Apart from its Super AMOLED display, Samsung Galaxy S also comes with a 5-megapixel camera that performs quite good under most conditions except in very low-light\/dark situation since it doesn’t come with flash.\u00a0 The camera is also capable of shooting HD videos (1280×720 resolution).<\/p>\n

Photo Taking<\/h3>\n

You can snap photos in various scene modes covering portrait, landscape, night, sports, party\/indoor, beach\/snow, sunset, dawn, color of fall, firework, text, candlelight and backlight. Here are some photos taken:<\/p>\n

(Landscape mode)<\/em><\/p>\n

(Sports mode for moving objects. You can see the moving cars are nicely taken with no motion blur)<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

(Sunset mode, taken under hot sun in the afternoon)<\/em><\/p>\n

Apart from the scene modes, you can also adjust the shooting mode. You can take continuous and panorama pictures as well as other added effects like beauty, vintage, add me, action shot and cartoon.<\/p>\n

The Add Me shooting mode is kind of fun in which you can snap two “photos” and combine as one.<\/em><\/p>\n

The self-shot mode allows you to take your picture using the front facing VGA camera. <\/em><\/p>\n

Video Recording<\/h3>\n

As for video recording, I have tested recording using 1280×720 resolution and 720×480 resolutions. The two videos (embedded below)\u00a0 that I have uploaded so far were actually shot in 1280×720 resolution, but they were compressed due to slow internet connection. Anyway, I will upload a few more videos in 720HD soon. The quality of the videos taken are really superb! You might not even get such quality with some mid-entry video camera.<\/p>\n

Good stuff: <\/strong>HD recording is brilliant and photo taking\/processing is fast.<\/p>\n

Could have done better:<\/strong> No flash which makes photo taking\u00a0 in low-light condition almost impossible (very poor quality). No dedicated camera button, which means you need to depend on the onscreen controls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
