With just 2 megapixels to work with, it's not surprising that the Venture takes mediocre pictures. Focus is nearly always soft, contrast is out of control, and exposure is hit or miss. You'll notice lots of blown-out colors in the images below, and can see plenty of grain despite the fact that these were taken under a bright, shining sun. They're not terrible, but they are far from good.

 

Video

The video capture quality is absolute crud. The maximum resolution the Venture can capture is CIF, which is 352 x 288 pixels. It's low-quality, wavy, grainy, not in focus, and pretty much awful. It's useless to shoot video indoors, though the Venture can be used out in bright sunshine to convey the basics of an event or scene. Don't count on it to replace your video camera, as details are missing from most video I captured.
