Been thinking of whether or not to get an HTC Incredible S, but I'm questioning the video recording quality on the device. I've heard that HTC's cameras aren't very spectacular in the past, and I wonder if it's been improved on the Incredible S. Taking a look at the photos thread, the camera seems alright. But I want to know if that's the same case for video recording, both visually and audio-wise.
Thanks.
My personal exp. With using the incredible s is that it does the job and is very underrated by a lot online unboxing and overall reviews...I hate the fact that it records in .3gp format. But to me,visually, its amazing compared to other devices I've used with 720p recording... And as far as the sound, it could be better,but but overall in my opinion very good..

imo, for a smartphone...it's great. A little jittery, pending the lighting and the amount of movement, as well as the setting. I find the 720p setting better than the wvga setting, however it does take up a lot more space. Zooming in is a little shakey, but it could be the screen protector that I have on the screen.

How would you guys rate the camera in the incredible S? I am finding it OK but no where near as good as my wife's sgs2. What's your thoughts? I had an iPhone 4 before and I'd put it in the same bracket as that.

It's good if you're on a custom Rom

i'm using htc amaze camera in my IS and its by far the best mobile cam i've used even compared it with sgs2 it beat the **** out sgs2 in stills
For me, I found the quality of IncS camera just average. It's too much noise and doesn't perform good in low light condition. Even my previous Hero (5M) has better quality than it.
I've never had any problems. It think the picture quality is excellent. Some of the still images I have look better than pictures my gf took on her 14mpx camera.

I must try and do a side by side comparison v an SGS2, I've found on the phone screen when look at it pics seem fine, when you download them and display on the computer they have no where near as much detail i've found them a bit artefact. This was a photo I took on a SGS2, I've always loved how much detail it gives.

The image you have provided looks somewhat overexposed. There's also no comparison pic to understand the issues you have brought up.
There's a guide for the dhd here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875230 you might be able to apply some of the settings on the Inc s.
the stock camera is great - but once you get rid of Sense by flashing a AOSP ROM, the camera sucks. I have CM7.1 and the one thing I miss is the Sense camera.
It is RUBBISH!

couldn't have said it better - any other form of camera except the sense one is crap
but having said that, the sense one is excellent imo
PS key2gb - check out Nik SensationXL rom, i value speed and performance of my phone over almost anything else, but his sense rom gives fantastic performance, best ive used by a mile - and i got my camera back lol
It's better than any other camera I've had one a phone.
Consider the following:
It's a phone.
Nice cam in Nik`s 2.5 rom
Buy a dslr cam if u want a good 1..4 what u want to compare incs with s2?? Cam..lol

I hear that the camera in Inc S is the best that HTC put in their phones (maybe Sensation have it even better).
I´ve got before Inc S classic phone without OS Sony Ericsson C905 (from Cyber-Shot family), and in compare, SE takes pictures better (hmmm... I think it takes the best pictures in whole world of mobile phones). But if you have enough lightened scene, then Inc S takes nice pictures.
It´s the matter of view. If I want take a quick picture of something, it is enough. For better pictures I rather take DSLR.
The quality of the camera with the stock ROM is really great. Switching to a custom rom you loose something, but considering the big picture, I wouldn't be back. HTC will probably never update this phone to ICS.

It's fine, but the flash led can not flash with correct situation.
It is no good , but you may try to install the third software of camera , for example :LG camera, 360 camera , it's better
The quality of HTC IS Camera seems quite good for me. But compared to my previous (Sams i8910) phone its certanly worse...
The i8910 had one of the best cameras! It has juicy colors in photos and video! Was checking it with my friend's Nokia N8, my i8910 and HTC IS.
1) Nokia N8
2) Samsung i8910 Omnia HD
3) HTC Incredible S

funny, I was just checking out his thread. I want to wait for CM9 to come out and then I might switch back to Sense. I really like my set up right now and I'm interested to see what CM9 brings to the table.
Hello,
I guess everybody who owns a 4X will encounter problems with the camera app.
When recording video the 4X will try to focus again and again and finally the movie is crap! When taking pictures it is even worse, most the pictures are out of focus!
I have tried some camera apps but none of them correct the out of focus problem.
Manny apps like camera 360 don't even work...
Does anybody have a solution for this problem?
I am very surpised that LG's flagship has a problem like this!
It's like LG never tried the camera app...
I am dissapointed about this issue but still i prefer the 4X over the ONE X or the S3
Having a TEGRA3 phone with 80Gb memory is a nice thing, movies, music, games as much as you want. This phone works really smooth and the TEGRA3 enhanced games are the best you can buy on the android market.
Battery last longer then the one X and it feels lighter, slimmer and has more class then the one x, but i guess that is personal opinion. Before i owned a HTC Desire HD and i can only say that even with this camera issue the 4X is my number 1 phone for the moment. So if you are looking for a TEGRA 3 GamePhone this is the one to buy !
Can XDA remove the "not to buy thread" this does not belong here !!!
Greetings to all android users out there...
PS What will happen to Android when flash support ends !?
It's been commented in another post..
The app lgcamera seems to work fine..
BTW, I agree with you, it's an amazing phone

Yup, this app seems to fix the autofocus issue.
Hi, is there any mod to increase camera mega pixels? I thought this because a review in Russian from Htc ONE that see the camera is from high quality but there is a post-software which decrease to 4mpx.
Anyone?
This is insane bro,its impossible
No, the sensor is what it is.

what kind of drugs he is on??
Some phones indeed use less megapixels than it's capable of taking (I remember the Evo 3D did that in 3D mode to make smaller files), but the htc One sensor itself is 4Mp, so that's hardware limited. They did this on purpose, because more megapixels doesn't necessarily mean better quality. In fact, because of the fewer megapixels in a larger sensor it catches more light
So...the STOCK camera image quality is a great disappointment.
usually the end result is a grainy not so sharp and little detail captured. Pictures turn up with a lot of NOISE in them.
QUESTION: Does any one know of a alternative to getting better quality out of the sensor in the HTC One?
Maybe another APK, or a MOD or just anything else in general to get better quality?
When I take a picture outside in daylight the image size varies from 800Kb to 1.8 MB. Just by looking at the size of the file I can tell its crappy quality. My Nexus 4 was taking pictures of 2.3 - 3.4MB and it captured a great amount of detail.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Buy a phone with an 8mp camera.

So what your saying is that im pretty much SOL? lol
Your first sentence alone is enough to discredit your argument. Read some reviews from experts- I doubt you'll find any that describe the camera as "crappy".
Plus, you're comparing the file sizes of a 4mp camera and an 8mp camera, what do you expect?

Even though it's "only" 4 megapixels, the camera in my One is better in every way than the 8 megapixel shooters in my Galaxy S 3 and Optimus G.
I don't use my camera phone to create photographic masterpieces, but it does the job I need it to do.
