Both are 2 Megapixel cameras and yet his takes beautiful shots while the Touch looks like a picture from a flip phone that hit the streets two years ago. Dont get me wrong I love the touch, but what gives. Could HTC be using cheap camera? Is there any tricks or registry hacks that I dont know about? If there is please let me know.
The iPhone camera is manufactured by Micron Technology, HTC uses Omnivision CMOS cameras. IMO the major difference is in the time and expense put into developing drivers. The Touch was a rush job to beat Apple to market and judging from this Kaiser/Tilt petition, HTC seems on a roll when it comes to sacrificing quality for the sake of getting products to shipping. Microsoft is rubbing off on them?
