Review: Motorola ROKR E8
Press the spine ModeShift to activate the 2 MP camera. But wait a second for the app to load. Hitting the ModeShift button a second time before the app loads results in snapping an accidental picture.
Like all cellphone cameras, the E8 doesn't exactly have a quick shutter so you'll have to hold the phone stock still to not get a blurry picture.
You do get digital 2x, 4x and 8x zoom, but no other picture optimization such as night mode, brightness or white balance, or editing options. I couldn't rotate pictures taken in portrait mode. It does offer a 5- and 10-second self-timer, a multi-shot mode, and several picture styles: black & white, antique, negative, reddish, greenish and bluish. There is no self-portrait mirror and no flash.
Unlike the music player, you have to choose where to save the pictures, but this is the usual procedure, even with digital cameras. But be careful; if you've filled your memory or memory card with music, you might not be able to save or even send pictures.

Pictures are stored in the Multimedia/Media Finder folder (what, "My Pictures" was too complicated a menu choice?). You can choose photos from there to send via MMS, email or Bluetooth. It's also easy to make any picture your wallpaper or caller ID photo.
