I just got an EVO and every low light shot (and I just mean indoors, with all lights fully on, so not really considered "low light") are an orange hue. Horrid. But yours are beautiful! What are your exact settings? I would love to copy. Can I make them the default settings? Thanks!

Artem,

Have you been able to test out another card such as a Class 6 or Class 10?

Just still wondering if the video is going to improve or if its going to be stuck as it is now for life...

Thanks,

James

It gets laggy like that as soon as it gets dark, so unless you're planning on recording stationary videos, whatever you record will make you dizzy when you move. Not the kind of impression I'm looking for when shooting and showing my videos :-]

I was but I won't be able to use another card until I get back to the States from France. I doubt much will change.

Really? They work fine for me and all of them show up in HD.

I've retagged all of the recent videos with "androidpolice" but currently Youtube search is only picking up one of them. Odd/weak... Edit: nvm, they're all there now, just took some time.

Hey Artem Russakovskii, can you start labeling or tagging your youtube video uploads "Android Police." It will be alot easier to find them as opposed to going thru the site from my handheld each and everytime. Thanks in Advance. Btw, the 2nd video in day light was excellent even on my trusty Palm Pre @480p soon to be replaced by a HTC 4G:)

The last 4 videos appear to be in 360p (no "YouTube HD" logo). Were they not uploaded to Youtube in 720p format?

Daytime seems to be ok (for a phone). Nighttime seems to be the real issue.

Were you using the stock 8gb class 2 card? If so, could you test out a class 6 or even class ten to see if it helps out with the video quality? Your videos are not the HD quality that I am use to....

Cheers,

James

Artem, I can appreciate the artifacts in the video you pointed out, but overall, I think it's fantastic quality. Let's not forget that it's a phone! It was never meant to replace a video camera, but is only a tool. The night seen you shot had to be laggy with the way you were swinging that camera around...it got me dizzy...hahaha. The times when you did stop, it didn't look that bad for a night video. Overall, I think you're being too hard on the Evo because you probably had higher expectations...and you never know, with software updates, it could get a little better in many areas of the phone. Thanks for the shots of Paris. I loved it.
