Post Your Photos Taken w/ 8900 Camera

**NancyDrew** · 01-29-2009, 08:44 AM

This camera is *awesome*, it makes me want to take pics of everything.

Stop eating cookies, bad for you

Gym!

Sorry, it's what I tell myself all the time...

On topic, what OS do you have? Does it take long to focus?

**Codd** · 01-29-2009, 10:06 AM

I think the camera on the 8900 was a big surprise from me, coming from a 5MP down to 3.2 I was expecting a big drop in image quality, but I'm stunned at just how good the pics it produces are!

**Cristyluv** · 01-29-2009, 12:18 PM

These pics look great unfortunately mine don't what settings are you all using?

I take that back. The photos look good when you use the side key. When I use the trackball they come out grainy. Has anyone else noticed that?

number of megapixels doesnt equalize image quality!!
in phone camera case it is even better that they decided t odecrease MP, can you imagine how big noise on photos would it produce with such a small sensor??
MP = print size NOT quality of image, i can bet that any of DSLr camera user will take a better quality shot after switching to 5mp mode than a compact camera owner even with 15mp on board, my potos from BB in few hours

How's the shutter lag? I heard there was a huge delay.

Are you able to turn off autofocus? I read in a review that there wasn't a way to disable it!

**Cristyluv** · 01-29-2009, 12:53 PM

I don't see an option to turn autofocus off.

Why do people simply refuse to use the Search function before they start a new thread in the same forum?

Actually, I did search twice, but I used the PROPER name of the device and not the CODE NAME. Don't make it seem like I'm a clueless newbie when I'm clearly not.

Hehe, happens to everyone. I just searched this forum for the word "pictures". No harm done though.

**Nazarius** · 01-29-2009, 01:55 PM

Here are a few pics I took with my phone. One was taken from inside my apartment, but of the outside (u will see why i didn't take it outside), another of my 8900 Rogers box and a couple for my kids shoes.

**Chriz** · 01-29-2009, 02:43 PM

Here 2 Pics from me.

One outside and the other trough my window from my room.

The last reply to that thread was on the 8'th of this month...ALOT of posts get buried in 11 days of Crackberry madness. Plus as she mentioned, it was posted with the code name.

But as you mentioned, no harm done. Just wanted to bring these factors up.

**superiwan** · 01-29-2009, 03:34 PM

**Noobie101** · 01-29-2009, 04:37 PM

**Chriz** · 01-29-2009, 06:07 PM

@Noobie
Yes..she loves to play with snow.

But with Water i didnt test. *g* Next Summer maybe. She loves pine cone also...If she saw a forest its the first thing she brings to me.

Outdoor Pics are exellent from the 8900. Try to make some good indoor Pics tomorrow.

Please let us know if your pictures have inconsistent resolutions (see http://forums.crackberry.com/f100/89...istent-148424/)

**intoflatlines** · 01-30-2009, 09:07 PM

So, no option to turn AF off?

u really mean it by comparing it to slr? of course its no where near. its like comparing madona and mariah carey, bmw 1 series and 7 series, even a 450D and 50D canon slr camera cant be compared. they just dont play in the same game.

the pictures taken by javelin is way better quality than any other cell phone has. on some 5-7 megapixels pocket camera, javelin can really put a competition. it loses the fight when it comes to low light condition, the flash just dont have enough power. javelin has a mechanical focusing system, that is why the focus is quite accurate and the picture is crisp.

my only problem is the size of the pictures that doesnt give a consistent width and lenght..
