I realized how lucky I was today after getting online for the first time in days and seeing some of the real damage. I have power back, and no real damage or flooding to my house. Millions of people are still without power, and won't have it back until sometime next week. Some folks have considerable damage and have lost everything due to fallen trees or flooding. And I'm not talking about the wealthy areas either.

This isn't a pissing contest. You expect damage like that in LA. You're on top of a fault line for pete's sake. You don't expect it in NY or NJ. The entire shore is gone, and forget about the Jersey Shore of recent years, and what you know of it from tv. The shore was a beautiful place years ago, with no guidos in sight, where you could spend a Saturday night on the rides and grab a slice, or some of the best fries ever. Ride the coaster with your girl and maybe make out a little under the boardwalk. All of that is gone now. They'll rebuild but it won't be the same. Again though, not a pissing contest - this isn't a scenario where anyone has the right to say they have it so much worse than anyone else.

Edit - don't mean to start any drama in the thread, but I felt your post was in poor taste. Sorry.

Camera Settings to get good pics?

I tried searching the thread, but I was hoping some of you with such good looking pics wouldn't mind posting what settings you guys are using. I'm fairly new to the phone and I can't seem to take any decent pics, they all come out grainy/noisy or blurry. Looking over the pics posted in this thread I'm convinced I am clearly doing something wrong just not sure what :confused:

Hey guys what do you have your camera settings at? I turned the saturation down to -1 as advice by others, but I l feel like my camera isn't that amazing maybe there is a problem with mine like some others have said. I personally think my old epic touch took better pictures than this one. It just looks like there isn't enough color and kinda washed out
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] coffeehandle:
Well there is a ling argument of camera quality on those 2 phones. But the evo if anything over saturates. I have it minus 1 in settings. Indoors I have exposure +2

Being a published nature / wilflife photog I think I have extracted the best I can from the images this camera produces while experimenting this weekend.

Overall, I am disappointed.

Even at ISO 200, they are noisier than the ET4G I had. WB is not as good. Dynamic range is about the same.

Sharpness definitely seems to be lacking and even if I process them in Photoshop, they don't hold up to sharpening much at all.

I am beginning to wonder if my camera and some other folks aren't functioning correctly but I will have to wait until a few friends have it so I can compare.

The camera everyone raved about in reviews does not exist in my phone and that is one of the four main reasons I did this rather than waiting for the SGIII.

Fortunately I have 6o days at BB to exchange it or return it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] creepdogg:
I too am dissapointed so far with the camera, my ET4G took better photos, I rarely had focus issues, even without a dedicated camera button, my father in law has a new evo as well, I will be testing both cameras side by side to see if there are some build issues?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoldenGlove:
I want to see some side by side comparisons from this phone and the GS3 and the other good cams in the current phones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] coffeehandle:
Looks pretty good to me
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] limeaid:
I agree with this 100%--I have been disappointed as well. I don't think your camera is functioning incorrectly, unfortunately, as many others (and reviewers) have reported the exact same issues. I love this phone but can't live with downgrading my camera. I may stick with my ET4G until the GS3 comes out, though I was really hoping to use the Evo until then

If I see someone use this argument one more time, I'm seriously going to lose my sh*t. NO IT'S NOT JUST A PHONE. It's a freaking convergent device that can access the internet, play movies and audio, and take pictures and do so much more. Technology has progressed to the point where a "phone" can and should be able to take pictures that rival at least an average point and shoot cameras. Many phones do this (most notably the iPhone, the Samsung Galaxy S2 series, and many Nokia phones). HTC failed in this regard, especially after hyping the phone as a "DSLR replacement"

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] devgrp:
I swear some of you guys complaining about the camera are idiots. At the end of the day its still a phone, and no camera phone is gonna replace a dedicated cam, even a point and shoot.

Think about it. You have a small thin phone with a tiny sensor producing 8 mega pixel image. Even some of the bigger dslrs suffer from this. You will get noise and some artifacts when shooting in low light conditions. And leaving the camera on A will not help much. Some of you guys are probably the same ones who run out and buy a DSLR, leave on A and then complain when the pictures come out looking like crap.

If any of you guy know anything about photography, you will understand that if the subject is well lit, you will get nice pictures. I'm a semi-pro photographer. I shoot with a 7D and a 40D as my backup. Although the 7D is top notch, my 40D can still hang, especially when I'm using my alien bees studio flash and a good lens.

Here are a few shots from the EVO LTE. These are straight from the camera.

