Hi all,
I am currently owning Sony Xperia P and I am thinking about an upgrade to SP. But one problems remain. Camera.
I have read a ton of reviews and it seems that camera is producing pictures with a lot of noise and that the camera of older model P, is actually, better.
I have seen that people say that some custom roms and mods solve this issue, but nothing concrete.
Can you please tell me your experiences with camera? Is it really that bad? Any of the updates solved the problem?
thanks

I'm using the Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition camera (gallery app) and this solves any problem with the camera(you can use it on stock and all other roms), from autofocus to noise. So I'd say dont worry about it and get this amazing phone!
Produces great pictures. But besides that, it still is a phone, not a professional camera hehe.

Can you put here some samples of photos taken with stock camera and this S4 camera? Some in dim conditions and some in bright conditions. You know. Some kitchen photos, some landscape with blue sky, etc...
thanks !

No.
Edit: There is other threads about this and not only on XDA. Look before asking or get a real camera.
its true that the camera of Xperia SP is not that good compared to XP or S3.
the pictures are very noisy and yellowish and in low light the camera get more worse.
i have also tried S4 play edition camera, camera 360, moto x camera but no major difference.
Loving my new moto g. The camera has improved in many ways when compared to gen1. However, whenever I click pictures with the front camera especially when not in sunlight the picture comes shaky and blur. I attached a screenshot of how the pic is supposed(screenshot in the camera app) to come n how it ends up coming.
P.s.- I don't have shaky hands
Probably the front camera aperture is not wide enough to take pictures with faster shutter in low light situations. If it sets the shutter speed too low a minimal shake will make your pic blur.
Edit :Can you see what ISO, aperture and shutter speed is being used (check picture details)?
Front camera is one of the worst components on android phones...
Even the rear camera is not that great on the majority of android phones, so nothing to expect that on the new moto g that the front camera would be anything better...

Does it improve even the front facing camera ? Could someone please upload a picture taken with the Google Camera and one with the Stock Camera app so we can check the differences ;D ?

It would take you a second to do the same thing. Don't be lazy m8.
Sadly mine isn't here yet (on pre-order in UK, releases on the 15th. My original Moto G broke a couple of days ago too so it was just as well this is releasing.)
I have a problem with the front camera. In low light condition, my camera suffers a delay in comparison of reality, as if it was lag. Anyone else with this same problem?

I would do it if mine was with me. Still didn't receive it.
Once I get my hands on it I'll do it and post it here ;D

Am I the only one who is experiencing laggy zoom both in and out?
Rear camera is jumping from 1.0x to 1.2x, 1.4x etc. creating a laggy experience.
It's not a big deal while taking pictures, but if you are recording you can actually see that your footage is totally destroyed if you zoomed in while recording.
With front camera it's a little bit better, but it's only since it goes from 1.0x to 1.1x, 1.2x, 1.3x, it's still lacking some kind of animation to smooth it out.
Did I get a poor unit of Huawei P20 Pro or is it like this for everyone?
Also do someone know if Huawei is planning to fix it? Since return policy is valid for 14 days, if they won't fix that I am gonna return the phone.

I wouldn't call the zoom laggy, and I think they have done it this way so you can achieve your desired zoom level faster rather than have it smoothed out and be slow. You could probably download a camera app from the Playstore which would do the smooth zooming though.
Snapchat has the same problem. The zoom is laggy
It's because it's changing the camera to the telephoto lens from your regular lens. The third lens is just a monochrome lens.
Apparently this problem is fixed in the beta
Me too
I currently have this problem too. Instagram, Snapchat and even the official camera app zoom looks laggy and slow. Currently using firmware version 8.1.0.133
The same on 8.1.0.154. Is it possible to turn off all lenses excepting one which you want to use? I think it could fix the problem with zooming.

This is the feature that we all wanted and have the ability to shoot raw on the lenses individually I think but i dont know if Huawei is doing something about it
Hey, guys. I've received my M9L two weeks ago and I've noted the front camera doesn't seal. Anyone can say if it is a software or a hardware issue? I've tested Open Camera app and looks like factory app. Please, help me. I need to talk with the Huawei Store about that but I don't know if this can be the firmware version or what.
That might be because our front camera has a fixed focus ( for better selfies as they claim). So the camera will only focus on your face and nothing else.
If it's not even focusing on your face you might have to visit the service center( probably might be a hardware issue but who knows.)
Also try updating or rolling back updates too.

If it was a software problem, another camera app would not solve the problem? Anyway, I already have installed a update (8.0.0.133) and nothing changed.

So the camera is not even detecting your face?
If it defects it'll automatically focus on your face. Like I've told the camera will only focus on faces and nothing else.

It recognizes the face, but can't focus. The picture doesn't get out much, doesn't seem a 13 mp camera. And nothing like the reviews I have ever seen.

Then maybe it's the lighting but who knows and megapixels don't determine photo quality much. The camera is decent but not up to the mark as advertised specially in low lights.
All the reviews have taken photos in good lighting conditions.
Also try disabling beauty mode that might also help a bit

Yeah, I know that. I have record a video with frontal camera. As you can see, the camera does not focus on the book.

That's how the camera is made to work.
The camera will only ONLY focus properly on your face.
Nothing else matters to the front camera other than your face.
So all other objects might not be in focus. There's nothing wrong with your camera as much as I see . (Well who am I to judge ?)
Hi, bought the phone 2 days ago, because it's not with 888, it's not with curved display and has a ultra wide camera with AF and macro capabilities with raw support.
To my surprise, the quality of the raw file from the ultra wide is worse than from the periscope - there are some strange bright dots when you zoom in to 100%, which lead to overall bad quality of the ready image. I guess they are the phase focus pixels, but they shouldn't be visible without any heavy editing.
So, is it just me, or the problem is global, so I know how to proceed with this? I'm leaving a crop depicting the problem.
Are you sure the ultra wide angle has AF? but yeah it looks weird...

That's why I chose this phone, for the af of the ultra wide.
I don't see it mentioned anywhere but as you have the phone you should know it better than me!

You are right, the Edge 20 review on GSMArena mentions the AF for wide angle. A good thing, but it's strange that the ultra wide angle pictures seem a bit blurry then. Did you try with Gcam?
Not yet.

Tried gcam, same story...
Which Gcam version you use? Try enabling Sabre and see if it makes a difference.
I tried the latest bsg, but removed it, cause the results weren't satisfactory or better than using the stock app as a real camera.

Hey did you manage to solve this issue? Any suggestions for the lackluster RAW outputs from the stock camera app??
The battle is legendary. Still no success defeating the defect. If it is a demozaicing problem, Motorola should fix it.

THanks for the reply. I wonder how happy you are overall with the cameras? I've found that the front facing one is quite dark and has WB issues. In general the photos coming out of the stock camera seem riddled with artifacts and oversharpened.

Camera Is great as I see in reviews from owners and websites .
I don't even bother shooting in jpg, this is Motorola and they suck in camera performance and resolution logic.
But, I shoot raw, which is possible even with the selfie cam, and after a minute of editing I get sharp and impressive images, and that's why I bought it - the sensors itself are quite capable. If I find a solution to the problem with the ultrawide, the phone is a keeper...

I actually own it. Reviews and (average) owners don't understand what we're talking about. Some offence.

Learn to make your own jpg and you'll be able to see the dirt in your wrinkles on the selfies.

Answered already here. Jpg from phones and actual cameras suck. The raw from gcam is also worse than using the phone as a real camera. Here's an example, learn photography if you expect miracles from a tiny sensor...

Hasli's LMC Google camera mod seems to be working better with the wide angle cam (no artifacts)
