How good is the camera?
I'm still waiting for the arrival of my Entourage Edge tomorrow. I'm just wondering about the camera. Does it take clear pictures? I have a document scanner on my phone that uses the camera and it works pretty well. I'm already trying to figure out how I would be able to do this with the Edge. Because, all I would have to do is take a picture of the document and then it will convert it to pdf.
The problem I foresee is that the camera is on the tablet side, unlike the Pocket Edge where the camera is on the eink side, so, it could be positioned to face the back to take the pictures with the tablet as the viewfinder. We can't do this with the original, sadly. |

It should be noted, too, that the camera currently cannot integrate with any other programs. TS is aware of the problem, but I don't know anything about their plans (or lack thereof) to fix the issue.

Is it because of the camera app? Because my document scanner app has its own camera app, if that would help.

As I understand it, the camera does not currently play nicely with any app out there other than enTourage's own camera app. I had tried to use it as a barcode scanner to no avail, and I found on the forums that it won't work as of right now. I put a ticket in with TS, so at least they're aware of it.

Tech Support, I would assume.

Yes, what he says. It functions is the most that can be said. Passable, not impressive.

The camera is quite bad. Low light? Forget about it. Bright light? Forget about it. Like Dr. T, I tried the barcode scanner but it was so blurry it wouldn't work. Hopefully it is at least partially software related so there is some hope for improvement.

Do note that the camera ships with a small plastic strip over top to protect it. Be sure you've removed it.

I don't find the camera quite this bad, though...

No wonder the picture I took was so soft.

Admittedly the PE camera isn't too bad, it's just that many cell phones have much better cameras, and a pocket point-and-shoot is like a Cadillac by comparison. The EE camera I found pretty well unusable.
