Great pics wildman.  The issues I have with the X camera is strictly medium to low light settings.  Outdoor and bright indoor pics are beautiful.  But....I can't get over the graininess of low light shooting, it's really quite bad.

 

Other than the low quality of low light shots, i like the camera.  It's fast and the colors are way accurate.

 

Are those dune/ sand tires on your four-wheeler?  Pretty BA.

Ok that is a easy fix, try setting your ISO at 400 instead of auto on dim lighting shots, this works for me everytime.  You can find this setting by opening camera click left menu button/Settings/ISO equivalent sensitivity

You are dead on Wildman,  I just got through playing with mine in a dark room.  The first picture I took had Auto ISO, I then changed it to 400 and even as slow as 100.  This improved the speed greatly.  For those action shots (pictures of kids) that tend to come out blurry, increase the speed to 800.

I checked out the site but I'm on my work comp and its restricting some of the pics, i dont know why, but several outdoor bright light pics were seeable and they look great  but I have yet to see a pic in low light.  The few I took of my friends were blurry, not sharp at all.  If anyone can attach some night pictures using the flash, I would like to see how yours came out, I'll try to take some tonight and post on here again, will let you know the outcome.

The thing about the camera is that it has a bit of a learning curve. Its takes a bit of play time to get used to allowing the camera to focus and letting it having that split second to take the picture. The focus feature on phones is somewhat new. Its not going to take a picture as well as a camera, but its better than most phones.

 

I use Vignette, I am just more comfortable with it coming from 2.1. The only issue I have with the camera is that the lens seems to be a dirt magnet and the camcorder  doesn't like to pick up various black levels. I was taking a video of my dog and the camera had trouble processing his image.

 

You also have to understand that the phone does some post processing to your pictures. The initial picture is throw back at you doesn't alway reflect the final product.It you scroll through the pictures in your gallery you can see that they are a bit blurry when you first click them, then they clear up as the phone processes it.

I really think everyone is expecting the same quality as a regular camera, a phone simply doesnt have the hardware to acomplish this... also so many stress the 720P and 8mp resolution advertised, this is truly a resolution than a true quality, you can take a 800x600 video and filter it into a 720p  resolution and at that point the video 720p but the quality wasn't changed, also a high quality 5mp camera can beat a 8mp low grade camera any day, just because it has more mp doesn't always make it be a clearer camera.

 Heres a Droid X shot I took of a friend that was in a room with no light but a tv light across room...

And this was taken on a desk next to my bed with no light at all in the room, all light is from flash only.

Droid X camera is crap.

 

It uses CMOS (instead of CCD) which conserves power usage, but image sensor is sensitive to noise in low-light conditions.

 

I doubt it is even true 8 megapixel camera... from the looks of it, it might actually only be 1.3 - 2.0 MP camera using software to interapolate to 8MP pictures, which is probably why it's so blurry.

 

720P HD video claim... it might be 720P, but records at maybe about 5-15FPS, this is unacceptable.  That's not a video, it's a slide show.  At least 24-30FPS if you want to claim it can record video at any resolution.

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

You need to read this post because all these shots was taken with the droid x... http://forum.androidcentral.com/motorola-droid-x/22993-lets-do-post-pictures-taken-your-droid-x.html

Hear is some simply shots pulled from site.  The camera quality isnt as bad as you make it out to be, are you sure the camera setting is set on 8mp under the resolution option on your device.

 

 


 

 

Those pictures are only 400x299 and 399x225 so it proves nothing.

 

They could've been taken with a camera using CIF 352X288 image sensor.

 

If those pictures had actually been taken using Motorola Droid X, it would have been included the information in the JPG file info.

 

It's possible the the camera info was striped out during or after the pictures were processed, but not likely.

 

Also the pictures are a fraction of 3264x2448 (8MP) size Droid X is suppose to take.

If you havent realized, the forums option copies a image to the server and resizes it, so what ever changes was made was by the site. But I dont think it will matter because when someone has drawn their opion of something. I do not think there isnt anything that can be posted to make you develope a diffrent opinion. But any way, View Attachment...  Besides why would I need to lie to you about my camera shots?

I love the pic's my Droid X takes.  I have shared the photo's & everyone is so far very pleased with the quality.

I have noticed dark photo's but I attribute it to operator error because I have yet to figure out how to assure the flash takes and wait for the 'click' of the camera to take the photo.

have not updated to the newest version, but preparing right now to do so
