Image quality from the Dell Aero's 5 megapixel camera was atrocious. Indoors, pictures were almost unrecognizable. All of my subjects were blurred, even though the camera tried to auto focus. I saw vertical lines on many shots, rendering them unusable. Most pictures lost their bright colors, and images looked like they had been dunked in a tank of dirty water. Outside, under bright sunlight, some images looked okay, though on close inspection they lacked detail. The brightest spots would overexpose to hot pink glare, which looked plain silly. I might send the best of my shots as tiny MMS messages, but I wouldn't email these pics or share them on any social network.

 

Video

Videos also looked lousy. At its best, the Aero can only shoot in QVGA resolution. Videos had all the standard phone camcorder issues, like a wavy quality when the camera was in motion and plenty of pixelated noise. The Aero also had terrible light sensitivity. Most of my videos looked very dark, even when I was outside on a bright, sunny day.
