Outside, I prefer to use action mode as -for me- it gives the best results. Inside at home, I go for automatic because of the colors. Night shots are poor; the image on screen responds slow and is shaky. Video not yet tested.
Although the pix are not bad at all, I rate it below my Samsung
G-810 (5MP), far below my Gigabyte GCam (5MP, my best camera phone ever), but far above my Nokia 6230 (3MP, slow).
The quality of the N900 pix were in fact one of the reasons (but not the only one) to choose the N900 and not the Milestone/Droid.

Action mode is handy as you get very fast shutter speed. Not great for low light situations. Try landscape as well. Also good for outdoor shots.

The camera is quite capable at night, but you have to play with the ISO settings manually. Automatic ISO goes way to high in the dark and produces crappy pictures.

These night-shots were taken with PR 1.1.

And that just shows you

Camera Know How (ISO, Aperature Sizes, etc..) > Automatic Mode

I don't really have camera know-how. I just played a lot with the settings and took many photos with different settings. Just take your time and have some fun. The N900 is a good camera for outdoor shots, and the pictures produced by many (low- and mid-range) digi-cams are no better.

Someone should write up a guide with sample picture that are wrong and sample pictures that are right and compare the settings used to show some of us how to correctly take camera phone pictures :P
