Those are very good shots for a camera phone. They're above cheap point and shoot cameras.

i agree but that phones is taking pics as good as my wife's 12 mega pixel cannon that's what i fined crazy is the detail its able to pick up

The n8 does even better..but I actually think the 3vo takes nice pictures http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/5895063118/

Yeah the N8's carl ziess lens & xenon flash is nuts. The sensor is freakin huge.
I've been able to pull off some excellent shots with the EVO 3D's camera though.

Those really are very good for a phone.
But, just too many other things I want my phone to do. And I think I am really tied into Android. I am really liking this cloud/mostly open source thing. So going Nokia/Microsoft would be going backwards for me, a former Windows Mobile 5 user. Would that camera and lens combo be great on my EVO 3D? Sure it would but a couple things, I suspect, would have to go.
The 3VO takes just good enough impromptu snapshots for me. If I want keepers, my Nikon D2X and 17-55 mm lens fits that bill.

Who carries their camera around with them everywhere? I'd love it if my phone took great pics. Hopefully we're almost there.

Well, it is never going to. If you shoehorn a DX/FX size sensor into a phone, you still need the optics to capture that light. At which point you won't carry your phone around with you because the lens won't fit into your pocket.
BTW, if we were to compare the intent of the photos regardless of capture device, they would be subpar. That is, the photographer attempted to do serious macro and landscape work. If we were to judge the photos strictly on that, then they are subpar. But for a camera phone they are good. So what I am trying to say, professional photographs still need professional gear.

Those pics were very impressive. It would be nice if HTC put in camera's of this quality, but the pics the Evo 3d takes are good enough for me.

I said good, not professional. That Nokia camera seems to take the sort of shots I desire.
Anyway, I wouldn't say "never" -- who thought 5 years ago you'd have a phone with 3D capabilities?

Im pretty satisfied with the E3d camera, I give it a 7/10. Of course it could be better but it has exceeded my expectations and is a huge improvement over the E4g camera. Those Nokia pics are really good.
@dfin13 Five years ago I never thought I'd be streaming movies in 1080p on my phone. I think I was using a moto razr V3m, sidekick 3 and then a blackberry Pearl that year.

I've been getting photos pretty close to that good with the Evo 3D. Maybe not quite as shallow DOF but just as sharp. I'll try to post some another day. No time today.

Well I await the day they can change the physics of light and/or how we can capture it. I suspect I will be long gone.
As an aside, a gratuitous unnecessary shot at wedding photographers: If they can get that Nokia to sync to off camera flash, they then will be in heaven. Wedding photogs don't need detail, they apply 20 percent Gaussian blur to everything anyway. With a camera phone they can "connect" with their client even more.
Ducks head, as the lone wedding photog in the forum takes aim..

If I were to be in an exotic place, I'd certainly be using my dslr and not my phone.

Pretty sure you'll be long gone too, be careful what you wish for.

Nokia's phones are GREAT shooters. Probably the best when it comes to cameras on a cellphone.
HTC needs to step their game up. Half of it is software, and that sucks. I'm content with it, but a lot of things could be improved.
Get the app "Vignette" if you really want to take some great pictures.

Atrix Camera Vs Iphone Camera?

Hey is the atrix's camera better than the iphone 4's?
I've read many reviews, and it looks like the atrix 4g's camera is just average.
This is kind of depressing , considering I wanted a phone with a nice camera.
I would ssay the camera is alright, but I saw some comparison pictures today that showed they weren't as good as the iPhone 4's pics.
Of course things like for and saturation can be fixed with a little light edititjng, but who wants to do that right?

Definitely a purple bluish tint. Although that does suck, I will have my Captivate as a backup.

In my experience with the HTC EVO, the auto white-balance in Android, in a word, blows. However, selecting the white-balance for the situation at hand works great.
Comparing the Atrix 4g camera to the iphone 4 camera? To a phone that took how many years to even get a decent camera? And sadly, with as many co-workers of mine who have the iphone 4, I can tell you that it's camera ain't that great. The iphone 4 finally got a 5mp camera. Wow, so impressive... Score one for apple! Why don't we wait and judge the camera quality in real life.

