Camera

What is the trick to taking nice photos (day & night images) with the Samsung Galaxy S III?

I guess I've been spoiled coming from an iPhone 4S. Or is it simply that the iPhone 4S has a better camera, period?

Now I know some of your take photos with your S III...

There's a camera?

Oh boy, here we go.

Point and shoot? I don't have any problems taking awesome pics with the S3. With the Galaxy note however the shutter lag really ruined a lot of pics. Maybe try explaining what problems you are running into when taking pics that makes them bad and we can go from there. A couple of tips for now are to use "tap to focus" to choose your subject, choose an appropriate scene mode for the pic you are taking, change the metering mode if you're having lighting issues, try using HDR, etc.

But without knowing what your problems are it's nearly impossible to help. And with all the "how can I do this as good as my iPhone" posts lately you likely are in for a ride.

I AGREE, my camera sucks in low light, but outside it's beautiful, long as its focused!

But I still don't miss my iPhone, camera or not!

Maybe I should have made myself clear. It's not bad per s?. I was more asking how to make them even better. But I appreciate the responses. I've already started using the 'mode' options today. It certainly makes a difference...

I miss my iPhone camera too. Still trying to get used to the SG III. =)

8 MP and 29 fps HD videos with AF...Not good enough?

as I've said in another thread, its not that the 4s has a better camera, I read somewhere that the s3 and 4s have the same hardware for the camera.

its just the 4s is smaller and easier to stabilize than the slimmer larger s3 hence thinking you are taking better pictures, but in reality its the user that is different

Ah I get it now, I'm the issue

I know, just pulling your leg.

I do need to practice more night shots. I think that's what I really miss about my iPhone 4S camera.

In all honesty. I think the 4S does take better pictures overall.

During the day I feel the GS3 takes great pictures but just casual shots sent through text are too compressed. I know I can send through email if I want the best quality but c'mon... "Honey, just took a quick pick of something I want u to see... I sent it through email because I want u to view it in the best quality" now granted, the pics sent through text aren't horrible but it'd be better if they were in nicer quality like the phone mentioned in the OP. Yes I know of limitations of sms and am fully aware of Handcent GO SMS and the others but shouldn't this phone be capable of better compression?

Switch the mega pixels to 6 and you get full screen pictures.

I use manual settings on my DSLR, so I find the ability to adjust exposure compensation & ISO settings on the S3 very helpful to getting good shots in dimly lit rooms.

 

[Dramer77]

the S3 has a upgraded 4s sensor.. so its actually better

Feel the same way!

Unfortunately then it must be the software that's crippling it.
