Post pictures taken with your DROID TURBO 2 here

How is the camera when taking pictures of documents? something I do regularly, turn into PDF and also use OCR.
Does the lack of OIS have any effect on this?

How do you make documents into pdf's? I use the scan function in Google Drive. It's quick and easy.

Not too bad.

There is some fantastic detail in that shot. Amazing.

And I'm guessing you reduced the size of the photo as well? If so, even more amazing.

Yes. It seemed to compress it to upload it. So far so good with the camera after 4h.

Here is a more macro shot from within Tapatalk. Maybe it will process it different.

EDIT: Now that I see the picture on the computer screen it isn't as impressive as it was on the phone. The blacks aren't as black. Auto HDR was off.

Yeah it's good too. I use camscanner

Hey, here's the night shots with hopefully with less downsizing.

I'm impressed with the camera!

Photo taken with default app

Taken with Google Camera

And taken with Open Camera

All just point and shoot. No adjustments.

Looks good, looks like the Moto app has the whitest sign. Which app do you feel is the closest to real-life?

 

[elvee68]

I do like the default app but Open Camera though not is fast, has great features.

Three night shots, no flash.

Default app.

Google Camera.

Open Camera.

It's hard to evaluate the difference with only 1024 px images. One thing I can see is the Google App tends to very slightly oversaturate the colors in these shots. Look at the light green bushes in the forefront, the blue SUV parked near them, the yellow paint on the curb of the landscaped island. All of these objects look more colorful in the Google app. Also take a look at the silver SUV far back on the left side of the shot. It seems to "glow" compared to the stock app and the Open Camera app.

The stock app and the Open Camera app look virtually identical with these shots. BTW, great job framing the shots and keeping a steady hand to make them nearly identical (or else you used a tripod and/or sized them in photo editing software.)

I went through these same sorts of experiments with my T1 and concluded that the stock app was pretty good, certainly no other app was better for simple shots. I tried Camera Zoom FX, Camera FV-5, and Google Camera. I liked Camera FV-5 because of the added features but I found I didn't use them very much and I really like the "shake to open" feature of the stock app.

No. No editing at all. I was sitting with my back against the wall.
I think the Google app was auto HDR. The other two were not.

I do have a bunch of pictures but let me dig up a video that shows it off better - the stabilization of the camera and quality is by far the best I've seen.

The video I took at a concert day after I got it.

I also got some cool sunset photos. It was incredibly orange after a cloudy dreary day. I believe the HDR was on. I didn't know if I should "resize" them or "compress" them to post. These are compressed

I really love how this one came out. I had to crop it a lot but the detail is still there.

I like the camera. I think it is better than the one on the T1.
