Hi All,

I read many time that the FaceTime camera is 480p only, but nobody took a test picture to compare the quality between a macbook pro retina (with a really good embedded camera), and the new Macbook Retina.

The camera is critical to get a good picture for videoconferencing, but the resolution is not critical (as I send often less than HD over internet).

My question: Do we have a rMB owner with another camera available to take 2 sample shoots?

Thanks!

This will depend much more on your internet speed than anything else. 480p should be perfectly fine if resolution isn't important as long as your internet speed is consistent and holds up.

Yeah, I know, but need to see if the picture is well balanced, colors and contrast. This is the most important stuff for me (when talking about the camera :) )

So waiting for a friendly owner to take a shot!
 
Exactly wgat I was looking for!! Thanks!!!

Two photos side by side for people who has the same question.
(Yesterday, I was able to upload only one via my mobile)

Not so bad
