Sprint HTC Hero camera review
I heard from a lot of people who were frustrated by the camera coverage (or lack of it) from other Hero reviewers, so here’s what I hope is an in-depth review. The first video is me walking through the camera software. Below it are sample photos and videos from Hero. Other than switching video resolutions to show each of the available options, I left all settings at the defaults (auto).
I am not a professional photographer, so I am simply presenting you with the experience and results rather than critiquing them. As a layman, the only observation I want to make about the end product is that indoor photos tend to be blurry. In the sunlight, where the shutter speed is much quicker, it is easy enough to get a clear pic. Still, of every four photos I took, one was useless.

I find that the camera is good but not terribly amazing. For one thing, the pictures are prone to be very blurry.. and if you're in a dark room, the pictures are very dark.. But it is still okay overall though! :)
