actually, im a little underwhelmed with the photo quality to be honest. Iphone pics and htc one X pics are miles ahead. dont know about the galaxy s2 though. Id suggest just going with the One X anyways if you have the cash for it. The desire HD is an older phone, even though it still does everything right :D

Desire HD is great for taking pics its superior to hero I had before.
Flash is ok.
If you want full camera options you need sense though, ics camera is still buggy on most roms untill htc releases kernel, stock android camera like cyanogen is limited and grainy for my personal experience. Miui is good but limited.

What?? The iPhone 4s is known for taking beautiful pictures... Im no apple fanboy and I stand by android but iPhone 4s clearly takes better pictures than the desire hd. Now the One x(my current baby) blows both out of the water. OP, if you have the $99 for a HTC One X I highly advise it :cool:

The DHD camera is great, just make sure you use the stock camera app or the MIUI one.

Here's a few pics I took with it. You can judge yourself. They're not on par with a standard digital camera, but I think they come close. A better photographer would probably get something a little crisper.

These aren't the DHD's full potential, the sun's glare was too much and I couldn't really see my shot until I took it.

You can judge if the camera is good enough for you (Note, this was taken with the Inspire 4g, which should be exactly the same as the DHD in terms of camera)

I made some tests, and for me THE BEST camera app is Camera Pro (Camera X) for NICE Steady photo mode, horizontal level (oh yeaah), and other ... also, considering post #2 link, You can catch better photos.

Also, I noticed, that THE BEST and awesomes Photos & Videos are making in Virtuous Infinity (better, than stock).

yes you should definitively check my Desire HD camera guide

but to give you a final conclusion

the Desire HD camera can give great clean 8Mpixel results with very little digital processing, however the shutter speed is slow, so patience and a stable hand is required
