Indeed, I think it's good enough and if you don't take pictures during a video the quality is even better.

HDR must be automatically disabled as turning it on/off manually makes no difference to burst speeds.
Stills settings on NORMAL
HDR on =12mp top resolution (4:3 3920x2940) or 9mp (16:9 3920x2204)

Burst mode is different again. Hold the button and it'll keep taking photos. What you want is a low shutter lag.. which is the delay between pressing the button and getting a photo. This depends very much on the camera hardware and the app driving it - it's very possible for one android phone to be slow and another very fast.
Rest assured this should be good... who do you think makes the iphone camera modules that you like so much

Being slow isn't a bug it's a feature A feature called auto focus. When you click the camera button it first try to focus on the object it's facing before actually taking a pic. Try disabling it and you could use your camera to shoot like using a machine gun
And yeah burst mode is something similar to what I explained in a single click.

Probably it could be done 1600x1200 (2MP) is more than HD resolution (1280x720), but you have to remember, that there is some hardware involved, I remember playing with some webcam drivers back in college, and although I did managed to capture high resolution video (for that time VGA), it looked choppy like hell

What about electronic limitations? The CCD used in the camera might require a couple of miliseconds to actually capture the light, and then send it via the wire to the CPU. If either the CCD can't capture it fast enough, or the channel is not fast enough, you're not going to get 30 FPS no matter what magic you use in your software. That's why you have to wait for ever between shots on cheap compact digital cameras, and hardcore DSLR cameras can take snaps for a few tens of times per second.

Not all sensors can record in HD. Just because it has adequate resolution doesn't mean it can capture images fast enough to generate HD.

well...ur answer has an "yes" and a "no".
i agree all sensors cannot record HD but i disagree with the resolution problem.
video recording resolution (480p, 720p, etc) depends on the resolution of the recording camera but more importantly the "shutter speed". i feel the glitch is in the 2nd part, i.e., the shutter speed.
don't know exactly, but i feel there is a very slim remote chance if any DEV takes this seriously.

Just to be clear, you're talking about the frame rate of the sensor, not the shutter speed.
The frame rate is the number of frames the camera takes in a second.
The shutter speed is the amount of time it takes for the camera to take each frame.

Highest quality, image stabilization on, auto mode. Just play with it, it has iso and exposure settings too. I have taken some really sweet long exposure shots with it propped up on a rock that look like they've been taken with slow exposure film.

Mine goes to 12.8MP (4128x3096). I did notice it didn't do 4k video recording, but I can't find any third-party apps that do that. Does it maybe vary device to device? Might be worth trying out... I know the max MP stated for the Note 3 is 13 but for all I know that's an averages thing. I don't mind losing 0.2MP, since for all I know the full 13 is like I said just raising up.
so my question is if i set the Full Sensor' option in lapst it app my record will be in 4k or just 1080p?

Umm, a Time Lapse is generally made with full resolution photographs.
This has nothing to do with the device's video capabilities necessarily.
The reason why devices can't record full resolution video is because it needs to shoot many frames (photographs) per second. However if you take a time lapse, you only need to take, say, one photograph per couple of seconds. Which is perfectly possible with our device.
So yes, if you're creating a time lapse you could actually make a 20.7 megapixel video, much more detailed than 4K video even (recall that 4K is usually 3840x2160 - making it 8 megapixels in resolution per frame)!

If you make a video using the full sensor, 20.7 megapixels, you would get a video of 5248x3936 with a 4:3 aspect ratio. 3936p perhaps, which is a little higher than your usual 1080p or 2160p (a.k.a. 4K).
However, I doubt the app on your phone could process that (not sure). Using software on your PC you should be able to (check Google for more info). Also, I doubt anything will be able to even playback this kind of video.
It could however be useful for downscaling (converting your insanely high res video to 'only' Full HD), to make sure your 1080p video looks perfectly crisp and clear.
What specs does the N6 offer in turns of slow motion video capturing?
Bump. I have the same question. Seems that none of the reviews explored the camera settings. Any update on this?
Everything I have seen has said that it takes video at 30fps
As far as I know, slow motion requires more frames per second. So I'm thinking that's a no on slow-mo. I could be wrong though.
The only spec i see is 4k @30fps.
I hope the stock camera app will allow for 1080P or 720P at either 60, 120, or 240fps. This is really a make or break decision for me, but seeing as though there are no frame rate specs for the other resolutions yet I will probably just have to buy it and see. I'm sure the devs will have at it if it does not come factory, although I hope it comes stock.
I found this quote at techtimes.com, If true I hope for at least 720p @60fps+
"The Google Nexus 6 uses a 13-megapixel rear camera with OIS (opitcal image stabilization), dual-LED flash, autofocus, 4K video recording @ 30 fps, 1080p video @ 30 fps, and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera."

Even my 2 year old Note 2 does slow motion video but the Note 4 slow motion still does not capture audio with the slow mo video or do it as well as the iPhone sadly. It would be great if the Nexus 6 could do slow mo with audio & had some cool video effects like the Note line..:good:

Agreed. Since the api allows for developers to gain access to it like never before I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we see it. If I'm not mistaken the one plus one phone has slowmo recording and it uses the same camera. It's just something that needs to be implemented in the software.

Even the reviewers in many of the reviews that came out yesterday seemed surprised at how basic the camera app on the N6 is. RAW capture is the big new thing with L but the camera app doesn't capture it. Either Google has a big update in store or developers will find their own way. There have already been numerous example improvements shown with lcamera.
Anyone with a device in hand yet try any 3rd party camera apps?
You have to remember the guy who posted about the api'$ and taking raw pics it was with nexus 5 and a camera app he wrote ... won't be long b
efore some apps have it though i am sure
Here is his git hub so his camera can be used
https://github.com/PkmX/lcamera/
Here is the write up
http://www.androidauthority.com/nexus-5-lollipop-camera-api-samples-540858/
since it has the same camera as the one plus, would installing the camera apk from it possibly bring slowmo recording or will it have to be written into the frame working?

Double Bump. The answer to this question is what will decide whether I buy a nexus 6 or a note 4.
---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------
Can someone with a nexus 6 try the app 'Open Camera' by Mark Harman (hopefully not the actor ) and hit the settings (gear) icon, Photo and video settings, Video frame rate, change it to 60 or 120 and then record a video. In theory this should bump the video up to a higher frame rate and then playback should be slow motion. Just a guess here but it is worth a try. Also I doubt this app is using the new 5.0 APIs so it may not be a true test.
Edit: better yet try this app that is designed for the 5.0 API. https://github.com/PkmX/lcamera

Cool suggestion; just tried the Open Camera app and video recorded at 720p with 120 FPS enabled but the playback appeared normal on device. I'm going to try and run the video on my PC and see if I can find if it actually recorded in 120. I'll also try that other app and get back to you.

Cool! Keep me informed.
I tried the open camera as well as that L camera, I was able to change the framerate in the settings but it still records at 30 fps so no luck there sadly! I really hope we can get a slow motion app working someday, it's an awesome tool from time to time.
