I always liked the shots my SGS2 took and the Focus S seems to be using the same camera.11-15-2011 09:14 AMLike 0 - Here's a pretty good camera comparison that includes the Titan, iPhone 4s, and Galaxy S2. If we can assume that the Focus S has the same camera as the GS2 and that the processing on WP7 isn't weird, it looks like this phone should be doing pretty well (as evidenced by my shots).
Pretty disappointed in the Titan's results, especially given how much they hyped the camera.

She doesn't use it on vacation anymore since she got her N8. The Nokia N8 (which I hope they make a Nokia WP N8) is the best out there for phone cameras:

- Ok the first one is ridiculous. I could clearly read the Modern Warfare is back flier, Man how do you get such great phones without the phone compresing them to garbage? :O

- Probably R&D + QA for the lense keeps it difficult? I know a decent camera system needs space for the lense, at least. I dunno, maybe it takes good software, too.11-18-2011 10:48 AMLike 0

- ^ those look great!! really want one now. ><
and for people who want to look at more samples, check out Twitpic / MicrosoftStore
most of the recent pics are taken by the Focus S. some are by the Focus and u can definitely see the differences without looking at the exif. :]- Share

Significantly better than I thought, after the notedly poor indoor performance.11-19-2011 10:08 PMLike 0 - Better than my attemps on a D3100 :( I think I just need to fiddle around with the M settings more. But it was raining, my Transformer was out of batteries, and my Vaio SA doesn't like the weather. Buy the time I got out later, it was severely overcast, which made taking decent pics rather hard. I think I'll upload those later, when I get a better internet connection :)11-20-2011 12:32 AMLike 0

- Overall opinion, it's good, but not great. I remember my galaxy SII being a smidgen better, so it may be the software at fault; however, I got to play with a HTC Vivid during this trip, and say... it bests the camera on the Focus S, by a fair, and uncontested, margin. The HTC's advantage is even more pronounced indoors and during darker scenes, likely due to the smaller aperature of the Focus S (f2.8 vs f2.2 of recent HTC phones, iirc - for reference, iPhone 4S is f2.4).
Also, all depend on the skill of the photographer, and honestly.... I'm not very good :(
Note: press F5 a couple of times to get all of the thumbnails loaded up, some web browsers have a tendancy of timing out large workloads on slower connections.
also direct links (sorry, I didn't merge them like my other post)

Sent from my SGH-i937 using Board Express11-28-2011 01:44 PMLike 0 - my focus s finally came in the mail yesterday and ive been playing around with the camera ^^ and im impressed :D
snap a pic while walking, i didn't do any half-press focus, i think it auto-focused alrdy when i pressed down the camera button;
capturing my cat moving around;
and im reallllly impressed, my HTC Surround could never capture still pics of my cat moving, her head will be blurred or i could never see her face, and i mean she moves alot. (even tho shes kinda fat as u can see ;)) the Focus S could actually capture it and it turns out to be a clear pic! it may also be because of the anti-shake option :] i just checked the exif of my other pics and the shutter speed can go up to 1/1818 sec!
played with the macro for a bit. tho there arnt many flowers blossoming at this time of the year.. XD
and took some pics of the new iQ :D
^ this one is taken by my brother. he also has a Focus S. :] [setting: high saturation, anti-shake]
note; all settings are default besides the anti-shake is on and that i bumped the contrast to high instead of normal, so the noise is more noticeable in my pics but i still like it better with the contrast set to high XD;
and imgur has resized my photos >:[
--edit--
more photos today
snap this in the car when it was going 70 mph, from lockscreen to camera. :]
indoor macro pic
some outdoor pics
--edit again--
front camera quality;
same pic but w rear camera;
