Of coarse I also came to the EVO from a palm pre with a terrible 3.5MP camera that took horrible grainy pics with no zoom so every pic i took looked a mile away from me, so the EVO camera is a godsend to me.....lol

Unless my thinking is wrong, i don't think i want to downgrade from an 8mp camera to a 5mp, when not taking 3d pics....phone is plenty fast for me and with the upgrade to the new launcher, if we get it, i'm gonna stay with original evo....
We have no idea how good the sensors and software is. The 5MP pic taken by the 3D mught actualy look 10x better than the 8MP pic taken by the EVO. I would be utterly shocked if they kept everything the same and downgraded to 5MP. THat doesn't make sense to me. I am banking on a camera that takes nicer still than the 4G as well.
Exactly, I don't believe that people still don't understand that the amount of mp a picture has has nothing to do with quality! You can have a 100mp picture that would still look like crap and a 1mp picture that can blow it away based on the sensor used.
MP has to do with the size of the photo, not the quality! It is so annoying reading all of these posts with people saying they won't downgrade to a lower mp camera on their phone.
You would think at least all the geeks in these forums would understand the concept!
It wasn't a personal insult towards you and you were actually asking about it more then stating a fact but I have read so many posts of people saying they won't upgrade to the 3d because of the lower mp camera. I am betting the EVO 3d camera will run circles around our EVO camera now.....So unless you are going to print a picture in life size poster form, 10 or 12 mp's are pretty pointless.Well i did state "unless i'm wrong" in my post because i wasn't sure how MP ratings applied to picture quality, thought it was pixels per inch, not total pixels of the photo...
so sorry to have "annoyed" you....
Sorry if i'm not "a geek in this forum" that understands the concept....
I have read so many posts of people saying they won't upgrade to the 3d because of the lower mp camera.
What's more shocking to me is the number of people that are willing to overlook the 3D because of (perceived) camera quality. It would be a bummer to have a downgraded camera, but is that really what so many of you are looking for? A phone wiht a really nice camera?

But now that you have been educated, go spread the word to everyone else! MP does not equal a better camera. As a lot of people stated, the iPhone with a lower MP camera runs circles around our EVO's.
If you use the camera program Vignette in the app store, it actually suggests setting the camera to 5mp's for the best quality and color photo. Bottom line, it is the sensor used in the camera that dictates how well the picture will come out, it is the mp that dictates the size that the picture will be.
still there is no confirmation that the new cam is better than the old cam. I do hope so..
2x 8mp or 2 x 5mp... cost is my theory why not.
their was rumored that the 2 5mp cams will be combined to take on pic...in 2D... for a total of 10mp 2D pictures. never seen this done on any device before... so take as you want.
I don't carry a camera and a phone, so I would like my phone to have a camera that takes decent pics, Don't forget I came from a palm pre which took horrible pics, so the evo camera blows it out of the water, so yes kinda, i want a phone with a nice camera. the evo does everything else i need my phone to do, calendar, alarm clock, gps etc etc, and i'm in a 4g area so thats awesome too...
Plus i don't have a 3d tv yet to view 3d pics and video on, nor do my friends yet so the 3d, although cool new tech, i could wait a year or so till its more commonplace, kinds like when hdtv first came out, what good is a 3d image if i can't share it with anyone but me? I'm not going to drive across town to physically show a friend a 3d pic i took because he can't see it on his blackberry
I suppose I should have clarified. By 3D I simply meant the new phone (as in the EVO 3D and everything she comes with), not the actual feature. I am just as unimpressed by this 3D nonesense as the other guy. Let me put it another way. My girlfriend has a DInc, which has a 5MP camera, and the picture quality is undescernable from the EVO 4G's 8MP pics. I wouldn't necessarily expect better pictures, but I would, without hesitation, bet that the camera will be at least as good visually.
One thing that excites me with the EVO 3d is the higher resolution screen. I thought the original EVO should have had a higher res screen for it's size but I am glad at least the 3d will!I guess time will tell, i've watched a few "hands on" videos and so far from what i've seen, not much said about 2d pics, which is to be expected i guess because they are showing off the 3d feature, but without seeing pics taken by both phones side by side, i guess we won't know much about the new phones camera....If my evo gets the sense update and gingerbread, the only reason for upgrading would be more speed, as of now this phone flies and i'm not inclined to pay more money for a little more speed....

Fair enough. I think the EVO is a solid device. It probably won't stop being people's daily driver until Sprint drops support, along with HTC, along with the mod community... which I suspect will be a very long time. When you have a phone that makes you happy, an upgrade is going to be more of a luxury than a necessity, right?
I think there are some other cool uses people will invent for the 2 camera's besides just 3D stuff. I'm sure there will be some interesting apps to take advantage of the 3D tech, it's just the begining.
