Pictures are nice. I'm coming from a p20pro, so i'll see in the short term. With the P20pro it was hit or miss situation for pictures on the go (quick snap). As for prepared ones not too many issues. Where issues came in for me, that i hope i won't have with the N9 will be moving objects (cars, kids, animals). I'll see then.
Here you go.
p20p vs note 9 various garden pictures. quick shots, no gimmicks not trying my best.. casual quick ones.

In my opinion Note9 exposure is better and overall results as well. Not to different than my S9+
EVERYTHING ON AUTO MODE, NO POST PROCESSING
My complains are indoor shots in regards to color and sharpness. Note 9 seems to produce a more saturated color or more yellowish than my note 8 and is not as sharp I would say 75% of the shots I've made compared to my note 8. Note 8 although has more noise in low light, color is very accurate and most cases pictures turn out sharper without having to retake. Fyi my couch is Grey and not brown as depicted by the note 9

f1.5 wont be as sharp as f1.7 and it will mean the camera can use a lower iso to eliminate more noise , so a slightly softer image with less noise compared to the note 8 could be expected on hardware alone

This is just a firmware thing, like a choice that samsung made, except of course the bag. Bag looks bad
Intellligent
new intelliigent and smart camera does a great job low light works very well
I don't really tweak anything when taking photos pre or post. This phone takes great pictures on both the front and facing camera with no input from me.
Anyone having issues with light glare? Never had this issue with any phone before. Took some family photos at the beach around sunset and noticed all of them had really bad glare from the sun. Then took some more photos tonight during dinner and the street lights caused horrendous glare in the photos! WTF! And yes, the lens clean and spec free.
I've not used the camera and 'a.i.' enough to dislike it like some of the reviewers, but my nerd self is impressed when it instantly knows i'm taking a shot of my dog. I've not been bothered by any of the post-processing yet. Some great detail shots up above.
I too am disappointed with the quality of indoor/low light shots the Note 9 takes. The shots taken by my Note 8, both stock and with the ported Pixel Google cam, appear sharper and more colorful. I am content with all other areas of the phone: battery life, S-pen features, stereo Dolby Atmos speakers, processor speed. It would be the perfect phone if those cameras can be upgraded for indoor scenes ( outdoor shots are awesome).

in good lighting condition, the camera does exceptionally well. but in the needs of HDR and low lighting,the camera is trash.
How about some long exposure shots in pro mode?
ISO50 at 10 seconds is amazing.
Obviously tripod required.
BUT! With the remote ability of the S-pen, it's indeed possible to capture shots with zero motion blur just like a decent camera with remote trigger...

Thought people might be interested in knowing I've started a Flickr group for the Lumia 800.
http://www.flickr.com/groups/[email protected]/
Would love to see what others have been able to capture with the nifty little camera on our phones
I just joined the group... will try to upload photos taken by my lumia 800...
Anyone has red tint on photo taken using Lumia 800?
Mine has it when the ambient light is not strong...
i have tinted photos as well. the auto color balance is horrible. all pictures are sepia-ish
like that, i will join you too
Thanks!!
Just joined group but haven't posted yet. I've had my Lumia a whopping 48 hours at this point and haven't had a chance to really wring out the camera yet.
Hope to rectify that this weekend.
Don't see what all the complaints are about. Has more settings than my HD7 did - and all the additions are useful (I love the exposure setting). Shutter response is identical to any smartphone camera I've had before.
As far as photo color - maybe I'm jaded, but I don't think ANY smartphone camera is all that great. The HD7 surprised me because being mediocre in almost all other respects, the camera was pretty good. To me, these cameras will never replace a decent 35mm; they're a step above a Kodak Instamatic or typical 35mm disposable in my opinion. I think it's pretty much mandatory with phone cameras to have something like PicturesLab or Thumba to tart up the pictures a bit and have them looking decent.
Cheers,
Maybe after altering a few settings like white balance, you can make it behave well. But out of the box at default settings the Lumia800 is not surprisingly good.
just a reminder of 4 years ago where the Nokia N95 could deliver images comparable to a reasonably good point and shoot camera

I did a test in ambient light this evening.
I have the following preliminary conclusions:
A. Picture quality seems okay looking at the results on the phone itself
B. Contrast and saturation settings together are so agressive that you need these set to default in order to get a decent picture
C. Yes, the red burn on photos is clearly there.
D. Auto white balance is a disaster as well as the manual settings. These are way too agressive too. If these would be applied at fifty percent would be much better.
picture of apollo15rover shows the agressive auto settings. Very high contrast as shades are very dark, the grass seems too dark green, and the bright is overburnt. that it is done by the camera settings..I recognize this too in my own photos taken with the lumia.

