i've been quite impressed with the camera on here too, i think the auto focus alleviates alot of the problems i have experianced with previous WinMo devices. Sadly though the camera still produces poor pictures in low light conditions

Its interesting that early reviews criticised the Diamond's camera for poor clarity due to the inset plastic cover on the back panel. My Orange Diamond doesn't have any inset cover, just a hole

ive not really noticed the difference with the plastic on or off , i set mine to full sharpness and it takes good photos during the day , night time is sadly bad due to the lack of a flash , video is also good as well , least htc are finally getting the cameras better , but still way behind my N82 , but we need on these phones to have minor problems or modaco would be very boring if windows mobile were always perfect phones

have been playing around with the panorama mode today, its pretty good but you need a steady hand to align the 3 photos with a decent level of accuracy, would be good if it could you some electronic trickery to align the images and make up for my shakey hand (read: too much guiness last night)

Windows Live Photo Gallery makes a good job of stitching too, took this (these) with my Diamond!

Pretty impressed with the camera compared to my Vario II one.
Took quite a few shots on Saturday and most turned out great, its particualry good at close ups of flowers, everyones favourite 'testing my camera shot'! Shame about the flash, the best camera phone I have was the Sanyo S75(i think thats the number, it was on Orange a few years back when they first did 3G). It had a really decent flash, and I used it quite regularly. Anyway, a couple of example shots attached if anyone is interested. Both are in daylight, but the dark looking one was in a shaded area. It had been raining and a bit and the phone did get a bit wet and steamy at times, but it coped pretty well. Settings where left pretty much as they came, I adjusted the white balance to sunlight though.

The camera is great when used outside in the day (light). When it comes to dark enviroment a flash would be nice, although the camera imo is just a fun bonus.
Panorama is fun, took these photos:
