regret is cam
go to settings on camera and change it from 4:3 to 16.9 but if you change to 16:9 it will lower resoulution to like 9.1 mp

Aware of that but that is what I want to avoid.
You're cropping the sensor size is why. Sensors are 4:3 and to create a 16:9 image you aren't using part of the sensor.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
Very few cameras have a 16:9 sensor, not just phones.
So my questions is, how did the Note5 manage to take them 16:9 and keep the full resolution.
Where all of those pictures cropped?

Custom sensor, just like the Sony phone that takes 16:9.
All 12 mp phones I've seen take 4:3. All 16 mp cameras I see take 16:9.
