I really don't like the camera on my Droid X phone. 8 mega pixels you say? Bah! My old iPhone had far less, but took far better pictures. I don't know if it's the lens, or the software, or what, but the Droid X just doesn't take great pictures.
So the other day I was at the Amtrak station in Emeryville waiting for the train to San Jose. I saw some interesting patterns in the area near the rear entrance, so I pulled out my Droid X to snap some pics. I press and hold the camera button/shutter release to activate the camera. Wait, wait, wait, okay cool, camera is on. I compose the shot then look for an onscreen virtual shutter release, but can't find one. I recompose then press the shutter release. Nothing happens. Oops, gotta HOLD the shutter release button again. Wait, wait, wait... I give up, mutter curses under my breath as I start to put the camera away. SNAP! The phone finally takes a shot. More cursing. Then I glance down at the screen, hey, that's an interesting shot I think. I take a closer look and though the focus is off, the shot is actually a lot neater than what I had planned to shoot. Moral of the story? Just shoot. Yeah your camera might suck, but just keep shooting, it might surprise you once in awhile.
P.S. I still want the iPhone 4 for Verizon :-)
