The evaluations of determinants with Legendre symbol entries have close relation with combinatorics and character sums over finite fields. Recently, Sun [9] posed some conjectures on this topic. In this paper, we prove some conjectures of Sun and also study some variants. For example, we show the following result:

Let p=a 2 +4b 2 be a prime with a,b integers and a≡1(mod4). Then for the determinant

S(1,p):=deti 2 +j 2 p 1≤i,j≤p-1 2 ,

the number S(1,p)/a is an integral square, which confirms a conjecture posed by Cohen, Sun and Vsemirnov.
