Thanks! I've done quite a bit of photography with DSLRs but never wanted to spend the money on my own, and phone cameras have always bothered me with lack of control. I'm excited to use a phone camera that gives me more manual control, can't wait to get mine!
[One (M7) General] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
Not really good shots just wanted to compare photo taking with my iPhone 4 to my One. I used snapseed auto enhance for the enhanced versions.

[One (M7) General] skwieradee:
Im not very happy with my pictures :( especially zoomed car.... is this normal thst when I tap to focus picture gets much brighter? It can be seen on Last two pictures
[One (M7) General] Raintitan:
It took me a day to understand the ZOE but it is the perfect tool for grabbing a perfectly timed shot. Great pic!
[One (M7) General] Raintitan:
Here are a few more pics taken today.

Overall I still think it is the best overall camera, however it does take some work to get the best shots. For quick point and shoot, it is average but for closeups and complex lighting it is a knockout.

The cat picture below was taken from a very low light ZOE. It has noise, but wouldn't be possible with another phone as far as I know.

The tone from my iPhone 5 was almost always better with a quick shot but any edits blew out details where the One maintains all of the range which means of course there is quite a bit of grey range. You can remove that with contrast edits, but you can never get it back if you didn't have it to begin with - this is the approach of the One.

As far as the phone goes - wow. Unbelievable and awesome.
[One (M7) General] skwieradee:
Any comments about my pictures two posts above? Default settings, sharpness -2, sunny day, shouldnt they be a bit better looking?

[One (M7) General] rovex:
Im finding that the 1.29.401.12 firmware im running is much better than the launch firmware. Macros are very good, night shots much better, and daylight shots are no longer blurry and overexposed. In the regular modes its just not a point and shoot camera, it needs setting up and planning to get a great shot, or even an acceptable one.

Zoe is a big step towards fixing this I find. Its not terribly convenient but it seems to work most of the time. I intend to use it at the Thruxton BTCC race weekend in early May. I suspect this is where Zoe mode will really work well.
[One (M7) General] jamiee6610:
How did you get that effect?
[One (M7) General] voltron2k11:

very fast shutter indeed:D
[One (M7) General] skwieradee:
I played a bit with macro today, im quite happy with quality of this picture but have concern about focus. Shouldnt camera be able to focus on the end of the key? picture was taken from about 5-7 cm from end of the key. Tbh I didnt notice much difference between normal and macro when focusing.
[One (M7) General] EnIXmA:
Random pics taken today
[One (M7) General] townay:
ONE X wasnt especially known for its macro distance and I suspect that(I dont have mine yet, still waiting) ONE too, does not have a macro distance that makes you go wow.

ONE S on the other hand, has better macro distance than ONE X.
[One (M7) General] Silellak:
Am I the only one that feels like the One is teaching them to a better photographer? For example, the amount of light being collected by the sensor means I suddenly have to care about overexposing a picture, as it's much easier to do with this camera than it has been for my other smartphone cameras.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but I think it's an interesting phenomena.

More shots taken yesterday, all of them touched up a little bit but I like having control over that where other phones remove the grey and bump the contrast.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
excellent! so sharpness -2 plus photoshop? :)

actually your photos prove HTC should deal with this from their end, im sure users will be more happy with results like yours straight from the camera

out of box the camera isn't tweaked for best looking contrast

can someone try contrast +1 with exposure -1?
[One (M7) General] pau11y:
what are you using to touch up?
[One (M7) General] Raintitan:
I shoot with the camera as is using macros, normal, or Zoe.

Then I use Snapseed or Perfectly Clear although the former is mostly used. These are apps.

You have to take a picture with good balance that may seem a little dark or grey that strip it away some with say auto enhance in either of those except I dial the auto back to be less mild. The purple flower shot has almost no editing.

Good shots are possible off the lens but better ones need the tweaks. More so than iPhone but more is possible with the One.

SGS3 v HTC One.

Taken on different days, but in identical conditions, namely artificial light.

First is SGS3. Seems to have a slightly beige colour cast, not all that sharp, but detail is there.

