Is it just me or is the camera really dark. My V551 never had problems with lighting. is there ANY way to make it lighter? i already have it set to night mode and brightness all the way up. and i turned up the contrast.

I have the same problem, it the phone it's self. Thought that the phone has a 1.23mega pix it would be better than my old phone, not the case. I even upgraded the firmware. Moto fail us on this feature. The only thing I can suggest is to play with settings.
