any comparisons of the camera on the Droid 3 and the x2?

[mothbeast]

I am going to be upgrading from a Droid soon and I think I want either the Droid 3 or the x2. Does anyone with the Droid 3 had any photos or any thoughts on how the camera compares with the x2? I assume it's better than the camera on the original Droid.

Seems the same as the DX2.

It'd be awesome if someone who was owned or even currently has (Hint to anyone working in a cell shop ) both devices could do a comparison of basic things. Things like: Camera, start-up speed, speaker, etc.

I owned a Droid X2 for about a week and a half before returning it and buying a Droid 3. I only took a few pics with each, but they should be fine enough for an amateur comparison (sorry, these are just what I happen to have at the moment).

Droid X2, 8 MP camera:

Droid 3, 8 MP camera:

Given these two phones were manufactured by Motorola around the same time and are both 8 MP, I would wager the guts are relatively the same (where the camera is concerned). So they're probably even.

Only difference is D3 claims to record video in 1080, while the X2 is in 720.

Thanks! This helps a lot and I think I can figure out the other differences on other threads.
