I applaude those against the camera (including the experts in the store) who have seen the pictures are not the quality of other camera PHONES and talked about this being delayed for 8 months so they should've presented a better product, and who say $300 needs to deliver at least a camera comparable to phones in the past.
Also we're not talking about video here, we're talking about photo's.
For the jackasses, we're not comparing this to a camera, and most of us know how to take photo's as we've been doing it, AND ON PHONES, for years! (and I've stated about trying to manually focus (pushing down and holding) besides the green light and I've stated trying to adjust all the settings, so that's advanced.)
I am a photographer and have many camera's I use depending on the situation: family event, sports, etc. We all know having a camera on the phone is convenient, especially in situations we don't know we'll need a camera or when we go out in the eve to a restaurant or bar, so it fits in our pocket and is an all in one.
We're not comparing this to itself (as being the first cellphone camera capability ever made so we should deal with it as it's a phone first) or a dang stand alone camera, we're comparing this to PHONES THAT HAVE HAD CAMERA'S ON THEM FOR YEARS AND ARE BETTER THAN THIS (the newest, latest, greatest, expensive phone out).
You're right to say complain to Motorola, I did. I hope tons do instead of these forums.
You're right to say there will probably be an update, BUT REMEMBER, you only have 14 days to return it!!!! If they don't have an update, or it doesn't fix it, we're screwed!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOTTOM LINE, this phone is UNSAT!!!!!!!!!
It CAN'T TAKE PICTURES in LOW LIGHT SETTINGS (and no you can change down the MPto like 5) LIKE THE REST OF THE OLDER PHONES CAN!! (we tested it under the same conditions using an old Incredible 1 and an I-Phone 4.) And that's not even including the other problems many have said (as we're talking an essential basic here that non-smartphones/first smartphones had, not advanced stuff we'd like to have/see.)
SAD!! -- Bionic pictures by portableb - Photobucket
Besides poor picures, light, flash, focus, you can even see two of us three focused and a third not. (once again, green box, advance settings (which is why there's multiple shots of the same picture) and other smartphones used with WAY better results.)
