Photos

Two megapixels doesn't offer the largest canvas on which to capture digital images, but the Restore does fairly well for what it is. Despite the lack of autofocus, most images were clear and sharp. Detail was pretty good with outdoor shots, though in bright sunlight it was easy for colors to become overblown. The Restore will definitely be a good MMS and maybe even Facebook machine, but anything more than that is probably asking too much of a 2 megapixel shooter.

Video

Video quality was much the same. Color representation was good, and details was evident. There was plenty of digital artifacting, and there was some weird waviness when panning the Restore around. The limitations of the Restore relegate it to MMS-worthy video. I wouldn't even bother uploading anything to YouTube from the Restore.
