LG enV2 Reviews

Wired reviews the LG enV2 and writes, "...There’s a 2 megapixel camera, but even if you have figured out how to comfortably hold an altoid-can-clamshell without blocking the much smaller lens with your fingers, pics and video turn out pretty grainy. Where to end? Do yourself a favor, if confronted with the choice of purchasing an enV2 think long and hard about it. After all, you're stuck with this device for two years."

PCMag reviews the LG enV2 and writes, "On the back of the enV2 there's a 2-megapixel camera; I was disappointed, however, in the image quality. Shots were generally overexposed, with white specks even in the blackest areas, resolution was low, and there's no flash. Video mode takes 320-by-240 movies but strained to reach 15 frames per second."

CNET UK reviews the LG enV2 and writes, "The enV(2) comes with a 2-megapixel camera, which, again, is unchanged from the first enV. You can take pictures in four resolutions (1,600x1200, 1,280x960, 640x480, 320x240), five white-balance settings, and five color effects. Other camera settings include a brightness control, up to 10x zoom (not available in the highest resolution), a night mode toggle, a self-timer, three shutter sounds plus a silent option, and spot metering. After taking a picture, you can rotate, zoom, and crop it thanks to the built-in image editor. Photo quality was on the mediocre side. The colors were bright, but images tended to look blurry, especially night shots. Also, there's no flash. There's also a built-in camcorder, which can record in two resolutions (320x240 and 176x144) in two lengths--short 15-second ones for multimedia messages, or as long as available storage can hold. Video quality was predictably shoddy with blurry and jerky movements, though it was all right for steady shots."
