Wide Angle Camera Kit - G3 Accessories

Has anyone tried it or seen some friend using this ?
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Quick-Clip-W...S-wbr-5-/301347466272?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276
I believe this should also work for our G3 if it does for the S5.
It even supports macro mode if you rotate the lens.
Looks promising.

Also looking for a wide angle kit for rear camera something like ~120 deg. But not for macro rather for action video shots 5-10 meters (15-30 feet) from the subject. Can someone recommend a decent kit?
Is the laser AF affected by the external wide angle kit?
Does anybody know what angle is the rear camera, can't find this info anywhere?
Any chance for a sample shot with the wide angle lens from above kit.

This gets good reviews on Amazon and Blunty likes it.

finally a Camera phone lens review!

I've been searching for a good review for the camera phone lens, but all I found was reviews using stock photos and amateur photos. So here's my review!
I'm a Model builder and I always take photos of my models. Im not an amateur photographer. Sometimes I go to stores and, if I see model I like, I would take a picture of it. But since the wizard camera sucks, there’s really no point.
so here's a simple review I wrote.
http://nlstudio.us/VK/phonelens/phone.htm
great review
Nice done! even though its not a "camera" phone.. the pics were pretty good after the photoshop tweaks! nice review and the lenses dont look that bad!
Good review although not worth $51!!!
would you agree that the macro lens makes the best improvement?
would you agree that the macro lens makes the best improvement?
Nice.
thats pretty great!
off topic, how did you make it clearer with photoshop?
the macro lens is only good for very close close-ups.
it only had a like a 1 inch focus range.
for the tweaks, i used sharpening filter and edit the brightness and contrast.
thanks
some update on more field testing:
so far i only use the super wide angle often.

this pic came out bad, cuz i switched it to burst by accident.
but it looks cool.
If you want a fancy lens, buy a digital camera. Walking around with a stick on lens attached to your camera phone will make you look like an idiot.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
LOL, it's magnetic, u can pull it off, when im not using i just pull it off and put it in my pocket.
i like to take random pictures of things, and i wouldn't normally bring a digicam everywhere i go, since my digi cam is a huge SLR, lol
I didn't know someone even made lenses like that! I take my phone lots of places I wouldn't dare take my fancy camera (and I'm SO sick of that condescending "get a real camera" crap in general) so I may have to spring for a set. Thanks for the review and pix!
oh yea, u before u buy, u can create ur own wide angle lens with door peep hole lens, only thing u need to do it, find a way to clip it on, lol
This type of lenses is also sold on ebay for approx GBP 3 per lens.
I dont know if they are better/worse but sure they are cheaper.
search for "gummi phone lens"

Camera sensor in the G5?

Will a willing G5 owner use AIDA64 and under devices identify what camera sensor LG employed in the G5? I want to buy this phone but want to know the camera is at least a small upgrade over the G4 like the S7 is over the S6

If the G5 sensor is an upgrade over the G4 like "the S7 is over the S6" then I will not consider the G5. From everything I can see of the S7 it is most definitely a downgrade next to the S6.
Interested in this topic though
I think it's a better device than the G4. I never really loved the G4 but love this G5
Phonearena has both as 16 megapixels, Aperture size F1.8, Camera sensor size 1/2.6", Pixel size 1.12 μm, laser auto focus.
I played with the GS7 and Nexus 6p, MUCH better for dark scenes and the only time 16MP looks better is bright light. And only at full resolution zoomed in, if you upload it to FB or anywhere for that matter you will loose any advantage the 16MP camera has other then using digital zoom.

Lens flare problem

The flare appears while taking photos of bright objects in the dark, like candles. It can ruin a photo. I've never seen a flare like this in any smartphone camera. Does anyone have the same problem?
An example:

The candle in the upper left corner should not be exhibiting this purple flare. Really annoying.

Well, that's charming. Apple simply told it's users to point the camera at a different angle.
Still, it was in 2012. I've done a brief comparison with my girlfriend's Galaxy Note 4 and seen no flare there.
I would greatly appreciate any LG V30 user's opinion on this topic. I would like to know if it's the same in every V30, or is my unit especially faulty.
I think i found the answer.
The camera seems to be very susceptible to IR light. LG is using an IR lamp to assist autofocus, so naturally the camera has to detect it easily.
It just so happens, that a candle flame is quite hot. Because of that, it emits extensive amounts of IR light. I was able to get the same effect during the day, but it is best seen using an IR remote.
Well, nothig can be done with that as it seems. Every other phone I've used wasn't that susceptible to IR light. It certainly is a novelty to me.

First pictures with natural bokeh and portrait mode. It was a cloudy day so the pictures aren't as vibrant as they could be.
Pot stickers for dinner.
A couple more...
After using gcam ports on several recent phones, it's nice to have a zsl real deal gcam again for a change! View attachment 4624461
Nothing fancy here, but I just love how crisp and detailed the images are!
More...
Even taking up close pictures that are quick are really clear. Took this before going to Home Depot for more. Wasn't trying to get a super clear picture and was a little worried I was going to have to retake it with how blurry it looked on screen before I snapped it. Looks way better than I expected it to. Loving this phone so far!
Natural bokeh, no portrait mode, auto awesome in Google photos
Love, love, love this camera

How did you get that close?!
First pic I took, not bad
This camera amazes me. Here's one I took fooling around just to see what was possible.
In Italy. Breathtakingly good camera. I have also been regularly flipping the phone around to get wide angle shots out of the front camera (non selfies).
Hello everyone,
Pictures, i can't say how impressive.
I was trying to get a review from people about Pixels but then I decided to give mine.
Let's see if Pixel 3 is worth the price.
Let me know !!!

I see no difference in photo quality and no flairing effect so far. The protectors do fit nice and almost flush to the case.

Try taking night pictures beside light source or illuminated signs and you will see light reflections on the lens

Ok. I will give it a shot later and post back.
Here are some night shots of a street lamp. I also took some shots with my wife's S20fe for comparison:

To me it seems the protectors don't really affect the image that much. I couldn't get any shots in the sun as it was pretty much cloudy and rainy all day. I do think these are worth it.
