Crappy camera

Right after I got my A1000 I realized that the camera was, to put it mildly, lousy. I was hoping to leave my Ixus at home, but that hasn´t worked out. As a matter of fact, one of the sales reps in a 3 store said that the A1000 had one of the best cameras. Of course, he knew nothing about cameras.

I have prepared some pics taken with my A1000 and an NEC e616v to show the difference. The e616v has a VGA (640x480) resolution, but takes better pictures. But I haven't found the time to design the comparison - perhaps in the future.

Meanwhile, today I found a thread in 3G Forum where quite a few users have reached similar conclusions as I. From my point of view the camera in the A1000 is useless. It is extremely grainy indoors, needs to be more or less mounted on a tripod, clicks before it actually takes the picture and the colors can hardly be called colors. Guess I have to live with that, because the A1000 has so many benefits that balances the camera deficiencies.
