Does anyone else think that the Razr Maxx camera sucks?

I was a little excited at 8mp on the new Razr Maxx. Now that I have it, it sucks. It never seems to take a picture in focus. Anyone have any pointers?

Just because it has 8MP does not mean it will take better pictures, just means once they are taken you can zoom in or create large prints while still maintaining quality. Course if you don't get a quality shot to begin with you will just have a bigger terrible picture.

Are you letting the Auto Focus get a green box before shooting the picture? Are you talking about taking pictures outside or inside in low light? The pictures I have taken outside with this phone are pretty darn good IMO, but I am no Ansel Adams nor am I very picky about pictures.

Inside pictures are a completely different story with low light all bets are off. People swear by the Camera Zoom FX app, which I bought when they had it on sale for 50 cents but for me I don't see where it is any different.

Outside pictures seem to be a little better as long as you don't zoom. Inside is a lot worse. Yes the auto focus seems to be working. I have taken many pictures in the past with a slr camera so I am confident in the taking of pictures but this camera just seems to take out of focus pictures.

Give that APP I mentioned a shot, maybe you will like it better. Again I am not a camera person so advanced settings mean nothing to me, I don't use my phone as my camera. Just for taking the occasional picture when the moment strikes.

I am sure you don't, but do you have anything covering your camera lens?

[kbrake]

I will give that a try. Like you I only take occasional pictures with it.

Thank you

Fwiw, any time you use digital zoom to take a pic, you pixelate the pic. For the best pics, try not to use much digital zoom. This has helped my pics a lot.

DROID RAZR MAXXIMIZED!!!!

Compared to my wife's i*hone 4S, I would have to say there is no comparison. My pics always pretty hazy. I also noticed that I have to take a few more steps back to take a picture. Even when I am not zooming in.

So yes, I would agree that the camera "sucks" on the Maxx in said comparison.
