Camera Quality - ASUS Transformer Pad 300 (TF300T) Review

Camera Quality

The Transformer Pad 300 comes with a 8MP rear facing camera (F2.2 aperture, 3264 x 2448 capture resolution) and a 1.2MP front facing camera (F2.4 aperture, 1280 x 960 capture resolution). The rear facing flash from the Prime is gone, although captured image quality appears to have gone up compared to the Prime in both low light and well lit conditions. The difference isn't always dramatic but it's clear ASUS did some ISP tweaking with the 300.

Images shot using the rear camera range in size from around 2.6MB to 4.5MB depending on the scene. Captures are very quick and the ICS camera UI feels very natural.

Video quality from the rear sensor isn't bad either, although it's best viewed at lower resolutions rather than the native 1080p output. The 300 captured using baseline H.264 at just under 16Mbps for the sample below:

While this low-light sample ended up with an average bitrate of around 8Mbps:

Note that neither capture was a consistent 30 fps. Average frame rate in the latter was around 16.7, while the former was much closer to ideal at 27.2 fps.
