Photos

Considering that the Twist has a 3 megapixel camera with flash and autofocus, I was expecting better photos. Don't get me wrong, they're not bad, but they don't live up to what I've seen from other 3 megapixel shooters in the market. Images looked a bit soft and grainy, no matter the lighting conditions. Thankfully, color and white balance were accurately captured. As always, outdoor shots fare better than indoor shots. The flash seemed to be worthless in my book; it barely improved lighting at all.

Video

Video is incredibly grainy. I thought the quality was pretty bad. It's not even YouTube worthy. Sure, you'll be able to capture events, but the quality was so poor, I'd hardy recommend even MMS-ing videos to friends, because they'll hardly be able to tell what's going on. Even spending some time with the settings didn't do much to improve video quality.
