4.4.3 update

Motorola claims to have improved the camera in the 4.4.3 update.

Can anyone please check out if the picture quality has really improved?
[Moto X General] XAlexander_AlexanderX:
It has. The front face camera is amazing and the flash is much better. Its not as blurry in low light anymore.
[Moto X General] IrvChynaman:

Thanks for your replies about the camera update.

So, after the update, is the Moto X camera at par with the competition.. I mean the likes of Nexus 5 or S4 etc?

I'm sure if I had a lg g3 the moto x camera would feel like crap. But since I don't I personally think it's a pretty good camera for a phone. These pics are from Long Beach NY

[Moto X General] jakkzen:
Those are pretty good shots with your moto x. I think the HDR helps when taking outdoor pics.
[Moto X General] mawells787:
It makes a huge difference. Unfortunately you can only do it for still shots. But it captures a lot more light and better color accuracy.

[Moto X General] devilsdouble:
The HDR mode is only good as long as landscapes are being shot, or there is no need to focus on the subject, awful auto exposure by the way from the stock camera app, terribly awful.

Just shooting random stuffs in our garden, today is the first time I actually shot something intending to test the capability of the camera, and I must say I am depressed. And I stick with my opinion that this camera is better off at night times rather than day.

i tend to disagree. HDR shots don't have to be limited to landscape (still) photos. it all depends on your lighting (as with any camera). while HDR is not meant to shoot action photos, every one of the photos i posted above were HDR.

It can't be called "significant" from any extent. Yes, it's improved, especially the colour accuracy in photos, but that's more or less it, other than the overly bright flash LED introduction.

MOTO X:

I like this one because it shows how quick the camera captures the photo.

Xperia SP

I personally prefer Xperia SP photos; however, HDR on the SP makes the pictures look bad at times. The Moto X is great too, but the color saturation kills it for me. I'm not a pro or anything, but I personally recommend using HDR on the X, as it helps a lot to get better looking pictures.

And here's my S4 on a much clearer, and better natural lighted day:

---------- Post added at 01:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 AM ----------

With that being said, I don't think you guys are giving the camera a fair chance. Yes, it's bad. Bad meaning that it's not up to par with the latest gen of phones & cameras (iPhone 5, Galaxy S 4, HTC One). But, I feel like all of the cameras mentioned before lack things. The S4 has a terrible crop and really "zoomed in" angle, which is due to the ridiculous 13MP sensor. And the One of course takes great shots but only at 4MP and oversharpens the photos.

The X is fine and serviceable, and only future software updates will come to try and improve. By no means should the camera be a dealbreaker, I love the device.

[Moto X General] CJBullitt:
photo looks great and I played with one in AT&T yesterday and let me tell you it's better then my current iPhone 4 that I am upgrading from. Like you said they future updates to the camera could help some of the issues people have with it but from what I seen through all that I have read on the net, it's better than the Nexus 4's camera.

[Moto X General] ghatothkach:
Raw image ?

Is there a way to get the RAW image/sensor data on the moto-x, or other phones...

if we could do that we can isolate if its a sensor problem or android problem.

I pressume the sensor driver would also have a role to play...

I am waiting for the moto-x dev edition, as I wanted the better battery life, too bad if the picture quality is worse than my G-S2...

[Moto X General] shea-bird:
That is not true at all. The pixels on the One let in more light, thus allowing for quicker shutter speeds and better low light pics. The resolution is the resolution. It is very evident in pic comparisons. There is far less detail in the One's photos when compared to higher MP shooters
[Moto X General] knokfirst:
Correct, 4 Mega pixels = 4 million pixels, so 4MP wont equal the same size/detail as a 10MP. The quality per pixels might be better, but the amount of detail wont be as high.
[Moto X General] @work:
OK maybe its not a moto x exactly, but the droid ultra forum is boring.

The pictures seem so noisy to me.
[Moto X General] shahrukhraza:

[Moto X General] mk1151:
I have a whole thread of detailed camera review/info and tons of samples for the moto X here:

https://forums.motorola.com/posts/7b64392ccf

Also, keep in mind I am coming from a Lumia.

I too have seen the purple cast, however it is not in every shot. My biggest aggravation is that I cannot adjust EV, ISO, and Scene, but IMO the hardware is relatively good.

Most importantly, it's relatively good bordering on excellent for the form factor and battery life. When I used my Lumia camera my battery would drain fast. I had my camera on most of the day with my X and still got 14 hours out of it before I hit 25%.
[Moto X General] herzzreh:
Um... Obviously 10mp will have more detail when fully zoomed in. When you view a 10mp pic at full zoom, it's equivalent of viewing a 10'x10' foot print (figuratively speaking) with your nose up to it. A 4mp pic can't be printed that big. I bet you that if you compare a 4mp pic and 10mp pic at 4mp max useable size, there will be little, if no, difference.

To me, even back to my V710, Moto's cameras have always been not as good as those from other phone makers... like pix taken with my 2MP V9M's camera didn't even come close to those taken with the 2MP camera in my Samsung U620 or LG enV. My Original Droid, Droid X, and Bionic didn't compre to my BB's, HTC's or Samsungs.

This thread so far seems to continue that trend.

But how do pix taken with the Moto X compare to say the Bionic, Droid X, or other Moto android phones? (when viewing on PC or printing)
[Moto X General] oxeneers:
Just adding another photo to the thread. For those of you writing off the camera as "****", maybe you should take a look at the source. A lot of people here are casually adding photos that they have posted right off the camera - that's all fine and dandy, but what about those of us that take photos a bit more carefully, and add some proper contrast/color reproduction editing afterwards?

With that being said, here's my photo that has merely been altered in Pixlr Express with "Auto Fix" and some contrast/brightness tweaks.

[Moto X General] Ivan Fuentes Hagar:
Well, yeah... but there's no denying that, under the same circumstances, my N4's camera behaved MUCH better. And to think that when I first received the Nexus, I was also disappointed at the camera... now I got an even worse one. To be honest, this is the one weak spot I found on this phone. This camera really sucks. Yes, find an angle and proper lighting, you'll get a nice pic... but I can do that with my QVGA webcam, too.

Pleasantly surprised how well this thing does with recording concert-level audio.

Was at a concert this weekend and recorded a couple videos just to see how it handled the audio (since most cameras and phones get blown out by loud audio). I don't really like being "that guy" holding up the active screen for entire songs either...but the sound was so good that I wished I had recorded more. The video sucks (as would any video shot handheld from a distance in the dark), but I should have just left the phone in my chest pocket and recorded the whole show.
