EVO Pic/Vid samples [Videos Up]

[bedoig]

The EVO is definitely not a replacement for your dedicated digital camera. It's also not a match for high end camera phones like the Nokia N8 (see video sample , if you haven't already).

That said, I still think it is a step up from most cell cameras, even if it is a small step.

Here are some samples I took during lunch (except for the last one, I shot that a couple days ago). Videos are still uploading to youtube. I'll post those when they're done. [Edit: they're done, see below]

Also note that these were all shot quickly, freehand, with automatic settings. You could probably do better if you played with things a bit.









Didn't mean to leave this filter on, but it turned out kind of cool anyway:


Close-focus shot from my porch. Too bad the plants are half dead!




Do we not have the ability to embed youtube? You can on XDA using [youtube][/youtube]. Anyway, here's some links.

You can see that the video quality still lags significantly behind the still images. OK in a pinch for scenes without much movement, but you're not going to get great results for fast-action. These really don't seem like 24 fps to me, but that's what they claim. I shot one of the videos in portrait, but I guess the video camera isn't orientation aware.
