Nokia 6600 camera

Night mode just leaves the shutter open for longer so it takes in more
light, you would have to hold the phone very still to get a good picture. No
its not broken its same with all Nokia's. Its not night vision.

Guys,

The night mode camera on my 6600 is extremely poor quality (got all kinda
interference, lines, white spots all over) - in the daytime it's perfect.
Does anyone else experience something similar? I'm thinking if the camera
was broken, the pics would be rather crap all the time, rather than just at
night. (BTW I'm not talking about extremely low light conditions, semi-lit
room).

All I wanna know is: is my camera knackered?

Thanks

It uses a cheapo web-cam quality *CMOS* image device, and noise in low
light conditions is inherent with these. AFAIK most mobile-phones use CMOS
image devices.

Nope it's normal.

Real digital cameras (Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Kodak, etc) tend to use *CCD*
imaging devices, and these are much less noisy in low light conditions.
Also real digital cameras are equipped with *flash* , something
camera-phones do NOT have.

Nothing wrong with it. You want decent indoor pictures ? Then get a real
digital camera.

Oh yeh I knew there where exceptions, that's why I said 'tend to use'
rather than 'always use' :-) BTW my 4megapixel Canon Ixus is most
definately CCD.