Now stop whining a go learn to use the damn camera. Remember, A bad workman blames his tools.

STOP the name calling and bickering. If you continue this foolishness I will infract you.

Yes, this phone has a nice camera.

Yes, other stuff is better, and worse.

No, you do not NEED to get your point across.

This thread is NOT a debate about the picture quality, it's called "Let's See Some Pictures"... So, post pictures, be nice, and carry on.

Camera Discussion

This thread is a place for photography enthusiasts and professionals to talk about the EVO LTE camera in a mature manner. A moderator has decided this discussion isn't appropriate in the "lets see some pictures" thread, so this will be the place to do it.

If you are of the opinion that the quality of the camera is unimportant, good on ya. Some of us, however, don't share that opinion, therefore this thread isn't for you. Feel free to talk about the things you find important in one of the many other threads in this excellent forum.

To get things rolling, here'a an hdr and an "auto" pic I took in downtown San Diego:

Personally I'm a fan of HDR in general, but I prefer it used discretely,the way Photoshop handles HDR, compared to say, Photomatix. I think the HDR feature is nice, but would prefer it a little less heavy handed, or at least with an option to adjust the tone mapping.

I've also had issues getting the focus to adjust correctly in macro type shots. I tap on the object in the foreground, but the lens often immediately switches to focusing on the background. This can be rather frustrating.

---------- Post added at 01:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------

I agree with you on the HDR with the phone. It's almost like it kicks up colors and contrast to near max and over-exaggerates the colors in the pictures a bit. Especially the color red. For the time being, I am just going avoid the HDR setting on the phone and just use landscape or whatever suits my needs. Still, this phone has an amazing camera built into it at 8MP and over time, with software updates and such, we should see some improvements and mods to get the most out of this beast.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Nice nice
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] makisupa79:
Yeah, probably will. I have radiohead tickets for 6/6 and as long as the phone gets released in stores before then I will do just that. Figured I would ask anyway since this is a picture thread.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Yeah I understand
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cfbauer:
Im a recent webOS convert and don't have a ton of Android experience. Is there a precedent for software mods or official updates fixing these types of issues with the camera?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sn0b0ard:
From my experience with HTC Android phones, yes there are updates that are going to be released that will at least fix some (hopefully all) of the problems we are experiencing. For example, I can't get the manual focus to work at all. If that's not a user error on my end, I'm pretty sure that's a software bug that can be fixed. After launch, Sprint and HTC usually release an update fairly quickly (within a few weeks to a month) to address critical issues and update software on the phone. After that, I would expect updates to roll out every couple of months or so. There will most likely be custom ROMs or .zip files we can flash to our phones that give extra abilities with the camera as well. I know with the EVO 3D, there were some mods and ROMs that you could flash to enable a higher resolution front camera and also enable HTC Amaze Camera software for all cameras on the phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] coffeehandle:
Not in macro. I don't believe so

Camera problems.

I haven't seen or taken a shot that's worth a darn ! I'm really into photography so I know what I'm talking about. My old EVO is 100 times better. This thing takes soft photos period. I've jacked up the sharpness & a Very minor improvement. Colors are flat that is to say photos don't pop. There aren't really any individual adjustments for color. I really miss my Evo 4G's camera. I know HTC can fix this thru software tweaks. Although I don't know about focus.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cfbauer:
What process are you using for those? They do seem very soft focus.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] unknown1205:
everything is set on default. so i guess automatic.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kidromulous:
I would like to know what camera settings you guys use. I know nothing about photography but this phone has inspired me to learn. I'm happy this thread was made.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sn0b0ard:
When I take auto shots I will usually increase sharpness by about +1, ISO level depends on how much lighting you have and how still you can hold the camera. If you can be really still and you have good lighting, ISO100 will give you fantastic, sharp pictures, but if you have trouble with low light and your hands moving the camera around too much, you may have to set a higher ISO to compensate. Turn off the autoburst on the camera. For me, I tend to take better pictures with it off. Also, the turning on the grid helps as well. The autofocus on the camera is the only focus that works (apparently), so we have to wait until a fix is available to get manual focus (1st click of camera button) to work properly.

Edit: Nice picture btw :) For taking pictures like you posted, you may want to experiment with the macro (close up) setting on the phone (it's the A icon in bottom left corner).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kidromulous:

Use TI to make the backups, copy the backup folder to the new phone (its super easy if they both have microSD),then reinstall TI and restore apps. Be careful with system apps as they probably will not work on the new phone unless it is the same model.
