Is the Droid X camera really this bad?

[Aridon]

The camera shots looked good, the 720 video was way too choppy. The only thing about the camera is one of the unboxing videos had some camera time briefly and the gut had to slam the button three or for times to get it to fire. Hopefully the shutter speed isn't that slow or the software that laggy.

I've seen some droid x sample shots from other reviewers that were much better than these. And given how obviously biased the reviewer was, I'd hold off on making any judgments till I see more pics.

The one thing i would never do is listen a apple fanboys opinoin on anything not apple. You can make other phones pics look bad by moving on purpose and useing a tripod for ur iphone and so fourth.

The X has a mechanical shutter and the i4 is electronic, maybe that has something to do with it.

I think it depends on "how you hold it".

These don't look much better for the X

I am going to wait and see until I can play with the Droid X to see for myself. It almost looks like in these pictures like the Droid X needs to just have its lens cleaned/smeared.

the Droid X pics look terrible compared to the iphone4 in this set. iphone pics appear to be much sharper.

Yikes! Looks like more of the same. Man they really made a big deal about how great this camera is, and so far it doesnt really look that way. Perhaps, like bgr said, it is just an issue with the shutter button being too stiff. We shall see.

It may not matter to me anyway, I was hoping to get the x with an early annual upgrade, but I may not be able to do that after all.

I have to admit though, some of the iphone shots I have seen have been so oversaturated that they hurt my eyes. Like the iphone4 sunlight photo of the tomatoes. Completely unrealistic.

i dont think its the saturation, saturation looks fine to me for the iphone. some are a bit contrasty though. nonetheless, iphone4 'seems' to take much sharper pics
