HTC EVO & HTC Nexus one cameras

Posted: erik.hedin 17 June 2010

I have had the HTC EVO for a day and the HTC Nexus one for about two months. Both have their flaws and benefits. The EVO is under the reign of Sprint meaning any functionality has to pass through the carrier. The Nexus one's keyboard & camera are not so great.

Of the two phones the camera on the EVO really shines. It has natural colors, shoots in lower light and operates at 5x the speed of the nexus one. Honestly the Nexus one's camera is a piece of junk. The iPhone has always had good color rendition but lacked detail and resolution. I also found it hard to compose a well aligned shot on the iphone screen for some reason. Bring on the EVO's huge screen to make shooting much easier.

Here is a shot from tonight's sunset.

Not so bad for a camera phone. Image editing
software on Android is another story. Not so hot. I would love to build a better image editing app.
