Photos

Pictures taken with the Lotus Elite are solid. I was pleased with all the images I captured, even those taken indoors. The camera does a good job of figuring out white balance and exposure correctly. Most images were sharp and clean and showed little to no grain. Colors looked good, and light sources such as windows or lamps didn't confuse it too much. Not only will you be sending pictures taken with the Lotus Elite to your Facebook or MySpace pages, you may even choose to print out a few 5x7s and be proud of the quality. The Lotus Elite's status as a feature phone is clear, however. A two megapixel shooter doesn't even come close to the 5 megapixel sensors in the leading smartphones.

Video

The Lotus Elite's video quality matched that for still images. Video was steady and free of any odd jitters or distortion if you pan the camera around. There was no ghosting or smearing, and the video recorder adjusted well to large changes in the amount of light available. The videos looked good, no doubt.
