Review: Samsung Sunburst

Photos

Image quality was pretty bad, but I didn't expect much from a 2 megapixel camera. Pictures were blurry and washed out looking. Indoors, there was plenty of noise. Bright backlight completely dominated scenes with mixed lighting. These pictures are fine for simple MMS messaging, but I wouldn't upload them to Facebook, even if I could. With all the photo effects you can apply, these pics are more for having fun on the phone than serious photo work.

Video

Video quality was likewise poor, even worse than the still images. Videos would shake and waver like I was filming underwater. The image would burst with noise as soon as I moved the camera around, regardless of lighting. Overall, the quality was not good for videos. Useful in emergencies, perhaps, but I wouldn't share or upload these if I didn't have to.
