Mogul Camera - Blurry Text?

[phatsacks]

I tried taking a picture of a business card, and could not make out any of the test.

I held up my cheap Katana II phone, and tried taking a picture, and it was clear as day.

Mogul settings are as high as possible (2M/SuperFine, etc)

Anyone else see a lousy performance on the camera side?

i don't think the lens on the mogul can focus on close up objects. i remember having the mm-5600, and it had a switch on the front of the phone for taking extreme close up pictures. but sadly, i don't think the mogul can.

I had considered that, so I took a picture from further away, and tried zooming in, once the picture was taken. Detail was still not captured.

The Moguls camera is crappy for doing any kind pictures of anything with detail. Maybe its just i cant keep it still but I have tried doing exactly what you attempted and no matter what setting i really couldnt get a satisfactory result. It seemed like even when you zoomed in it got just a blurry as when you put the phone too close.

I have tried the same thing in the past w/ my mogul as well with the same results...

[phatsacks]

I've removed the hand moving element by using a timer and setting it down, both camera phones, and the lesser one (Katana) takes a far superior picture.

I appreciate other confirmations, with out them I'd be considering sending it in for repair, but apparently it is what it is.

Edit:

I was never big on taking pictures with my phones, but have been using Evernote (check out www.giveawayoftheday.com) and it would have been nice to capture things outside. I always have my Katanna with me as well, so I'll just have to use that phone I suppose. Evernote does have a Windows Mobile app, but is of no use with the Mogul camera.

if you had the 6700, the camera had a little slider knob where you could choose between closeup and regular focus.... it did work a lot better than the mogul's camera for business cards, etc.

For things you don't need the high (2MP) resolution on, try dropping the size and then compare the images for readability.
