The Moment has a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash. Pictures are OK, but not stupendous. I found most images captured indoors to be soft and grainy. The flash did little, except throw off white balance completely. The Moment will certainly get the job done outdoors, though. It gets colors and focus right, but white balance was inconsistent. I would not use the Moment as a replacement for a stand-alone camera, but it certainly suffices in a pinch.

 

Video

Video captured with the Moment was marginally better than the video captured with devices such as the G1 or myTouch, but it's not nearly as good as what the Motorola CLIQ is capable of. It was somewhat grainy, showed some digital artifacts, lacked clarity and was sometimes clouded.

Don't get me wrong, the ability to upload directly to YouTube makes the whole video-shooting experience more fun and sharing is great. I just wish the Moment captured video that was a smidgen better. It's so close, but just manages to fall short of "good".
