Camera

The RIZR had a 2 MP camera with flash to back-it-up in areas with low-lighting. The camera isn't really amazing when compared to Sony Ericsson's K750i. The camera module seems to be picked from LG as there is an LG logo hindering the screen when in the camera app.

The camera app has a few options; more like customization to me. Even if you are the best at photography unless you want to click funny snaps, you wouldn't use these options. Here is a list of options; Zoom (1x up to 8x), Style (Color, Black and White, Bluish, Antique, Reddish, Greenish, Negative), Exposure (-2 to +2), and Light Conditions (Auto, Sunny, Cloudy, Indoor Home, Indoor Office, Night). There is no separate night mode; so, you have to navigate to Light Conditions and select Night to get the best quality while clicking snaps in the night.

The video of the RIZR is pretty acceptable, obviously better than the Sony Ericsson's (and yeah I don't have anything against Sony Ericsson I own a W800). The video has the same set of options seen in the camera. You can record videos at three different qualities (Small, Medium, and Large.) The large resolution size is 352 x 288 pixels, which is still QCIF. All the three qualities of recordings are done in .3GP format.

The camera position is slightly odd according to me. There were quite a few times I found my finger obstructing the camera lens. But that was only when clicking snaps while the phone is in standard orientation; else in side orientation, it's out of the question unless you're a lefty.
