HTC Desire - Testing The Waters

If there is one thing I will miss not having a Nokia for my main handset is the dedicated camera button. Especially with the two step autofocus feedback. Taking pictures without it just feels really unnatural. Lets be honest HTC is not renowned for their imaging capabilities, they can take OK pictures, but the experience doesn't really compare with how a Nokia does. Saying that, I did take a few snaps to test out how they would come out.

One thing I do prefer is the widescreen mode on the Desire, taking pictures in a 5:3 ratio does look better in my eyes. The colours it captured also aren't really as saturated as I would have hoped, the camera flash is way too powerful and the experience after taking a picture, not so great. But that isn't why I chose to get a Desire in the first place.

Images were adjusted and tweaked in Photoshop CS4, they can be found at my DeviantArt account, along with my previous ones taken with various Nokia handsets.

Honestly, these really don't do justice to how poor the images were, this is just another example of how good Photoshop is. Thoughts on that can be found here. Content may be king, but Nokia across the board is still king of the camera phone.
