I meant to write this last time you did a hands on, but your camera you are using, or your lighting, is atrocious, makes it near impossible to see any of the details.
I thought this set came out pretty well, actually -- of course, brightness and contrast vary significantly from monitor to monitor, and I can see how they could be a little dark. Granted, I usually have some trouble getting sufficient ambient lighting, but I try to avoid flash at all costs. Can you give me some specific examples of photos you're having trouble with?
That came out ruder than I attented after rereading the word atrocious a few times, they come out, dark. I'm on the standard hp 1730 17inch lcd they give us here at the vzw call centers, brightness has to be high to see these damn accounts lol.
I've noticed it on my monitor at home as well on a majority of the hands on photos, which is a hp flatscreen with clearview.
Uncle Walt through the low resolution, poorly lit web cam he uses to present himself as someone whose opinion about things technological matters is sad irony at best.
Walt, try filming with an N95 and transfer it. While still sub-maximal quality it would be better than whatever web cam and lighting you are using now.

Yeah, actually, the small pictures are extremely dark on one of my notebooks. Duly noted - I'll try to adjust on the next round.

You may try an inexpensive solution like this light tent and an off camera flash or even sunlight would work well for illumination.

Hey! Could be worse.
