I know the Nokia E71 isn't supposed to have the same photo quality as Nseries devices but come on Nokia I'm sure you can at least get rid of some of the grain seen in the photos below. I don't remember the Nokia E90 photos being this bad. Did it have a Carl Zeiss lens? I can't really remember.
Check out some of the pictures below and let me know what you think.
Indoor photo in a lit room, way to grainy...
Outdoor picture of the sun setting doesn't look too bad...
This was a bright and sunny day. Why did the picture come out so dark?
Another decent sunset photo. At least it captured some good colors...
Once again it was a bright sunny day, and the picture looks too dark.
All of those photos were taken in automatic mode. Like I said I don't expect photos from a business phone to look great, but they should at least be acceptable and a few of those photos aren't.
In a few days I'll post a comparison review of E71 vs. Blackberry Pearl photos.
What do you think? Do you also see room for improvement? Maybe with a firmware update they will look better.
What's next?

the second picture is lot better than I thought it would be,pretty nice shot indeed........
Wow... I've been interested in the E71 after seeing it a little while ago, and just recently checked prices on them on craigslist again, and they've come down considerably... but now as I've come around in my research to the camera tidbits, I must say that my previous smartphone - an HTC TyTN Pro running WM6.1 Professional with a 2MP camera - took WAY better photos than this. Even under somewhat-dimly-lit conditions, the quality looked noticeably superior to these shots. Perhaps I'll be looking at a different non-slider smartphone than the E71 after all... :-/