Please lay off the myth that more MP=more quality. The quality of a camera is related to the quality and the size of the lens. I couldn't care less if a phone's camera is 3MP as long as it has a good lens. The iphone4's camera has pretty big lens that's the reason the pictures are very nice for a phone.
Sadly the atrix has a crappy camera, but i am hopeful the purple tint can be fixed in a update.

wow you really are a hater arent you? the iphone 4 camera is actually real good for a camera phone. it's quick to start and takes some pretty good pictures. and ya the atrix 4g is not even out yet; but motorola has been in the camera phone market for years; so they've had even more time than apple to develop a good camera phone. i know your an apple hater; but learn to give credit where it's due; the iphone has many negatives; the camera is not one of them.
I'm just hoping the camera is better than the one I had on my aria.
Cant' remember the last time i thought "you know, that is so awesome i'll take a picture, let me grab my cell phone". None of them take amazing pictures, and if it's worth taking a picture of, i'll grab my real camera.
Cell phone can have the best lens physically possible for that size, and it's still defeated by the dust that collects over it.

your right; no camera phone will take a pic even close to my DSLR; but to be honest with you, the iphone4 takes pics that are good enough if they're just for my computer. the DSLR is bulky and isnt always there when you need it; your phone is usually always with you; so it's nice to have a phone that takes somewhat decent pictures. i remember when i first got my e71 and was so disappointed in the camera; hope the atrix is not the same. but it sure looked similar during engadgets review
Yes it's nice to have for little things, and i use it for that, i'm just saying i've never looked at a cell phone and thought "yes, this will replace my camera"
I'll reserve judgement for when i get mine. Engadget has been proving their incompetence more and more lately, so i put little to no faith in their ability to create fair or accurate tests.
I love having a camera in my pocket at all times but every phone I've ever had has taken disappointing pictures. My touch pro 2 takes alright/almost acceptable shots outside during the day but in low light its not even worth trying. I am looking forward to the led flash on the atrix but I'm sure it will be a while before a phone replaces stand alone cameras for even point and shoot average Joes.
I took this picture a few minutes ago. Let me know what you guys think.
http://plixi.com/p/78972232
And yes, it was with the Atrix.
Eh, for what I use my camera for (pictures at bars, on the beach, videos of people doing stupid ****), I don't need a 12 mp megashooter that can capture the individual pores on your nose. I'm just happy to finally have a flash on my phone.

Not a hater at all lol. but give credit where credit is due. My nokia n 95 had a terrific camera. My sony k 850 I had an even better camera. My question is this; why is everybody going gaga over the camera in over the camera in the iphone when it took four generations for apple to finally install a halfway decent camera? In reality people should have been booing apple for the 3 phones with lousy cameras.

Evo 3D camera vs Evo 4G (Evo 1) cam

How do u guys think the Evo 3D still pictures will compare in quality to the original Evo?
I know megapixels isn't everything, and of course I'm talking only about 2D stills, but I'm wondering if the still pictures from the 3D will be better

I disagree. The Evo 1's camera is adequate and even better than my 4 year old camera. I take pictures exclusively with it now and they look pretty damn good.
Granted, I'd never spend $1500 on a freaking camera and you might be one of those "photographer" types (i put that in quotes because I don't consider that a real profession, merely a hobby that people get paid for) who believe that an 8mp cell phone camera should look like an 8mp nokia whatever-x5000. It's a cell phone, the camera is more a convenience. Considering 5 years ago, pictures with a cell phone looked like an 8-bit video games, I'd say they're making fantastic and amazing headway on itty bitty tiny mobile cameras.
On that note, since it's a year later and technology has improved, the Evo 3d really should have a better camera than an Evo 4g. Especially since the camera is a key feature in the new hardware.
From what I've seen in review videos (also taking into account that I'm not getting the full experience through a camera), the pictures have a pretty good quality, but I'd have to see them in person to accurately judge them.

Because MP have nothing to do with quality? It's how big it can be printed out, and to be honest you can't print a 3D picture, so yeah.
They did however mention that the cameras have a CMOS sensor (the sensor is what creates quality, MP have nothing to do with it) so I have extremely high hopes for this camera. If it does what I'm expecting it'll be my upgrade path most likely.
HTC usually either has hits or miss on the camera. Well just have to wait and see.

