Just thought I'd throw this in here... I just video'd my daughter's ballet performance using the Rezound. I had it zoomed in all the way AND she was constantly in motion, so I know quality is typically compromised under these circumstances. All said, I was extremely impressed with the quality. I haven't experimented with closer-up video yet, but I'm sure it will be fantastic.
I have to say, I am impressed with some of these low light shots.
On a Droid 1, I would not even bother trying. The Droid takes great daylight pictures, but anything in low light is truly awful. Like Feature-phone awful. And that is something I have really missed out on these last couple years.
So it is nice to know I will FINALLY be able to take photos at night now.
Will upload a few pics when I get a chance later. I can definitely say this camera does NOT have the weird pixelation that other droids have. I've seen with my OG Droid, Droid X and the Nexus.
The camera really seems closer to the quality that the iphone has.
Very pleased with the camera. All these are straight from the phone, no post processing done. With even a little brightness/sharpening/saturation, these would really be nice.
Ok, here are a few mixed samples I took on my phones. I am including embedded images, but if you follow the "album" link you can download it at full resolution if you want to see the "real" picture
Keep in mind, none of these were taken with the "Low light" mode enabled. These are all using stock settings out of the box. The Camera does lean to Yellow a bit in low light. The Panorama mode is AWESOME...extremely intuitive to use, and takes seamless images.
the camera on this thing is one of the main reasons i chose it after reading a lot of reviews. so many times with my droidx i wasihed i had a phone that could at least do respectfully in P&S situations. i have a full dslr kit as you can see here i am pretty into photography:
I'm getting better sharpness using something to steady the phone : in this case I used a post to set the phone on. All settings were Auto and the file size is 5mb (one below 8 on the resolution setting)
+1 Very nice shots Jeff...I've had good luck using the HDR (high dynamic range) indoors/outdoors for tricky lighting. In SCENES at the bottom is Backlight HDR. Most of the time this camera's standard program really shines using just the AUTO mode if u don't have the time to set things in the menu. But for high contrast - strange backlighting like shooting with a window in the background with sunlight shining through, HDR can sometimes produce some interesting results.
