Was the camera this bad?
 
So, I have taken a lot of pictures with my n900, but today I noticed that the quality is to crappy, does anybody knows if there is a way to make it a little better?

go take some pictures outside, low light is usually the cause of bad pictures on mediocre cameras. or try the lowlight app.

Low light? I thought the N900 had a flash?

yeah but LED flash only really makes a worthless photo into a mediocre one. it won't really do anything for stuff more than 4-6 feet away.

in some N900s the flash bounces somewhere wrong and makes flash pictures too white (i think)

Also I found that after updating to pr1.2, default image quality had been set to low...

I also have the feeling that camera quality was better with PR 1.1. I took some great photos with PR 1.1. Not so with PR 1.2.

Mothmanex's image looks par for the course for a low-light image. That's as good as I get on my N900 in this situation.

Outside, in bright sunshine, the image quality is much better.

More light, less movement...

How was that photo produced? The default camera app? I don't get that micro-bubbly effect visible at full res. It does occur however, with some sharpening algorithms. OP, any hints?

I've been nothing but impressed with its image handling. Here is a pic I took a few days ago. I think your issue is light and angle...

I know how the OP feels. I'm sure my camera has got positively pants since the PR1.2 update.

I do use fCam and the two other Nokia offerings (HDR Capture and Lowlight), but I like the widescreen feature, but that's where the default Nokia camera is worst. :confused:

Hi guys.

I'm about to buy this Nokia N900 but I heard that the front camera is not functioning well or you still have to download this "Mirror" application just to make use of it. So, I just want to ask if that issue is already solved. I'm currently using N79 which is very good when it comes to photography, I mean I think it has more camera features than n900, but still I want to upgrade my phone to n900. just want to make sure that i'll not make any wrong decisions in getting n900.

tnx guys!
:)
