Hey guys, been watching a few videos on the Nexus 4 now and one thing that has really impressed me so far is the video recording, and more specifically the microphone when recording.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IZIG-YnLhE
Just thought I'd shove this video here, im sure some of you have seen it already but is it just me or is the microphone really clear?
Im currently using the iPhone 4s and the microphone isn't as good as this. The video is a little shaky but I'm sure if mounted on a tri-pod (with an adapter of course) it should work fine.
Edit, then again, this video says otherwise.. http://youtu.be/M4CbYXKxj6I
The microphone is average, but the frame rate overwhelms it on the negative side.
Can anyone mod a 30fps video or is the problem of 22fps , in the sensor itself ?
The sensor IS capable of 30fps (even more). Software isn't taking full advantage of the sensor. Maybe on a more recent build the problem is already fixed, but no one on more recent builds posted an unedited video
Wat sensor does it have?

I take my Atrix 2 as a benchmark, and since it's a phone from end-2011, for progress' sake, the N4 should beat it hands down.
Sound-wise, the Atrix 2 does near camcorder-quality and beats the N4 by a long shot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ii2Q7FJ5bA
Image-wise, the N4 looks good. Remember that youtube videos are often compressed badly and stutter on their own. It is sharp and there's plenty of details, judging from the op's second link, but the framerate is poor. My Atrix2's recording frame rate is always 30 fps, and image quality is just a tad worse.
So may I ask google, is it that difficult to do, with top-notch hardware, what motorola did 1 year ago with now-outdated chips?
Doesn't youtube cap videos at 30fps?

Nope, It reinterprets higher framerates into 30frames, unless the slowmotion effect is going to be employed, in which case it keeps the extra frames. What looks to be the problem is the recording refresh rate. The output of the codec file is always going to be a standard (24/30 in NTSC, 25 in PAL), whether or not there are actual frames there, is determined by the refresh rate.
My point is that youtube isn't going to reinterpret the video and change the framerate.
What is wrong with the FPS?
This phone just gets worse :\
Im more interested in the mic. In some videos its decent, others its terrible?
The video looks fine, stop complaining. Do I have to go on about the price like everyone does?
This is going to be a hard week, I have to use an iPhone, sold my SGS2 ):

No, it doesn't.
You can go on about the price, but you'll still be wrong, since other devices at a lot of pricing ranges are able to maintain 30fps video recording.
And since not everyone is able to buy from the Google Market (there's a thing called "rest of the world"), and price outside is REALLY higher, you'll be double wrong.
As said a lot around, seems to be a software bug, making the camera module basically "take a lot of photos" instead of "making a video". The camera itself IS able to do [email protected] and [email protected] The S4 processor and 2GB of RAM are more than capable of dealing with the support necessary.
Google/LG are likely to NOT fix it, but I hope someday the community here manages to.
Is it recorded in 1080p? If so I think it will look smooth in 720p.

Bet you lots of money that it's fixed on launch day - producing 30FPS videos like a champ. NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE A FINAL VERSION OF THE SOFTWARE. And judging by the performance increase within the last few days on at least one N4 device, I'm going take an educated guess and say that Google are releasing software updates once every 2 or 3 days before the launch and my honest opinion is that Google are impairing things on purpose so that no one from the company runs off with a device and chucks it on eBay for quad profit.

Well, I'm putting a few chips here. I sincerely hope you win, but I think the chances are abysmal that they care about such "secondary" stuff. They fixed the S4, I saw that benchmark. But no one commented about a camera fix.

Now that was just tinfoilhatted.
Thought I'd post a post-update video test, have to say its looking good, there is no sound though the uploader claims it average either way enjoy

New to this site so Hello
Seems to be several topics on Photo quality but very little on the video camera.
Personally i have no complaints about photo quality, seems a decent upgrade from my iPhone 4s but the video camera does seem kinda poor to me.
also going from iPhone to Android, ive noticed the lack of video camera apps the is within the Playstore
curious to know what others think
Not sure why you are having problems with your video camera but, Z1 is rated on of the best video camera on a smart phone...

thats 1 review. the reviews seem all over the place with this phone. mostly on photo tho. some say the camera is the best available (excluding the Nokia 1020) some say it isnt as good as a Galaxy s4.
Ive found the videos look grainy or faded in well lit areas. sometimes looks like the video is upscaled rather than true 1080p

im really impressed with the video quality and its really good meanwhile i tried most of the smartphones and believe me z1 is damn good in video recording...................
i think the video quality is pretty good on the z1, obviously the king of video recording is the galaxy note 3 with its 4k video capability(Sony take a note here and enable this on our phones damn you). Its not just 1 site which has given the z1 a pretty good video recording score (gsmarena, tech radar, engadget and more). In optimum lighting conditions the quality of the videos are pretty good better than the iphone 5s never mind a 4s, one thing that the z1 does suffer from is when you record in low light, the quality of videos and photos begin to degrade, would have been nice to see some sort of OIS to combat this, but overall i find the z1 a very capable shooter.
shut the steady shot ... and try again thx
Hey all,
I wanted to compare the Nexus 6p and Nexus 5 in terms of performance, so I made a video about it for anyone that is interested.
I must say, the Nexus 5 really put up a good fight...

Cool video bro.
Audio was kinda weird, seemed like it was coming from behind me lol.
And I don't trust web-based tests like youtube etc, since different routers distribute packets differently. Gaming and RAM management were more realistic imho and showed that our trusty N5 can still hold its own against the new gen.
But damn that 6P looks sexy <3

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Sorry about the audio. I'm just getting started with the whole youtube thing, so the only microphones I have available are what's built into my pc and camera
I'll keep in mind your comment about Web based tests for any future comparisons like this.
Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the HTC 10 come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
We don't have 60fps recording. I hope HTC will include it in future updates...
I've tested two HTC 10 - in both cases, videos are choppy, especially during horizontal movement, and high-contrast scenes. I was even sure, that my HTC 10 is broken somehow, but then I get another one, and it works exactly the same. Here you can check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FZSbiOqJEA I'm very disappointed.

yup, same exact issue I am dealing with..very disapppointed

I have exactly the same choppy video issue and I thought it was because of the 200gb micro SD CARD I formatted as adoptable storage. I removed the sd card and shot some videos.Same issue. I checked another phone and it had the same issue again. I don't know if there is a work around solution, but I seriously hope its just software and can be fixed in an update.
I Love the Soundquality of the Videos! You can go to concerts or Partys first Row and still hear everything on the video.

My cam is not choppy. So must been a software update if you all had this problem..
But at least it's good now

this also happens to me but only in full hd mode.4k works fine.
Video on HTC 10 is a disgrace. It has video stabilisation like iPhone 4. It is so bad that I take iPhone 6 whenever I want to make video. Completely unusable option on this phone. My friends S7 Edge videos makes my phone look like junk.
2160p recording has low contrast and a noticeable amount of noise around the edges. I'm happy with it but I've seen better.
HTC 10 is very very good in extremely low light, with modded camera library and Freedcam.
