Well I feel that this camera is certainly not the best camera available, but it is very good "if" you are willing to play with it a bit in order to know what its strengths and weaknesses are. I am coming from a Samsung Galaxy S2X which has a fantastic camera. Here are my comments.
1. The settings make a huge difference. It is worth changing the exposure settings to a + or - depending on the situation
2. Hold the button down when you have flash on in order to allow the camera to adjust the exposure. It make a big difference.
3. Allow the camera to focus properly on close ups. Don't just click away when you have the time to take a good shot.
4. Try to not use a flash in low light. This is where this camera shines.
Here are a couple of shots I took. One without flash and exposure setting to -1 and the other with flash and exposure set to -2.
I feel that the camera may be better than my GS2 in some cases but worse in others. Will continue to experiment with it.
