Pictures from today (iPod touch 4G)

The camera on the iPod touch is only 0.7MP so you won't catch lots of details but the shots come out pretty good.  Low light pictures are horrible, but you can see here that with good lighting results are decent.

Sample pics using Motorola Charm

As you can see, the Motorola Charm does ok, but pictures aren't very crisp.  Its a cheap phone, so you can't really expect too much.

The family is relaxing at the lake and I thought I would post a few pics using the Vibrant.

Pretty decent camera.

Small tip = better pictures from your phone

2010-08-13_16

As more people are using their phones for capturing life's moments while out and about (Canadian accent included for free) you can see that many of those photos look less than great.  Sometimes that is simply the phone camera, as some are very low-end and will never produce great shots but I have a suggestion that can help...

Clean the lens!!!!

This may seem like a no-brainer, but people forget this all the time.  We handle our phones FAR more than our cameras, and as such, the lens on the back of the phone is bound to get covered in oil from our hands and link from our pockets.  When you are about to take a picture, just wipe the lens with a kleenex, or on an article of clothing and your shots will be MUCH better.

It's a small tip, but it can make a big difference.  If it doesn't...buy a new phone. ;)

The following pic was taken with the Motorola Charm, a new Android phone with a 3mp camera.

Picture quality is...fine...but not anything outstanding.

Here are some shots from our day at the beach today. The Vibrant's camera is really quite good.