Two 8mp images per 3d picture is probably why. 5mp will take enough space as it is.
That and the thing is... there really is no way currently to have a "great" 8 mp camera on a phone, with a lens/ sensor that small.
Yea the reason for 5mp instead of dual 8mp has to do with image/video file size more than likely.
As for the Evo 1 camera, is have to say its the first phone camera I even considered replacing my real camera with. I have a 12mp ~$200 Sony camera that I never use. 4x6 prints look just as good on both. The Sony handles low light better, but its not worth carrying an extra device

My 2cents on this:
Photography is an art, just like painting, tattoos, piercings, acting (stage and TV) and have all been around for as long as history has been written (except for the acting on TV of course). But to talk about getting paid for a hobby, lets now include sports (ALL Sports) and these are also considered "hobbies" but these people get paid more than doctors, engineers, lawyers, etc. You don't complain about them though.
About the camera, like said before....its a phone, 5MP is awesome AND IT HAS TWO. For daily use, it should/will get the job done. If your a "professional" D) then you would not even consider using the phone for your work. It's called convenience and it's why you pay $700 for a phone that can play movies, pictures, search the web, play low quality game (that can be addictive), TEXT, have a camera and flashlight with you at all times, GPS (all this on a relatively small screen) and I guess make a call.
Don't discriminate!
I'm a massive fan of the EVO and am pre-ordering the 3D immediately. That being said, the EVO 1 pictures aren't as good as the Iphones. In Outdoor, sunny situations they are excellent but indoors they suck compare to the iphone. Also, the flash handling really is garbage, I'm always trying to adjust the white balance to account for it or take my picture slightly further back etc etc. It's just ****ty and then I see my brother iPhone 4 pics using OOTB settings taking the same stupid picture of our family at the table and its way better.
I would really like to see some information stating that the CMOS sensor is 2x as good...it certainly better be!!
Another note, the iPhone 4 video is a WORLD above the EVO in lower light. It embarrassing. I brag about my phone but then can't use the video from a basketball game because its indoors and again...brothers iPhone videos look pretty good.
A side note, can't stand apple and their draconian koolaid they sell all the schmucks on
Camera Quality
I've found that when were dealing with pictures in natural lighting, the results are absolutely AMAZING, but when it comes to low light, darkness and requiring the flash, that is when the coloring was off and blurry etc. i would expect the same from the new camera just as basically every phone cam i've seen.

[Q] Sure hope the camera is better?

I really really hope the camera is better than the evo 4g Im really tired of all my friends taking perfect pictures and videos with their iphones while my evo only takes good pictures of nonmoving things in daylight and audio from video is absolutely horrible. I go to concerts all the time and have a 12k dj setup and while my iphone friends can take perfect audio and video of both, i have to wait for them to send me the vids they took. And have to get them to send me pics from all the events we go to because my camera cant handle low light or people that dont stand completely still. This will be the issue that makes or breaks it for me. Anyone know if it will be better? And carrying a "real" camera with everyday for my day to day pictures isnt an option.
Been an HTC user for years, really hoping i can continue

You lucky man! Man I would die to see Floyd, I missed him on his Pulse tour in the States
If you watch the wirefly review of the phone the guy states his wife is a professional photographer and she had a chance to use the camera on the Evo3D and said that it was her new favorite camera.
Now I don't know if she is really a professional or she just liked to take 3D pictures but it's a start.
Im mean, 3D is kinda cool, but i hope they got closer to perfecting normal pics and vid before deciding to take on 3D. But stranger things have def happened!
maybe im the only person that thinks its a huge issue, but it is my biggest issue by far, especially when so much emphasis is put on the cameras! Like the amazing 8mp camera on the evo 4g that sucks A$$$$$$$$$
I too am hoping for this. I hate that the 5 mega pixel camera on my wifes epic blows the evo 4g out of the water. It is truely a piece of ****.
I think you guys are hard on the ol 4g I've taken some real nice pics with mine..as long as its well lit .but the review shots looked great I'm excited
I think it will be okay for stills but suck anus otherwise. Well light stills that is.

If HTC was to upgrade their camera....this would seem to be the release to do it (it by name draws attention to its CAMERA for god's sake). Dissapointing.
You know I've seen some 3vo pics that look god awful, and some that look pretty decent... most of the guys give awful reviews (meaning they don't grasp what a review should be) what makes you think they know how to work hardware (tweak settings..etc) to make a picture look good. lol
it looks fine you can adjust settings for better color.

