[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdamHart612:
Have had the Galaxy Nexus for a week today. I have to say, this is the most satisfying camera on a phone I've ever used bar none. I have a dslr for those real moments, but use my phone camera multiple times a day to catch candid shots. This thing is just so fast! My dog/cat/car/drunk friends are never too quick to catch with it. Was at a niece's first birthday this past weekend, and I was the only one who could get nice photos of her. Literally every single other device simply took too long to focus and catch what she was doing. This was at a large family gathering with dedicated cameras and phones trying to get shots, and the Galaxy Nexus was the only one that could catch her expressions opening presents etc.

I'll take an MP drop any day of the week to be able to capture the images this thing can. The Galaxy Nexus camera is the best I've used on a phone without a doubt. There are higher quality sensors out there, and higher resolution sensors, but on a phone honestly speed is what I see mattering.

Again, this is a phone. If you're planning on taking extremely high quality shots... then you have a dedicated camera. Given the quality of phone camera sensors, do you really wanna blow a pic up like the 8 or 12MP sensors allow? Hell no. So what does that leave? Speed. And damn, I haven't ever been so impressed. The whole family gathering was in awe. I see people calling the 5MP sensor a downgrade, but wow are they wrong. This year I've owned an Evo, G2x, Sensation, and Epic4G....and not one could capture the things this can. In a week I've taken over 200 shots, while my higher quality but slower Epic hasn't hit that amount in the two months I've owned it.

So if the camera is turning you off about buying a GalNex...don't. It rocks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
Yep, I love it. It takes AMAZING pictures. I believe there are some reviews that bash the camera, but it's honestly user error. They are probably taking pictures way too quickly before it focuses.

I love it. I'm amazed at the photos it produces.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Cool. I'm coming from a G2x and I love its camera so it was a concern but not a deal breaker.

G2x had the best phone camera I've ever had. Colors just popped. I have a 5year old boy so its worth it for me.

G2x - 2.3.7 CM7

Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
There's almost nothing more worthless than a slow digital camera. I have a 3yr old and it's about impossible to get a good picture. I'm glad the GN is fast!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Speed is king. I miss no shots.

Quality is suspect though. And no it isn't user error. It's an average camera unless the sun is blazing, then it looks great along with any other cellphone camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Superfrag:
Same here. I absolutely love the speed of the camera. I keep getting surprised by how fast it is!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] godelsproof:
Same here.

Before I lost many shutter chance with slow camera.

galaxy nexus's camera is great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NZtechfreak:
No user error here, can safely say the camera is quite poor apart from the speed - for a mobile though it will satisfy some.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErGo_404:
+1, but the speed is quite incredible.

I noted that it is more responsiveness than speed actually, because the camera is not that fast (it is quite hard to freeze a movement with it).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] js0uth:
wow. really? i was kinda bummed about the camera. i guess ill have to wait and see for myself....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] her0n:
I had a Nexus for just under a week (long story..) and have to say, the camera was great.

I managed to get a *very* "herpderp" shot of my cat, which I don't think i'd have caught had it not had such a fast shutter. I'll attach the pic later when i'm home from work ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leedavis:
Camera app much improved, but camera itself isn't as good as my old Galaxy S2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YevS:
Could you post a zoomed in crop comparison?

I understand that there is no focus/shutter button lag, but quality wise, can you see the difference?

Edit: found a nice site:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
Haha that's awesome
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smacman:
With all due respect, those shots are all really blurry / grainy. I hope the camera is capable of more than that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akalias1981:
How on earth did you get a shot with that level of detail? I can't get anywhere near that quality, and it makes me wonder whether I have a faulty sensor.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
My take on the camera is... Most Android devices by the time the app is up and focused you missed the shot. I would much rather a 5mp shot than have an 8mp camera on my phone with no photo. If I want really high quality I won't be taking them on a phone but on a DSLR.... So in my opinion speed/focus wins out over raw pixel count. I'm VERY pleased with this camera much better than my SGS2!

Danny
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aldo37:
Yeah, those pictures are pretty bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
You aren't the only one. Worst part of this device. I don't care how fast it is. I like quality over speed. Google/Samsung should be ashamed of themselves. Only flaw, besides the size, in this excellent device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shamrock13:
I'm not saying this to bash you or anything, but I think what you said is funny and I'll explain..

"They are probably taking pictures way too quickly before it focuses."

While most if not everyone is praising the speed of it, you're suggesting the error is in the speed. Hahaha.

:D

Regardless, I trust everyone in this thread when they say they love the camera, and also,

Post pictures! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
I'm not photographer, but damn....I think the pictures from this phone look amazing.

What the hell is everyone seeing that I'm not? And yes, I have a dslr. Obviously the quality is no where near that, but it's better than any of my previous phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
I agree. Well mostly,

Some do look pretty bad, but that happens with any camera...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
Also, you must take into consideration that especially at night phone sensors are just too small to take "decent" night shots.... It's really a hardware vs size thing not so much a Android vs iPhone vs Blackberry Most suffer in the same way...

