This post is not intended to be one that critiques the camera of the Sony Ericsson Arc or other such devices.
My intention here is to simply show that how for the average smartphone user, devices such as the Arc can be used as replacements to digital cameras in some scenarios.
I am not a big camera user but from time to time I like to get some photos and carrying just one device is convenient. My HTC Desire always took what I considered to be more than acceptable shots, but switching to the Arc has made me realise just what differences do exist.
Megapixels should relate to the size of the overall image, but there are more technical things that come into play – but that is for another day.
Just take a look at the following 4 photos, the first 2 were taken on the Sony Ericsson Arc with standard settings, whilst the last took were taken on the HTC Desire with standard settings – see the differences?
Wow! What a difference!
I’ve got the HTC Desire HD and find the camera a pain. The only decent photos I get are those taken on sunny days. Others are incorrectly exposed/contrasted. Indoor shots have a horrendous yellow tinge which is marginally better following settings advised by others (through Android Forums) for the DHD. Quite disappointing actually, as the phone is generally good. The issues I have with it are:
Crap camera
Crap battery life
Crap HTC Sense linkup.
Otherwise,it’s my main internet machine AND it kicks iPhone’s butt!
is this surprising?
sony is a brand name! most people consider Sony tv, Sony walkman, Sony Camera, the best!
