I'm not saying the 5mp sensor is great. All else equal, I'd choose 8mp. But all else is not equal. I'm assuming they have an upgraded sensor because a cheap one would not be able to achieve zero shutter lag, but the sample pictures I've seen don't look amazing, they look good.Great info guys. I agree that 5mp is very sufficient. My OG still takes exceptional pictures to be coming from a phone. Think of it like this; with Samsung making the Nexus their flagship phone for ICS, why would they use a sub-par camera? Samsung is known for good camera hardware. They were confident enough to use a 5mp camera and let the phone speak for itself. I have no worries.
I have a friend who also bought the Bionic, and our cameras are exactly the same. There was no problem with taking the images (aside from the focus issue which will hopefully be fixed in the next update), but the quality of the images on both phones was not good when compared to my D1. If you're happy with it, then don't let me convince you otherwise! I'm not trying to do that.Maybe you just had a Bionic with a bad camera. I've heard of that happening with a few people. They ended up returning them, getting a new Bionic and the camera was much better. The only shots that are grainy are the higher iso shots taken when it's dark.
