OPO Camera discussion and pics

[TheAtheistReverend]

So, after owning this fantastic supercomputer/phone/PDA/camera/navigation device for a little while, I am pleased to announce that I am in love.
I love the camera on this thing.
I had reservations before buying that it wouldn't really be an improvement over my S4, or it would just plain be a downgrade. It is neither a side step or downgrade at all. I have been getting fantastic photos since day one with this thing, and the Clear Picture update hasn't harmed a bit.

I stumbled across this video comparing the OPO camera to the Canon 5D MarkIII (YouTube Direct Link)and I felt so smug, I had to share. At least I'm sharing with those who are already fans I hope.

I noticed that we seem to be missing a photo sharing/bragging thread here, so I hope y'all will join me in posting some of your favorite shots taken with your OnePlus. Please just "hide content" if you're going to share full-res images to save on page loading time!

I'll start with one of my favorites:

Just wonder if there are any photo experts here who could recommend a good general camera setting. Also I am unclear of the difference between "Smart Screen" and "Auto". I just like to have the settings ready for taking fast snap shots and do not want to have to fumble around with it each time I take a photo. Thanks

I use HDR. There was a recent ota update for the camera software sent also.

I would highly recommend checking out the camera review and image samples by Robin Wong:

As for the Scene modes, I yet to find any comprehensive write up about it.
