Back in July we first heard about the Motorola Dinara which is rumored to have a 720p screen and a 13MP camera. Last month we saw the Dinara or the DROID HD posing with the Bionic. We are still not certain if the Dinara is the same phone as the DROID HD or something different.

Late last month we saw a test photo from the Dinara, but it was only at 9MP (4000 x 2248). The 13MP specs continued to stick, but we wanted proof. We just received proof as another photo surfaced, but this time at 4128 x 3096 or 12.8MP. Sure the photo is blurry, but it isn't about the quality right now, it is more about the pixels.

This is great news, but lets face it, Motorola's cameras haven't been the greatest. 13 megapixels is wonderful, but lets hope they finally figure out that quality is more important.

His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.

I agree! If only there was a way to correlate megapixels with quality and usability. Currently, the phone that produces the best image quality only captures 5 megapixels. (Unfortunately, this is an Apple product) All the other 8+ megapixel phone cameras in the world are unable to produce better images. For effective marketing, however, all that is needed is a bigger number.

“Motorola’s cameras haven’t been the greatest. 13 megapixels is wonderful, but lets hope they finally figure out that quality is more important.”

I couldn’t agree more. It’s not about the number of megapixels if you’re shooting through a needle sized plastic lens with a plastic lens cover over it with lame hardware and software behind the lens that doesn’t make the most of what a small digital camera can do.

Apple’s iphone and itouch photos blow away anything you can take with a motorola. 12mp of fuzz (like the picture shown in this article) is still 12mp of uselessness.
