On a whim I decided to downlad the google oem camera apk . It works beautifully on the bionic!!! Super fast and pictures look very good!! Only issue I see is the setting only goes to 5mp. To me it seems to work better then any other camera app I've used.
Camera apk : http://db.tt/9Lyxzfl (dropbox) for a limited time

sound good. The current camera could be improved a bit..it focus rather slow.
Went out tonight and shot some pics with the camera in auto and 8mp, granted it did focus slow. I think they are half way decent shots. (I'm no photographer)
This is one picture I wish I had more of an ability for light and focus and what not
Weird thing about this pic, is that actual daylight was just a tad brighter.

Yes, just figured out how to make Camera 360 shoot in 8MP so I'll be shooting with that tomorrow, see if its any better.
Right now testing around my building, it shoots a bit quicker, and has some more options. I am starting to like it better than the stock app, for stills at least.
I really want to get the Nexus S camera app, but what is keeping me is no 8mp support. I feel if I can, I should.
I want my friend to come visit me this weekend so I can shoot with his Nikon DSLR. I am going to try the Macro mode we have built in tomorrow on this stock app.
Love the phone, especially with the Revolt 1.5 ROM, but I hate the camera. The camera lag, time between touching the button and getting a picture, is terrible. So bad, I can't use it to pictures of people/pets in candid moments. Tried taking photos of my boss opening her birthday gifts. All I got was blurry photos of her face buried in the next gift, not the photo of joy of her opening gifts.
Is there anything that can be done? a setting maybe, or a software issue that a future ROM could fix?
Love the phone, other than the damn camera!

You could try a different camera app. I personally haven't had issues with the stock camera, but I've been using camera advance pro. More features and seems to work smoother

Get a real camera? I haven't noticed anything to terrible but this thing isn't a real camera to me.. I have a 60D for that
The only thing that can really be done is inside the settings menu itself. Change the focus mode to face tracking, and turn flash off. The bad part is when you change the settings it does not hold once close the app.

camera update
mtmichaelson:
thanks for suggestion. I am trying Advanced Camera. The shutter lag is much less; so that is great. Also I like aLL the options and look forward to getting to use them all. BUT, there is a proble. The app has locked up twice on me and it only has been 1 hour.
xjli:
I have had and will soon get a dedicated camera, but I would like to be able to capture spontaneous shots whenever the opportunity arises. I always have my phone; won't always have a camera. The Advanced Camera app might be the answer if the force closes go away.

I've got a 30D. Love it but doesn't exactly fit in my pocket hehe.
I've noticed turning the flash off helps with the delay. And as I'm sure xjili will agree, you should almost never have that damn thing on anyway. Flash ruins the white balance / color of photos and makes them look horrible. Easily the most over/mis-used feature of any camera.
My personal favorite is when people use the flash when taking a picture of something far away... Do they really think their built-in flash has a range of 50 meters? But I digress...
Does Camera Advance have any sort of "shaky hand" compensation feature? Awhile back I purchased Camera ZOOM FX for my original Droid; it had that option and it actually worked really well. I totally forgot about it until now, but I'll install it, see how it works on the Revo, and post a review of some sort.

From what I've seen, there is no stabilization feature, however three is an option for a burst about, which takes three images in rapid succession. That could get a clear shot if you have the shakes

Had this phone for a while and did not know about this! Thanks, gotta try this out.

