Been my experience as well. When they set up the camera parameters, they opted for more exposure time (more blur/streaks) and less ISO(more noise) for a given light condition. I'm not sure if aperture is even adjustable on these little no-lens things. Great well lit/landscape pics, so-so dark or dim and moving pics.
I hope they adjust it a bit at some point, or give the user the option to, though frankly a cell phone cam to me is a point and shoot,
I don't really want to have to jerk around trying to adjust things the way I do with an SLR.
I walked around with an S4 in one hand and the turbo in the other side by side taking photos when I first got the DT.
The DT takes nicer photos, when it takes nicer photos. The S4 was much more capable at low light/in motion.
This really isn't a knock against the DT camera per se but rather it's software (unless the software is covering for a hardware problem).
And by software I do not mean the camera app, it's deeper than that.
A human being decided at some point that if light is X then exposure time will be Y all throughout the light scale. It's almost like they programed it expecting it to have OIS. One could up the ISO and lower the exposure time and have a better chance of "freezing" something in motion or compensating for handshake which is more and more of an issue with distance, but the tradeoff is "noise" in photos which would get an equal amount of complaints I imagine.
I have no idea which is preferable or if the sensor/lens can do better, this is just what I see happening as a (very) little bit of a shutterbug.
