I’ve been surprised by the fact I don’t seem to have the auto-focus problems that have been described in the “first-look” Droid reviews.

My photos seem to be consistently in focus. What am I doing right?

(conforming to standards found in camera magazines) …i can’t see any sense in this playing around but passing some author’s sparetime

How fast does the cam app start? For comparring its snapping capabilities its essential to compare the time it takes from pulling the camera out of your pocket to the actual picture. And for practical day to day use, is it easy to share a pic by various data means?

Just shows how much software influences final results. Hopefully the Droid can fix their crappy output with a firmware patch. I have heard the Droid VIDEOS are pretty good though. Man JK you are living in phone heaven having the top three in your pocket (envy).

Even if you zoom the pictures until they are about the same size (easy enough in Opera anyway, ctrl+mouse scroll button) the Droid shot looks worse than the far lower res iPhone shot.

There’s banding too. It’s suppose to be fixed with the Dec 11 patch. I’ve been having some success with turning off autofocus, but the images still come out fuzzy half the time.
