Did a quick comparison between Note 4 & my D3100 with 50mm f1.8g .. Results are for your to judge . Personally I am quite surprised .

1.D3100 : F8 - 1/30 - ISO 200

2.Note 4 : F2.2 - 1/60 - ISO 64 ( SnapCamera default settings )

Point taken and it makes sense. I will not directly upload the full resolution pictures going forward but downsized versions with a smaller file size. The original pictures are still available on Flickr for those interested.

Well, I used to really enjoy having a look of all the pictures people posted. Unfortunately, NOT ANY MORE. The tendency of posting ridiculess size of pictures and having to go down to the last picture and scroll to the right to see any more of it put me off completely. Why oh why can't we have pictures that fit the page? It's not that hard I'm sure.

Rant mode off
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vincent2167:
Out of curiosity which browser are you using ? With Chrome (on the Note 4 or Windows 7 desktop), the images are automatically resized and hence there is no need to scroll left/right to see the full picture.

I didn't realized the bandwidth or image formatting issues with my connection/browser and since I few posts, I upload 1600x900 pictures with a size around 500-700ko (much better than the 5312x2988 full resolution pictures with a size 10 times bigger).

Vincent, do you make manual correction of your photos in Lightroom or you are using ready filters? :confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vincent2167:
I manually edit my photos in Lightroom.

On the note 4, I try to shoot with hdr off whenever possible, as activating this feature decreases the image quality. For high contrast scenes (with blown highlights or blocked shadows), I set hdr to on.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Magnus3D:
If possible you should always avoid using digital zoom on cameras, it's a bad technology which interpolates pixels and does so poorly. Results are very soft and poor. It's better you get as close as you can and then just crop it or use a proper camera.

Bearing in mind its supposedly 93% humidity tonight so that will be killing some of the detail. It does help we have daylight LED street lights but the Note 3 didn't look anywhere near this good.

For reference, below were taken with the Note 3 under similar conditions (but before all the new street lighting was put in and road resurfaced):

As you can see, WAY more processing and very little detail at all.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Piercing Heavens:
Is this normal for photo quality? Everything is so grainy even in the day light.

http://imgur.com/qLizkWF

I mean even when i zoom in just a little everything is so soft and grainy. Am i nitpicking or arr other people seeing this.

I know the photo i took isnt in good conditions for a photo but the detail or the people seems to be the same no matter what lighting.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] AlexMullerSA:
Anyone here using AOSP??

Iv installed the Flyme OS Camera onto CM 12.1 and AICP.

The quality is excellent, capture is quick!

However in low light situations without a flash you can see a lot of colorful noise. On TW camera all it would do is smoothen out the picture which would make it appear blurry. With Flyme OS camera the image is very sharp in low light, but the color noise can be an annoyance.

How can i reduce the noise? Id prefer to have an app on my phone.

Any suggestions?

Exynos or snapdragon ? Which is the.best camera?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jizang:
Does the processor influence the quality of the pictures taken with a phone ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] st@r$k!:
Yes, it does make a difference! The snapdragon can take almost RAW quality images (you just need to turn off every kind of image enhancement: sharpening, denoising, lower the contrast etc.)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] K0v4L:
Dark side of the moon spinning.

https://flic.kr/p/uW3sxG
[Galaxy Note 4 General] LifeDrainerRO:
The processor itself shouldn't influence the quality but usually the Exynos variant of the Note 4 comes with Samsung ISOCELL camera sensor while the Snapdragon comes with Sony IMX240. The difference between them is not really noticeable though.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] st@r$k!:
I'm sorry, but this is wrong (to an extent): the snapdragon variant allows you to turn off the enhancements, which gives you much better image quality (unless you're shooting in the dark).

The possibility to turn it off is caused by an open API, which is inaccessible on the exynos variant.

On the other hand, I agree with you on one thing: the image quality is not so different, UNLESS you turn off the enhancements.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
Still no RAW support?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
No.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sanz_khan:
Is there any app for Note 4 for better picture quality. I am using S5 and Note 4 but my s5 is better than note4 in camera
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jizang:
What is raw Support ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
Much better picture quality thanks to raw (unprocessed) files.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] st@r$k!:
Try snap camera hdr by dzo, it allows for almost-raw output if you turn off image enhancements.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] silverhunk:
What app do you guys use to edit picture?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
This "almost" really stands far away.

