How's the Camera?

**wadea10** · 11-22-2012, 09:24 PM

I currently have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus and have unlimited data, but having just gotten a new dog that fact the camera on the Nexus is so bad I'm thinking of upgrading and paying retail for the DNA. I have seen mixed reviews regarding the camera and for me that is an important aspect of the phone. What are everyone's thoughts on the camera and how it stacks up with the competition?

I think the camera is great. I have taken a few indoor and a few outdoor pictures and it blows my TB away and is so far as I can see as good as my P&S.

Does it have a dedicated camera button on the side of the device?

If people don't mind posting pictures I'd really appreciate it. I know that there have been some pictures posted but hey the more with different situations the better.

The HTC DROID DNA packs an 8MP camera that does stills of up to 3264x2448 pixels and records 1080p video @ 30fps. There's an LED flash / video light too. So i think the camera on the phone is good. You'd better watch related youtube videos to help you.

To me, this camera blows the Galaxy Nexus out of the water...not even a competition. I think it takes excellent pictures. I was hoping someone would help me though. I had my Galaxy Nexus set to automatically upload the pics and video I took to my Google + account but I can't seem to figure out how to do it with this phone. When I open the camera and click Settings I see an "automatic upload" option but when I click "select a service" the only thing that I can select is "Flickr for HTC Sense". Can someone please let me know a step by step process?

Thanks, I actually did this but it didn't seem to be uploading. I just clicked on the option "upload all now" in Google+ and after doing this it seems to be linked now because my new pictures are now uploading.

On another note, I noticed the videos that are uploaded from my phone don't look all that great when I view them in Google +. But when I download them from Google+ to my computer and view them on a program like ReelPlayer they look awesome.....I thought that was interesting.