Second HTC One. Colours are a bit over blown, contrast it too high, but sharpness and detail are on another level.

Third is corrected HTC picture. Less contrast brings out the natural colours more.
[One (M7) General] w3thax:
Here some pictures with the 1.29 firmware. There was only articial? (don't know in english) light for the keyboard, amazon package and world map and absolutely no light for the picture outside.
[One (M7) General] rovex:
A variety of modes..

First is just auto, normal mode, no flash.

Second is night mode

Third is HDR mode, no flash.

All are decent given the very orange street lights. Focus is off, but the fact that it shows as much as it does it impressive.

[One (M7) General] Silellak:
1.26.502.10 - the stock AT&T firmware.

They probably are; I didn't tweak contrast or anything, just point and shot. I'm sure I could do better if I tried, but I was in a hurry.
[One (M7) General] john291:
I wish i saw this pictures with the latest firmware also..
[One (M7) General] Raintitan:
A few pictures I took tonight, not many phones could grab these low or mixed lighting shots.

The camera is great now that I understand it. You have to play with exposure and focal points (touch the screen!) to get the right mix of lighting and then clean it up.

[One (M7) General] hamdir:
we have a pureview level of camera goodness on a HTC phone with a massively faster shutter speed (which was a severe problem on pureview) for some reason all reviewer are missing how important it is to have such a fast shutter

believe me guys if this camera was on a samsung or an apple, it would have been declared the god of cameras already

sadly for HTC, being the underdog with no rivers of money, they always have to fight harder
[One (M7) General] go0gle:
The HTC One will be compared to all sorts of cameras by a lot of people, so in a month or two we will have a pretty good idea on where it stands. I am planning on getting one myself, so I will be able to test it against my iPhone 5 and my 808.

here is another one: http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/features/item/17052_Still_photography_challenge-HT.php

Obviously you and I are getting very different results, and have different expectations :) Now, you mentioned the xenon..and that to me is probably one of the most useful features of that camera pack.

Here is a pic with my iphone 5's LED: http://www.esato.com/phonephotos/cam/apple/iphone_5/201212260531DHr10J.jpg

and here is one with my xenon phone: http://www.esato.com/phonephotos/cam/nokia/808_pureview/201212260531Lx1Io2.jpg

that is the whole point of having a xenon flash..
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
HTC can absolutely dominate the market if they marketed it towards families especially. One of the main reason I'm so excited about this phone is that (thanks to both fast shutter and Zoe) I should be able to catch my 2 year old daughter in some really nice shots.....There's literally no way to get her to stay still!!
[One (M7) General] slannmage:
The Galaxy S4 has the same cam as the Sony Xperia Z if these Chinese leaks are to be believed.
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
It wont have the Exmor RS Sensor surely??
[One (M7) General] fidelcstrl:
Can someone post the same picture, with sharpness set to 0 and then to -2 so we can see the difference ?

Thanks :)

What they're saying

http://mobile.it168.com/a2013/0313/1461/000001461394_8.shtml

You can translate it if you use Chrome.

That is if these leaks are to be believed, we'll see soon enough.
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
I can't see that happening......I'd assume Samsung if anything to deliver some new camera tech of their own making....But I guess we'll soon see!
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
this keeps getting better lol

lets see if reviewers will be honest about this (like they did with the xperia Z)
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
Can you see it though? I'm sure there's probably terms and contracts in place with the differing companies to keep others from using the same technology on rival devices....The only people I've seen with the same sensor before were Sony and Asus and my assumption then was that Sony wouldn't have had a problem with the Padfone using the same hardware as currently it's still not a competitor to Sony.....Can't see Sony being OK with Samsung using the same though......But I could be wrong!
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
no i think Sony has no issues with this

they sell their components to all vendors

I honestly have a secret wish of Sony and HTC merging actually (smartphones business ofcourse)

HTC seems to me the good guys in smartphone world, just like Sony is in the gaming world
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
Haha! That could bring some interesting results I'm sure!

