I've been looking at lots of samples of pictures taken by the n900 camera. They all look really good and blow other cell cameras out of the water.

I know its not meant to be as good as a high end point and shoot, and maybe compete with the lower end ones.

However, my judge of a camera's quality is generally if I find a sign with some text on it that is just out of my readable range (which I have 20/17 vision) and I snap a picture of it on the camera at base optical zoom, then I should be able to go to the saved image, zoom in on the text and be able to read it, even if it is only just better than what I could do with my eyes.

So basically in my opinion a good camera should capture more detail in a scene than even my eyes can.

Does the n900 camera pass this test? With only 5 MP I'm thinking maybe not, but anyone care to comment?