I agree with all.. but still pretty happy the way this turned out.. Clarity and detail aren't lacking. I took with Macro focus (had not discovered macro scene yet)
I did try to take a couple with one notch up on saturation and it might as well have been solarized!
On a positive note I found something that has not been on any smartphone I have had in the past: Macro Scene PLUS Macro Focus - so I can now take low depth of field shots!
Here's another unedited photo..
All settings normal/auto except I lowered Contrast and Saturation 1 notch to "Low" each.. To me it's a bit washed out, but more easy to correct in photo program than trying to go the other way..

Recently tried to shoot some lighter color subjects and now also noticing the red burn in the middle.. Anyone discover the trick of getting rid of it?
Edit.. Must be in the white balance. Doesn't appear on outdoor photos. Also, I re-shot the interior photo with the burn using flash, and the burn was completely eliminated. Not too happy being a fan of natural light photography..

For a phone that's out of this world. For a point and shoot its perfect.
A small test-image i took with the default settings (apart from the mode [set to macro] and the flash [i had to disable it]). The focus should be on the third black key.
I've seen a lot of cell phone photos but this phone is the best I've seen so far. Take a close look at the attached photo and you will see amazing clarity, true-to-life colors and a long depth of field. It is comparable to a photo I would take with my Canon 40D SLR camera.
I'm blown away.
Aside: Some of the detail is lost because XDA compresses the photo a lot. But you get the flavor of the photo from the attachment.
I agree. I loved my note 2 but got this note 3 solely for the camera upgrade. That alone was worth it to me

Excellent picture.
And I'm damn envious you went to the UCLA/Kal game. I had to miss it last weekend. I like how the picture clearly captures fans in the stands and the players on the field during warm ups. It looks like you are sitting in the lower level of Section 1 where the UCLA players exit from the tunnel. Very nice.
Well done with the pic. I hope to use the Note 3 camera the next home game against Colorado.
GO BRUINS!
RIP #36
I was taking low light pictures last night and came to a few conclusions:
1. Pictures came out a bit grainy
2. It was hard to manually adjust the focus point. The camera kept auto-focusing on the candle instead of the people regardless of where I tapped.
3. Viewing angle wasn't as good as the iPhone. [I took a picture with a 4S and Note 3 in the exact same location and had to lean back like crazy to get both people in the shot]
Aside from this, I've totally fallen in love with the Note 3 from my migration from the iPhone 5. I am however concerned about the camera performance and am crossing my fingers to hope that there are settings and things that I need to do to get a better picture quality.
It does however take amazing pictures when there's enough light.

Well, yes, it's an exaggeration. It's not as good as my EF 70-200mm f/2.8L lens. But look at the white balance and color reproduction on that photo. It's pretty true. And it didn't cost $2,000 either. And, that "L" series lens is quite bulky.
Read this article by Trey Ratcliff, my favorite photographer, and I think you'll agree that the days of the SLR are dead.

Those are good points, but that article you posted compares DSLR's to the Sony NEX7 (an excellent 2/3rds camera. I'm actually thinking of buying one) not to a vastly inferior camera phone.
I agree 100% that our new phones take decent snapshots for a phone, but for dim light or fast action shots (or both combined, like my sons nighttime football games under the lights) the DSLR still remains king and will for some time to come.
Just one problem is, the ridiculously large depth of field from these little fixed EF 2,2 lens guaranties you will never be able to blur the BG at all, (unless you PP every image after the game)
I love the fact that the cameras in these phones have come as far as they have. There is NO WAY I am carrying around one of my Canon EOS1D Mark II bodies and a 100--400 F 2,8 L lens but I always have my phone with me,
I hope I'm not taking this thread off on a tangent, but this thread reminded me of an issue I've been having.
I've notice that the Note 3 takes a while to actually process photos. I will take the photo and then the phone will tell me that the photo is processing. The processing can take up to 3-5 seconds which isn't helpful if you're trying to take multiple shots in quick succession.
Does anyone know why this happens? Is there a way around it?

