Photos

The Instinct has a 2 megapixel camera. Outdoor shots looked good, but not stunning. There is plenty of good color and the pictures are reasonably sharp. The same cannot be said for indoor images. I noticed a lot of vignetting (darkening of the corners) on a lot of shots taken inside. Indoor shots are also more prone to trigger the "Fuzzy Image Warning" and definitely look softer than images taken outdoors. If you're looking for basic image capturing, the Instinct gets the job done, but its certainly doesn't compare to the iPhone's camera.

Videos

Best results were obtained with the video camera when it is held still. Moving it around, even a little, pushes everything out of focus. The video recorder did do a decent job at responding to drastic lighting changes, though. And when it is held still, produced video clips that are worth sharing via MMS or YouTube. CNN will likely not use it for its iReports, though, as the fine quality just isn't there.
