Is the picture quality really bad, even for web usage?

See my detailed review, but if you're interested in only pictures to use on internet and social media sites, it is passable. However, overall the results were inconsistent.

We've taken some great pictures with this camera. It is not always consistent though. I do like the camera.

Thanks for your response. So... Is there any difference in picture quality?

The picture on my set is nice and crisp. First off use only an HDMI cable. If you are using any other way to connect, you will not have the best picture. If you are using a cable box, make sure the resolution is set to 1920x1080I as many cable boxes default to a lower resolution setting. I had to adjust my setting even though it was a "high definition" box. Hope this helps.

@ NC movie man.Sorry, but not good. Your video quality probably looks good when watching cartoons or using a SDTV (non HD). The pixellation you describe - I have not seen. On my TV, a 47" LCD Flat Panel, lack of clarity is the problem. Picture quality is about as good as the worst SDTV Satellite channels that I occasionally watch.If you installed computer software when setting up your modem, it might indicate your download speed.

I t does. ...it's not great though. . It's like one or two mega pixels. .. not great for photos if that's the intention

This is a common problem with some HDTVs. If you jack up the contrast and sharpness to maximum, you'll eliminate all the artistic qualities that make films look the way they do. I saw a bunch of demo units in the store showing Fifth Element and King Kong and they looked simply awful, exactly as you said: looks like shot for TV using a consumer digital camera. I prefer to watch movies the way the filmmakers meant for me to watch them. (though this is highly variable, due to people's screen sizes, color calibration settings, etc.) AutoMotion, TrueMotion, or whatever the manufacturers call it, may be fine for sports games and car races, but I don't want to mess w/ a film's original artistic representation. DPs (directors of photography) and cinematographers get paid tons of $$ to make a film look good and stylize. Why ruin it w/ edge enhancement, frame doubling, etc?

Yes, I'd recommend 400 DPI, its a bit slower but the picture comes out a lot better

If you do not care about the resolution or quality of the pictures then you may be alright with it. Just make sure the room of viewing is very dark as well. This item is very inexpensive but like the saying goes" You get what you pay for! "

Yes, but JPEG rendering is really really bad. Raw files are amazing. They hold a lots of shadow details. Right now I'm only using d800e and leica m240. But I had a great time with this affordable camera

more importantly, how will the image quality be and will it be worth owning? reviews of the P80 were not kind. I'm hoping they have fixed this issue.

Yes, but honestly the image quality suffers. I don't ever use them for that reason.

At the highest resolution the lag time is about 2-4secs. On the lower settings there is almost no lag, and still decent pics.

in my opinion it is not good at all. I hardly ever use it now just because the resolution isn't very good. Reminds me of the camera my flip phone used to have.

It's shiny, so you *will* get glare off it depending on the angle of any light coming into the room. And you have to adjust the tilt of the screen depending on where you're sitting & how tall you are. But is is a TERRIFIC picture quality! However, as I said in my review the sound quality stinks. Use headphones or a plug-in speaker.

My experience with this camera was that image quality was poor all around. Not sure if I received a defective model or what, but I returned it.

I have it set to Hi as well but I wouldn't think it is more than 480p at absolute best. Pretty grainy. Good camera for the price but for good detail that your looking for can cost upwards of a $1000 and doesn't work with this system. my 2 cents...

The quality is pretty good, but you may have to configure it. I was unimpressed with the first pictures until I realized that there are settings for it. Select media, then push the gear at the bottom of the screen. Select "quality" and you can select from normal, fine and HD.