Rate this thread to express how the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.

I have. S7 beats it.
They must be pretty dang close in comparison. Would probably be specific to the situation. Here are the specs:
Nexus 6P: f2.0 aperture and 1.55 μm pixel size. Not a great f stop, but that's some big pixels.
S7 Edge: f1.7 aperture and 1.4 μm pixel size. Awesome aperture, especially for getting that background blurred out, but the pixel size isn't quite as big.

I think objectively s7 picks up more detail in highlights where g4 seems to be doing slightly better with shadows. I also think that g4 is better with contrast (because s7 is overly contrasty), but s7 takes the prize because it doesn't have such prominent lens flare, which got very bad in one of the shots.
http://i.imgur.com/MU54jwz.jpg
Your G4 looks like it has the flare problem ?
I really like the spectrum color, it's the only one that don't turn yellowish in low light.
I really think the G4 is better in low light than S7. Except for the flare (it could have been that the lens was smudgy a bit, who knows), the G4 took better, more detailed and overall less noisy pictures. But, more importantly, it was closer to the real lighting in those scenes. The S7 would go all nuts with yellow-orangeish tints... When I took the photos, looking at them on the phones, I saw very little differences, but when I looked at them on a 27 inch monitor I saw where and how the G4 stood out.
You definitely has lens flare problem. Check thiss thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/help/2-g4s-cameras-screen-temps-t3186732

Hi @VictorC,
This is another Victor, from Bucharest as well! Thanks a lot for your comparison shots. I would like, provided you have the spare time, to meet and go together with a 3 smartphones comparison. I own a Nexus 6p and I am willing to bet will wipe the floor with S7 in low light (and not only). We can talk on private about this initiative. :good:

By no means do I think the S7 Edge camera is bad (far from it actually), it's just that I think it's too aggressive and, in low light, it has some trouble with finding the right white balance. Still, these things could be corrected via updates.
You have a Sony or Isocell sensor ?
Isocell

Well that explains it.
Actually it does not. I have yet to see a comparison between shots taken with S7/S7E with Isocell and Sony sensors
In my experience, the stock camera's HDR+ mode works great for suppressing noise in low-light pics, but doesn't really do much for actual high dynamic range scenes.
In a typical dark foreground/sunny background situation, my (2014) Moto X used to do a great job keeping the highlights from overexposing and bringing up the dark parts of the scene. My 6P, on the other hand, using the stock Google camera with HDR+ active, barely seems to do anything in this respect. Sunny skies are still blown out, faces in the foreground almost black. I'm not looking for an overprocessed HDR "effect", but this seems a little too subtle.
I just want to make sure this isn't a problem specific to my device, so: anyone else seeing the same thing?
Edit -- I tried a couple of dedicated HDR apps from the Play Store but they all say that the 6P lacks exposure mode so they can't do the bracketing needed for true HDR.
I feel the same. Compared to the LG G4 I had before, HDR on 6P barely does anything.
Maybe its my old eyes, but I can't noticed a real difference either.
Thanks folks. So it isn't just me.
Maybe "HDR" is just a poorly chosen name for this feature. Like I said, for noisy low-light pics it works really well. Just look closely while it's still processing: shortly after it finishes, you can see the noisy version being replaced with much cleaner picture. But apparently it's not optimized for high-contrast scenes.
Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nexus 6P met Tapatalk
Actually it works really well. Here's why: it saves you from blowing your highlights. It doesn't do much for shadows, however it gives you a very clean image where your able to boost the shadows to your liking and the image remains clean. It stays away from that garbage fake "HDR" look that most apps create.
Also! Proshot does exposure bracketing very well. Here is a screenshot of how to setup the settings for it to work. Use these settings and you'll be fine.

Hey, thanks.
What got me doubting was an example in the article where Google introduced the feature, here. In the second example (the landscape with the two girls in the foreground), the difference is quite pronounced. The image on the right, shot with HDR+ on, has a fully defined sky with visible clouds etc.
But I've shot images with HDR+ on that looked a lot more like the blown-out comparison shot on the left, with large highlight zones with no detail captured at all. Could be I was asking too much of it on those occasions, I'm not sure. I'll experiment a little more and try and get some examples.
ProShot is great, thanks for the tip, just bought the full version!
Hi, I've been struggling with HDR apps on the 6P thanks to the exposure compensation bug (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=196815) and was hoping your Pro Shot setting might help. When I tried it I got three photos, but two were at the same exposure, while the third was much much brighter. It also doesn't seem to merge them together automatically.

