Photos

With the Quickfire's 1.3 megapixel camera, I wasn't expecting the pictures to be all that great. Truthfully, they weren't all that bad. Indoor shots were relatively sharp, and colors were well represented. White balance turned out to be pretty good, as did exposure levels. Grain was only visible if you blow them up a lot on a computer monitor. On the Quickfire's screen, they all look good. Outdoor shots were even better. In all, the pictures are definitely Facebook and MySpace worthy.

Video

Video captured with the Quickfire was just 'OK'. Resolution can be set to MMS-friendly 176x144 or a YouTube-friendly 320x240. Video quality looked about the same, though. Motion was a little bit stuttery, and out of focus. The video camera reacted to big changes in light well, but there was a lot of ghosting if you pan the Quickfire around while recording. There was lots of grain and visual noise in the video, and it was unsettling to see the lack of focus until the Quickfire was held still.
