How good is the quality of the camera?

I want to say it is fantastic, but the pics were very grainy looking. I was discouraged from wanting to use it again. I even tried downloading "better camera apps" but they didn't work out so great either. Another concern for me was the brightness of the flash. It was not nearly as bright as needed to be. It seemed more like an LED soft white light. My understanding of the product is the company may somewhat be new, so there is room for improvement but so far it's not quite there. Another main concern is the internal volume for music and media is way to soft. I am a radio on air personality and at the station we have a few options on how to play music. CDs, records ( believe it or not ), and so on. I myself use my phones' mp3 player along with an app called Dj mixer because of the cross fade option it has. The app works great on this device, how ever I need it to be able to play louder through the head fone jack to the imput on our sound board so the ohms can reach unison. I had my sound board to max along with the volume on the tablet and I still could not reach the ohms needed. I have the app on my DROID and it worked fine, however I am at the mercy of people trying to call my phone or text while a song is playing, because it will shut the player off in the middle of a song. I needed this tablet for exactly that, and it sadly, did not come through for me. I hate writing bad reviews, and I apologize for it, but it did not meet my specific needs. I'm sure it will be fine for someone elses personal needs and I hope I'm right. over all: the device is good for most useage, except for camera and flash, and media volume... everything else is good. Thank you for reading, and take care

The front cam for video calls etc is very low resolution (0.3MP) .. the rear is 2MP (Megapixels). Most modern cameras are now 10MP+ Think of the price though ($69) .. this has been a great reliable android tablet with a nice screen. It runs apps great and does have a good resolution screen. It is well worth it's cost but don't think it will be a great camera device.

Pretty bad. You can use it for simple videos & pictures, but don't expect great quality or resolution.

Yes. It's a good camera in low light conditions. You can take the ISO very high and the auto focus does well in low light conditions. Good luck!

So to accurately describe it I think it is definitely better than average, I don't think it is great as the quality of the pictures is certainly better with better lighting but compared to other cameras I've had in the past I think the performance is more than acceptable.

Camera quality is not great but ok. The battery life is good. I had this phone for a while and I love it.

In my opinion, this camera is more than acceptable. It has amazing lowlight capabilities, incredible image quality, etc. My girlfriend is the publisher of a Parenting Magazine and has shot covers with it. It is hands down one of the best cameras she or I have used for still photography and the absolute best in this price range. We're thrilled with it, and it is absolutely a true professional grade camera.

The camera outputs 1080p, but no camcorder in this segment gets close to that in effective resolution. I find the picture reasonably good, but in terms of sharpness, an entry level canon dslr with movie mode will knock its socks off. But,and there is a big but, that comes at the expense of all the other issues you will have in terms of doing the filming with a dslr, like manual focusing (most models), audio recording (poor mic and level adjustments), panning (rolling shutter), ++.For home video, shooting kids in action, this camera is as good as it gets for the price in my opinion.

I bought this camera (ZS40) recently. In my experience, (I use the iA setting) the day time photos were very good although the night time (low light) photos were not very good; they had 'noise'. However, the video clips were very good and, I like the optical zoom of 30 times.

I wont call the video quality great, but it is decent. The sole purpose I bought the camera was for pictures and videos from a rugged, affordable camera. So far it has held it's end of the bargain

Picture quality is all you would want from a product of this price. We have a system with four cameras so the system shows all four on the screen so the quality is reduced but hopefully the camaras themselves are a deterent and the quality is still good enough to identify who is in the shot. I am moving and leaving our system at our old house but will be purchasing the same system at our new place.

The camera is good. I've used it for instagram and posting to fb. Sometimes it looks grainy but need to make sure the settings are on the highest resolution/pixels possible.

Yes and its actually pretty good. Better than I thought it would be. The rear camera is awesome as well.

Yes the video quality is good. Got this for my son and his videos using the 1020 fps feature are hilarious so he told me to make sure I mention this feature in my comment. Picture quality is also good and when I used this in our Siem Reap trip recently I was impressed at how well it adjusts to the different types of lighting. Great, easy to carry around, camera!

I have no complaints. Love the camera. Took amazing pics underwater!!! And happy with the indoor pics as well. It isnt a professional camera... If your looking for professional quality pics then shop on. I am a photographer and know this is a point and shoot and it does its job very well!

Yes, I am very happy with this camera. I use a Leica M9, how ever it is not suitable for all circumstances, this camera fills in the gaps.

The camera is very well set up as far as navigating the menus and explaining what they are. I think that's it's best feature. With mine, however, photo quality was inconsistent, so that's a consideration.

Yes, it is. And the videos are pretty decent. For a minimum investment, this camera is very good.

Well, the shutter freezes on mine, and the pictures are hit and miss, mostly hit. But overall, I would say it is a good camera!
