Review: Samsung Transform
Photos
Image quality from the 3 megapixel camera on the Samsung Transform wasn't bad. A few images even looked pretty good. Indoors, there was more grainy noise than I would have liked, even in a room with lots of wide open windows. My indoor shots were also a bit blurry, but colors were fairly accurate, and pictures weren't unpleasant. Outside, on a bright, sunny day, the camera took shots that were reasonably sharp, for a 3MP shooter, without obvious problems from mixed light or bright, direct sun. The small sensor had trouble with deep red colors, as most small sensors do, but it wasn't as bad as other cameras I've used recently. The camera's macro mode even provided some detailed close-ups.
I wouldn't say these pics are all print-worthy, though you could probably print the occasional 4 by 6. Good shots will definitely be worth sharing on Facebook or other social networks. Most importantly, you won't be embarassed by lousy pictures if you set Pixel Pipe to automatically upload every single shot you take.
Video
For low resolution videos, again I was pleasantly surprised by what the Samsung Transform delivered. Video quality wasn't great, not even very good, but videos didn't exhibit many of the common problems I see on mobile camcorders, like wavy motion or faded colors. Videos looked bright and somewhat clear, though there was plenty of blockiness and fuzzy details to go around. Sound quality on videos is lousy. My voice sounded very muffled recorded with the phone's mic.
