I did a direct comparison between the DSi and my 2mp cell phone camera. The cell phone kicked its butt. Here is the thread with pictures: http://dsifanboy.com/showthread.php?t=717

the direct comparision is on page two.

It's only a 3MP camera so don't expect it to replace a normal camera.

That looks way better than in real life. You will need to get the perfect lighting to get adequate picture quality.

0.3 MP inside, 3 MP outside. Why else would they make the lens so huge?

I thought that too, but the lens' are the same size.What you are talking about is the cover for the lens that makes that protects it and makes it easier to see. I have a DSi, the images from both camerasare the same resolution-640x480.

Yeah, GS said it was 3.0 outside too. Originally they said it was 0.3, but for whatever reason, they changed it. I originally got my info from nintendo.com, in the "Iwata Asks" section. There was some confusion as Iwata referred to the camera with lack of plurality, which could be take two ways: Iwata was only talking about one camera , or that Iwata was referring to the type of camera they used and not directlytalking about the DSi. After picking up my DSi on launch, I found the answer to be the latter.

.3 MegaPixel sure.

NOT 3 MEGAPIXELS, but 30% of 1 Pixel.

If you can imagine, it's about 1/3 of a 1 full Pixel Camera.

A 1 MegaPixel Camera would be about 3 TIMES better than the DSi's Camera.

I know. it's only a 0.3 megapixel camera, so the camera on the iphone is FIFTEEN times better. The camera on the nintendo 3ds is 0.3MP as well, but at least the ones on the back are in 3D.

Does anyone here realise that megapixels don't determine how good a camera is? Most people don't need anymore than 0.3M because that's enough to print 4x6s. All megapixels are are marketing gimmicks to fool people. What really determines a good camera (in phones and point and shoots, not SLRs) is color rendition and how much noise they produce at higher ISOs. That being said, the iPhone 4 camera does trounce the DSi camera but not because of its megapixel count but because of the multiple extra features and the low pixel density which leads to low noise in darker conditions. I don't expect Nintendo to ever focus to much on the DS/3DS's camera quality though.

The pics look horrible even on the small DS screen. I imagine they would be god awful on anything bigger. I think my old 8 year old camera phone took about the small quality pics.