Quality pictures require a quality camera... that's why I have my Canon 40D, 5D and 1Ds.
I also have cameras. Thats mot related to the fact that HTC uses subquality cameras on these high end devices. As a converged device camera I use the pics in conjunction immediately with other apps. My other cameras can't do that.

There wasn't one of those photos where I thought the 4g did better. Clarity was better on the 3vo across the board. Look at the frogs or the last one with the green/pink leaves. Look at where the pink meets the green.

yeah at 1st glance 4G seems better but if you really look clarity is better (as stated above) on 3vo...Frogs (more detail) flowers (same thing) looks like there needs to be some color correction (in processing??) also I just saw the other link in a prev thread and I think there was something in the settings that may somewhat address this???
IANAPhotog...btw
White balance: Lets you change the white balance
to enable the camera to capture colors more
accurately by adjusting to your current lighting
environment.
Auto focus: Enables or disables centered
autofocus. Autofocus is enabled by default.
ISO (photo mode only): Lets you choose an ISO
level or set it back to Auto. Higher ISO numbers
are better for taking pictures in low light
conditions.
would manipulation of these settings make the pics a bit better?
*tho I understand why the test was done with no adjustments via both cams.
Guys check out the new 'Lightbox Photo' app..it takes pics way faster than Vignette etc and has an immediate "fixit" option which makes great fast color/contrast corrections...nice resulting picture.
That's disappointing the 3VO camera is still that far behind iPhone. They should have invested the R&D into a practical camera instead of the 3D stuff. Will probably still end up getting it because it's the next best thing from EVO.
Right now, I carry my little Canon powershot because it takes way better pictures than my ancient 2mp Mogul.
The Evo 3D will obviously take better pictures but I don't think it's as good as my Canon. My plan is for simple pictures I'll carry just the Evo 3d and if I want really nice pictures, then I'll pull the Canon out.

Previews? Yeah a bunch. Reviews? No....

How long will we have to wait until Engadget or GSM Arena release some real stuff about the device?
I'm guessing motorolla have not paid anyone to do reviews or given out review units, that's some shut advertising. I have been searching for reviews for awhile aswell. I want to see real world camera samples

To quote Anandtech "Motorola tells us the RAZR uses the same 8MP rear camera sensor as the Bionic"
They have a review of the Bionic on the same site (sorry I can't post links yet).

You're being serious? Those pics looked really good to me. Excellent color and detail.
Pics look nice...especially the macro of that pink flower. At the images full size it looks crisp and detailed. I cant say the same for my Arc S which destroys detail beyond oblivion.
even review maker said "You can see a test of this below, along with test camera shots — I’d say they’re pretty washed out" and i can see the same... video is just lol
2 pics of flowers are really good, and i really hope he shaked his hand while shooting the rest of pics
The camera test would have been best done a nice sunny day. The weather in those photos looks overcast which is why it may look overblown and grey. If there's exposure adjustment then it doesn't matter. With my arc you have to adjust the exposure to Atleast -3 to stop the exposure blowing out.

well, any ways, device looks pretty awsome (for me it is the most beautiful android device)... and it got not bad specifications.
let's hope we will get strong support from developers
The colors are washed out. And it seems that it increases ISO/noise in badly lit conditions (image of the coke bottle). I'm not that impressed.
You shouldn't expect too much from from any phone camera with less than ideal lighting. Need more reviews of the camera with different subjects and compare to the iPhone 4s and gs2.
would love 2 see an unboxing video too
Honestly, I have no idea why ppl pay so much attention to the camera. It is supposed to be just an emergency thing and not the main factor making a phone good or bad. Has everyone really stoppedmusing dedicated cameras and started using their phones as cameras for all occasions?

I will say yes and no. I enjoy photography but I don't carry a dedicated camera with me as mine wouldn't fit in my pockets (dslr)
This is where having a phone with a decent snapper comes into play. I'd like a camera phone that can take 'good enough' photos that I can print.
To some it may not matter but to others a phone will replace a low end p'n's

Have to disagree here. It seems most people seem to prefer oversaturated colors. Those pics have excellent looking color balance AND saturation from what I saw.
