Hi all!

After more than a year of hard work I am pleased to announce in this Nexus 5 forum the first beta release of “Camera Super Pixel”, a camera app that takes pictures enhancing the resolution of the camera, improving sharpness and reducing noise.

The app takes a burst of pictures and intelligently combines them into a higher resolution photograph (up to 4x) using an own-developed super-resolution (SR) algorithm. The camera is optimized for static scenes. In other situations the result may not be good.

We are working on improving the performance in terms of speed and quality of the result.

Please send us your feedback if you have any issue with the app.

Thanks for your support!

Hi RonnellTapawan,
the device must support the “burst mode” and raw photo format included in the new Camera2 API. Unfortunately just a few smartphones support this feature. We are working hard to add full support for new devices (Samsung S6 & S7, One Plus Two, LG G4, ...).

Amazing job. Is this possible to make it save photos in dng ? Other than that - once again amazing job :cowboy:

Thanks for the feedback! We could include dng and new camera features (ex. burst pics) on future versions. Thanks for the idea.

I've paid for it but the ads are not removed. Can you help me?

Sorry for the problem. Please, try to close the app and restart it again. If the problem continues please contact us again. Thanks.

Nice work ..Keep it Up !

Front camera result is excellent ...atleast 3-4 times better than Google Camera. So this app becomes permanent Selfie app for me ;) :D

But to be honest i don't see much improvements in rear camera, many times even Google camera with HDR+ performs better than it !

Hi,
the quality varies according to the number of photos the app can mix correctly. You can activate "Debug mode" setting inside the app to check it, we are working hard to improve speed & quality.

Thanks for tip..i don't doubt app's ability & future potential :)

As a reviewer i like to give all the details i can give instead of just saying awesome or worst :p so i shared my observation that improvement in back camera isn't that much drastic as Front. So that you can focus on it in next version :D

Keep it up ! :)

Hi there, thanks for your efforts. I tried this app on my Z5 E6653. Didn't get the chance to test properly yet but I have a few suggestions for a future release: adding option to enable flash, option to set resolution, and make this app compatible with other devices.
I understand this is still beta but I find the concept very interesting and I'll keep my eye on this one!
Cheers!

Just tested on Xperia Z5 Compact. Works great - definite improvement in image quality. Good idea on the multi image sampling!
Agree with other comments about improved setting options. Although I imagine flash would be difficult to implement due to the camera taking a series of burst shots

Thanks for testing! Is the app listed as compatible on Google Play for your Sony Z5 device?
You are right about the flash on burst shots, but we will try to add a "torch" mode ;)

    i just tried the app again and now the focusing works well. only problem for me is the noise reduction in low light conditions.
    i would love it to be less aggressive so you dont lose so much detail.

    Thanks for this app :) I've taken some pictures in low light for comparison. As you see Google Camera HDR+ has the best quality and details in low light. Also Camera Super is good, noise is very low, but as @veitograf because of aggressive noise reduction, some details are lost.

    Thanks for the feedback. Next version will have advanced settings (noise reduction, edge enhancement, JPEG quality, ...) ;)
