jgumphress: I bought this before trying it. Wasted 4 bucks. The camera in my 700P does a better job, and faster too. I've taked several photos side-by-side with HQ and built-in camera software. In every case the Palm camera was far better.
kelisia_kevandra: it good. its even better than my original treo 6oo camara application
adaptes: Works fine. Save two files, in BMP format, one 640X480 the other 960X720 on the SD card of my Treo 650. The documentation is a little bit succinct. Not to be used for moving picture.
ntjoe: My camera on my 650 was messed up with the sepia type look. Advise given was to just replace the unit. I installed this software and the pictures are almost perfect now. A little slower than the orignal but this could be a great work around to the 650 camera problems.
JFMw: Note: blue/yellow line on the left part of your photo is a watermark, not a bug (watermark is only in BMP files, there is no limitation in JPEG files). I wonder how people are trying PhotosHQ if they don't even try to compare picture at full screen on a computer (if so, they would have read some text in the watermark). My 2 cents... (Developer response)
pogiprb7677: its too slow in saving pictures and theres no difference. the treo680 built-in camera is clearer and crispier than photo HQ i just gave my donation hope they'll do some improvements soon....
quicksears: it was brighter but blurier than the standard camera. It also is not a smooth running camera (you have to allow it to set/focus on an object). After one photo I deinstalled.
S:-G: Works good on my Treo650. Zoom feature is fine. But when I compare jpg-photo, made by Treo-camera, jpg-PhotosHQ and bmp-PhotosHQ, I don't find any difference in picture quality (details in text, landscape, LCD-screen). Size of picture: native ~56K, jpg-P ~60K, bmp-P ~2026K (feel the difference:) Both jpg-640x480, bmp-960x720. One note: few months ago I improved picture quality by small utility, which makes less losses in jpg-compression. So: program may be useful (zooming, other compression method, etc.), but you should pay for it with quastionable final result.
Tivie: Interpolation works great on my Treo 650! A "red hand" appears when interpolation fails, but if you try not to move a second during the photo it functions as expected. Nice!
shneor: I took a photo using the default settings. It was saved as a .bmp file on my card, in the right directory (nice!). However, when I checked the properties of the photo with Resco Viewer, it said that the resolution was just 640x480. There do not seem to be any options for changing the resolution (and I did read the documentation). I installed it on my Treo 650. The resulting file, by the way, was over 960kb. The settings that come up when you start the program ought to be available form the meny once you are in the program, as they just flicker past in an instant.
