First of all many thanks to everyone at XDA for such an impressive support and development site. This is my first post here.
I recently move from the iPhone 4S to the Galaxy Note and it's just impressive... Apart from the camera which sometimes can take a few seconds to load. My son is coming close to being 11 months and has started walking with support from couch and such. It is thus at moments like this that I really need a quick snap.
Can anyone kindly suggest an alternate camera app which is quick to launch and to take multiple pictures in rapid succession. Please note that this is not in burst mode but having the capability to take pictures immediately. This phone is an absolute powerhouse and I'm absolutely certain that there must be an app which will fit the bill.
Once again many thanks.
at market you can find "Fast Burst Camera" it takes really fast photos, but picture quality isnt so amazing. Also you can try "Camera zoom fx"
The camera zoom DC app is a keeper. Thanks for the pointers. Cheers.

what is this camera zoom DC app, can not find it!! there is only camera zoom FX app
Are you aware? draws six frames in burst mode, and the resolution decreases.
Do you have the answer this issue?
Yes sir everyone knows this. Burst mode taken pics are taken at VGA quality...same with the Panorama shot. I know...LG is so lame. But there is/are alternatives. I use the AOSP Jellybean 4.2 Camera for my panorama shots and it records at the full 8MP quality.

We are all running official ROMs here, unfortunately.
I was wondering, if there is a reduction in photo quality when using HTC zoe (or even burst) compared to the photo capture?

Good question. I wondered this, so I compared a "zoe" 1 of 20 and a normal shot and I couldn't tell the difference.
How to take better quality pictures?
im using offical camera from stock rom on my SIII Mini But they looks good till i zoom them. they have low quality and crappy compression 5 MP picture s just 1.4 mb file.
i have Galaxy Ace and it take better pictures i can zoom them and dont lose the same quality as SIII
ive read in google there are a tweak to increase the video quality but didnt find a way to increase Picture quality on cam and enable or disable JPEG compression
SIII Mini has no zoom support. it has only single lens. so the way a camera app zooms is not by zooming the lens. but zooming the pixel.

many if not all mobile phone cams zoom in with pixels so that is not a S3mini thing
On the S9+, you can use optical zoom while recording video. It seems to be that this is not the case with the P20 pro for some reason, which would be a deal breaker for me.
Can someone confirm?
Bump
The youtube camera comparison vids from SupaSaf suggest that there is no optical zoom button in Video Capture Mode like on the S9 but you can pinch to zoom (it's just not known whether this is optical or digital but suggests digital to me).
Optical zoom is there. Just no button. Have to use fingers.

I just watched the SuperSaf video and it does seem like digital. Is there any confirmation it's actually optical zoom?
Bump, anyone who received it can confirm?
You can zoom. It's digital zoom as far as I can tell

That’s disappointing. I’m contemplating just cancelling my order and going back to my S9+. I loved everything about it but the very, very mediocre battery life. But the P20 pro which seemed great with the camera at first now seems to have some major drawbacks (no stabilization at 4K, no 4k60 recording, pictures looking soft, no way to enable beauty mode, etc.). What a shame.
Sorry to exhume this thread, but I'm interested in the topic. I can see why the 5x hybrid zoom might be too taxing for video, but it would be extremely disappointing for the phone to contain a 3x telephoto lens and not contain a 3x optical zoom.
YouTube has a couple new videos, but I'm not sure how to interpret. This one shows digital zoom that strikes me as very disappointing.

This one, on the other hand, to my eye, looks more like optical zoom. It's tough to judge the quality in portrait mode on YouTube, but it looks better than digital zoom to me:

Anyone have any thoughts on this or new experiences with the phone in the last couple of weeks?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, that was a great video.
Fwiw, I ended up buying it. So long as you take video in 30fps, you get what looks to be sharp, optical zoom. If you film in 1080p60, however, you get a hot mess of digital zoom. The attached shows a frame capture of 1080p30 (pretty sharp) next to 1080p60 (blurry mess). 4K30 looks much like 1080p30 but appears not to zoom in quite as far.
3x video definitely uses optical zoom. You can compare 3x vs 2.7x frame quality.

Interesting! Fwiw, my screenshots were both taken at 10x to maximize distortion so I assume there was some optical/hybrid as well as digital zoom occurring on the 30fps sample and pure digital on the 60fps sample
