Question [Q] Why is my friend's camera better?

My friend has the same phone as me, the Galaxy S2. His phone and mine are both running 2.3.4 gingerbread and are on T-Mobile. He bought his a few months after I bought mine and the camera is much better than mine, they both are on the exact same settings and his pictures are much clearer. when comparing pictures of the same thing he can zoom in on pictues he has already took with unbelieveable quality while mine blurs when zoomed in. Does anyone know why this is? My picures aren't bad quality but his are immense. Thanks in advance, Harry.

Edit: We were both on the exact same settings and compared photos almost identical to eachother, taken specifically for comparing. I'm currently on Lite'ning rom v6.1 but even before i rooted his camera was better.

Are you sure you have same camera drivers? I think that might be the case. I'm not an expert, but by reading people problems with camera I guess that might be the problem that you are having.

Check the settings between the 2. Maybe you have it set to macro focus, like my cousin did.

Firstly check that the lense is clean,finger prints on the clear plastic cover cause problems.

Both pictures taken by ensuring the GS2 is on a stable platform? Camera handshake might amount to something.

Have you checked the camera firmware on each phone?
