Below are several
images taken with the AVCam 300. Besure to check out my other AVCam
300 sample pages:
Click Thumbnails
for full-sized, untouched-up images.
Assaf
Spiegle in Switzerland - taken with firmware 1.1.01:
The two pictures in the middle
(above) look very good.
The last two pictures above
show how the auto exposure sometimes (at least with 1.1.01) get things
right
The picture on the right (above)
shows a really bad exposure setting - very dark.
Assaf
Spiegle in Switzerland - taken with firmware 1.2.01:
The "keys" (Left,
Above), were taken from 4" away. If you look at the full-sized
you can see it is pretty blurry.
The "castle" pictures,
though a few are a little dark, are very good. The third one from the
left (above) is particularly nice.
Notice how crisp the trees
are in the picture on the right (above).
Scenery
Video at 25fps, 2000kbps: 6580k
The video isn't very good.
It is dark and you can see sudden changes in brightness. It also isn't
very sharp.
Pogara
in the UK - taken with firmware 1.2.01:

Pogara provided a sequence
of "zooms" to show the zoom capabilities of the AV300. Left:
Normal, Center: full 3x optical, Right: Full Optical + Digital. Notice
the reduced resolution of the full-zoomed image. The optical zoom looks
excellent.

1x and 3x picts inside
the British Museum at night. Except for the blurriness on the 3x zoom,
they look quite good.
Video
of a double-decker buss driving by: 20fps, 1500kbps, 835k
Video
of zooming in on the church pictured above: 20fps, 1500kbps, 1413k
Again, the video quality is
disappointing - dark and not sharp.
Zerocool
in France: (info about
this source)

Two indoor shots. The one
with the lights on is very crisp (nice case!). The one with the lights
off is blurry, but still decent.
Video
pan of the case (above): 25fps, 2000kbps, 1300k
Same disappointing video quality. |
