XDA2i Camera worse than XDAII?

[MooChaqa]

Even though the XDAIIi cam is 1.3mp the images it produces are awfull!

The upgrade from 0.3mp to 1.3mp is a big selling point for this device, and some people are making the upgrade based on this alone!

Ive taken a couple of pics for you guys to compare.

Any confirmations or comments are welcome!

Why aren't you guys more talkative?

OK bro!


From the 3 photos posted the one by XDA II is definitely the best.

Have you make sure the XDA IIi got its best setting for the resolution concerned like its ambience, contrast, saturation, gamma and sharpness?

I would like to upgarde to IIi if its available in my country but now I have second thought after seeing its camera capability. I hope when it's release it would have the camera issue resolved.

Well, it looks worse but it may just be your brightness, contrast, etc..

Hey, BTW, when did XDAII start taking photos at 480x960? Mine can only do 480X640 no matter how I tweak the settings... Did I miss something?

Well spotted!

No, that was my mistake it was only 480x640.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I have tinkered with the settings somewhat, I tried to match them before taking the shots and have tinkered with the XDAIIi settings alone to try and improve it aswell, however no luck.

There is a 'night' settings on the IIi although it makes the pics even worse, and has white flecks all over the image!

It's such a shame, WM2003 SE is great! Integrated WiFi is awesome!
This cam really lets it down though.

I've finally made my decision:

Mines going back. It just doesn't cut it.

So then, how long before the next WM device from O2?

And what can we expect?

Have U ungrade ur ROm to i-mate's latest ROm? I realize that the camera's "nightmode" indeed remove those white flecks. But I admit my xdaII's camera (WM2003SE download from xda-developer) is nicer than the original PDA2's camera

On my PDA2,I reckon the resolution is much higher; it's hard to tell on computer screen but once U magifiy it (ZOOM in) then U will find L is L (640x480) and why we need XL 1024x640

The next concern: anyone know any patch or .cab to improve the camera spec in order to get better quality of pic? cheers~

The quality very depends on the settings and adjustments. I took 5 pics(3 indoor,2 outdoor)with my Himalaya(VGA Cam). There are too many differences which causes the adjustments. Take a look...
