The auto focus starts out enabled. The image stabilization is turned off by default however. Turn it on in the cameras options for an even better image. also the next release is supposed to fix the camera delay as well as some other stuff like the remaining delay on the accelorometers. Next update is .83 or something.

Nice job with the side by side!

I think the Storm is better at lighting because it’s using an OmniVision TrueFocus chip. The focusing is handled by the processor, so it doesn’t need to be stopped down for picture taking like the Bold does.

Ever think about doing a review on the video capture? Don’t you think it’s kinda weird that everything’s in focus all the time, yet there’s no delay for the changing focus?

Does anyone know what the video file extension is for the Storm?? Hope Storm video can be massaged in Media Center without conversion software.

Wish RIM had built in the feature to upload video directly to You Tube.

Glad to hear the Storm camera is better, the Curve camera has been very disapointing. The quality is not great and the pix always turn out too dark. I just wish the Storm had more megapixel; Nokia has a cell with 5mgpx and the Ziess optics!

anonymous,

As I said, both were set to auto. So if the Storm were to decide for you that flash was better in that instance, that’s something to be aware of.

However, the flash did go off on my Bold. I think the Storm flash is much brighter, or as Bradley said, my Bold just has a poopy camera.

It looks like you used a flash for the photo from the Storm, but not with the photo from the Bold. I believe that is the reason for the huge difference in quality.

@will,

Takes images very quickly, just like the Bold.

@DavidB,

Hard to say. Recorded video on the bold looks good until you post it. Telus Storm def. looked better, but I’m going to have to play with it more to see if the quality holds up once it gets to YouTube.

ya I heard it has image stabilizing, which would be so cool, also my Bold seems to take better pictures than the ones posted as well.

How long does it take to take pictures with the Storm?

Most of my pictures come out much better on my AT&T Bold than yours. Not as good as the Storm though.

Whoa! A world of a difference. I thought the Bold did a pretty good job the first time i played with it. Now I can remember clearly that I was on LSD at the time. Haha!
