Mobile7 why do you feel the need to use a digital zoom? Digital zoom just distorts the photos unlike a physical movement of an optical zoom. I never ever use digital it's a waste of time.

If you took a photo with digital zoom even in 5 mega pixel it will distort the picture it's useless unless it's an optical zoom. If you take a photo with digital zoom in VGA mode EVEN WORSE!!!!!!

I love summer evening skies with golden sunshine kissing the nature around us

One or two are ok but some show blur. If doing macro try putting phone on stable surface & at night too if possible. Domipost thanks for the comments

Thanks to everyone's (and Bonovox especially - you totally rock with your pics, thanks) diligent posting of their photos here, I've bought the Elm finally today! (Was going to get the Hazel at first because of the larger screen, but I really prefer the candybar format better.) My last SE was K750i (and then I veered into another brand when that phone died sadly after 2 years.), but now I'm back with SE, so I'm hoping to be able to take pics with the Elm that are almost as great as that phone (I mean, it was years ago, and yet to this day I haven't found a phone that takes pics like the K750i did - that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I loved the K750i! I'd still use it if it didn't die on me - crazy how great that 2.0 camera was on that phone.)

However, I tried taking some photos during the day and at night, and while they're not bad, they're not as great as the ones I'm seeing here. It could be because the weather here is a bit cloudy, but the colors still seem a lot less vibrant than the ones I'm seeing here even taking that into account. So, hoping to ask for any tips you might have for maximizing the Elm camera:-

Can I ask if there's a particular setting ( for all the settings) that are particularly great with:

- Sunny outdoors (with people, or with landscapes)
- Cloudy outdoors
- Macro closeups
- Indoor day time
- Indoor night time with light
- Indoor night time with very little light (like...in a concert or a dark bar)
- night time, dark with only a little bit of light?

Also, the flash is auto, but is there a way to set it so it's on (and not auto or off)?

Also, is it just a matter of having a really steady hand? I noticed that some of my pics aren't as sharp as the pics I'm seeing here, and I've got a pretty steady hand.

Thanks for your help, hope I'm not being too inquisitive.
