Review: Motorola Triumph
Photos
The Triumph's 5 megapixel shooter is mostly good, though not perfect. Focus was consistently good — meaning mostly sharp photos. I saw only a few images that were a bit soft. Color/white balance was nearly always correct, but brightness/exposure suffered a bit, leading to shots with blown out areas and lost detail. Also, grain/noise was consistently noticeable in images captured with the Triumph.
Indoor shots, as typical, weren't as great as those captured outdoors, but the flash helped a little bit in the darkest places. It's not going to substitute for some good old sunshine, but it will at least light up those smiling faces within an arm's reach or so.
Are the results worth sharing? Sure, they'll suffice for the typical selection of social networks, but don't expect to be blowing them up into 16 x 20 prints.
Video
The Triumph captures up to 720p HD video. The video camera software offers many of the same features as found in the still camera. That means you can do a lot of fun stuff before your shoot, though not so much afterward, as there aren't any video editing tools.
As for video quality, white balance was good, colors looked bright and rich, focus was a bit too soft, and the Triumph had trouble handling mixed lighting (some brights, some lows). I saw a lot of washed-out details. Also, the same graininess found in photos is evident in the video.
The video is worth sharing when it was shot under optimal conditions. What does that mean? If you used the Triumph to shoot 720p HD video of your friends at the skate-boarding park at noon, it'll look good on your HDTV. If you shoot your friends looking like fools while playing Wii in the basement, it's not going to look that great.