It is light years from true raw.

JPEG never will be any better, hard to call it "almost" raw.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] igoor777:
Snapseed.. ;)

Sent from SM-N910C
[Galaxy Note 4 General] st@r$k!:
True, but it's the best you can get right now anyway. A real RAW file is worth a million JPEGs.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
^^^

I checked this mod and I am being honest - I don't see any difference between normal JPEG and this "better" JPEG.

Maybe I am too lazy to check it out precisely but I say what I see.

Stupid crapsung should add RAW support for Note, then night photos would be much better.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] st@r$k!:
^^^

You can't see any difference, OK.

That's because you're using the app the standard way –default settings–. But let me show you something...

Look at this: dpreview part 1

and this: dpreview part 2

I could also post some comparison shots, but I think this is enough for anyone to understand what I'm talking about.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
OK thx however I still have doubts.

Guy compared 805's stock camera results to SnapCamera (and others) results done on 805.

I'd like to see straight in the same situation photo taken by 805 and Exynos. Author doesn't say the amount of sharpness (overall post processing) is the same, lower or higher in the Exynos. He just says this trick does not apply to that CPU. Does he compare the amount of FX added by stock Exynos camera app and stock 805 camera app? Can't find this info.

I am also doubtful regarding calling this some kind of better quality - yes generally the less software FX the better but it is still JPEG. You will not get any more data from it. Burned photos will still be burned, darken will be dark with noise. It is not raw where unmodified file can be post processed in Adobe giving extra ordinary results even in case of phone.

Editing JPEG produced with less sharpening will give IMHO almost nothing, especially when difference between stock and Snap is not too big.

I also understand that usually (well, mostly I think) it is better to add some sharpening as it is not raw file, just JPEG. The question is how much - it lies in personal preference.

Let's say most people get "better JPEG" and in Adobe (or Snap) add half of the stock sharpening - example 10 instead of 20.

You get then almost identical image to the stock.

I may be some kind of fond but overall I liked stock examples there, especially around trees. Better JPEG didn't provide extra material scratches, every leaf's line ect. ^.

Pics and camera observations

I've been mostly satisfied with the camera on my Galaxy Note 4 but my HTC Amaze took better quality pictures (although smaller) - unfortunately, it died. One thing I've learned that I must do to ensure the best quality possible with the Note 4 is to clean the lens before each photo taking session. The lens is really in a prominent location and it always smudges. I learned that after spending 30 minutes photographing a herd of Longhorns - very disappointing to get back and see the pics on my laptop and realize none were usable. So, I always "spit and wipe" before I take pics now :). I was going to share some of my pics but I haven't reached the 10 post minimum yet. Cheers!

Excellent shot of the flower. But when you take a photo of a well lit building (or whatever that is in your first photo) in a dark environment, do use the exposure lock feature. It makes the focused subject much more crisp and detailed.

My photos gets really grainy(?) in cloudy and afternoon light conditions. My HDR blows out any detail photos (samsung software that always softs first so than sharps everything after).

Picture quality of the Z3 is a joke (a bad one) compared with the Note 4. Same for the flash. Sony totally spoiled it.

If you like detailled pictures and a real capable flash, stay away from the Z3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Nitemare3219:
Took a lot of low-light shots tonight with differing ISO's. Exposure setting didn't seem to change anything in this setting, or else it wasn't working. White balance was set to cloudy to help bring out proper color in my LEDs; however, ISO setting will change the appearance of the lights as well. The shots are OK with the stock camera app, and the phone was mounted on a tripod, photos set with a timer, and not touched once focused and capture button pressed. This was in my garage with only the car's interior lights on - no other ambient light present. Hopefully L API's bring some more useful camera settings to help with low light shots. Manual ISO settings can help but you will trade detail and light to get rid of grain. I took shots on auto and at the "best" ISO I found. Few used flash, and they are obvious. Auto-enhanced, resized/compressed with G+ - but still fairly representative of the actual shots.

Think I used HDR below in this shot:

Perhaps the best shot of them all
