Here are some of the best, and worst shots I've taken so far.

I saw a review on android central on the camera. They found out that outdoor photos turn out fantastic but indoor photos suffer I have confirmed this myself. It just fails to focus and pull out color on indoor shots. I hope it is not hardware and can be fixed with software updates.

And to show a little comparison, I'll throw in a few random pics from my Storm1.

To be fair, most of these were taken after many Storm OS updates... Hopefully the December updates will take care of the MotoD camera issues.

yes got to say that camera is a fail. But the video cam is amazing.

Wow, those are some seriously bad pics on the Droid. My 2MP Curve pics are a lot better.

That's one of the few things I'm going to miss on my Storm, the camera is awesome, its fast, good image quality in lots of different lighting, awesome macro abilities, it just works! Hopefully there is a software update that fixes it on the droid. I'm upgrading next Friday.

thanks SO much for the comparison pics, spampeg.

unreal -- the Storm pics are what I would have expected from the 5MP camera on the Droid.

as said before, will hope that this is fixed soon and won't even be an issue at all on the HTC Passion.

[spotmark]

The still pics absolutely stink. Hopefully it gets fixed in the coming upgrade.

Lets not freak out, I mean does anyone remember how the storm 1 camera was during its first release? Point > click > NO ONE MOVE FOR 5+ SECONDS > Whew sweet pic! After some updates now its a good camera, hopefully the droid can be fixed with some updates.

I don't get how 'software' updates fix something like a poor quality camera lens/aperture.

I think people hold out hope that a 'software update' can fix certain issues w/ their respective phones..when in actuality it's the hardware aspect that is flawed. Software updates may remedy things like a lagging OS, improved battery life as a result of a more efficient OS, etc...but picture quality? I don't know about that.

The hardware and optics on the phone are fine... great actually. By far exceeding anything I've ever personally seen on a cell phone. I recorded a mostly top down view of the interstate next to my office and simply amazed at the quality of the video. Maybe later I'll post some links to difference in video quality.

Oh, and to the person above that mentioned the Storm's camera when it first came out. True -- it was exxxxxtreeeeemely slow and painful, but the quality of those images were normally good (except for the blur/ghosting on "action" shots)

Camera is definitely not it's strong point it appears, though it looks decent with some indoor shots I tested at the store last night.

Gotta say dude, we have the same type of dog, my boxer has the same white and brindle mix! Took a double take when I saw the photo, lol.

[thinkamp]

5mp my booty! That looks baddddd!
My 8330 takes better pictures than that droid does.
I'm very upset now...

I think it has to be more software related since it takes decent shots outside.

[psufan5]

software related folks. the autofocus isnt working and I think its being fixed dec 11.