Camera ZOOM FX seems to work very well, lots of features including the stabilization feature, but the accelerometer in the Revo appears to be too sensitive to make use of this.
Other features:
*Burst shot. You can set the delay between each photo as well as how many to take (up to 14).
*Add effects to your photos, with lots of effects available for download in the market if you're into that kind of thang.
*Can be set as default camera app.
*Timer delayed shot. Also has an option to take photo when you clap, but I haven't tested that.
*You can set swiping left/right/up/down to various functions like changing white balance, antibanding, zooming in/out, et al.
*Digital zoom seems to work pretty well.
*Haven't had any FC problems, and it definitely snaps photos faster.
*I like the interface considerably more than the stock one. Will get some screen caps if anyone expresses interest.
I'm definitely gonna be using this I instead of the stock camera. No problems shooting video with it either.

i got my note last week and have playing with it and loved it...i previously have s2 but since i saw note in the mall...i have fallen in love with it
but somethings bothering me..
before i take a pic ...it was clear perhaps hd but after taking the picture and
i look the the gallery ... the pictue look maybe a little dark...or dim
maybe a setting will fix this ?
and lag in waking up? about 2-3 ?
thx for the help pips
I think this is the nature of this camera. When we try shoot a pic the visual which we see in display is before image processing after click image sensor do some modification to the image and it delivers to gallery. So probably this is not a defect or problem... its designed like that..and i don't think samsung phones are known for good quality shooter. No offense.
are you using the stock camera? i have noticed that other camera apps works much better compared to the stock one, my favorite is camera zoom fx, paid app though, for me it gives better pictures compared to the stock one. there are plenty of good free ones out there too. have a look around the play store =]
It's a brightness difference. When you load the stock camera the phone brightness goes really high (you can even make it brighter by switching outdoor visibility on). After taking a picture and going to gallery, you're screen goes back to original brightness that's why it looks dim/blurred but it's not.

You are right.. Stock camera app is little bad.. Evn though if we are using another good app finally lens and image sensor matters.. I don't think samy is using better lens than Carl zies or something. I would say samy and HTC are little poor compared to nokia's and son's lens (of thinking they both use same lenses). This is upto my knowledge.. Correct me if am wrong.
Just picked one up locally from someone who said they got it at Walmart. He decided to stick with his SGS3. I'll post pics in a bit.

You lucky duck. I actually did the opposite and sold my GS3 to get this. Love the better design & build quality of motorola and REALLY like the futuristic on-screen nav like the Gnex has. DId you get the white or titanium? Pics yay!!

So wait, he had a GS3, got the Atrix HD a week later then gave it less than a day before getting rid of it? Just....wow.
So, real quick first impressions. Phone is quick. No delay in doing anything. Screen is really nice. Bright and colorful. Camera takes about 5-10 years to take a picture. Battery life right now is going pretty quick, but hopefully that will level out. Blur isn't nearly as intrusive as it used to be. It's a combination of Blur and stock ICS.
Not too sure how I feel about the phone yet. I like it, but do I like it enough to keep it for a while. Don't know yet.

Hey man, I'll tell ya what: I will trade you your new Atrix 3 for my LG Thrill. I know, I know, that's not a fair trade because (as we all know) the LG Thrill is the best smartphone currently in existence. It's your lucky day. You're welcome.
but seriously, PM me if you aren't keeping it, I would be interested in buying, and depending on where you live in NY I might be able to pick it up from you in person.
If you decide to keep it, then enjoy, it looks like quite a beast. I just wish they made the battery a little more like the razr maxx, because thickness never bothered me, but I love long-lasting (that's what she said).

