HTC One M8 - Camera lens coating tests

HTC One M8 lens coating tests
[One (M8) General] iggdawg:
Fantastic analysis as always. Thank you very much for doing this. I was kicking myself for not taking some comparison shots before removing my coating. It was bad enough that it was causing significant blurring. Taking the coating off got rid of the blurring, but I missed out on my opportunity to see how it affected lighting/glare. Glad to have this comparison available!
[One (M8) General] th3:
Did you manually focus in the same spot and ae/af lock, with both phones?

The default looks to be focusing on the right bottom set of bulbs, and its a clearer shot than the one without coating. Why?

Top man for the analysis.

Does anyone know why m8 lacks 1080p 60fps recording? Every phone with snapdragon 800 has it. Even 1080p 30fps seems laggy.
[One (M8) General] Shan89:
Yeah i was crying cuz i expected the camera to be 5/6UPX and new sensor , i also was pissed off at battery size but appear like HTC was right about battery being 40% better and i've seen in battery thread ppl are easily pushing 6-7:30 SOT which is indeed 40% vs m7. Anyway overall i'm satisfied with the camera on m8. It can get only better with future updates same as how m7 got better :)

Lack of ois ****s up the frame rate when moving as for 60FPS i guess they find it useless same as 4k , i agree about 4k part since 1min is about 500mb so it's pretty much useless unless we have terabytes of storage which we don't :P But 60 fps FHD is quiet unclear to all of us >.>

Anyway personally regarding videos i don't really care i usually use ZoE and that's enough for me , especially now that we can record as long as we want.

As far as quality video recording goes .... something like nearly dslr level all smartphones fail except Z2 IMO but yes the z2 video takes over 500-700mb per minute :P ( 4k of course )
[One (M8) General] puremind:
The more I see this thread, the more I love the M8. Testers are so bashful when it Comes to the camera, but the One can Focus so fast that Pictures have that pristine touch. S4 did blur things for me, hard time focussing.

The camera experience on the one is like Boomsound. Clear and snazzy. Everything is fast in the phone. That's the Kind of Smartphone experience I want. Honnestly after using the One it is hard to go back to a regular device with a slow camera.
[One (M8) General] kokocabana:
I don't have the m8, but Anandtech's review mentions that it does. I've read a bunch of reviews and almost no one mentions anything about the video recording.

"Since the rear facing camera only has a 4MP sensor resolution, there’s no support for 4K video recording - the maximum supported video resolution is 1080p. The available video modes are: 1080p30 (20Mbps High Profile H.264), 1080p60 (also 20Mbps High Profile), slow motion (720p) pand HDR video."

[One (M8) General] Raintitan:
At the end of the day, this camera is a mixed bag. It does some things better than any other and other things come up short.

Almost never is the resolution the issue, but rather the exposure is focused on a more narrow range.

As an HTC One and now M8 owner, I put this together to try to help people understand when Ultrapixels work well and when they don't: http://bit.ly/1jJVNwU

Fantastic article, sir, thanks for the time you put into this.
[One (M8) General] gtg465x:
A lot of these photos are blurry near one edge or corner of the image. Usually the lower left corner when shooting in landscape. Pretty sure it's a lens alignment issue, and many M7s experienced it too. We thought it was the OIS causing it back then, but apparently not. Really disappointing that they didn't fix it.

Also disappointing that HTC still has the worst HDR algorithms of any phone manufacturer.
[One (M8) General] gtg465x:
This photo shows the blurring on the far left / lower left that I was talking about.
[One (M8) General] gtg465x:
This image has pronounced blurring in the lower left as well.
[One (M8) General] hamdir:
[MENTION=1033039]gtg465x[/MENTION] the side blur issue is over blown, the camera has a wide angle anyway, so the blur happens at the edge (close up into an object and you will notice the top gets distorted) its not a big of a problem because you can simple crop the that edge if it happens, in 90% of the M7 photos in my gallery I don't have the issue

[One (M8) General] gtg465x:
Bleh, certainly not my best work, but it's what I got. The lens on my One M8 blows and the left side of my images almost always appear blurry in landscapes regardless of where I focus. I have a replacement on the way because I broke my screen so hopefully it doesn't have this issue (though my One M7 had the same issue so I think misaligned / crappy lenses are the norm for HTC).

[MENTION=1033039]gtg465x[/MENTION] cool photos mate, the side blur is not a defect unless extreme, its a quality of the wide lens on the M8 try to focus on the side of the blue and you will see it happening in the opposite side, in other word its like a slight horizontal focus plan

[One (M8) General] gtg465x:
Not long actually. I use auto mode mostly, one shot there is HDR, and one (the splash) was from a Zoe. Sometimes I will take two or three compositions and choose the best one later, but with that particular glass beach shot, I believe I got it on the first try. I did take a few other macro pictures of the glass on the beach at different locations with different backdrops, but that was my favorite.
[One (M8) General] xsardax:
How did you take this HDR Macro shot with chain and GG in behind?

When I try HDR, and move frame to lock AE/AF on bright area, when I reframe to my shot, I can't focus anymore right? So I need to lock AE/AF on screen outsude of frame on brightest area, but to take care that on screen is same position where my focused frame will be? Hope I've managed to explain :)

Some more info looking like HTC will relase a 13MP duo camera M8. Would have thought they would have just waited until the M9 to update the camera rather than pushing out another M8 variant, but then again perhaps its cheaper to change out the camera module on the model they are currently producing. I've just upgraded to my M8 in the last couple of weeks and not too bothered about a 13mp model, as the current one takes great photos. Definitely think its a good move going forward though, as this could make the One the 'perfect' android smartphone.

[One (M8) General] gtg465x:
I'm jealous of those of you who have no blurring at the edges of your images. I wonder if they source different lenses for different regions and we get the worst here in the US. My M7, my first M8 that I dropped, and my replacement M8 have all had blurring (in landscape shots where everything should be in focus) in a specific corner or corners of images, with my current M8 being the worst of the three. I feel like the M8 camera wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for that.
[One (M8) General] gtg465x:
If I take pictures with the phone upside down so that the volume rocker is in the bottom, the blurring will be at the top of pictures instead of at the bottom so at least it's less noticeable in landscape shots if there's just sky in the top. Here's just a taste of my unwanted blur from the crap lens in my M8. Check out the blurriness of the building in the top right. Hopefully the image is high res enough to see that... uploading through XDA app.
[One (M8) General] gtg465x:
Before I learned to flip the phone upside down, major blurring in bottom left. Many times it appears worse than these, but I have deleted those pictures that it completely ruined.

I got my M8 a few weeks ago... switched from an iPhone after about 3 years. I love the phone, but I am a bit disappointed with the camera. Especially after finding out that they're going to announce the m8 eye very soon. Kinda wish I would've waited... but it will suffice for the next 6-12 months.

I even thought about potentially reselling the m8 and getting a g3 instead but I can't really even think about doing that until my iPhone sells. The other thing is that I spent the $25 on Sunshine to get S-off etc., so there's also some monetary investment there that would be a shame to give up so soon.