Instead of using SPD4 use SPD1.
Also, proshot doesn't merge them for you. You have to do that yourself.

Thanks, that did the trick! Good to know about the merging, much appreciated.

No problem. Enjoy!
Noup, you're not the only one I usually have to choose between having blowed out skies or having people underexposed ...
I just switched to my 6P from an LG G4. While I liked the HDR on the camera, I feel the 6P produces a better image overall. Much less sharpening/watercolor look to the 6P photos. The LG's started to look like fake watercolors when you view them on anything but the phone, unless the light was absolutely perfect, which it rarely was.
But with that said, HDR seems to be terrible on this phone with the stock app, in my limited experience.

In my experience, the stock camera's HDR+ mode works great for suppressing noise in low-light pics, but doesn't really do much for actual high dynamic range scenes.
In a typical dark foreground/sunny background situation, my (2014) Moto X used to do a great job keeping the highlights from overexposing and bringing up the dark parts of the scene. My 6P, on the other hand, using the stock Google camera with HDR+ active, barely seems to do anything in this respect. Sunny skies are still blown out, faces in the foreground almost black. I'm not looking for an overprocessed HDR "effect", but this seems a little too subtle.
I just want to make sure this isn't a problem specific to my device, so: anyone else seeing the same thing?
Edit -- I tried a couple of dedicated HDR apps from the Play Store but they all say that the 6P lacks exposure mode so they can't do the bracketing needed for true HDR.

Take a picture inside by a window and you can see the difference with HDR+ on. You can basically see what's outside the window with HDR+ on but the window looks blown out with it off.
This... I've written about this before saying that it shouldn't be called HDR+ but instead Low Light+. The HDR effect is minimal compared to the low light noise reduction.
Typically on an iPhone you can get reasonable backlit photos. When I tried to do the same on my Nexus 6p, HDR+ offered little to no improvement. I decided to use my iPhone instead which did a mich better job for actually adding dynamic range.

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Huawei Mate 9 come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Now i can post, thanks
I bought the phone 4 hours ago, the camera is mainly good and better than Note5, sadly there's no Huawei update yet in my region.

Nice pictures.
I got the device today. I think the camera is fantastic and I'm coming from an iPhone 7 plus (after a note 7). Especially the aperture mode. That is something amazing.

Agreed. Aperture mode is brilliant. I've lost countless hours playing with it.

How would you rate the camera on mate 9 against note 5? Now I have n5 but I want to change on mate 9. Camera is the most important for me because I have 2 little boys and I make a lot of pictures of them.
Haven't made that many photos yet but the camera is miles better than my old nexus 6.

What about the pictures in the low light? I've heard that is not good?

I find them fine. Perhaps noisier than my iPhone. But at least i have bokeh. Nothing out there enable such creativity

Does setting your photo resolution to 12MP produce better quality photos compared to 20MP? In other words, is the 20MP camera sensor oversampling to produce a better quality 12MP photo?

20MP is better cause it use the 20MP black and white sensor.

I'm not sure if 20MP pictures are really better because those are built from BW sensor image and colors are filled from 12 MP RGB sensor.
Personally I have always used 12MP pictures but that doesn't make it better option
Unless you are printing them, or pixel peeping, it's probably moot.
What matters is the details ,so 20MP is better since the details are coming from the 20MP sensor.
But again, if your just looking at the photo on-screen, it's scaled down to less than 20MP, and even less than 12MP. Any extra details that might be there, won't be noticed unless you zoom in, or print it.

Even shooting a 12MP resolution photo, I'm under the impression that both cameras are still used. The details still come from the 20MP camera. I was wondering if it oversamples the pixels to create a better image, much like what Nokia Lumia phones used to do. The Lumia 1020 had a 41MP camera, but produced 5 megapixel images that were absolutely stunning.
I bought the mate 9 and honestly I'm not satisfied with the images. Especially in low light. My note 5 was a little bit better in my opinion. I think I will back to n5
