The camera on the Sprint Snap seems just fine to me for a 2.0 megapixel. Definitely not a Canon replacement, but not bad for what it is.

Default Better than the Dash

The camera in the Dash 3G is much better. Image quality and sensor speed are much improved.

Default Dash 3G/Maple Camera

I personally think it's adequate for a phone-based 2MP cam. Compared to other offerings 'tho, it's probably below average.

Just to review...your Dash has a 1.3MP cam, the Dash 3G has a 2MP cam and the My Touch 2 has a 3MP cam. I don't know if I'd consider that a significant difference, but YMMV.

Some reviews:

Mobile Tech Review - My personal favorite review site, but no camera shots for the Maple in this one

WireFly - Has three sample photos

Don't forget: the amount of MP's tells you only a small bit of how the quality will be. It only tells what the resolution of the pics will be. Sure, low-res pics aren't pretty, but 2.0 MP should be sufficient. Now the funny part: a phone with an 8 MP camera but with a crappy lens can take uglier pictures than a 2 MP camera with a good lens. The lens is the most important factor. The only way to decide is looking at pictures taken by the phones and compare them .
