I thought the reviews were just being harsh, but after playing with the HD at the store, the camera is really disappointing. Especially compared to the other options out there (HTC One X). Any chance these short comings can be fixed with a OTA update? Or does the camera suffer for a cheaper price point?
I have been getting pretty decent and good pictures. But then again I am no photographer

That's good to know. Maybe it was just the lighting in the store or an effect someone had put it on. Thanks mqguitar!
It could have been here are some quick pictures I took without adjusting and doing quickly. I will take some more with macro too also. Hope this helps

The Camera Quality looks good to me. It's a lot better than the Atrix 2's 8MP Camera.
Image quality has been better than I expected from the reviews - I think it's usable and I'm into photography (of course, for nice pics I'll use a real camera).
Its about as good side by side with the s3 just has a blue tint to everything

I ended up getting the HD and I agree with all of you. The camera really is not bad at all. It is much better than the demo model I used in the store. I wonder what the issue was. Either way I am very happy with my purchase. Thanks for sharing some of your shots too!

Its the lighting in AT&T stores. It looks bright because of the stores themes bright orange and Blue death star. You'll really come to notice that the lights are dimmed a little just so the screens look nice and it's harder to see all the scratches left by people who played with the demo model.
The Camera is really effected by lighting, but it can be fixed with some of the camera's built in pre-settings.
Besides, the trend is instagram these days. Blurry out of focus over saturated pictures are the popular thing now. *shakes head and shrugs*
Looks like I might be canceling my orderdue to the purple glaze effect which the Iphone5 had. As camera is a important aspecr for me.

Update: yup. You guys are right. Its just a phone. And no. I dont take pictures of my food. Lol. I was expecting too much for a 300 dollar device. And no phone is perfect in every way. I do have a dslr, but I wont be carrying that with me 24/7. So sometimes you have to use your phone to freeze that perfect moment.
I was not trying to convince anybody to not get the phone. I was simply trying to get the fact out in case it does bother anyone.
My nexus will be arriving in a few days.
So one image of bright lights means it's a problem huh? Jesus...
Your purchase or lack thereof will be sorely missed.

This thing isn't an issue. I currently have the iPhone 5 on my sprint account and the pictures come out great with rarely any purple haze. To each his own but to not buy a phone because of this slight issue is crazy.

You should at least try it. If you just rely on review every time, you won't but anything. I was afraid that this phone wouldn't be a real upgrade (i had a galaxy nexus). But the hardware is really good and the reactivity of the device is just amazing.
I would consider give it a try, you can always send it back if you want to and get a refund.

All phone cameras get this AFAIK. It's bright lights that do it. Some do it more than others, but they all do it to some degree.
I don't have that issue...but if it means that much to you, then just go buy a dedicated camera and use it.

Even reflex objective suffer some purple fringing at max aperture in direct sunlight, and some of them cost more than the n4.
I don't even know why people should bother about this, just learn to move when make a photo and don't make direct light photos...

Ok...
Stare at a bright light for 1 min without blinking... do you see a purple haze? Bright lights stress optics this is nothing new use a filter.

It's possible seeing as how the N7 doesn't have an LED notification light like the N10.
Quite clearly all these idiots and their rumours didn't learn ANYTHING from this years Google I/O
There is nothing to suggest there is a new Nexus7.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I have never seen a Google tablet with notification led in the bottom.
So what is it?
A Google tease in my opinion, coming in July:

The Nexus 10 has a notification LED, but the video is definitely not of a N10.
I'd like a new N7 announced soon or I'm going to be tabletless.
I'm not buying a 1st Gen N7 again when the 2nd gen is on the horizon.
So by this image, it would be produced by Asus again? Was the N10 by Asus also?

It's just the N7 camera edited after filming. This commercial was done by an ad company and is rather un-Google (see the upside down Nexus 4 in the video!)

Looks the same as the current Nexus, they probably just added the light through editing. Besides, would the new Nexus really have that light?

The N10 has the notification light, so maybe it would.
It is a N7. It's the light reflection in the camera lense. No editing or no secret device google is releasing in the future.
I have done quite a few videos for YouTube. Comedy skits mostly. It's pretty easy to tell what it is

Wat? It fades in and out. It's clearly an indication of a notification light. Sure, it might be fake. But it's not a reflection.
That fading is from the actor moving to pick up the device.

A lot of the issues with the camera are that the stock camera app sucks, Google needs to spend a little time making a half way decent camera app.
So its more on the software side not hardware? I'm surprised custom Roms haven't gone to town on the camera
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
So if Nexus 5 has the same camera as G2, how come it has that weird camera lens in those leaked pics? G2 doesn't have that kind on lense or stuff around it.
I doubt that design really changes much from final Nexus 5.

I'm fairly sure that's what it was, people were discussing it a long time ago but I can't really find it. There were even people comparing which camera was better and in the end it died down after they realized both cameras were the same model by Sony or something. There were even a few people having issues with the purple haze on the iPhone 5, who also had it with the Nexus 4, so that gave it away initially, or so I think. It's been a long time, don't remember.
The Nexus 4 does not have the same camera as the iPhone 5.

I'm pretty sure most custom ROMs use the stock camera app. CM was using Focal but the dev had them take it out after CM incorporated and now CM is back to the stock AOSP camera. By the way Focal is now a beta app in the Playstore and is worth checking out.
The issue is the iPhone does much better photo processing than pretty much any phone. This is done at the driver level and not really directly in the app itself. Hopefully, Google can really improve the experience on the N5.
Please keep all Nexus 5 discussions to the existing threads.

Sorry I don't have any photos worth sharing yet. But the Camera is perfectly fine.
I think the Dual Camera stuff is pure gimmickry. It's cute for about 5 minutes.
It does not focus "out of focus" pictures. Everything has to be in focus like a normal shot and it then it can Defocus what you don't want.
Basically emulated Len Bokeh effect.
I never found the old EVO 3D to be gimmickry. It really worked and I just retired my wife's 3D to give her the old HTC One. She's bummed she is losing the 3D.
Problem with that 3D camera though is it was very slow and very hard to get shots in focus. But if you did or had enough light the 3D effect was pretty impressive.
One thing the second camera might do is help with focusing and focusing quick. That might not be gimmickry and possibly useful.
If HTC Marketed that instead, they might actually make a profit.
Coming from the s3 which has a great camera, I'm curious how the m8 camera's picture quality compares to it (as well as the s4 & s5) when it comes to just regular everyday photos. Even if they are larger "ultra pixels", 4mp seems pretty weak compared to other devices.

My M7 absolutely puts the Note 2's camera to shame.. So. Expect a big jump as compared to the S3. I also wasn't impressed with the S4's camera. My pics always looked better then my friends at the same events.
I don't expect much out of the S5 either.
Literally the only thing with 4mp, is that you cant crop or zoom in on your pictures. Even with that one flaw, its been my favorite camera of anything i've ever used.
I am not a good photographer and don't really mess with the camera settings at all.
