Is there a replacement camera app that makes the camera better?

You know all I have to say is stop it, the camera takes pictures just fine, either you like it or you don't. Stop complaining please its starting to feel like a preschool argument. Here is a picture I took today with my turbo it is more than exceptable

I've taken some spectacular shots with the Turbo (below from last weekend) but that said, it's weakness is moving subjects in anything other than great lighting. I can understand the frustration of those who need or depend on a simple, quick & reliable camera because of that. However, for my purposes, I wouldn't trade my Turbo for any phone currently on the market. It does so many other things - and does them so quickly & smoothly that I'm willing to give it a pass on the camera weakness. I don't take many pictures and of those, the ones that are problematic are the minority so the blur caused by the slow shutter are just an occasional minor nuisance insufficient to sour me on the device in it's totality.

Hey, look! It's more stationary outdoor subjects in response to complaints about moving indoor subjects! Excellent!

Love that pic.

Yours is an informed and reasonable viewpoint. I share it with you, though my frustration level is higher because I take a lot of shots of my daughter playing basketball. There are many degrees of separation between bright outdoor sunlight and dark night interior candlelight. As you point out, the Turbo struggles too close to the perfect sunlit end of the spectrum. Well lit scnenes (not outdoors) with mnotion will still blur.

Cue the next pic of outdoor scenery...

I've had some of the blurry shot issues too. Does anyone know if the app "Camera Zoom FX" results in better camera performance and pictures, and how it compares to other camera apps?

Myself and a few others have reported using free and paid apps (LOTS of them) with no real success or upgrades. As has been pointed out, they can only work with the hardware given to them, and its an overall conclusion that unless captured in optimal light and settings, motion is going to give the camera problems whee stationary shots will come out nicely.

It never ends. Your opinion is wrong, mine is right, and here is why (posts examples unrelated to problem at hand supposedly negating ones opinion while simultaneously "proving" posters opjnion is right....

When I want a good moving shot, first I start recording, then the shot I want take the pic. All moving shots come out good this way. If you need flash doing it, take it off Auto and put on continuous.

Two of those pictures were taken while driving, can you tell me which one,s so throw your comment out . you don't need to be so crass about things . hint picture of snow covered trees, and picture from garden of the gods of the rock formations and clouds in the back ground, both were moving shots.

You refute the problem at hand by saying...."YOU have to stop complaining, YOU sound like a grade school argument. I AM right because my good photos cancel out your horrible ones!" And then call my comments crass...and again you see nothing wrong in that?

 

[jamielov]

There isn't much else to say that isn't 4 pages of repeating. I simply don't understand why some can't understand and respect other peoples views. Besides being personally insulted in a now deleted thread (yes, over a cellular phone) I can't grasp why the defenders can't simply say...man, I have gotten some good pictures but I can see where you are having some issues and I would also be unhappy... Just as the detractors of the camera (myself included) CONTINUE to say under the proper conditions some of the shots do truly come out wonderful, but under certain situations the pics will come out brutally bad? Its really not that big of a concession. One side doesn't need to be 100% right. It blows my mind that anyone thinks I'm happy I paid $700 for a phone I ended up completely unhappy with. Yeah, I guess I really showed me! Earlier on I was accused of even using a screen grab (faking a photo) for an example of my Maxx in hard conditions. So yes, over a cell phone, I am using false pictures and examples to prove my false point. It really isn't something this worthwhile to be that suspicious and angry over... Differing views and opinions.

I haven't tried that one in particular, but based on my experiences with others I don't expect it would be much of an improvment. The apps that allow for more granular manual settings of the camera don't necessarily work on the Turbo in that way. That is, the phone itself has to allow the app to set those settings. So, shutter priority for example didn't work on apps I tried because the Turbo won't allow an app to change the shutter speed.

Thanks for the tip. This is something I haven't tried as yet.

And both were *outside* That is, lit fully by the sky. Not indoors. Not with indoor light. Outside.

The issue is light and motion, but it is more light. As I've said before, the shots I've taken of my daughter on the playground playing basketball come out great. In a well lit gym with large windows, during the day, they come out crappier than my Maxx shots did. The fact you got excellent pics under the conditions you did is completely irrelevant to the issues some of us are complaining about. I can't for the life of me understand why this is so difficult to comprehend. So, I'll just stop now.

Finally, I don't know who you're accusing of being "crass," because you didn't mention or quote, but the "tone" of your earlier post was pretty dismissive and condescending to be hauling out an accusation like that now.

Indoor shot. In a gym. No windows. Indoor light. Moving action.
