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.

I always thought that was the JJ Abrams light flare edition camera....

Crap, beat me to it!
It only says in certain lighting conditions. Not necessarily a big deal for me.

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.

I just tries taking a similar picture. I don't get that :/ there's just a little purple bit next to the light on the top. Look at the attachment.

Finding a reason to hate the phone because you couldn't get one? Kinda bitter...

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.

Bull****. Mine Galaxy nexus and previous Galaxy S2 didn't have such issues at all. Camera supposed to be premium I'm paying for high end phone class at least.

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...

Test
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.

You'd have to think the camera would suck, seeing how AOSP has never really been known for it's camera quality before you even try taking pics with a 4MP lens.

in all honesty this time around there isn't much that sense is doing to make these pictures look amazing. The aosp camera in cm10.1 has been producing amazing shots for me and not to mention its heck of a lot faster at taking them. Sense camera app is meh.

I personally wouldn't buy it I think sense 5 is awesome and plus there would be no beats so I'll stay put

Faster? There's literally no discernible lag between taking pictures on sense how is that possible?

CM10.1 is able to take the pictures before you take the phone out.

Sense takes photos at 8 frames a second if you hold down the button, that's 125ms between shots. Human reaction time is on average 150-300ms. You literally couldn't hit the button faster if you wanted to, the Sense camera's so fast.

CM 10.1 literally goes back in time and takes the shot you missed.

better yet, an out of box option that allows you to quickly demo each (AOSP vs Sense) and download your choice for install
:crying: y i can't haz it now?!

This would be great but I fear, much as it is with the AOSP GS4 that such an HTC beast will be GSM only. That is the thing starting to tee me off is being chained to a CDMA network.
Quick edit, not really chained to a CDMA network. Just being a Kansas City person, and having many friends and family that work for Sprint I like to support them as much as I can. Further having said friends and family help me get a better deal than I could get anywhere else.

Just because that's reaction time doesn't mean you can't click eight times per second. I'm a drummer and I can hit far more than eight times per second.

This is one of the main reasons why I left Sprint couple months ago. I love the ability to flash International base ROM's and US ROM's. It also seems overall development for GMS phones is a lot more popular than CDMA base phone. I also love the ability to be able to try out different carriers while still keeping my phone.
The days of the original Evo has long come and went. I can pretty much guarantee you'll never see a CDMA Base phone get as much development support is that one.

Can CM 10.1 for the One take a photo faster than 125ms after pressing the button? If so, how is it a "heck of a lot faster" taking pics when a couple weeks ago they couldn't figure out how to take full resolution pictures? You're approaching the threshold of your reaction time hitting the shutter button taking longer than the picture being captured and saved.

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.

X-Ray Image Nexus 5

Hi,
I made a X-Ray image from my Google Nexus 5 @ 75kV. 8mA, three different contrast settings.
NFC, Qi charge coil, accu, cameras, speaker... readily identifiable.
Furthermore the high absorbtion of the ceramic power button and volume rocker.
Have fun!

Hmm, I'm thinking something different... I was looking for something suitable to use as a drive icon, for when the phone is plugged in to the computer. I think this might be it!

This is really cool - and yeah, some high-res images for wallpapers would be grand.
Even better, use it as a background for the N5 cropped to the right resolutions.

OK, CT scan next

I will check tomorrow if I it is possible to take a picture in higher resolution.

Hi Guys,
here an other one, combinated two pictures with a bit more sharpness.
A higher resolution is not possible with the hardware I get here, sorry for that! I think i could record a new image playing around with the camera frequency (=focus level) but i dont want to x-ray my phone 20 times to get an image which is a little bit less blurred.
regards

Thx. Makes for a great background.

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.
