Review: Pantech Matrix Pro

Photos

Considering the Matrix Pro has a 2 megapixel camera, it really doesn't do that poorly. Most images were sharp and clear, with good white balance and exposure. The only places the camera really had trouble were when there was light reflecting off of the surface of the subject. You'll notice some ghosting on one of the images below. As with many camera phones, images shot in darkened environments, such as bars, clubs or restaurants, were not all that great, and introduced a lot of grain. It's safe to say that you'll get decent pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge on your trip to San Francisco, but taking shots of your friends or family at a restaurant are going to be mediocre at best.

Video

Video shot with the Matrix Pro was OK, not great. There were major amounts of pixelization and grain. The videos were also shaky as I panned about, though the video recorder did react well to drastic changes in light, such as walking outside.

Video can only be captured at 176 x 144, but it can be set from anywhere from a 30-second limit to no limit at all.
