Loving my new Droid X

Yeah, I know the iPhone just came out for Verizon and yeah, I had planned on pre-ordering one at midnight. I actually bought my Droid 2 days before the iPhone hit stores and wondered if I had made the right decision. Since having this phone, I have not looked back... I am not going to sit here and review the phone's features (which would take quite awhile) other than the one that pertains to this blog...the camera.
I love this camera. Clear pics in low-light, customizable settings that would rival most prosumer point-and-shoots, 8 megapixel resolution and, get this, an actual mechanical shutter. It also has some pretty robust native editing programs. Not to mention 720p HD video at 24fps. Its pretty cool. But enough words...



This is just the standard camera sample

It also has a setting that will assist you in taking a 6-shot panorama, then stitch the photos together for you.

This is an app called Retro Camera. Very cool effects, simulating the old-skool toy cameras.
