Review: LG GS505 Sentio

Photos

Photos captured with the Sentio's 3 megapixel camera were not quite up to par with the quality of the camera software itself. The lack of autofocus hurts a little bit, and I found many images to be soft and lacking fine detail. Exposure was a mixed bag. Sometimes it got everything perfect, but other times images would be drastically under- over-exposed. Taking pictures indoors, in darker rooms in particular, is a real problem. It simply doesn't perform well, and since it lacks a flash, you're more or less out of luck in dim places. Sure, you might get a few TwitPic or Facebook-worthy shots, but they are the exception rather than the rule.

Video

The Sentio's video capabilities match those of the camera. Video is definitely not YouTube worthy, though if you absolutely have no other way to capture your kids' home run, it will come through in a pinch. There's grain all over the place, exposure is inconsistent, and nearly everything is marred by blockiness and other digital artifacts.