Yah it looks the closest to stock ICS compared to the other skins(sense, touchwiz etc) I just wish they'd leave the icons how they look on the Gnex then it would be really close to stock 4.0.4. Really looking forward to checkin out that screen. Can't wait to see it tommorow!
First impressions
i picked up my atrix hd yesterday and had a day to play with it
my first impressions:
icecream sandwich baby!!! runs like a butter!! cant wait what jellybean gonna feel like
Very little skin on top!!! almost stock... and that circle widget is awesome
build quality is good and it feels great on ur hand
holly cow the speakers are loud.... and call quality is very clear. One of the best smartphone i have ever had for call quality!! i usually get 1 bar of at&t coverage in my house but boy i had no problem calling and receiving calls(my iphone used to fail a lot)
did i mention FASTTTTTTTTTTTT before..
i benchmarked over sgs3 and HTC one x on quadrant...
i got around 1374 on sunspider java test... now thatz fast....like seriously fast... stock web browser can handle any thing u throw at it like a cake!! compare that to iphone 4's 5000 and 4s's 2500..(coz i have both of them). Now all this scores and all sounds really good but i really go by realtime performance and user experiences... and this phone comes out with flying colors.
Bluetooth 4.0 is gr8 and 4g LTE(AWESOME)
screen looks gr8 but not as good as hd lcd 2 screen...brightness could have been a bit high... but 720p for $99 not complaining
battery life can be better and it takes like 3 to 4 or more hours for charging!!!
it doesnot have physical home button but uses onscreen ones now that can be hit or miss for some... i personally like it but one annoying thing abt it is while u r playing games those buttons are still visible and u can accidently press it... but while watching media and all it tugs away for clean experience.
Man camera sux!!! sorry for bad news but yeh itz motorola and u get same quality camera as last gen smartphone!!! with icream sandwich u can take pictures with almost no shutter lag and take pics while recording video.. jus use the camera to take picture or video outside in proper sunlight...if u r lokin for camera Smartphone... this is not ur phone!!
No NFC!! and who cares!!!
overall great phone for the price point!!! if u want the latest and greatest specs and dont want to pay premium price point then jump right into it.. u wont regret it!!!

What a disappointment. I was hoping the camera was better. Good quality pics are important to me. Can't help it. Must be a female thing.

Yeh camera is bad for current industry standard !!! I took some pics out in sunlight and it looked decent enough but inside shots and low light ones are way too bad! too many noise on the pics and flash doesn't help coz it creates a lot of exposer!!! surprising enough 1080p video looks good!!! i guess its good as cam not still camera!!

True test of a camera on a mobile is how much noise it produces on night shots.
I got mine through my upgrade. I traded my old Atrix 2 and picked up the AHD for free at bestbuy and had enough from the trade in to have a screen protector put on, car dock, and a tape deck adapter. I still have $20 left on a gift card. The phone is new so they had no cases.
The screen is bright, I think the colors are a little too saturated, but overall it's an improvement over the Atrix2.
The phone looks almost like the Razr that just came out, and the phone is very light but with a good textured lightly rubberish feel to it.
ICS delivers and the AHD is snappy enough to make the experience lag free. Even with all my apps restoring I was able to surf the web and setup my email without lag.
The camera is fine, not great, but acceptable. Still better than the Atrix2.
I can't say I'm a fan of the battery. It drains a little faster than I'd like it too, but I also have tweaked any of the power settings. I've also put a heavy load on it re-syncing my apps and information, so that can contribute to my battery drain. It's acceptable, but I do see having to recharge it after a workday, instead of waiting till bed time.
Overall, with the bestbuy line upgrade deal this phone is a direct upgrade from the Atrix2. It's faster, the screen is better, and it has ICS.
The on screen button are easy and you'll prefer them over the old soft buttons.
The phone looks nice, feels nice, performs as an ICS phone should.
I see it as the mid-high range Android phone right now.
Thanks my 2 cents.
I agree the Atrix HD is much better than the Atrix 2. I think it is one of the best phone that I have used.

Thats not bad at all. Go check out SmartActions, its already in your apps. It has a battery extender that works quite well. I was able to get a good 15-20% extra out of my battery.
Hi, I don't often take panoramic pictures... but recently I've been using panaroid android rom and the stock camera is not as good as i would think especially comparing to what samsung stock has.
So I was wondering what do people recommendo for panorama pictures. Take in noticed i've tried photaf, panorama camera 360, procapture, and a whole bunch...
If you guys know if there is one that like the samsung stock app automatically takes the pictures and calibrate them you know it shows the green mark... since all of the rest although are really good taking the pic is kinda hard for me since I suffer from early parkinsons... and since the holidays are coming i know im going to take a lot of panorama shots.
Any help would be appreciated.
