What is so disappointing about those pictures? Those look great. How many of us are professional photographers? For Christ's sake, it's a phone. No matter how many features and apps you load into it, it's still, at the end of the day, a phone. Those pics look great. I've been using my TP's camera since I've had the phone. To me, it's just easier to use because you always have your phone with you so you can whip it out at a moment's notice and say "Hey, check out what I got a pic of here." Sure I have a digital camera too, but for ease of use, I like the TP's 3.2MP. That being said, I should more than be impressed with the EVO's 8MP. Disappointed with the video quality? What does it need to do to impress you? Even on my old shatty Sanyo phones, you could tell what was happening (most of the time) in all the vids I shot. So once again, what does these cameras and camcorders in PHONES have to do in order to satisfy everyone?

Kind of off topic, but I hate yall's light rails. Every time I have to go there for work, I almost always seem to get smash by one of those damn things. They come out of nowhere, straight in the middle of the street!

On topic, they look great to me. Much better quality than my diamond that I've been using for about a year and a half. How long is the load time for the camera app? Like from the time you click on the icon to start the camera, to the time when you can "take" the picture? Cause that's one thing that I hate with the diamond, is that you have to scroll over to the camera tab in sense UI, then click on the camera icon, then wait 3-5seconds for the camera app to start working, then another 1-2 seconds for the focus to, well focus lol, then another 2-4seconds to actually view the picture you just took...

Without better optics and a bigger sensor, there's just not that much you can do in software. The alternative is to carry a Nokia with a giant sensor and Carl Zeiss optics. Nice, but overkill IMO for what is always going to be a secondary camera.

palm pre takes great pics

htc's camera quality (tp2)

pre's cam quality

please stop. What does half of what you said have to do with pre picture quality?? MP"S have nothing to do with picture quality, only the size really. SO your one"point" is instantly invalid, and you obviously have no idea what your talking about

not to mention pre's video quality is way better too, as far as frame rate goes

sorry to let yall know evo is not the end all be all. Im in no way a pre lover, i cant wait to get the evo and sell this pre and tp2 BUT i can see things from an unbiased POV and admit the camera on the EVO (all HTC phones really) sucks even for camera phone, compared to older competition. the only thing they did right on EVo camera is autofocus and dual LED, which is great dont get me wrong

I'm wondering if the lens protector is glass or plastic. Cause if it's plastic, then shot quality will really decrease in time by the plastic getting scratched and making the camera take progressively worse pictures over time. If it's glass, so much the better because it's much more scratch resistant, and won't discolor over time.

I don't have any idea. Maybe someone who has one will chime in, but I do agree with you 100%

You got to be kidding about the Pre camera being better than these. I had 2 Pre's and my Diamond took better pics than the Pre. These pics are far superior to anything I have seen on a phone; just my $.02.

they arent terrible, way better than tp2. But i was expecting more from a cam boasting those stats. But they are still grainy in spots and way to sharp. like i said, they not terrible but still i was hoping theyd be better than the pre
