Photos

I found photos taken with the Omnia II to be pretty good. It has 5 megapixels. Full-sized images were sharp and clear. The Omnia II managed to get white balance right in even difficult settings. Obviously, photos taken with bright lighting — such as outdoors — were good. The Omnia II also did fairly well indoors. The flash helps quite a bit when taking close-ups of your friends and family. You're not going to be shy about posting images captured with the Omnia II to Facebook, MySpace or any other photo-sharing service. The Omnia II certainly can replace a point-and-shoot in a pinch.

Videos

The Omnia II can shoot video in four different resolutions, including high-def 720 x 480, 640 x 480, 320 x 240, and MMS-friendly 176 x 144. You can also shoot in slow-motion. This gives users a lot of flexibility when it comes to shooting video.

The results are quite good. There'd be nothing stopping the enterprising film maker from piecing together some fun clips into a short movie. Exposure and white balance were accurate and grain was minimal.