I'm really hoping ICS can get other cameras working well too such as the SGS2! That will make for a fun phone camera!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Yeh the speed is amazing.. if you like blurry pictures :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pierre118:
Is it possible that photo quality will improve with a future ICS update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cashyftw:
Lol definitely agree
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bedoig:
Shutter speed != auto-focus speed

It should go without saying, but you need to set your focus first. Then the fast shutter speed allows you to capture the exact moment you're looking for (or pretty close to it for a phone).

I love the camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pierre118:
Thanks! I think that will give better photo's.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Francois88:
The camera is pretty amazing. The zero shutter lag is AMAZING but I think some people are approaching this feature the wrong way, it's not zero-focus lag. If you want to take a good picture you have to let it focus for a second then just release and it'll take the picture instantly.

The only bad thing I have to say about the camera is for indoor photos with low-medium light. Even with the flash, pictures just come off with yellow tint and some grainy aspect to it. I tried different applications (Gallery app/Picnik/Picasa/Photoshop) to try color corrections but it's still not as good as you can get with better cameras.

I have found that that reducing the exposure makes the indoor shots look better color-wise but they look like a shot in the dark (obviously).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MysteriousDiary:
Loving the camera of the Galaxy Nexus. It looks like there is no automatic post processing to get a faster burst rate. Just giving the user the right tool to take a picture of the moment he wants to capture and let him do the post processing the way he likes to do it. I love this concept and the burst rate of 2 pictures per second is pretty awesome for a smartphone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flo7002:
I haven't had the chance to use the camera too much yet, but I think it's definitely not as good as the SGS2, but on the other hand, I got to try out the time lapse feature that's quite cool.

Check it out: http://youtu.be/DtGew8QrY48
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NIK516:
The camera is no good for indoor or night shots, way to grainy however for day light shots its fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
Yes :) I love it too!

I like how it can be real quick at snapping a photo... and be able to settle down to take some decent photos too.

Sure it might not be the BEST camera on a mobile phone, but it does a great job at making sure you can have a snap real quick!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
I am loving the smooth Panorama on it:

https://picasaweb.google.com/s.m.kn...authkey=Gv1sRgCIKHh5W3rKXBiAE&feat=directlink

That said I am still getting the hang of using the settings, tapping to focus, and such, but I am extremely happy with the camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
i think you all need to keep in mind, it's the ICS camera App doing the real magic, not the camera hardware itself ;)

and thanks to the dual core CPU, is what allows you the quick shot without the lag

same goes with the panorama, it has been available for a while in the SGS line of phones, but in ICS they just improved it

the same speed is on SGS2 with ICS loaded
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
Agreed, but pre-ICS the pano shots were always individual pics that were then stitched (often incorrectly) together. Even in third-party apps I used to try on my N1 two-years ago, it was very touchy to get a truly seamless image, and would look great until you zoomed in at a stitch.

In ICS it is very very much improved... It really does not seem to be stitching. I wonder if it is somehow transposing from a video of the pan to get that smooth of an image... The GN produces a better pano (in terms of continuity and smoothness) than my dedicated point-and-shoot...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 0utkast:
I heard it was hardware. Not sure unless someone with a Nexus S can confirm otherwise now that they have an official update to ICS

I'm Saying this because i have port ICS on SGS but maybe because it's a port that i still get shutter lag
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diomark:
I'm disappointed in the camera:( its fast, but quality just isn't there, especially when not outdoors.hate to say it, but my wife's iPhone 4s blows this out of the water when it comes to picture quality ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] billynotnice:
I think you hit the nail on the head. I have only taken a few outdoor photo's but they were all great, and without complaint. However every picture i've taken in doors have come out looking like a yellow grainy pile of crap. I am coming from a DROID-X. I have to admit i'm quite a bit let down because this camera doesn't compare in the quality department.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sarg92:
I am a huge fan of the camera. I would take the zero shutter lag over picture quality but yes the camera would be even better if the picture quality was slightly better.

Matias Duare has said that in his opinion a smartphone camera should “make memories [and] share moments with people.” and that having all these extra little settings and other high end features shouldn't be of importance and I agree with him. Just over this weekend I have been able to take some great pictures and share them with my family and I wouldn't be able to do this with any other phone, no matter how good the image quality would be, because the cameras would be just too slow to capture the shot I would need.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
Sunset I took in San Diego.

What I saw with my eyes was exactly what the camera took.

Never seen that happen before.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MysteriousDiary:
I'm loving it too :)

And I don't know what's going on with Google since weeks but it seems like much has changed and they do an awesome job now at many points.

Colby Brown, a popular and in G+ pretty well known Photographer, and the Google Android Photo Team are working together now to listen to the customers and especially photographer to make the camera app, gallery and such things just even more better. We should see much more by begin of next year and he also announced an update for next month which will improve the camera things again.

