Re: Moto camera update
I had the update applied before I knew it so I can't do immediate before/after comparisons. But I did a couple of little quick tests and the focus and post-processing definitely seem improved to me. I had a feeling this was possible and would be a priority for Moto.

Re: Moto camera update
thank you
Unbelievable, I know - I surprise myself, but yes lol
same exact device (wife too) from launch date March 17, 2011
to be honest, I think if I hadn't rooted and unSensed (via custom rom) them a couple years back, wife and I would have probably moved on to different phones. You're probably familiar with HTC's skin called Sense. So the developer created a rom called Unsensed, which helped the phone run faster as well as more efficiently.

I don't know, it could be the placebo effect. The update was pushed to the 2013 X as well.

Lol, you guys are awesome! So basically you were incensed with Sense so you unSensed it? 
Me and my lady are still on Razr M's and since I don't have the brains or energy for rooting we are suffering through the botched Verizon KK ota update that has totally crippled these previously awesome little phones
My wife has a charger planted at literally every location she goes just to make it through the day... I've had 4 CLNR replacements and done more FDRs than I care to count, but I can't do it anymore so I ordered the new Moto X.
However, it's taking almost a month for them to make the custom X so I have since changed my mind and I'm gonna go with the @DroidTurbo bc I'm tired of charging my phones midday.

Re: Moto camera update
Looks like it's just about the Moto 360 integration. With the 2013 x the photo improvement came with a new version of Android. It might not be something they can update with the app alone.
Re: Moto camera update
Well critics have said that the sony camera sensor is the same as Samsung and others that produce great photo's .So Motorola must have decided that taking the time for camera software development wasn't a priority in getting the phone out. Now that the phone has launched and the critics are giving the camera a mediocre rating, they are working on improvements.

Re: Moto camera update
The easiest solution is at least they should allow the users to adjust the shutter speed and ISO level, but they want to keep it simple so they won't. Right now third party camera apps can't seem to access to these settings for the phone, probably due to lack of compatible drivers.
Actually these post processing technology are very expensive to develop. Big companies invest huge amount of money in it. It's not something easy that Motorola can just do from a simple update, they can improve minor things. The most cost effective way for them is to lease the technology from another company.

Re: Moto camera update
After seeing the specs on the droid turbo my mouth was watering! WOW! Hopefully it is the sum of all the parts and a great experience for you. Of course not droid for me since I am ATT. Enjoy that beast!

Re: Moto camera update
Not sure how all this works but my kids had field day today and I knew I wanted a good camera and swapped my SIM to my iPhone 6+. The pictures and video are just top notch. I am still puzzled at how apple does it with a 8 MP camera but clearly they have figured our the post processing technology. Just wish more android OEM's would. iPhone proves you do not need large mega pixels to get nice photos.

Re: Moto camera update
Because megapixels are literally the least important spec when it comes to camera quality (at least once you reach that 8 MP number). You don't need more detail than 8 MP unless you're cropping into something tiny which most people don't care about. The size/type of the sensor, the image stabilization technology, and the processing software are all way more important than megapixel count.

Re: Moto camera update
It's probably too late since you're getting a new phone(s) anyways, though believe me, you don't have to have that much know for rooting and romming. With my Tbolt, I actually had help from another user here on AC (shout out to UpStreamMiami). Slowly got more acquainted with the whole thing, better understanding, and then rooted my Asus tablet on my own - but did so with help via a youtube video - there's lots of info out there, as well as very helpful communities. It can definately be a "learning by doing" experience - at least has worked that way for me.
With Moto x, not looking to root - I think the way it is will do (for me, and at lease for time being).
I remember those days of having to constantly charge. Wife and I went from that to carrying a spare battery everywhere we went, and then finally upgraded to a 3000mah extended battery. The stock battery is 1400mah!! Overall, there was less to charge through the day, though the trade off is that the phone is HEAVY. I was so happy to see that the new X is lighter than my phone, had I been using the phone with the stock batter - 144g vs 164g. :-D At this point in time, battery has degraded and when not in wifi I do need to charge.
I like the turbo too, and I'm sure it will be an outstanding phone. (you already know my main reason for taking the x instead).
Cheers to you and your lady and have a nice weekend everybody!

Re: Moto camera update
Yeah I knew that, but you did not address how android OEM cannot match apple in this areas and why they keep the pixel wars going with increasing MP but not really better pictures...
