It's obvious why this test is soo much better than other tests. The camera is mounted on a dolly so it doesn't exhibit the extreme wobble effect when using shaky hands. But there is still that evident in the not so smooth motion.
Nice to see the full-quality video like what they showed at the unveiling event! The quality is pretty excellent with time lapse and the rig that you used; that makes me happy :). That being said, however, I've read about a dozen reviews from different web sites, and in taking still photos and handheld videos it seems that the Nexus fares poorer compared to the Galaxy SII series (especially in indoor shots, where photos appear faded). You win some, and you lose so. Overall though, great phone!
@dhns555 your a fucking idiot. This is on the Samsung and Google event. When they launched the device and that's there new feature that an iPhone 4s does not have dickhead.
This is where the closing scene to the 1971 movie "Harold and Maude" was shot. That's the hill that Harold drove the car off the cliff. Pacifica is10 miles south of San Francisco and where I grew up...
@JamesL0717 and u believe that Chi.! thats Fake look in youtube a cam quali of SGN in front of the sun its terrible,but here is no shining in the camera.....FAKE FAKE and again FAKE the Iphone 4s Sample Video is FAKE too.
@CM7MOD Considering how they SHOWED us filming with it in the manner I already stated, I'd say it's pretty believable. What evidence do you have on the contrary?
To the people saying the A5 is slower, you are right. BUT, the A5 has the best best best Mobile GPU on the market. Nothing can beat the SGX 543 MP2 right now.
My almost 3 year old Samsung Innov8 has an 8MP camera, and tbh the sensor is nowhere near capable of filling in the details of 8MP, and so there ends up being a horrible amount of noise. So I'm elated with the 5MP, 0 shutter lag and improved sensor. It will really give meaning to "point and shoot".
Wow, keeps getting better and better. Along with the iPhone 4S, I think the market for cameras will struggle within 2-3 years. The smartphone will become our only camera.
How much do you think this phone will cost flat out? Plus I wanna sell my nexus s for 200 and then gather some money to buy this phone... I wanna smash my homies phone the galaxy 2 and I think this will do so.
@angryGTS Thank you for explaining this to people. Ignorant idiots think that megapixels are all that means anything. It has more to do w/ the lenses + light sensors
@ilovemesomechicken 1. The droid phone is a brand by verizon, the operating system is called android, you tard. 2. How many viruses have you gotten on your iphone? None. You know why? Because even if you had a virus, it would be pointless considering it couldn't do anything with your phone because its so locked down by apple. I have yet to see anyone with a virus on android phones. Not to mention you can't get it by surfing the internet or downloading apps off of the market. 3rd party apps maybe
@Newbkilla13 1. Your retarded, droid is a brand on verizion yes but it is also short for android moron. 2, You can get viruses on your phone from surfing the internet amd downloading apps so once again your retarded. Your clearly 12 if you think phones cant and dont get viruses from surfing the internet. The ps3 can get virsuses for Gods sake. You are a moron
@Newbkilla13 You can get virus on iPhone, especially when you jailbreak it. Most virus and spywares come from downloading random crap from online, not from downloading from the market. Those people who complain about virus go to sites like 4shared and download paid apps, and if you jailbreak your iphone and download the same thing, you get it too. iOS is not some kind of operating system made from god like you iSheeps like to believe.
@ilovemesomechicken android devices have had 8mp cameras for a while now and the A5 processor is clocked at 800mhz while this is has 1.2gb processor and yes both OS have been optimized for the hardware on the iphone and the galaxy nexus. prick.
@ilovemesomechicken The A5 Chip? Oh, you mean that piece of crap processor that apple shoved into the 4S, the 800mhz underclocked dual core processor.. what a joke.. and 8 megapixels.. sigh the iPhone 4 took WAY better pictures than the 8 MP Droid X.. MP is just a marketing ploy
@ilovemesomechicken hate to disappoint you but the A5 chip actually isnt.... Technically the galaxy nexus is running a dual core 1.2 Ghz processor while the A5 actually runs at a dual core 1 Ghz speed
@ilovemesomechicken Yeah in the other vid you were also trolling on, you kept claming that iPhone is better because of sales number (which is worse than Samsung's btw), and I told you not only is sale number worthless spec, but I showed you comparison between GS2 (which was released 6 months ago) and iPhone 4s, which you ignored because you were busy trolling your ass off.
@ilovemesomechicken I'm asking you. Do you really think it only takes GPU to make a smartphone? Other than playing some heavy graphic games, do you think having powerful GPU is even relevant?
Ok people need to get over this "but its a PenTile screen" BS considering the screen's pixel density you wont notice anything unless you hold it under a microscope another thing is the Megapixel count, that don't matter either its about the sensors that make the difference people need to get over this crap already you just sound like an idiot.
U got the video raw file for download? Because im pretty sure youtube destroyes the quality pretty hard. Ive downloaded Iphone 4s raw video file and it looks pretty damn amazing for a phone. Though they hade perfect light conditions.
@deathbyfugu1987 Captivate has a much lower ppi though, so you can't really draw the conclusion that the Nexus' will be that bad. Well you can, I guess, but it will be a very uneducated conclusion.
@deathbyfugu1987 Pentile is indeed disappointing, but it wont be as bad as we think with over 300ppi, and also would save lot more energy than RGB Stripe, like Super Amoled Plus. 720p on Plus display would eat up the battery, although Super Amoled screen does save more energy than normal IPS LCD displays.
time lapse is pretty nice, I wished that DSLR and mirrorless cameras had it too...
anyway, awesome camera, not getting into 8MP was the right decision, less pixel density means better low light performance, better video, etc.
the nuance and color grading, light/shadow, contrast is really spectacular, every impressive. by that I think that it has pretty good low light performance as well.
@tornato7 yeah, but that's not exactly time-lapse, it's not an automatic thing and it doesn't render a video in the end. It's a little bit different, you are able to do it, but you have to do it yourself, manually, isn't it? I'm talking about real time-lapse like in the Sony EX cameras, you just choose a VFR and have a time-lapse video in the end.
@KakaffStudios and if you talking about "interval timer shooting" like the other said, it's not a time lapse feature. it allows you to make it, but it shoots stills and you have to make the time lapse yourself, that's not what I'm talking about, I'm talking about video output time lapse in-camera just like you find in a Sony EX.
@L60N not really. it has "interval timer shooting" which allows you to make a time lapse if you want, but it's not a time lapse feature because you need a computer and a software to transform that in a time lapse video, but it is just an intervalometer.
real time lapse is like you find in a VFR capable camera, i.e., Sony EX, when the camera itself output a video file with time lapse.
and even a intervalometer is not a default thing in DSLR or CSC, i'd nice if it was.
@iNONSENSE Sorry mate, not trying to argue with you, I thought you might like to know that the D5100 does have this feature built in. If you go to live view and scroll through the effects and hit miniaturize , minimise the minture effect hen record, the camera shoots intervals then stitches it up to make a time lapse movie. The maximum you can shoot for is around 45mins, you basically end up with a 3minute max movie. The camera does everything so you can even view it back in time lapse too. :)
@L60N thanks. it's just that as my comment got "liked" I received several comments - some rude - talking about the interval timer shooting.
but that was not my intent when I wrote, what I tried to say is that most of the cameras should have it and most of then don't. and now with AVCHD 2.0 doing 1080p60 you should be able to make slow-motion in camera as well.
I love the effect you get with the stage zero dolly. Can I ask how you mounted the phone to the dolly? Really nice work!
