Touch Pro camera quality settings

[schettj]

Camera does pretty well outside with bright sun



Unfortunately I don't know which end is UP... here is the raw photo out of the camera!



It looks better if you stand on your head

It is interesting how it looks reasonably sharp when scaled down to 500 × 375 in flickr, vs 2048 × 1536 raw... It may say 3.2mp, but it feels like .8mp - or rather it can actually produce sharp .8mp images.

There just is no way to get good images out of cheap cellphone cameras.

This whole topic is laughable, IMO.

My "real" Canon camera also looks considerably crappier when fulled its full 7 mpixel resolution. That has to do with how the sensor works. You rarely ever view a picture at full res (7mpixel wouldn't fit on the average computer screen at once anyway). They say the sensor is capable of 7mpix, or 3.2mpix, or whatever, because it IS capable of that. However, when scaled down, the quality improves. This is NORMAL!

As far as being fuzzy, etc, that's mostly because of the packing adhesive that mucks up the battery cover sheild. Clean that up (as I already mentioned) and you won't have to take it off to get good pics.

IMO, the only thing that "sucks" about HTC camera phones is that the AUTO settings aren't worth the time developers spent writing it. You have to do everything manually to get a decent shot.
I'd upload some pics to show you, but I need to find some without any people in them (friends/family don't like being paraded online without permission!). Maybe later today I'll snap a shot of the snow melting and show you what I'm talking about.
