Well its 5Mega Pixels and its better than mosts phones and I think its not that bad as a camera.

true, could be worse... just don't like how the snow comes out as streaks...

I thought mine came out ok today. It's better than my kodak 3.0 MP.

I don't know if this will help you but I changed the focus setting to infinity, and my pictures are better then before. But yours don't look to bad

yours came out nice. i think my problem, was that the snow was falling when i was snapping pictures, so the camera had a difficulty focusing on these "moving" objects

it looks darker in yours too... that makes a big difference

Mine were taken at 1pm and on automatic settings. It was snowing but real light flakes.

Here's a couple taken from my Droid the past couple of days. I really haven't used it all that much so not sure what are the optimal settings. At our local grocery store we were walking past the gas pumps and saw someone using an electric scooter from in the store and they were stuck. I didn't get a good picture of what the heck was going on but thought the overall picture quality was good. The other is a view down our street on Saturday.

nice pictures, vulcan. anybody else snag good shots during the storm?

I planned on it here in Western MA but we got a pathetic inch or so... wasn't the storm I was anticipating

Lighting has everything to do with quality here... the quality difference in the nightime/daytime is astounding

they came out as streaks because the low light which in turn results in a slower shutter speed. which with this phone you cannot speed the shutter speed up.

yeah... too bad. for daytime shots, the phone works wonders... took some in Central Park a few weeks ago... but these here not so great
