Review: Motorola Droid Pro
Photos
Image quality from the pictures I took with the Droid Pro's 5-megapixel camera was very good. Even though the phone doesn't use a two-stage camera button, the phone will automatically focus for you. Some of my outdoor shots looked fantastic, even print worthy. Maybe that Print to Retail feature in the gallery will prove itself useful. My best shots had plenty of fine details, especially in macro mode. There was no noise problem in my pictures, indoors or outside. The camera also did a nice job with complex lighting conditions and reducing harsh glare. Inside, under low light situations I saw plenty of graininess, which wasn't terrible because the camera eliminated almost all of the multi-colored speckled noise I usually see on camera phones. The flash is quite bright, too, and it was more than adequate for lighting up a scene. The lighting may be focused and a bit harsh, but you'll see plenty of detail, so it will come in handy if a picture opportunity comes up in a dark room.
Video
The camcorder on the Motorola Droid Pro was likewise impressive. The phone shoots video at 720 by 480 pixel resolution, which is a bit wider than a standard DVD, but it's not what I would call hi-def. That's fine, because videos from the Droid Pro were better than many camcorder phones that shoot at full 720p resolution. The camcorder did have trouble switching from dim light to a more bright environment. It adjusted very slowly. But colors were bright and details were nice and clear. There were few visible compression artifacts and no blockiness to my videos. The microphone also did a great job picking up my voice. It was easy to accidentally cover with my hand while shooting, but when I was conscientious and kept my fingers away, my voice came through loud and clear.
