The Epic 4G Touch's sensor is capable of capturing 8 megapixels. I was generally impressed with its performance. Given the solid camera controls, you can fine-tune the Epic 4G Touch to handle pretty much any lighting situation. Even if you don't futz with the controls, the automatic settings do a commendable job.

In the images I captured, I noticed that the Epic 4G Touch had a little bit of trouble with exposure under bright daylight conditions, but color always looked good. Both indoors and out, images were sharp, clear, and free of digital noise and other garbage. The Epic 4G Touch can easily be used to replace a point-and-shoot on any vacation.

The Epic 4G Touch can also capture 1080p HD video. Panning the Epic 4G Touch around produced some choppiness, but otherwise, HD video looked very, very good. I was pleased with the overall clarity of the video and the lack of smearing. Colors were accurate, and exposure was also good.
