Those that switched from GS3 to Maxx HD

[nathanskidmore]

I am anxiously wondering the same thing: do apps such as Camera zoom FX or Camera 360 take better photos than the stock app?
I’m torn between S3 and RHD, the cameras are making it difficult to decide.

If anyone would post high-res comparisons it would be greatly appreciated!

This pic was taken with camerazoomfx....still terrible....I know the bag was in motion so that is blurry but even the rest of the pic was blurry! I even took it twice in case I was moving but still the same result....

Agreed, they are not impressive, I would rival the front camera of the sgs3 against the rear of the RAZR HD. It saddens me to say it, but I'll probably exchange for a black sgs3 tomorrow.

would this photo have been better with s3?

i'm trying to decide between s3 and razr maxx hd. 2 most imprtant things to me on my phone are battery life then camera. would i be better off with the s3 then since i can just supplement with a spare battery? i really hate bad pictures. it's the second reason i'm moving from my nexus (first being battery life).

yes, with a removable battery, battery life becomes a non-issue. I have several batteries for my Bionic. you can't swap out a bad camera for a good one.

If a camera is importannt then get the SGIII. I am getting acceptable results with my Razr Maxx HD camera in my opinion, but I am not a professional photographer. I prefer the email, brighter display, build quality, software, bluetooth and speaker volume on the Maxx HD over the SGIII.

The problem is when you want to use a case. It makes it hard to do a battery swap from an OB Defender.

Here is one I took with my s3 two weeks ago. Even in low light with flash it is a million times better! (I added vignette effect on the edges after pic was taken)

Can I assume you are keeping the sgs3 then?

My wife has my sg3 now, so I'm either gonna get another one or wait to see what the HTC DNA ends up being next month...

I was thinking I would do exactly the same, unless for whatever reason the black sgs3 is irresistible. My wife had the sgs3 as well.

Not the best comparison, since the is my RAZR vs my SG3, but I think the RAZRs have the same camera.

Both pictures were taken at the exact same time from the exact same spot with flash and everything on auto. I use the hell out of the camera on my phone so even though I had always settled for Motorola's crappy quality I just can't go back after having Samsung's quality. That and you can take pictures as fast as you can tap the button, not just every few seconds like on the Motorolas.

Its actually ok at taking close up shots. Heres two photos vs my One X with Sense 4.5 camera mod installed. Up close, its not bad and can hold its own. But the distance shot, its just a blurry mess.

Ya it takes decent outdoor pics, its the indoor light where it fails

 

[1812dave]

that may be. never used that type of case. for my bionic I use a shell/holster and would want something similar if I got the sammy. I can remove the battery in literally less than 8 seconds.

How does it compare if you are using a camera app like camera zoom?

Camera FX and Camera 360 did nothing for picture clarity, at least for me.

My GS3 is sold and on its way to its new owner. I will miss it, but I am really enjoying my RMHD.

Bad to say about sgs3?

Touchwiz
Ugly
Plastic

It's great with cm10 imho but didn't hold a candle to the build, battery and radio that Motorola has. Camera isn't great and certainly isn't as good, but that's the only downfall.

Most people only say they hate touchwiz cause they heard someone else say it. I rarely hear any good reasons to hate it. VERY rarely.

And how do you like your cast iron phone? You do realize your car is plastic, right? And the majority of everything in production today?

When is the last time you cooked a peach cobbler in your phone? Do you really think the S3 is crappy plastic even though the majority of everyone that has one, loves it?

Saying the S3 is cheap, and saying you hate touchwiz is two massively overkilled stupid gripes by those who don't own the S3. Formulate your own opinions people. Try things before you just instantly believe everything you read.
