desire vs stock cam - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys i was wondering what everybodys opinon was on the quality of the two. picture and video recording. Im actually more intersted in the 480p option because he 720p is just to jerky and with jagged lines and very low framerate. I would much rather have smooth video vs choppy high def

No comparison, I actually abandoned cyanogen to get the desire cam. It's night and day, htc cam wins.

I don't know, I'm torn. I like all of the settings in the new cam in cm6. There are a lot of settings and tweaks, and i also like the icon better. but yeah man, i agree that its like night and day.

Where and how can I get the desire camera application?
My phone is rooted but still has stock 2.2 android. Does that matter?

I just switched to Enoms ROM the other day from Cyanogen RC3... and I love the Desire cam and the HTC Music app far more than the Android defaults. And even though Music Mod makes so good changes to the default music app, it doesn't sync with Last FM, but the HTC Music app does. The Desire cam is not only more visually pleasing on the screen, and easier to operate... plus has touch to focus, but I feel it takes a better picture with the same camera hardware... this could easily be a placebo effect though.

[Q] Htc incredible s Camera

Hi guys. I had a htc hd2.. the camera didnt work so i got my money back.. Going to buy a htc incredible s i think (maybe desire hd)
I was wondering how the front and back facing camera are? when you record a video with the back camera does the sound suck? i saw a video by pocketnow and it was really bad.
+ does the phone lag sometimes ? anyone tested quadrant yet?
camera's are perfect (my opinion)
recording sounds hmm well its not a professional camera but hey its a phone... but far away best i had so far.
highest quadrant score i had was 1791 but you should not look at those scores because its score of a specific moment...
i havent got lag at all so far, except the first minutes i started it, but hey setting up is normal i hope
after that went faster and faster.
well very short said, i dont regret buying this phone.
First score was 1550
Camera both front and back are amazing IMO.
Coming from a Galaxy S
Cheers

How's the Video Recording Quality for the Incredible S?

Been thinking of whether or not to get an HTC Incredible S, but I'm questioning the video recording quality on the device. I've heard that HTC's cameras aren't very spectacular in the past, and I wonder if it's been improved on the Incredible S. Taking a look at the photos thread, the camera seems alright. But I want to know if that's the same case for video recording, both visually and audio-wise.
Thanks.
My personal exp. With using the incredible s is that it does the job and is very underrated by a lot online unboxing and overall reviews...I hate the fact that it records in .3gp format. But to me,visually, its amazing compared to other devices I've used with 720p recording... And as far as the sound, it could be better,but but overall in my opinion very good..

imo, for a smartphone...it's great. A little jittery, pending the lighting and the amount of movement, as well as the setting. I find the 720p setting better than the wvga setting, however it does take up a lot more space. Zooming in is a little shakey, but it could be the screen protector that I have on the screen.

Quality of the camera?

How would you guys rate the camera in the incredible S? I am finding it OK but no where near as good as my wife's sgs2. What's your thoughts? I had an iPhone 4 before and I'd put it in the same bracket as that.

It's good if you're on a custom Rom

i'm using htc amaze camera in my IS and its by far the best mobile cam i've used even compared it with sgs2 it beat the **** out sgs2 in stills
For me, I found the quality of IncS camera just average. It's too much noise and doesn't perform good in low light condition. Even my previous Hero (5M) has better quality than it.
I've never had any problems. It think the picture quality is excellent. Some of the still images I have look better than pictures my gf took on her 14mpx camera.

I must try and do a side by side comparison v an SGS2, I've found on the phone screen when look at it pics seem fine, when you download them and display on the computer they have no where near as much detail i've found them a bit artefact. This was a photo I took on a SGS2, I've always loved how much detail it gives.

