First non official Note 4 camera samples released (Not the fake ones from Samsung). Check it out: http://www.gamerheadlines.com/2014/...4-camera-samples-4k-video-samples-look-great/
They look pretty good, has anyone found an original 4k video recorded on the Note 4? Be interesting to see if the OIS is better than the G3's.
really promising
Is 4k 30fps or 15 like N3 ?
30fps
Nice... id like to see more lowlight shots. The N3 was pretty terrible and made everything look like the lens was covered in gel.

This is an area where the OIS will come in handy.
My Nexus 5 really put my GS4 to shame in low light, even though the GS4 was as good, if not better than the N5 in decent lighting. With the OIS the camera can use a slightly slower shutter speed to get a clearer image, without worrying about blurring the image as much, or having the increase the ISO to counteract the quicker shutter speed.

Depends how they implement it. The G2 was so bad it took five seconds to focus and everything was a blur, even video,because they relied on too low a shutter speed and OIS only helps so much.

You're right, it's no guarantee that it will be fantastic.
However, the Note 3 and S4/5 have been decent, although not fantastic in low light. So if we assume that the sensor/algorithms are at least as good as that on the Note 4 (although they'll most likely be a bit better!) and then throw the OIS on top of that, it should make for a better camera overall.
We'll have to wait and see for some proper reviews and user hands on feedback though!

N3 does 4k at 30 FPS, not 15.

Fuzzy and too much contrast
all pictures from front camera are fuzzy looking and facebook picture posts or videos are blurry and very poor quality. I come from Note 4 and I never saw this

I'm having this exact issue. My photos across all three cameras are blurry and full of noise. I have a G4 as well, and my photos come out perfect. Software glitch maybe?
...all of the cameras have lenses which are flush to the exterior
Try cleaning the lens' areas and make sure there are no protective films on them.
..just a thought

Why dont you answer?
I cant stand the front facing camera's. Terrible quality. So grainy. The rear camera is much better.

The front cameras are ok. The rear camera is awesome. I never seen such good camera on a phone. Comparable with a DSLR camera.
I have V10 H961N (rooted) and G4 H815(rooted) too. Exactly the same camera on both. The same quality. The software on V10 has more option than on G4 (almost on video)
The camera is not the worst I've seen but compared to Nexus 6p it's quite bad. Even G4 has better quality pictures, which is indeed strange. Most of the photos I take are blurry, or have weird edges around them. Even when it's a sunny day. I did expect a lot more, but I won't say the camera is complete sh*t.
Sounds like your lens is dirty.

It could be scratched too. I picked up a used V10 and had the same problem. The scratches weren't easily noticeable but when you looked in the right light you could see them. I ended up ordering a new lens and it works awesome again. I have new G4 I compared the pics with and they are pretty much identical. As for the 6P taking better photos it's close but no way. I had a 6P and the V10 takes much more realistic photos with less blur. There is no manual mode or OIS so good luck with the motion and night shots. After owning many phones this is the best camera hands down, second is the Note 5. I tried the S6, Note 4 and 5, Turbo and Turbo 2, MotoX Pure, 6P, G4 and the V10 within the last month or so along with a couple not worth mentioning.

LG V10
I come from the note 3 and barely took selfie because of the low quality in the low light and it's narrow angle. However, i am taking selfie with LG V10 while i am in vacation now and have convinced my parents that selfie sticks are not needed due to exception camera quality, so i am happy with the possibility it provides. Also, it clears my skin pretty good automatically
Processing is terrible for front facing camera. I'm sure the hardware can perform well, but all shots look extremely artificial. Even with beauty mode off.
IMHO if you're ugly no amount of camera hardware or software can make you look good, even at a beauty setting of 11...
On that note, I think my selfies looks decent enough. Where are you posting them anyways, doesn't each site downgrade the pictures' quaility anyways?
I agree with PsychDrummer. Plus coming from the S6, the S6 was more vibrant and crisp.
Compared to the G4, the front facing camera(s) are sort of lack-luster. Is there anything that can be done to improve quality?

I totally agree with the beauty mode it's a little too much even turn off like you said. I'm not a front-facing picture kind of guy these are just my 2 cents, simple software update should take care of this, other than that best phone I ever owned.
The selfie camera really sucks. Even with the smoothing turned all the way down.
I like it .... and I like the option to choose two different lenses when shooting.
Having the Glamour Feature is a win-win too.

Pretty bad
I think it is excellent, sharp and clear!
Sent from my 2PS64 using XDA-Developers mobile app
yes its bad, coming from a note 5.
its really good from m9. And love how there is a "flash" for selfies on the 10.
I think is great too, coming from a Galaxy S4
I have the m9 and my sister has the 10 and I have to say the m9 is way better in low light and looks better picture wise but in video the 10 is better
not use the front camera
Does the front camera autofocus?

I have noticed this also. This happens because you cant touch to focus in snapchat. The stock camera app can take amazing from facing photos when you can touch to focus. The auto focus doesnt kick in like it probably should =/
I think most of phone now including HTC 10, still have focusing issue in front camera.. hope they fix that
not bad, but not LG, Sony or Samsung quality.
I have the problem that the front facing cam only delivers sharp pictures while holding the cam no too far away. This even happens with the HTC camera app. When I hold my arm fully streched, the image is never 100% sharp. The view finder shows a sharp picture but the result is blurred. I really start to worry that my front facing lens might be broken. But if this was correct, the preview was also blurred, right?

