Can someone take a low light test shot please? - Nexus 5 General

Considering getting N5 for the wife. One of the main reasons she uses a smart phone is the camera. My S4 takes HORRID low light shots. They are more noisy than girls when Justin Beiber shows up at a middle school.
http://patentlystupid.com/sw/2013-10-05%2014.40.31.jpg is a good example, as you can see the subject is darker than the background the phone was stabilized on the arm of my chair I was sitting in and there has been nothing else changed about the pic. How does the N5 do in low light situations?
Thanks!

Under my desk at work before sunrise. Too dark to read under there.
Edit: I tried to take a comparison shot with my Nexus 4, but it was mostly blotches of black.

Took this one last night after sunset. Hdr+ was turned on. Honesty I think the camera is quite good for low light still photos. Much better than my note 2.

So far its looking like low light is as noisy as S4. I was hoping with the lower res camera there would be other camera improvements. Hmm...

Best low light camera I am blown away

Just a random shot.
The camera produces very usable images and i'm an amateur photographer with a Canon 5D.
yes, just a ratio problem with 720p video, but picture are good (for a smartphone)

Thanks for sharing pics buddy. Looks really good. What about pics in low light conditions.
I think if you play captured video in quick time thr is no issue with it and to me it seems software issue which can be easily fixed in next update (hopefully LG do that).
Low light quality is just like every other small sensor phone camera, mostly crap. With an imaging sensor so small, you will not get close to real camera quality anytime soon.
I think the camera in the Black is just the average smartphone quality. There might be slightly better ones and slightly worse, but it's still just a smartphone.

The back in white might be okay... But personally I think the white in the front kills the whole look and makes the onscreen buttons stick out like a soar thumb...

Inverted colours FTW!!
Obvious photoshop. Shadows don't work that way
looks like photoshop to me.
Inverted OP image:
concludiing that it's just the normal Nexus 4 promo image in inverted colour, minus the screen which has been kept the same. Still, a white Nexus 4 could look quite classy.

[Q] Possible to abandon UltraPixels boosting the camera resolution of HTC One?

I have got the HTC One from the end of May. But I still have some questions on my phone's "UltraPixels" Camera.
I wonder whether this technology is a software adjustment or a hardware settings?
4 MegaPixels should be all right for daily usage, but I always like to pinch to zoom my photos while browsing.
HTC One failed to reveal some details in the picture comparing to Samsung GS4 or Sony Xperia Z. I want to ask if it is possible to abandon the UltraPixels technology to boost the camera resolution to 8MP or even 13MP? Any app can do it?
Attaching my photo taken using ultraPixel HTC One at Hong Kong IFC Centre!

I believe it's hardcoded into the sensor that it only uses 4 mp for the image, while the rest of the pixels on the sensor used solely for exposure and gathering light

The phone only has 4 megapixels
They are larger than your regular phone megapixels, there isn't separate sensors for gathering light since that's how all camera work in the first place.
So to the OP, no.. Do some research on how these things work. Really.

You need to learn how to take pictures with the One because the pictures you have posted are terrible quality and the first is washed out. You're always best to focus on the sky and underexpose the rest of the shot and then edit in Photoshop or something because the quality of pictures I've taken are way, way, way better than them lol

Lens flare

Well, it seems that not only the Pixel suffers from lens flare...
Today I tried my op3t camera for the first time in low light condition and... the flare is there.
I'm attaching a picture, you can clearly see the 5 spots on the left of the lamp.
Does it do the same to you? As far as I understand it's a common problem between cameras.
Any way to avoid, or at least reduce it?
Thanks

There are some camera apps (like DSLR) where you can change the ISO, most of the time when you change to a high ISO value the flare would be less seen

Just tried it and it works. The thing that bothers me is that everytime there is an artificial light there is a flare...
I'm not an expert here but I think a lot of phones exhibit this. My wife's s6 edge plus has weird light retractions in low light.

Yes. Most phones have it. It largely has to do with the lens attached to the phone. I've had more success on phones such as the Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra. Use such phones and go into manual mode. In all cases I was able to eliminate the lens flare. Too bad I had to switch to the 3T which is a better phone but poor shooter. Can't find a way to eliminate it there yet.
You captured a UFO! No way! Lol. Anyways my experience with low light conditions has been great. This is at a party. So clear I can zoom in to the musicians faces clearly absolutely 0 editing. With Snapseed I can lower the brightness of the lights overhead

The camera may be a lacking in whatever technical way, but the viewfinder on the main display makes taking pictures SO much more enjoyable. I literally don't think I can go back to shooting shots on a normal candybar phone.
My car is an odd bit of gray/blue but the accuracy is on point with the Bixby enhancements turned off. Wide angle shots are equally as awesome as the shots on the main lens.
Quality can't be assessed because xda forums just compress the files, but I'm enjoying the overall experience immensely!
