[One (M8) General] Shan89:
Completelly agreed from my own experience.

@ All those complaining about m8 camera

You all say G2 / z1 are better shooters ... and they might be , you can see my comparison vs Z1 ( apperently the best android camera )

What is pure FACT is that m8 improved vs m7 with camera , now put m8 camera in my hands and i'll do even more WONDERS then i did with m7 that you can see in bellow QUOTE from my original post.

So many of you say m8 camera is MID RANGE camera ... that could be truth in wrong hands but z1 should be BEST ANDROID camera if we follow the logic of more mpx = better or completelly trust the reviews ... so here come the test.

So here some shots i've done with my cousins who actually have Z1 ( the z1 as Sony z1 which destroyes every android like for instance g2 )

So in this test z1 was used by my cousin ALL MANUALLY while i used my M7 completely AUTO or HDR nothing else (

keep in mind i take much better shots with manual :)

)

The day was cloudy.

In this photo Z1 is clearly lacking brightness and lack of sharpness vs M7 the colors as well are not accurate.

No need to say anything it's clear whos the winner :)

Colors are again off on z1 ( check the roof it's too red then it is ) and the pic is too dark again.

Colors are again off on z1 ( the fence the path ) + it lacks sharpness again vs HTC One.

The colors are again off on z1 ( the ground is red wtf .. ) The sharpness sux again.

The colors are WAYYY off on z1 , the tree is NOT RED , and the sharpness is utter **** vs M7

The colors are again a bit off on z1 and sharpness is still **** + it's too dark.

The colors are again way off on z1 , the wall IS NOT RED ... the detail lack , take a look at the wall where it cracked it sux vs m7.

Colors are WAYYYY off again , everything is just red on z1 + it's dark + the sharpness is weak vs M7.

The z1 pic is again all red , it's blurry , it lack details and way off with the colors , it can't tell apart what is what in here it's all just reddish...

This is the first Z1 pic that is decent , but then again it's a bit off with colors and sharpness is no match for M7.

Now here few MANUAL shots of mine vs Z1 ( taken few days ago ) just to show you the power of MANUAL on HTC ONE

Z1

HTC ONE

So as i mentioned Z1 was used FULLY MANUAL and for each pic it took my cousins 1-2 mins to take it + they both took 3-4 pics of each scene in total of 7-8 photos while i took 1 pic every time MAYBE 2 when used HDR just to compare and took me 2-3 sec to take each pic.

Great usability with Z1 + it's **** vs me ANYWAY ...

Now since i've slaughtered Z1 ( apparently the best android camera phone according to reviews ) what chance does g2/n5 have LOL :)

Now here the FEW shots ONLY HTC can do.

These are the shots Z1 or G2 or n5 will NEVER BE ABLE to make , period.

So I've just showed you pics from apperently best android camera Z1 being slaughtered so easily just by using AUTO , there are none LOW LIGHT / FLASHLIGHT photos from me vs Z1 since my cousins DIDN'T want to do it since there was no point doing so , they don't stand a chance , what is funny they didn't even in DAYLIGHT where is M7 apperently bad...

I stand with [MENTION=1144067]hamdir[/MENTION] here , i do agree 4upx isn't enough and should be 6 or so , but in overall the camera is most usable camera and can be used IN ANY POSSIBLE SCENE you can think off while OTHERS will FAIL even if they beat M7 in some scene ,lets say landscape they'll get slaughtered in every single scene regarding low light but we will be decent in landscape , if we take landscape which requires HDR none will match M7.

Keep in mind THESE Shots and test vs Z1 was done with HTC ONE m7 , m8 definetely has improved over m7 :)

And.... here a little TRICK / Guide for m8 users since m7 / m8 cameras can lock the focus / exposure etc ( AE/ AF lock )

This is how to make pretty much perfect photos with landscapes / hdr and so on.

I'll post 3 pics with different settings , 1st is with AUTO , 2nd is with HDR and 3rd is with AE/AF locked + HDR ( make sure to lock the focus somewhere in between the most lighting spot and dark ( to look like with AUTO mode ) then switch to HDR and take a pic :)

Again keep in mind these are from HTC One m7 not m8 just sharing what we've learned with m7.

Lastly i've showed you how good m7 camera is vs top android cameras like Z1 in my hands , the m8 camera is better and has better interface + like [MENTION=1144067]hamdir[/MENTION] said you can make custom settings which will help even more.

Last year m7 camera was spit on by literally every review like it's being spit on now for m8 ... i've just proven the m7 camera is great and once again m8 camera is even better ... so forget what someone tells you test the damn thing YOURSELF don't let anyone tell you what is better , use it and see for yourself. I personally don't even care for the camera , but if someone like me who doesn't give a **** for camera can do these kind of shots imagine what kind of shots can do those who actually care and know to use cameras :)
