Camera quality is same. I don't know why it would differ because it's the same 5MP shooter.. However software dependent things like focus time etc can vary.. As far my experience with all fw version is concerned, camera UI on gb was very user friendly. However camera focused faster in ics .587
That's all I can say.

I find camera focusing better in GB. Try taking pics of a tree from 8 feet distance using GB and ICS Rom's. Now check the image in original resolution, you can see GB images are sorta soft but the focus is good and details are also ok. But if you check the ICS captured image, you can see there is over sharpening, noise & out of focus areas in the image.
Well the video capturing quality was definitely better in GB than ICS...
About the camera... I consider both fine
Sent from my Smultron running CM10
Camera images on ICS are better-they are of larger size,hence less compression and better quality
Video was better on GB-GB had stereo sound and higher frame rate
ICS has mono sound
Thanks for the reply. Does editting media_profile.xml doesnt work when changing the channel from 1 to 2 for stereo?

Are there any major differences concerning the picture / video quality between these two firmwares?

2.1 vs 2.3.3 vs 2.3.4 vs 2.3.5 vs 2.3.7 (except 1.6) = No difference if camera work properly on all versions.
Hum, I thought SE "improved" the camera with every new firmware release.
In that case, I think I'll go back to 2.1.

2.3.3 is way better then 2.1.

The camera itself doesn't improve it still 8.1 mp if thats what u mean
Edit: yeah gb is better than eclair thats why it's an upgrade. It ain't gonna improve resolution though.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
well all i know is that camera focus speed in 1.6 is the fastest so far
Improved camera doesn't mean only more mpx.U have ****ty 5 mpx cams(HTC Hero) and much better 5 mpx like one on Samsung galaxy s.(this is only example).Somethimes in OS upgrades developers improves camera as well(better colors,less noise etc.).

That's what I was talking about.
I just asked because I read somewhere that 2.1 is better in camera quality.
Is it true?
Sent from my X10i
All I can say is are u guys expecting our phone to have 16mp camera by time ics arrives or somethin? Os update isn't gonna make ur camera have higher resolution. It just improves ui and how it implemented, things like that. I suppose with advance in tech it could make image clearer but the resolution ain't gonna change.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Everyone knows that the resolution won't change with software improvement since it's hardware related. But colour management, contrast, detail, etc. can, and that's what my question is about.
2.3 have faster focus speed~
camera feature change from eclair to gingerbread
what I know is gingerbread removes the smile detection and some other feature in xperia x10 which eclair have and works correct
Same image quality without some options(like smile detect)

I just flashed back to 2.1 and this is one of the reasons. The video camera on 2.3 sucks, I can barely hear my recordings, on 2.1 its back to being nice and loud.

Stock gb is very slowly and that's why stock eclair is better
Hi, I'm really excited about this phone since i don't like big screens etc. But one thing really annoys me. I'm talking about photo quality. I'm using camera zoom fx with 2mp photo size but still the photos are blurry. Can anyone tell me best app and settings for sharp photos? Tnx
Sent from my ST25i using xda premium
3rd party apps or stock camera app nothing can do. they can only do some effects or crop etc. you must root and do some build.prop hacks.
but this way can't do high improve. its all about hardware.
Anyone have same problem? I don't know if it's this problem worth sending to service. But the photos are really disgusting...my old zte blade make ten times better photos. This Sony crap photos are full of noise and without sharp edges, everything is blurry...

2Mpx photos looks better than 5Mpx - this is old known thing in XperiaU. 2Mpx photos are sharper. Anyway quality of camera used in Xperia U is really bad. We can't do anything with that. And many times users have problem with big pink spot at the center of picture. Camera is really bad here
Yea noticed that odd thing with 2mp better photos too. At least i don't have that pink spot. I still have hope in ics update that it'll straight it up a little, but as i read it didn't help or its even worse.

I admit that the camera is poor, even compared to my girlfriends HTC one V which has a 5mp camera, the U looks about half as good. But when I set my U at 2mp the picture is far worse than at 5mp.
I assume its a hardware issue and my software setup will have no effect but I am rooted with locked bl and st25a ics firmware.
What about video quality? Any tips for improving quality?

It isn't. It has good battery life; the camera seems to work. Of couse, the quality isn't all that good, but, fact is, the camera works (at least, for me it did).
Chip ROM [GB]
If you want a stable ROM and good quality in terms of camera, i suggest Chip ROM [GIngerbread].
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2264671
CyanogenMod 10.1 (Android JellyBean 4.2.2)
Also it has no major bugs.
hi... I've tried a few ROMs as well but the issue is that in some ROMs the camera doesn't work.
Can someone please recommend a good fast ROM which lets the camera work...
my 2 cents
If you need high quality pictures using the camera, then you must go with a gingerbread ROM, like Chip, Erygits, or REDD. Jellybean ROMS are faster and the camera works using 3rd party apps, but the pictures are much lower in quality, in my humble opinion.

look, you need to understand one thing, OUR CANVAS HD COMES WITH AN 8MP CAMERA, AND ALL THE 13MP CAMERA THING IS NOTHING BUT A GIMMICK..I am not sure if u have used any ROM with a 13mp camera on your A116, but if u havent then let me tell u there is hardly any difference that the human eye can spot..its just some changes with the binary that makes it say the camera is 13MP..the more obvious difference is in the size of the photo..the 13MP camera messes up with the photo so much that its size considerably increases without improving the quality (and it eats up a lot more space)
one test u can do to understand this is take a photo with 13MP camera, and another with 8MP camera (change it from the camera settings)..then compare the two pics by zooming in..you will see the 8MP photos are far better than 13MP..
PS:I dont blame u for not getting this entirely..I myself wanted a ROM with 13MP cam, but after reacding extensively about it and trying it myself, I am happy with the 8MP cam of my current ROM
