Camera?

Well, all the reviews that have come in say the camera is useless. This isn't a deal breaker for me but very disappointing. I was hoping the 5MPs on it would allow me to not bring the real camera along when I go special places with my child.

What say you?

They aren't saying the camera is worthless, just that the software controlling it right now is not the best, but the good thing about that is they can always release patches.

I'm not sure "useless" is the correct word. I also am taking a wait and see appraoch on it. I've seen some of the pics and they were ok. This also can be adjusted or modifed with a patch or software update in the future

Most reviews while not exactly saying useless, they were saying QUITE disappointing, which isnt too far off, most also note though that they feel a software update will/can more than likely fix the issues.

yeah, i was really hoping the camera would be great out of the box. It sounds like most of the problems with it will be fixed with software updates.

I wonder how long we'll have to wait for a software update/patch? I'm pretty sure I've already seen rumors about Android 2.1.


Edit-Here's a little bit on 2.1 rumors:

2.1 ETA before the end of the year!

my samsung omnia also has a 5mp camera and it sucks too from what i understand its a software problem that samsung dose not care to fix. some of the european rom guys have fixed it for them but it doesnt work on the verizon version, may be its the same for the droid.
