I love HTC , but still have not bought One (M8) ...because of the camera
- Yes. The photos were taken midday. But the contrast was my doing. I use Camera Awesome to take photos and was experimenting with the separated focus / light meter option. For the shadow photo I wanted the shadows darker than the default metering provides. Not everyone's taste, but it also is just a raw photo w/out postprocessing.04-20-2014 08:25 PMLike 0
- wow thanks dude!
I like how m8 looks alot sharper in the hair.
But I still like the warmer, brighter over feel in picture from s3.
m8 doesn't seem to handle huge amount of lights coming in directly at the lens very well. Like the reflection on the floor looks so over blown...
It'd definitely help if photos are taken in the same angle, but thanks so much for the photos man
This gives me some idea of what I'd be getting if I upgrade to m8 from s3
The HTC M8 has the ability to adjust exposure after the shot and it works really good. I don't tend to over expose because I'm a good photographer in general and so many of you would benefit from searching the Internet on how to take and frame a great picture than looking at comparisons between the S5 and the M8....You're just so misguided! If the camera on the phone is that important to you, then you must be into photography a little and if that's the case then consider learning more about the craft.
You will find that each camera has unique strengths and weaknesses. What makes great pictures is the combination of the artist, his brush strokes, and his canvas. Notice I did not say his brush. Because an artist can be creative no matter what tool he uses, there's chalk, there's rocks, there's brushes, there's pencils.... You get my point right! So stop obsessing over your tools and learn how to create using the tools at your disposal. Every tool has a significant quality known unto itself. The better you are at showing off your tool's advantages, the less likely your tool gets in the way of great pictures! It's really that simple! No one camera can be the best at everything!
If the S5 can't take good low light pics, then i wouldn't be trying to take low light pics with that camera. If the M8 can't take good high contrast lighting pics, then I wouldn't be trying to take those kinds of pics with that camera... But, I bet because I'm a pretty good photographer in general, I could do more with those cameras weaknesses than most of you could do with their strengths and that's just because I've studied the craft a little! I believe that's something that all of you pseudo photographers could benefit from... Just saying! Lol!

If you have light hitting your lense then you don't know what you're doing. Typically light should be hitting your subject. Most camera phones will over expose when light hits the lens just as with DSLRs and SLRs. The advantage with DSLRs and SLRs are that you can put lens covers on them to keep the light from hitting the lens. ALL cameras will falter in those conditions. Another thing, pictures taken in bright sun lit days are not the best conditions for great photography because of the hard lighting and shadows.

With all due respect, mind sharing some photos you have taken with m8? I would love to see what m8 is capable of in the hands of a very good painter.04-21-2014 02:50 PMLike 0 - The M8s camera is good for probably 98% of the population whom takes pictures for their social media purposes.
I'm able to take decent pictures at outings and whatnot and have no concern if it doesn't look " professional " at all.
The selfies that my wife leaves for me on my phone are more than good enough for me to stare and appreciate the M8s camera qualities

- agree with everything you said. Photographers are essentially painters who paint with light. Camera is just a brush, a tool, or a vehicle to get to the final product.

I haven't done a bunch of pictures with my cell phone, but i think i framed a couple of pretty nice ones on that thread!

m8 will give you way sharper images, but images maybe darker than usual.
EVO LTE will give you less sharp images, but you are going to get brighter colors.ImmaSlave4U likes this.04-21-2014 08:15 PMLike 1 - From the sample shots I have seen so far... First sample shots with HTC's EVO 4G LTE for Sprint

But I am ready for an upgrade and I am seriously considering the One M8, but the camera uproar caused me to briefly consider jumping ship to Samsung. I really don't think that will be necessary now as I think the M8 camera gripes may be overblown.04-21-2014 08:51 PMLike 0 - What you call brighter, I consider more shallow or less rich than the M8.

When you look at the camera threads, you should be looking for the users that are good photographers. The good photographers and good photographs show what the camera is capable of. Any camera can take bad pictures in the wrong hands.
Bottom line on ultrapixel vs. multi-mega pixel cameras is this - the ultra pixel camera will be more responsive (fast shutter, more FPS), take less memory to store the photos, perform better indoors, moderate to low light.
The multi-mega pixel cameras will take better shots in good to bright light, provide the opportunity to crop. However, the files take more memory and the phones can't perform in low light without blur or heavy smudging noise reduction (despite what the flawed reviews seem to show).
The M8 (and M7) are decent cameras out of the box, but really start to sing when you get some experience and feel for them. If you have photographic aptitude, you can get shots that you just can't get with other phone cameras. Comparing the s5 and M8 is like comparing '67 camaro ss to a '67 lotus elan. Believe me, the HTC camera has definite strengths and many charms, or else I (and many other happy HTC camera owners) wouldn't be using one.04-21-2014 10:13 PMLike 5 - I have read this blog before.

Posted via Android Central App04-21-2014 10:24 PMLike 0 - Actually, yes, I am going to take your opinion on this. I'm currently on the EVO LTE and have taken quite a few good shots with it. I definitely don't remember hearing complaint after complaint regarding its camera capability when it came out.
But I am ready for an upgrade and I am seriously considering the One M8, but the camera uproar caused me to briefly consider jumping ship to Samsung. I really don't think that will be necessary now as I think the M8 camera gripes may be overblown.
Posted via Android Central App04-21-2014 10:33 PMLike 0 - Many many of you have. I did, I used the M8 for two days and couldn't believe the pos camera. I truly can't believe why they cheaped out with such a bad camera. The camera and the silly looking length made me dump the m8. Never had a phone that hung out of my back pocket until the m8. It just looks silly.
