I don't think he was complaining about the quality (although for a 3+ MP advantage I wouldn't be proud of those shots).
To my eyes… they’re roughly the same quality once taken. And if I’m not mistaken the 1st gen iphone is a 2.0 megapixel camera and the droid is 5 megapixels. Yeesh that’s embarrassing.
Reports have complained that the Droids camera takes ages to open, shoot, and process. I'll bet that's what he meant when he said it really sucks. That would make sense, given that the device must process a lot more to take in all 5MP. Hopefully they'll refine this process in the future for faster shots.
- dfischer 17y ago+1 you got it.
- rimantas 17y agoIs there any hope that someday people will stop to think that more Mpx is more quality? It's just bigger size, that's all. And if more Mpx are crammed on the sensor of the same size, that usually means more noise too.
- kwamenum86 17y agoRight but you get better quality in two scenarios: 1) take two pictures of the same size yields a better result with more megapixels 2) taking a larger sized picture on a camera with more megapixels and scaling it down yields a better result than taking a picture at the scaled down dimensions with a lower megapixel camera
- pkulak 17y agoI don't think so. A high noise shot scaled down still will have a bunch of noise in it. Double the pixel sensor size and you get a much better picture, in my experience. For example: HD video cameras. They look like crap in the dark, even at YouTube dimentions. My Flip video SD beats them hands down.
- dkokelley 17y agoI don't think we'll see the end of it any time soon. It's marketing. People have been told that more MP = better. It's really only professionals who know that there is much more depth to digital camera quality.
