I just moved from iphone to LG Thrill but am finding the photos and video not nearly as good as the iphone. Was just wondering if anyone here knows if this Samsung can take the same quality pics and video as the iphone 4. I especially noticed the difference indoors with no flash. If so, I will likely switch even though the 3D is surprisingly good and fun on the LG even if it is a gimmick.

Help Camera and Video Quality Compared to iphone 4?

Indoor quality sucks, outdoor quality is pretty damn nice.
I have both a Galaxy S2, and an iPhone 4.
Yes, it's true that the still pictures are a bit nicer on a iPhone 4, but the big difference is getting used to the SGS2 and how it's exposure and white balance works.
I'm an amateur photographer, with lots of experience. So the only point being, I expect different camera's whether they be in cell phones or stand alone models to be different. It's the nature of it.
So before you jump to conclusions that the SGS camera is a dud, give it and you some time to acclimate. I think you will find that like I did, once you adjust to the differences, the images you get are going to be very close.
Personally I'd rather have to learn the camera on the SGS, as opposed to having an easier camera on a boring iPhone 4.
The only reason I even have an iPhone 4, is I'm a tech addict. A software design engineer, and work in a cross platform environment with PC's Macs Linux and Unix.
I spend a lot of money on various new Laptops and Smartphones each year. Of all the platforms in the mobile space, I find Android far and away the very best, most fun, and least boring. There is a heck of a lot one can do with Android _IF_ you take the time to learn it properly.
The biggest problem is people who believe what they read, think they are smarter than the engineers that built the phone and immediately start rooting it and tweaking it. Long before they really know what they are doing.
Then they wonder why they experience the problems they do.
I've been using Android since the very first model was released through T-Mobile and I've had every version of the OS since. I've never enjoyed any other mobile OS as much as Android in any of it's versions.
Cheers

I too am an amateur photographer with lots of experience, so I am willing to take the time to learn the Samsung when I get it. Right now I have the LG thrill, and although I've been playing with the settings, I doubt I could ever get the quality of the camera close to the iphone, especially in low light.
I don't work in the tech industry, but in the limited time I've had the android phone, I have come to appreciate how fun and configureable it is. I'm definitely sticking with the Android platform, I'm just trying to decide which phone to get, and the camera is the most important feature other than the phone of course.

Same with the thrill. As for using the flash, you really have to be close to the subject to get a good shot.
