camera quality

[DroidyMcDroid]

any news about the dinc2 camera being upgraded? or is it suspected it will be pretty much the same as the regular dinc (which wasn't bad)

Should be similar/identical to the Inc S, which is supposed to be pretty great from the reviews I have read

Engadget took a bunch of pictures with the Incredible S in their review if you want to check that out.

Is it the same camera as the Thunderbolt? I hope so, the Thunderbolt's is fantastic.

I don't know, but Engadget seems to think the Incredible S' camera is better, actually.

Overall image quality is still among the finest the company has produced, arguably besting the output from the Thunderbolt, which scored some pretty high praise in our recent review.

Wow, that's a big compliment.

what are those 'full res crops' they have on the engadget review? they don't look nearly as good. are they small parts of a full 8mp picture? because those don't look too hot. the regular camera samples are good

Yeah they cropped out sections of full photos so it's like zooming in really far. They don't look great, but no phone camera is going to capture that much detail any time soon.

phonearena doesn't speak very highly of this phone's camera quality

the camera is the same mega pixel as the DINC1 but the light sensor and software have been drastically updated. so i guess the answer is yes and no

I think the camera is awesome outside in good light but not so hot inside (low light), just seems to find it a little hard to focus but you'll find that with any camera (most new cameras have a infra red beam for low light shooting).

I like messing around with close up shots and find the camera to be spectacular.

Few examples.

one thing i've found is the flash works much better on this phone. on the DINC1 it would wash out much more and sometimes give a slight blue hue to the photo. now it compensates and looks much better

Higher mp do not always equal great pictures.

what does everyone think of the video recording? compare pics and vids to the x, dinc, and tbolt?

 

[xgunther]

Seems to record at lower FPS compared to my Fascinate.

And by lower FPS, I mean it just seems kinda choppy, and has that wobbly effect when you are shooting and moving around.
