Do you use your Galaxy Player 5.0's camera? What app do you use, or you use stock. Post some pics
Just wondering the quality, cuz my quality on is bad-decent. Just wondering if I could make it any better.
I rarely use it but I use the stock app. Quality wise it's good no complaints here's a back yard photo

I have the 4.0, not the 5.0.. But I always use the camera on it.
I usually use Pro Capture rather than the stock camera though.
I think the quality is pretty decent actually. Better than I expected it to be.
Kinda wish I had a flash like the 5.0, but whatever. lol
The quality is better than a family members 7-8 MP Kodak digicam, for sure. lol
Here's a recent shot from a hike~ (resized for forum)
2 moon shots from my GP 4.0~
and one from the Kodak digicam~
I think The Galaxy Player wins. lol
:good:

Holy cow, how do you get such big pictures of the moon without optical zoom? No optical zoom is the reason my galaxy player (or any other smart device) will ever replace my camera.

I just held my galaxy players cam lens up to one of my telescopes eyepieces. lol
that was a 5 inch- Newtonian scope I think.
This was taken with my 5.0, no edit at all. You just have to know how to use the camera to get good quality pics. I have more pics like this one

Even when I was on Gingerbread, I never used the camera. It is inadequate and insufficient to get what I want out of a photograph. There is no "real" zoom on the lens and the megapixel count on the device is never going to produce any pictures of print quality.
Thus, for my photography needs, I go to a Nikon D7000 DSLR. In contrast, however, my wife uses Canon's Powershot Series camera, which is a very powerful, much cheaper alternative to a DSLR.

I love the camera on my player but I'm willing to not use it for the small time being because CM10 is coming out with a 3.xx kernel so the Camera will be working in no time.
I'm a bit reluctant to update to one of the ICS roms because I use the camera so often. Sure, it doesn't compare to a dedicated device but it's more than adequate image quality for sharing and/or even printing if you play around enough with the settings. Night shots are obviously pretty bad but can't say I expected much more from a tablet's camera.

Some mushrooms, taken with my 4.0
I forgot to put Macro on, but still came out pretty decent.
Anyone who says this isn't "good enough" for the quick snapping of pics, is :silly: lol
Obviously one wouldn't use these cameras for professional photography, but to say it's "not even good enough to use" is ridiculous.
I know the hardware of the camera in the G2 is supposed to be great, and people are raving over it, but coming from the Note 2, and even looking at my wife's GS3, I'm not a fan. Does anyone else experience the extremely poor auto focusing, and the ghosting when moving the camera to get your shot? I'm not well versed in the world of photography, and I like how dummy proof the Note 2 made things. If your subject moves (and seeing as mine is a 13 month old, she's always moving), the pics come out very poorly. With the quick auto focusing on the Note 2, great pics weren't a problem.
Anyone else experiencing this issue? Something I should try differently? I want to keep this device, but this problem will have me returning and waiting for the Note 3 or even heading to the dark side (and I REALLY don't want to), the iPhone 5S.
I have definitely noticed that this phone's camera doesn't like it when you're moving the phone or taking a picture of something that's moving. It's always disturbingly blurry when I move the camera around. However, stills look pretty great. The camera wasn't a huge selling point of the phone for me so I'm not too worried about it but I hope when we get custom ROMs developers will include better camera apps.

You're right - maybe there will be better camera apps when the custom ROMs hit. I'm willing to donate for that, no prob. I love everything about this device with the exception of that. I tried to install the GS3/Note 2 camera apk, but it wouldn't work sadly.
Change the iso. The HDR is incredible on the G2.

Coming from a Note 2 and S4, I've found the camera on the G2 to be much better in both normal and HDR modes.
I had some poor auto focus shots at first until I realized all the smudges on the camera lens from learning to locate the rear buttons appropriately.

This is truly a great pic. And I agree it is a great cam, which is why I'm bummed I'm getting poor pics. I think my biggest problem is how slow it is to focus. The picture is gone by the time it does.
The camera on the G2 is amazing. I am very impressed.

Some Times auto focus does take longer than usual but I must say coming from a note 2 and lumia 928 this camera trumps them both easily. Try sports mode for the kids.it worked very well in my niece today! You won't get the low light sensitivity though.

Yup. It over compensate for the low light by adjusting the iso higher therefore making some images and videos blurry.

Yeah, if you wanna run that boring and crippled OS. Just carry a compact digital camera if you are that desperate for better shots and video instead of lowering your phone standards.

I still think we are not going to see "great" night video/picture on any phone for a while yet. We could be two three years away from that imo.
The only way that will happen is if you get a big enough sensor that bulges out of the phone. Like in the case of Nokia builds.

You honestly can't see the difference in lg G2 and HTC one night video? The fps is so...slow it doesn't look natural at all.
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The f2.4 lens can only get so much light. The low light video was sweet in my one, but that's an f2 lens.
The g2 has decent video, but not being able to lock focus and exposure is a really downer. The continuous autofocus kills the videos
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk 2
Both video show a brightly lid night scene but blurry, probably the result of low shutter speed and wide open apertures. If there is some way for people to manually set the shutter speed and aperture or make it less aggressive while taking the video, I am sure everyone will be happy.
Trying lower the brightness setting while taking the of the video might help with higher shutter speed and better focus.
The video that shows the drive through Bangkok's road I am impressed by the stabilisation though. =)

I had a HTC one and the the video was ok for the one time I tried a night video since launch. Are you lot going bat watching or something as I'd gladly have a much faster phone and better screen then go to a s4 or HTC one.

In my opinion, G2 has a much better color capturing. But in few videos G2 did have problem in focusing.
In still shots, G2 > Nexus 5.
yeah the n5 killed the g2 in video. videos on the g2 are just awful compared to every other flagship.

Not only are videos awful, but taking pictures of anything that is moving is terrible. The only thing the G2 camera does well is landscape photos. It's to the point where i am probably going to get rid of it and go to a different device because i use the camera so often. I can't believe in all the G2 commercial they are focus on how good the camera is the whole time. False advertising at it's best.
Bad video comparison is bad. I seen better ones. In my opinion g2 is better.

If your son is not running to and from you the manual focus feature might be for you, also holding down shutter locks the focus for a few seconds to take a few quick shots, there is also a burst mode as well.

There is a sports mode, but that still uses something like 1/6s shutter time when indoors (and in the morning, so not very light). There is also a burst mode, ISO is upped with that one and you get a shutter time of 1/15th...

Nexus 5 video camera simply look horrible in comparison to the G2's: the image sometimes appears too dark with the Nexus 5 to the point that you can't see what's going on (left attached image). Moreover, Nexus 5 picture looks blurry and unfocussed much of the time, and so it's hard to see fine details (right attached image).
G2 wins big time (unless you're blind, I guess...).
It seems that LG ****ed up the Nexus 5 real good (horrible battery life, bad camera, lower quality screen, etc.).

the main problem is the focus, as you've stated. it's constantly trying to focus when it doesn't have to,and clearly the n5 doesn't suffer from this. it looks a little better at that half screen size yeah, but the second you make a 1080p video full resolution, you lose all clarity. it becomes blurry, softened and in lower indoor light pretty much looks like ass. it's not as sharp as it should be, and that's probably lg's awful post processing.

I completely agree that taking one frame out if a video is unfair, but I also think after each phone got a chance to adjust properly that the G2 still looks better. There are also several well lit scenes that I couldn't tell a difference.
