For a 1.3 Megapixel, the Pearl scores relatively poorly with a 20/60 on the vision test. Even when taking a close up of the eye chart, the bottom of is quite blurry. The Pearl had a difficult time in many lighting conditions. Colors were washed out when taken under overcast or indoor lighting, and over-exposed when taken with the sun overhead. However the Pearl did very well in the dark. The flash is so bright that sometimes photos came out better by turning it off and just leaving the very competent night mode to its own devices.
