The camera on the G2 is fantastic, haven't really had a chance to test the 3's camera out yet although I did try the animated photo out and loved it plus there are so many more features with the Note 3 camera software and video shooting modes not to mention an extra size choice in the megapixels for camera shots. This camera software handily beats the one on the G2, why do people say the Note has no image stabilization? its clearly an option both in video as well as camera it isn't optical image stabilization but called smart and just from the few shots I've taken it works well enough so far. A gripe on the G2 thread is that ois doesn't work very well but again it took good pics for me although I never got a chance to really challenge it in different situations, guess over the coming weeks we will all have more real world experience and tales to tell about our new Note 3's.
