Why 5MP when your competitors are running 8MP? That’s the biggest question everyone’s asking about the Galaxy Nexus, and its a legit question.
Camera performance will be a major deciding factor for those who are looking to purchase a next-generation smartphone. On the field at the moment we have the iPhone 4S, the Motorola RAZR and the Galaxy Nexus, and how good the camera is on each of these devices will make the difference between deal or no-deal for a lot of people.
Here’s a sample video taken using the 5MP sensor on the Galaxy Nexus. The same footage was shown at the Samsung Google event, you can view it now at your own time in all its 1080p glory.
If you’re wondering, yes, the video has been edited but the only processing done to the original footage was to speed it up in the first clip, and that shouldn’t affect the raw footage taken from the Galaxy Nexus much.
Its pretty impressive for a 5MP shooter don’t you think? For comparison, here’s a video sample taken using the iPhone 4S.

From the horses mouth. Google Romain Guy — the creator of the video.
This is a slightly longer version of the video showed during the Galaxy Nexus and Android 4.0 launch event.
The video was shot on Rockaway Beach, near Pacifica, California. The final video is a compilation of video and time-lapse clips shot with a Galaxy Nexus phone. Everything was shot in 1080p and the final video was edited in Adobe After Effects CS5. The only processing done on the original footage was to speed it up in the first clip.
The video clips were shot without the help of a tripod and shake a little bit. The time-lapse clips were shot using a Stage Zero Dolly from Dynamic Perception <a href="http:// (www.dynamicperception.com)” target=”_blank”> <a href="http://(www.dynamicperception.com)” target=”_blank”>(www.dynamicperception.com). If you haven't seen them before, check out the photos of the rig I used by opening the album linked below.
This video was my very first try at shooting video (including time-lapses) with a phone. It is also not what I had planned on doing when I went to Rockaway Beach that night! My Canon 5D Mk II remained untouched as soon as I got the idea of using the Galaxy Nexus. This first experiment was very interesting and I already have many ideas of other videos and time-lapses I would like to shoot with this phone.
You can watch the video in full 1080p resolution and I highly recommend you do so on… a Galaxy Nexus! The gorgeous 720p screen at 315 dpi is amazing.
Enjoy!

We watched the whole Google Samsung presentation, twice. And we always check our facts.

No of megapixel does not determine the quality.. This is only marketing tool for the manufacturer to make u feel compel to upgrade…what matters is the sensor and the optics..

Time lapse yo, not sped up.
Dude
Not impressive enough. Why don't they show full original photo for us to compare? All these videos can be manipulated.
wakaka
and SGS2 also 8mp!!
If i'm not mistaken the clip was not sped up. it was a time lapse video, made with the phone it self, with the new time lapse function in the stock camera. at least, that was said during the presentation.