It's just a joy to see what they do at the moment and I'm so glad I picked the Nexus so I'll see the new things as soon as they get released :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TabsAZ:
I love the speed of it but I just wish they'd used a higher quality sensor like the GSII's.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thedimachka:
I find the camera absolutely amazing and am honestly shocked at how people are complaining about this camera. I never had a SGS2 but this camera makes the droidx camera look like absolute crap. The instant shutter speed is also amazing. Really really love this camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PoorCollegeGuy:
I have the Epic 4g Touch (Sprint sgsII), and I came in here to see if the camera is better/worse.

Still gotta give it to the sgsII camera...it's just so wonderful, but it's nice to see the galaxy nexus doesn't suck :) I know the 5mp camera was scaring some people.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frenccw:
There's this glaring bug(?) in Nexus S that makes the alarm/notification sounds come out of both the phone speakers and earphones. This was a deal breaker for because i frequently use the alarm on public transport with my earphones on - which prompted me to switch to CM7.

Does this still occur on the Galaxy Nexus with ICS?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
I also would like to know if it's possible to have alarm coming out of headphones only. Both with the Samsung Galaxy S and SII only play alarm through the speaker even if headphone is plugged in.

Also if that's the case with the Nexus, does anyone know of an alarm app that allow alarm playback through the headphone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AWildColin:
Bump. I'm having this problem on the Galaxy S2 and desperately need a fix. I use my phone as an alarm and keep oversleeping it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Screwedupsmitty:
As of right now the alarm comes out both. No settings to change it.

I am rooting my friends phone using the proper thread, following all the directions, did this on my previous Fascinate, however I get into download mode, but Odin does not recognize it and does nothing....?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
make sure you have the samsung drivers installed...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CC268:
Everything is installed including the drivers, its saying the device is not being recognized even though the drivers are on my computer..
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
are u using the stock usb cable? Maybe try a different one. Also might want to try a different computer. Another thing go into device manager and make sure the drivers are indeed installed for your device.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CC268:
Yes I am using the stock cable, and I have tried it on 3 different computers each one isn't working and a pop up comes up stating the usb device cannot be recognized or something close to that. Under disk drives on device manager it does show SAMSUNG HM500JJ but I dunno...this is weird maybe I just can't get this thing rooted..
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
I would try redownloading and installing the samsung drivers...try the drivers from section 1 of my guide in general section. If that still dont work then try another usb cable. The cables can be touchy with odin, especially if you coil it up all the time. Don;t ask me why, all I know is in the past 6mo this issue has been posted 50times or better. Usually its one of the things I mentioned causing the problem.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CC268:
Yea that is the driver I have been using and I have uninstalled it and installed it probably a good 5 times. I just dont understand why it would be the cable if I plug it in and its giving the message "The USB Device cannot be detected" or something along the lines of that. I will try the cable for my HTC Thunderbolt tomorrow and see if it works. If that doesn't work then it looks like the phone won't be getting rooted because I don't have anymore cables to try and I am running out of patience

It has to be the driver...my htc thunderbolt works perfect and is always recognized and adb works too and recognizes my device
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
try installing the google nexus driver and see if that works.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CC268:
I will try this tonight when I get over to my buddies apartment, thanks
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CC268:
I couldn't get it installed...the directions on actually getting the driver installed are not good...there are a lot of steps that I can't do on my computer such as go to manage in computer and then devices tab...there is no devices tab?!?!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
it wont automatically install...you have to click on the device in device manager and go to update driver, then manually push the google driver. After successful install it should say android device in DM.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CC268:
I couldn't find the device in device manager...I mean the computer isn't going to recognize it anyways if there isn't any drivers installed?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
If you have usb debugging turned on, usb cable plugged in, installed either the samsung driver or nexus driver and still get a "cant recognize device error" then either the usb port is bad on the phone or the cable is jacked. The problem is not the drivers...Lots of people use the drivers I suggested with no problems. I thinks its the usb cable personally because from what you describe, windows can tell something is plugged into the usb port, but cant tell what it is. Windows has to be able to recognize the device before you can install the drivers for it.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CC268:
Yea...hmm well I know its not the computers and certainly not my laptop as I never have any trouble with it...I have used several different cables though so it could be the phone...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
That could be...try cleaning the usb port on the phone...power of device, pull battery, then put some contact cleaner on a q-tip. If still nothing, then a replacement might be in order.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CC268:
I will try these steps...I mean windows is recognizing that something is plugged into the computer so I dont know if its really a phone issue still seems like its more of a driver issue...but I dunno I wish I could find the old adb way of rooting the fascinate...it was way more problem free...anyways I dont know when I will have time to try this on my friends phone again it may not be for another month but I will try again at some point

As much as it is a nice feature to have and feels good in hand when browsing, it is limited to the default browser and I just never use the default browser on any device. I always end up switch over to Opera Mobile for a superior browsing experience .. in my opinion anyway.
