Moto E : camera samples

My first impression of the Moto E camera was not great, primarily because of the missing auto focus functionality. However, after some trials, I feel that the photos are OK, if you are not taking closeups. Closeup of objects like flowers is not exactly good (they are actually bad). Here are some samples of both indoor and outdoor shot using the Moto E. Color reproduction is OK, towards being acceptable. You also need to have steady hands to have reasonable clarity of the pictures taken. You can not take any reliable action shots (except you can long press to take burst mode, which I found to be hit and miss), as you can with Lumia 520.
















The video quality is acceptable, again, it requires quite a steady hand and enough light. The camera on Moto E is not great, if you think of taking actual prints of these shots. However, for most social networking needs these may be good enough. Although, these may not be good for photo sharing sites like Flickr, where quality of the image is revered. Here is a quick video sample (indoor, but day time shot):

Moto E : creaky backpanel

The way moto E back panel is designed, it has already become creaky after about 4-5 days of usage. This is not exactly a good sign, for a 'build to last' phone. The Lumia 520 is however a different story, it is not creaky a bit even after pretty rough usage (along with a fall) for the last six months. Because of the way the back cover is designed, the Lumia 520 back cover also provides some protection to the screen from the sides on an impact.
