OK, that pic of the car is disgusting ...




And the last pic kinda reminds me of the P900 camera ...

They are the best quality you can get right now, but im sorry to say, IMHO they just look like sharper VGA images. It makes me question whether the GX30 has a 1.3mp camera in it at all, or whether all Sharp have done is put in a good quality VGA with some software interpolation.

Of course im probably wrong. But when i compare your pictures, and other GX30 pictures like these:

with pictures taken with other 1.3mp phones, you can see the difference. These pictures were taken using the SE A5404, which is only available in Japan:

Compare the two. See how blurry the GX30's image is, even on close objects such as the orange cable next to the childrens climbing frame is all pixelated, which is something you'd expect on distant objects only.

Again id like to point out, that im certainly not biased towards SE, but their and other manufacturers IMO have far superior megapixel cameras in their handsets, including the Nokia 7610 !

I thought those pictures looked decent for a phone camera, although I admit the camera isn't my main priority when choosing a phone.

Just been reading some reviews of the GX30 as I've been tempted to get one to replace my S55 (backup to my P900 which is still unrivalled) but the GX30 seems to be a letdown in so many areas, especially the bluetooth and SD/MMC which is what initially attracted me to the phone.

sure the camera is great but that fact alone doesnt make it a good phone. It seems as if sharp concentrated all their efforts on the camera and kinda slacked on other areas. and the size of the phone isnt helping either
not my cup of tea really. if i wanted a camera i would get a proper camera. "I wanna buy a phone that takes pictures not a camera that makes calls"

Well, that's why I'm not too bothered about phone cameras, I have a good digital camera which I usually have with me, but the GX30 looked appealing with its SD/MMC and bluetooth, plus I was fancying a clamshell for something different.
