Hi.What settings are you using when you take the pics of documents? One thing I love about N900 camera is the wealth of features it has, which can be changed by a touch of a button.
For example, if I want to take a pic of a document (or anything that's closer than 1 ft from the lens) I'd switch to Macro mode.
Tapping on the Spanner icon allows me to change ISO, White Balance, Resolution and, best of all, visual check as you dial in Exposure compensation!
I need a good camera, a QWERTY keyboard and a powerful operating system.
I had a Treo 650/Centro but they were bad camera, I opted for the N82, but the Symbian OS is very weak, then got the N900 believing that would solve the question definitively. (I'm a realtor here in Brazil) so the camera needs to be really good, because I need to constantly photographing properties and documents.
If you know of any application that solves this, please let me know.

Now the N86 is a real camera. Unlike N82/N900 it has a mechanical shutter and variable aperture. Still not as good as a $99 Canon, but could be a big improvement.

In my case, I had to change the white balance from Automatic to Sunny, otherwise the photos were way too white.
People skin color seemed like they were dead
Don't know if this is a hardware problem or SW...
If HW, then I should replace the device...

Ok, but look at this http://www.flickr.com/photos/timsamo...07857408/show/
What is the secret to get pictures so perfect with the N900?
Additional software?

I was actually able to meet one R&D dude from Nokia last year. Basically the reason why N82 and N86 are better camera phones is the reason they are made for that purpose. They start designing the phone with the camera parts and the other specification have to comply to that. On the other hand when you design another type of a phone, you just have some space there left for a camera module and some budget (e.g. 15$). Then the camera module designing team have to cope with that. Therefore I suggest that the camera on the N900 is just supplementary.

I agree, the macro mode isn't working properly (compared to my 2 year old N95. which had the best camera I have ever tested.)

One thing I have noticed... and wonder if anyone else has, is that when the camera is set to "landscape" its default infinite focal length is out of focus. So, if the same scene is put on "automatic" the picture will be quite clear, but on landscape things will simply be out of focus. Does anyone know if focal position for landscape can be modified to another preset position via software?
Oh, and on a second note, I agree with the idea that much of the photo quality comes from camera use, and not the hardware. It is not very difficult to take terrible pictures, not being steady, etc.... but to get clear pictures -- most especially with macro, requires a steady hand and almost no movement in or out, as things will go out of focus very quickly -- and subsequently become blurry.
