Probably not Conclusive, but the General Consensus is......One X camera Kicks S3 Camera's ass.
I'm not registering just to look at some pics. What's the verdict?
First pic GS3 - Second ONE X.

Also note that the One X's stock camera app is pretty aggressive with the compression. You want full image quality use a third party camera app 
Galaxy s3 can go suck apples...
We don't care about the galaxy s3. There are already a **** ton threads on it.
One X is sexy and that's all that matters.

Easy man, I'm on your side! This is the first camera comparison between the two phones and the winner is clearly the ONE X.
Could someone post a couple of the Comparison pics on here for me and say which is which?
I'm on my Phone, and Google drive says I need to update my flash player to view the pictures

Thanks for doing that. I didn't mean for you to have to repost the links because I was too lazy to register on the site.
Easy? Easy?!?! Growl!
I suppose we better get used to it, they'll be no end of comparisons while the gs3, HOX and iphone are fighting for top spot.
I'd like to see a gs2 vs gs3 comparison, to see how much they have actually improved.

Not a problem. If I wasn't already registered i would be too lazy to register my self.Thanks for doing that. I didn't mean for you to have to repost the links because I was too lazy to register on the site.
wow seriously. i hope these are accurate representations! Will be pretty happy
no, they're not equally good. The SGS3 has a yellow tint on it and is significantly less sharp.
Also.. picture quality has little to do with the sensor itself. It has all to do with optics.
(and from a photographers view: putting a 8MP sensor in a phone is bogus as no optics on a phone allow for that resolution on the sensor.)
But.. anyway: The SGS3 has the camera hardware not finalized. This might change until the first units ship. I promise that the yellow tint will dissapear in the SGS3 - but it will stay less sharp than the HOX.
But nevertheless, the HOX is significantly better. Really - and I don't own one but do consider myself a amateur photographer.
And one more thing on the sensor used: In that user review from "boodies" he talks about the sensor of the HOX being the same as in the SGS2. So what? It's just a sensor. The sensor does not get you image quality (read: sharpness). It get's you color accuracy and light sensitivity (together with the aperture).
No sensor can produce image quality (read: sharpness) as this is solely the part of the optics (read: the lenses). Nobody should give a damn about which phone uses which sensor. The images posted here clearly show the results: actual resolution, color accuracy and lighting is waaay better on the HOX.
period. (and I'm not a fan-boy - I look at the pictures alone)
I wish photographers would review smartphone cameras. Smartphone people know some stuff about user interface, CPUs and GPUs - but image quality is the topic of photographers.
Here's a mean statement: Maybe the yellow tint on the SGS3 is compensated by a blueish tint of the AMOLED ?

They are NOT full resolution. But a big difference between each photo can be seen.

I think it's really too early to judge. Software really matters here - I'll wait at least for the final device. Even HTC improved the camera with update 1.29 and I hope it's keep getting better. Too bad they have such aggressive compression
