Nikon Coolpix s6200
10x optical zoom
Nikon quality low light images
Sony Cyber-shot m630
5x optical zoom
Samsung mv800
5x optical zoom
If I had to choose one of them, I'd go with the Nikon

Thanks above but was looking for something more in terms of technical . Not just about zoom. Coolpix is out of the running now due to when using camcorder and zoom you can hear on playback the zoom sound like a drill

Well with cameras that small, there's not a lot of technical difference.
The higher optical zoom is always better than digital zoom.
Nikon has reports of excellent low light pictures.
I've got a canon sx210is with 14x optical zoom, Jessops are doing it now for £149 so it's probably available elsewhere for less.
I bought it as a 40m dive enclosure is available for it.
I also got a slip on extension tube that allows you to use filters.
The low light abilities of the camera really impressed me.
This video was taken on a dark boat during a dark overcast day. The only lights that were on are the coloured disco ones shooting around
I took this out the front a few nights ago when we had snow. Only street lighting was used.

It all depends what you want to use it for.
If you just want a point and shoot to take snaps, then go for the cheapest one of the bunch.

That's some funky dancing lol. Thanks for the answer.

[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

New Camera app for XZ

So many XZ users not happy with the Stock camera quality.. ues me too..

Naaah... I didn't like it at all.. horrible UI also picture quality is not that great. Need perfect camera app? here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neaststudios.procapture Nothing can come close to this app. From my tests this app takes picture with less noise in low light conditions ofcourse if your camera settings are correct, so good luck.

Actually my thoughts are that pic quality is not in the app you use but in the libs from Sony, so all the apps around the market offer exactly the same quality. I've made my own test over quite a long time and that's my conclusion.
The best of pro capture is that you can choose night scene or night portrait scene modes and tweak exposition values higher than stock app, which allows you to get more light (getting iso up) in slow speed shooter, so you can get the best quality in low light.
For example, in night scene in pro capture, you can set eV to +2 and get up to 1/2s iso 400 pic, while in stock camera the max is 1/2s iso 100, and if you want the amount of light in stock camera at normal (mode), iso goes up to 1600. If you compare a 400 iso pic with a 1600 iso one, que difference in image quality is impressive.
"A better camera" sports some interesting shooting modes we've seen in Samsung or Nokia phones, which make this app interesting. Also the night mode (working at 3.x mpx) could be interesting, but still I prefer my pro capture pics...

An example (all pics taken hand shooting, no tripod or another holding) :
Pic 1.Pro Capture. Night scene
Pic 2.pro capture. Night portrait.
Pic 3.pro capture. Reduced Noise mode activated. Night scene.
Pic 4.pro capture. Reduced Noise activated. Night portrait.
Pic 5. A better camera. Night mode.

Poor Camera Quality at Night

I find the camera on the Note 5 is wonderful but lately I've noticed some issues in night conditions that are disappointing. I have a ton of streak artifact. Best way to describe it is to just look at the photos below. I wanted to take some nice photos of my two rides and came back disappointed.
I took photos with THREE different camera phones and none of those did what the Note 5 did. Any thoughts?
Galaxy Note 5 set first, followed by my AOSP G3, and the last shot is with an older generation iPhone.
Note 5 set to auto mode. I tried tweaking things with other settings and nothing could get rid of those streaks.
Imaging quality overall goes to the Note 5 but those artifacts make it unbearable. Is there something wrong in software? Is it a dirty lens issue (and if so how do I successfully clean it)? Is this a hardware problem that I should try and warranty?
Only modification to the photos posted was I dropped the resolution for easier viewing.
GALAXY NOTE 5

Obviously image quality goes down but those streaks certainly don't show up anymore.

factory reset is the last resort, try other apps like camera MX or camera FV5, if the same results occur, then the problem is either firmware or something in the sensor.
Clean your lens, rule number 1.
You try and apply the camera mod to increase jpeg quality a bit, but first do what i mentioned above and report back soldier!

That's all lens.

Is there any chance that you installed a rear screen protector for the camera?
If not and cleaning the lens doesn't solve this, then there's nothing you can do, besides eliminating those flares manually in ps or something.
Lens flare is quite common, espeically at large aperture lens such as the one which located in this phone, but these are quite severe and might be caused by lens misalignment or another defect. I'll try to shoot some lamp posts at night and see what's going on with my unit.

welp...tiny...T-I-N-Y scratch I can see over the camera...unreal. I'm guessing that's it. At least in day time it only happens in direct light. Here's an example with it showing and one without it showing...
Flair over blue car...
As long as I play angles enough it seems to get out of the view entirely. I guess I'll be learning a new way to take photos from now on... :/

You can probably get the camera lens replaced without burning your wallet, might want to look into that. The Note 5 definitely took better photos than the G3, ignore the lens defects. The difference there is insane.

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
