I am not sure about Note2.
But for galaxy note 3 pictures, it looks really nice when view at original size.
However, when zoomed, I can see heavy image processing and filtering technique applied.
especially obvious on the human skin part.
The effect is less obvious under good light condition, and become more obvious on low light condition.
I think this technique makes the photo looks nice on the first look, and every1 is excited about it.
but if you zoom in, you realize the blurring effect.

Anyway, any1 know how to take RAW photo with note 3?
Without the image processing and filtering. Is it possible?

Why do you have to zoom in? For regular phone camera users, it won't give you any benefit, only vomit tongue.gif

By the way, that is called pixel peeping.

The "effect" is more obvious in lower lighting conditions because when there is less light, your device is not capable of directing enough light into the camera sensor. The aperture should already max out at f/2.2 and the shutter speed is at the minimum as pre-determined by the camera (since you can't have full access to the manual controls anyway) BUT there is still not enough light.

So what to do now?

The only thing the camera can do now to compensate for the lack of light is to increase the ISO. Increasing the ISO basically means increasing the sensitivity of the photo receptors in the camera sensor to light. When you increase ISO, you will get more digital noise, this is an inevitable fact.

Most phone cameras and conventional point and shoot cameras will usually suffer a lot of digital noise even at low ISO ratings, due to their camera sensor size. The camera sensor is basically where all the your "megapixels" are at. With a bigger sensor, the surface area of each pixel would be bigger resulting in a higher exposure to light. This is good because the camera needs less electrical signals to tune the sensor for higher sensitivity. Therefore, you will notice that at the same ISO value, a bigger sensor sized camera will produce less noisy images than a smaller sensor sized camera.

ic... thanks for the info.
as I don't have others Sony phone to compare.

Still thinking about Sony QX10, but theVerge gives very low score only.
I have DSLR but it is too cumbersome to bring out everytime. (noob DSLR with stock lense)

I won't get the QX10 as I find it a waste of time. 1/2.3 sensor is small, just like your regular conventional compact cameras (RM800 below).

IMHO just go for the QX100 as it offers a tremendous camera performance compared to your Note III smile.gif

Maybe you might thank me for this later tongue.gif

any one bought NOTE 3 SME set at DIGITAL MALL PJ ?... can recommend shops that offering good trade in value for NOTE 2... between mine just 6 months old...

do we can trade in at SAMSUNG RETAILER ?

You will NEVER get a good trade in value for phones. If you want to get the highest price for your phone, sell it here at Garage Sales.

Just don't be shocked if the shops offer you like RM600-700 lol

dirt cheap RM20-40 I scare will explode.
IF exploded using cheap battery, Samsung WONT compensate you.

Anyway, any recommendation for GOOD and CHEAP charging dock like this?

Actually, the only thing I might find a charging dock being useful IF it offers various connections such as multiple USB ports, micro SD slot (maybe), etc

Why are you so insecure about your Note 3's camera performance?