HTC could do with a bigger marketing budget to play with as well......though one of the reasons I really like HTC is that they aren't as mainstream as others but don't seem to mind at all!! They're also not scared to venture outside the box, which is extremely refreshing, and as a conceptual designer myself it appeals to me a hell of a lot more then just producing something you know will sell for moneys sake.....I'm a firm believer that if you're willing to take risks the reward if you get it right far outweighs the rewards on a safe bet!!

and shhhh don't tell anyone but I think HTC might have just done it this time! (as long as the production issues aren't too severe of course!)
[One (M7) General] slannmage:
Well the HTC one has good low light shots but it looks to me like it's the worst camera for full resolution shots, just so noisy. It's reported that the GS4 has the image stalisation too, though at this point I don't know if it's all software based or if these phones actually have hardware inside them for it. So really it's a choice of if you want sharper pictures with less noise or better pictures in low light. Though that Chinese site said the lens has really good low light pictures which surprised them.

The only fault they put on the phone was it's plastic throughout, which to me isn't a problem as I'm from the UK so plastic is better.due to the cold. However some people hate the plastic. None of it is confirmed though, but considering it is likely to use a 13mp camera and these leaks are too good to be fake, I'm pretty sure this is what we'll see.

Though the site did say the GS4 we're seeing are chinese prototypes, so it could be something totally different. I'm really doubtful to see the Exynos 5 in the GS4 with those A15 chips :\

yea its the main reason to buy it as far as im concerned

real photographic power and excellent video/audio recording
[One (M7) General] rovex:
I think its good considering the low light. Its still only a phone camera, it cant do perfect motion shots in low light, it can do them in the day light though.
[One (M7) General] veeny101:
so the 4 mp camera is better than 13 mp?
[One (M7) General] john291:
Hello no its not better...

But in some ways it can compete with the 13mp camera....

So its a good camera but not better...
[One (M7) General] veeny101:

[One (M7) General] The-Last-Hylian:

he basically inspected every picture posted by the One, he was the most worried about the camera as well :)
[One (M7) General] john291:
Thx your absolutly right sir...;)
[One (M7) General] Bathyon:
Define "better". It has a lower resolution so you can't zoom as much or print as big as you can with 13 mp. On the other hand it is very good in low light, captures fast blur free pics better than any other phone cam. It depends on in what situations you use your camera in mainly and what you use the images for (print, facebook, instagram etc).
[One (M7) General] veeny101:
Ok thanks. It's still not available in my country. But they say will be 4 weeks from now. So excited!

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

Im more of a instagram guy. And I'm so attached to HTC all of my phones are HTC except for the Iphone 4s. But seeing the 4 mega pixel I was like WTF!? Then I read the reviews and like oh ok. Gonna buy this baby once its out.
[One (M7) General] Bathyon:
For example 3 mp is about 2048×1536 pixels in size. This means higher resolution than most full size monitors and tvs. 4 MP should therefore be more than enough for instagram usage and normal print sizes. Higher megapixels only count if you want to crop much, print big photos or use digital zoom.

The reson for only 4 mp is so they can capture more light and keep shutter speeds higher. This means better low light images indoors or att parties and less risk of blur. I think this phone is the ultimate InstaPhone ;).

Other use cases might lead to another conclusion as always.
[One (M7) General] Raintitan:
Also, the lower 4 megapixels count allows for a Zoe shot to grab a bunch of full quality frames over three seconds. Going through the frames and picking the best shot is very powerful. So many things happen that you don't even catch with your eye. Look at some of the animal or kid pictures.

Some folks over at androidpit did a comparison with 1.28 and 1.29 firmware. First one is automatic mode, second is set to ISO 100.

I find the improvements to be really drastic.
[One (M7) General] winwiz:
Just looked through some of the photos and I can't say I am overly impressed.

The Galaxy S4 looks so much sharper and crisp.
[One (M7) General] Bathyon:
Yes indeed. This makes all the reviews even more hard to interpret since the difference in software is so big. The jump from 1.26 to 1.28 did a lot also for the quality and sharpness. Would be interesting to see a comparison between 1.26 and 1.29.

And is yet worse than the iPhone 5.
