Here is an auto awesome video I made yesterday.

Some Macro Samples:


Macro, Normal mode, Scene Auto

Macro, HDR+, Scene Auto

Macro, HDR+, Scene Auto

As you can see from the middle one, the HDR mode does bring out more detail in macro shots as well. It aint just for low light.

whats wrong with video recording it stutters the whole time you try to shoot your Video. You having the same Problem or is it just me?
Tried it several times no luck. Any setting i need to do?

The video is a little choppy when panning during recording but the recorded video plays smooth. Is this what you mean?

Blue meth is the best meth.

Some of the low-light shots are really impressive!

So this is a pic my wife snapped of me tonight. No flash, low light and HDR on. I couldn't be happier with the picture. I was actually very impressed. It captured the mood perfectly.

Just placed an order earlier today for a N5. The slow shutter posts kinda of worry me. I have a very active 2 year old that is constantly moving. I don't expect over the top from my cell phone pics, I break out the Canon DSLR for that, but I do like a solid pic. I love the pics my S3 takes, HDR matched with Perfectly clear and a few other apps and I'm extremely happy. Looking/Hoping for similar performance.

Here are some of my S3 pics.

I make comparison between my old Digicam Sony DSC-W130, Nexus 5, and Nexus 5 HDR+ Mode

First thing to note: HDR+ is definitely much better than auto mode, always use it when possible!

Overall, I'm satisfied with the Nexus 5 camera, but it didn't beat the Sony. Nexus 5 outperformed the Sony with near scenes (lamp, kitchen), while the Sony did better with far away scenes (grass, socket). The sony captured more detail, but the Nexus produces better photos when they contain gradients such as shadows or shiny surfaces. The sensor of the Nexus camera is inferior, but I guess it makes up by better prost processing. For complex scenery, the Sony is better, for simple indoor scenery, the Nexus is better.

I didn't test low-light conditions, but that's actually one of the Nexus' strengths and I'm pretty sure it will outperform my old camera there.

The shutter speeds are not bad on the Nexus 5, as long as you are in normal mode. It's only really slow in HDR+. But the S3 definitely has a faster shutter speed.

The Nexus 5 sink picture actually looks like it out performed your dlsr.

Thanks for the info!
