There's no doubt that the Omnia's camera is fantastic! The interface is suberb, it's fast, and has some great extra features like face recognition and anti shake etc. etc.
However, I'm also really impressed with the Touch Pro's camera cool.gif
At the end of the day it's the final image quality that matters and the Touch Pro isn't far behind the Omnia even with less pixels smile.gif
In some respects it's better ohmy.gif
Colours are more true, more vivid and pictures are a little sharper and slightly punchier. The Omnia's flash is VERY powerful, but for close ups it bleaches out the subject.
Here's some comparisons, resized so they're not enormous, and joined together, but no other editing. I've left the image sizes in proportion so you see the bigger size of the Omnia's pictures.
Yes, the Omni's camera's the best I've seen on a WM device, but the Touch Pro's can certainly give it a run for it's money cool.gif

Thank you so much for posting those.

I was pretty much set on the omnia due to the better camera .. but now im really not so sure! In some instances, the Touch Pro image looks better.

Simon ... any chance of a couple of scenic shots as a comparison, all of the above are pretty close up ones. Just wondering how pixellated it may get at distance.

Here's a quick outdoor comparison smile.gif
The Omnia is definitely a little sharper, but I prefer the colours of the Touch Pro. If you look at the cropped image you can see the number plates are clearer on the Omnia, but there's also more image noise mellow.gif
Tough call, the Omnia's probably got the edge but having said that pictures look twice as good on the Touch Pro's high res screen. unsure.gif

Cheers Simon, I think I agree with you there. Clearer image on the Omnia, but much more vibrant colours on the Touch Pro.

I think I shall hold off on my upgrade for a short while, just to see if either handsets have teething problems. Cant keep spending money like a fool on toys!
