Droid X camera is disapointing (pictures inside)

Rather than blame the camera, learn how to use it first.


These folks obviously know how to:

Post pictures you have taken with your Droid X - Android Forums

Thanks for the pretty pictures, I guess? That thread offered no help for helping users take better quality pictures.

Those look nice and sharp, but I'm having a problem with color saturation. I don't see how looking at those pictures are going to help me lol.

Well for starters, why don't you post a few pics? Color saturation isn't one of the X's problems from what I've seen. Also a picture tells a thousand words to the trained eye.

I am stunned at the comments on the original post. I do a significant amount of photography and was very pleased with the quality of photos this phone takes. Even in low light it was able to take a shot that was better than the object looked in actuality. The only time it took a poor photo was in very bright light. The video, again on a phone, was remarkable. I was in a restaurant, not noted for their lighting and the video was very good. It's a phone, not a $1,000.00 camera.

Agreed.

Plus if you are on the new system update, it' is a lot better IMO.

Double check you're running the correct system on the X.... Some people are not receiving the update, but if you go to your about phone settings and check for the update, it's there. MAKE SURE.

The camera owns for a "PHONE"

Here are a couple of photos from outdoors last weekend.

This is a good macro shot. A bit grainy, but it was in low light, with the flash. Keep in mind, this little sucker's head is the size of a pea...

The close up was zoomed in with macro. The other was zoomed in less so, if at all (I can't remember, I was in a hurry to snag pics of my hatching chameleons before I left for work). If I had good lighting, I think the pics would have been a lot better. When I've had good lighting, these pics are awesome. Poor lighting, the pics suck.

Photos taken today, evening. Have resized it down, no postprocessing.

Some more shots I took today:

These shots all look so good... as well as the ones on AndroidForums. My shots have been coming out pretty decent too on the stock settings. Weird that all the reviews said the camera was awful.