The image you have provided looks somewhat overexposed. There's also no comparison pic to understand the issues you have brought up.
There's a guide for the dhd here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875230 you might be able to apply some of the settings on the Inc s.
the stock camera is great - but once you get rid of Sense by flashing a AOSP ROM, the camera sucks. I have CM7.1 and the one thing I miss is the Sense camera.
It is RUBBISH!

couldn't have said it better - any other form of camera except the sense one is crap
but having said that, the sense one is excellent imo
PS key2gb - check out Nik SensationXL rom, i value speed and performance of my phone over almost anything else, but his sense rom gives fantastic performance, best ive used by a mile - and i got my camera back lol
It's better than any other camera I've had one a phone.
Consider the following:
It's a phone.
Nice cam in Nik`s 2.5 rom
Buy a dslr cam if u want a good 1..4 what u want to compare incs with s2?? Cam..lol

I hear that the camera in Inc S is the best that HTC put in their phones (maybe Sensation have it even better).
I´ve got before Inc S classic phone without OS Sony Ericsson C905 (from Cyber-Shot family), and in compare, SE takes pictures better (hmmm... I think it takes the best pictures in whole world of mobile phones). But if you have enough lightened scene, then Inc S takes nice pictures.
It´s the matter of view. If I want take a quick picture of something, it is enough. For better pictures I rather take DSLR.
The quality of the camera with the stock ROM is really great. Switching to a custom rom you loose something, but considering the big picture, I wouldn't be back. HTC will probably never update this phone to ICS.

It's fine, but the flash led can not flash with correct situation.
It is no good , but you may try to install the third software of camera , for example :LG camera, 360 camera , it's better
The quality of HTC IS Camera seems quite good for me. But compared to my previous (Sams i8910) phone its certanly worse...
The i8910 had one of the best cameras! It has juicy colors in photos and video! Was checking it with my friend's Nokia N8, my i8910 and HTC IS.
1) Nokia N8
2) Samsung i8910 Omnia HD
3) HTC Incredible S

funny, I was just checking out his thread. I want to wait for CM9 to come out and then I might switch back to Sense. I really like my set up right now and I'm interested to see what CM9 brings to the table.

Low picture quality with aosp!

Hi all,
I've got a problem:
When im taking photos with my rooted incredible s runnning aosp rom (CM7, MIUI all versions, icsbeta) the quality is very bad and the focus is very laggy, there is also alot of overexposure. Theres also alot grain in darker pictures.
When im installing sense based roms (tried 3) then the quality and focus/exposure is good again.

This is a issue on all aosp roms because they don't have HTC camera drivers. However there is a aosp ics rom called virtuous quattro 4.0.3 that doesn't have camera lag however its not fully working.
God damn it I love this question.
Thats really the biggest weak point of aosp.
The roms are just great!, i like miui alot!
But the downside is the cam,
I've not seen this question somewere else, is it that only the ins suffers the most?
Other cam apps wont bother.
I just want best of both worlds together.
The cam of htc rulezz and interface and possibilities of miui rulezz.
(With MIUI i get 3200quadrant
and 3750 antutu oc stable on 1.5)
All HTC phones run crap camera rez without sense
My CM7 seems decent quality with no lag?

[Q]about camera and lag

i got my note last week and have playing with it and loved it...i previously have s2 but since i saw note in the mall...i have fallen in love with it
but somethings bothering me..
before i take a pic ...it was clear perhaps hd but after taking the picture and
i look the the gallery ... the pictue look maybe a little dark...or dim
maybe a setting will fix this ?
and lag in waking up? about 2-3 ?
thx for the help pips
I think this is the nature of this camera. When we try shoot a pic the visual which we see in display is before image processing after click image sensor do some modification to the image and it delivers to gallery. So probably this is not a defect or problem... its designed like that..and i don't think samsung phones are known for good quality shooter. No offense.
are you using the stock camera? i have noticed that other camera apps works much better compared to the stock one, my favorite is camera zoom fx, paid app though, for me it gives better pictures compared to the stock one. there are plenty of good free ones out there too. have a look around the play store =]
It's a brightness difference. When you load the stock camera the phone brightness goes really high (you can even make it brighter by switching outdoor visibility on). After taking a picture and going to gallery, you're screen goes back to original brightness that's why it looks dim/blurred but it's not.

You are right.. Stock camera app is little bad.. Evn though if we are using another good app finally lens and image sensor matters.. I don't think samy is using better lens than Carl zies or something. I would say samy and HTC are little poor compared to nokia's and son's lens (of thinking they both use same lenses). This is upto my knowledge.. Correct me if am wrong.
