Pictures in sunlight are bright, colorful and crisp, above average for a 2 MP imager. The EV control actually comes in handy because contrast levels at the default setting are slightly exaggerated in sunlight, more so than with other cellcams I've used (all sample shots are using the default EV setting).

Indoor shots are, of course, not as bright, a little less colorful and a little less focused, all of which is normal for cellcams sans flash.

The tiny 176 x 144 pixel QCIF 15 fps video are as nearly unwatchable as they are on every other cellcamcorder I've ever used; too small in actual size to discern anything, over-digitalized to see anything when expanded.
