    I'm still debating between the LED and standard screen for my m1330.

    One factor is the lower resolution camera you get with the LED screen.

    Wondering if anyone cares to post a video taken with their built in camera, off of their m1330 (or m1530, for that matter)

    I'm hoping two people will post, one with the .3 camera, and one with the 2MP camera, so that I can compare.

    I use Skype quite a bit, so I'd really like a decent image from the built in camera.

    Thanks

    That would be GREAT!

    I'm sure the video from the m1530 is the exact same as the ones used on the m1330's.

    If you could post a video, hopefully someone with a .3 VGA camera will also post.

    I'd think there may be other people curious about the difference in quality between the two different camera options available on the m1x330's.

    Thanks!

    This is not a bad idea you got going on here. Hopefully some people can help you out...and i am sure there are others that would love to know also.

    Let's see if someone will be good enough to post a video taken with their internal video camera, from either an m1330 or m1530.

    I've ordered my 1330 with the LED screen, so too late if the 0.3 camera is bad quality!! But will be very interesting to see the difference. In SA we dont have unlimited bandwith so skyping with video is a waste or it :(

    I usually hear that the lower megapixel webcams have better video quality because they don't have to obtain as much light.

    That would be great!

    Again, I"m considering exchanging my m1330 (if DHL ever gets done playing with it) for one with the LED screen.

    My one concern is the quality of the camera that comes with it. However, I think I'm more concerned with having a great screen then having a great camera!

    If you or anyone else gets a chance and can post a video, I'm sure others would also find it informative.
