[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mms6:
*****UPDATE: January 12th, 2013

I have re-uploaded a few sample photos from last July/August of 2012 taken under STOCK Ice Cream Sandwich on Samsung Galaxy S3 i747m

I could not find many of the original photos on my phone SD card since my old SD card was corrupted. Also because of this, the re-uploaded photos are not in the original size, so preview size only.

================================

Cropped and slight color/saturation change on the phone, and because of that, the EXIF for all my sample images were stripped...

No tripod was used, but I tried to be as steady as my noodle arms allowed me to... (*Note: Anti-Shake is Turned ON)

CLICK THUMBNAILS FOR FULL RESOLUTION...

UPDATED:

These are unedited photos, straight from the phone from walking in park today:

NIGHT Sample and Lower Light Samples (LED FLASH is turned OFF, and auto exposure):

ISO1600

ISO500

COMMENTARY:

The camera is not too shabby, definitely an improvement if you are upgrading from a Samsung Galaxy S1, but not too much from a S2..

Large aperture does show a little bit of DOF due to tiny sensor, but not a lot, unless you do software edits. DOF will be better if taking macro shots with macro mode..

Performance in the dark is not too bad, but still suffers from A LOT of noise at iso1600. Using this thing at night time is probably not recommended especially out in the open where the LED flash is useless. Using during sunset and early evening, the GS3 i747m performs fine.

For some reason, all the sky during the daytime seems to be overexposed... (UPDATE: All BLUE colors are not very saturated and bright blue colored sources tends to be over exposed...) I suppose this is software.. Software editing or future update or custom ROM can probably fix this..

Auto focusing is not the fastest in the world, but gets the job done (well only in nicely lit areas lol)

Clarity of the optics seems alright, but not the sharpest I've seen on mobile devices...

The viewfinder On-Screen seems to be the best ones on mobile phones right now... The speed and smoothness of the camera panning is shown on the screen. There is VERY LITTLE SCREEN to SENSOR lag on this device.... This is a key to make the Galaxy S3 i747m's camera a winner... Hopefully more mobile manufacturers can incorporate this...

Update:

Nightshots without LED flash, autofocus is broken, and the focus is completely messed up.. Touch to focus, it is hard to get the green box on the focus.. If you do get the green box, the focus is broken... I tried to touch to focus at night, it says green and focused, but the viewfinder is a blur...

Shots from low light is nothing to write home about.. At iso1600, the pictures are very grainy, and without the correct autofocus, the shots are almost unusable on a standard computer monitor or even 4x5" prints..

Indoors with a single 40W light source seems to perform better. At iso500, the door picture seems to retain most of the details, with a bit of grain..

In the second indoor shot, there is a single table lamp in a dark study room... The auto iso at iso 80, most of the 2B pencil marks are visible at full resolution (click on thumbnail), and even the objects in the shadow or with darker colors, the noise remains at minimum.. At about this light for indoors, the camera performs pretty decent.
