Images look about as good as you'd expect from a low-end, 2 megapixel camera. Colors are washed out, even in outdoor light, and bright spots are drastically overexposed. Detail falls prey to noise and heavy blurring. Even at best, images have an oversharpened look that resembles a still image from a VHS tape. Reds are blown out of their boundaries, though the camera handles greens nicely. There is no flash and no auto focus, so the camera is best used under ideal, well-lit circumstances. These images will be useful as MMS messages and simple wallpapers, but you won't want to share them on MySpace or Facebook unless you absolutely must.

Video

Video quality from the camcorder on the LG Rumor Touch was a total mess. My video was dense with blocky pixels and wavy whenever the camera was moving. Colors were drab and washed out. Details were puffballs of fuzziness instead. The camcorder also failed to record my voice narrating the sample video.
