Photos

Image quality was actually not bad for a 3.2 megapixel camera. I was expecting much worse, but I was pleasantly surprised by the photos the Samsung Craft took in my test run. Colors were bright and mostly accurate, except for a few bright red flowers that blew out the sensor and bled into their surroundings. The camera couldn't handle mixed light very well, so backlit spots outdoors tend to shine brightly and overshadow the borders between fore- and background.

Indoors, there was plenty of noise, but it was kept mostly in check to the point it looked like a pleasant film grain rather than speckled color noise. The phone even did a respectable job with the flash, rendering my action figures with accurate colors instead of washing them in harsh blue light.

Video

The Samsung Craft can shoot videos up to VGA resolution. The video camera is a mixed bag. My videos looked pretty good, and again the camera did a fine job with colors. The camcorder even handled the switch from indoor to outdoor light better than I expected. Motion was a problem, and you might get sea sick watching feature length home movies shot with the Craft. One serious problem: the camcorder did not record any sound. All of my movies were silent. There was no setting to fix this issue, so I'm assuming it was a bug and hoping it will be fixed.