This was officially fixed with 1.90.x.
Was fiddling with devcheck, and stumbled onto the tabs for front camera. It seems to me that the front camera is RAW capable. Can anybody confirm or deny this claim? If so, I would love some app recommendations that can squeeze out every ounce of RAW goodness from it. Thank you all in advance!

It was a Snapchat error. We have got it fixed finally by rating it bad on the Play Store and mentioning our problems while writing the reviews xD. Its wonderful now.
OR
Maybe the latest software update had to do something with that because Snapchat sucked big time for me, both front and back camera video and picture.
Hello yeah
I come from the m7 and I'm delighted of course by the quality.
I have a comparison had an s5 and s7 edge in comparison and grade videos made from a clear winner.
My favorite is, although I am also a fan of the s7, the m10.
Unfortunately, I was disappointed somewhat in poorer light conditions due to my high expectations.
Overall I am but more than happy with the cam
Absolutely terrible. So bad, in fact that its' one of the things that I'm jumping ship to another brand next time. They advertised this as having OIS and being special, but the focus range is whack because they went with a Samsung sensor that was having issues and the post processing is WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too aggressive. I find mid range and high end phones from like 3 years ago are better looking because they are actually in focus and don't look strangely digital.

With good lighting, the camera takes pictures comparable to the note 7. But the note 7 starts faster and focuses faster.

yeah I had the note 7 myself and completely agree what you said, except for the pic quality, I still found that the pics were better on the S7 edge/note 7 compared to the V20 I had , I loved my blue coral Note 7, but traded it in and got the V20 and realized I was wanting the camera opening quickness, better pics, led,AOD, wireless charging, and waterproofing(I kayak a lot), so I just returned my V20 for the sliver S7 Edge, then the next day I got the 100.00 bill credit for going back to Samsung, since I had the Note 7:good:
Yeah, I miss the note 7 camera (and stylus). With the note 7, I could actually start the camera and take a very quick shot through heavily tinted windows and it comes focused and great. I can't seem to do that with the v20..
Over all the camera is good.. But it falls behind over the Samsung ones. I'll keep this though and wait for the note 8...
Wonder how the Mate 9 camera will compare.
My wife's relatives were in town. For the first time, my wife let me take pics with my device. She didn't really like the quality on the Note 4, but she did trust the LG V20. Pics came out great. YMMV of course... lighting, conditions, settings. But Auto Mode does a pretty good job.
What would everyone recommend for the HDR Settings? Auto, On, or Off?
I've tried a bit of testing... The only time manual was better for me was when I lowered the iso and took a longer shutter speed to lessen grain. But auto does a good job.
What I don't like is when you zoom in. Then everything seems like a water color painting. Although my wife's iPhone 6 does the same when you zoom in. I'm not sure.. But I don't think the note 7 did that....
Can you post sample photos?
Took this with the v20 wide angle camera and have to say I am quite impressed. Shot the phone with manual mode and HDR on.
Here are a few photos I've taken with the regular lens, HDR, and 4:3 16MP.
Both photos have a decent amount of light in them, but I thought they turned out pretty well.
P. S. Sorry for them being sideways
Thanks
Capable of taking some good photos, but this is the most inconsistent phone i've ever owned. Photos are grainy when they have no reason to be (more than sufficient lighting). Shutter speed drops to 1/9 most of the time, causing huge blurry messes.
They need to send an update out to fix this, zero reason this sensor/lense should have these issues. My g5 takes much better photos in nearly all situations

do all photos look like an oil painting when you even slightly zoom in or is it just me?? would this even be possible to fix with a software update in the future?

Yes, I noticed this too..But then I went to a Samsung store and tested the s7..and it was similar. I don't remember that hastening to my note 7 though...unless I'm mistaken
I think the camera is terrible on the V20. Its okay in bright light, but even indoor lighting it struggles with. Everytime I try to grab a photo of my son I regret buying this phone.
Very disappointed in the camera
I took advantage of the T-Mobile S6 trade in while I really liked my camera on the S6 I was ready for an improvement and it was a toss up between the s7 or the v20 for a free trade in I couldn't pass it up. Problem is since I gave my S6 away I cant replace my V20 with the S7 or anything else Im stuck with it I can return it within the 15 days but that wouldn't help my situation I believe since I got the free bill credit trade in from the S6.
Apparently I made the wrong decision based upon the camera it's terrible! I've tried every setting manual or auto every lighting condition and I can confirm like the others here grainy or blurry photos. Only great lighting will yield decent photos but not one photo so far is even better than my S6 sadly. Is this maybe cause its the t mobile variant? Other reviews online and photos I've seen I Was impressed.
This camera went backwards for me. Everything else about the phone I really like however this camera which is my #1 priority is ****. If I zoom in I see the water painting look. If I use the front camera all pics look like a water painting without even zooming in. One thing I did notice is the wide angle lens the color accuracy looks better than the regular lens in auto and it's less grainy WTF! I've tried 4:3 and 16:9 does not make a difference. pissed about this. T-Mobile said there surprised by this but reading here obviously I'm not the only one seeing this. T mobile said they would look at it and if they see what I'm saying they could replace the phone with another V20 but what will that do? is this maybe a t mobile specific issue? will a software update fix this?
Yes low.light pictures suck
Has anyone tried turning off HDR? I've been reading the forums on reddit and by turning off HDR, the quality of the photos, according to the users, increased tenfold. So, that's definitely something to try.
