Yes, but I don't think they've ever claimed that the picture quality of the camera was great. They emphasized on the camera a lot because taking pictures with the Glass is way more personal than taking a picture with a traditional camera. After some time, when you go back to look at the pictures you'd taken, you live those moments again the same way you remember them, from your point of view. This was my take anyway.

Yeah I understand that but whats the point if the quality is not good. Good Idea. Poor execution.
The images on the article, like [1] have been downscaled to 480×354 px for the mobile site, then upscaled by your browser.

The original can be accessed via the regular google plus interface [2] and downloaded as 2560x1888 px [3]

The quality is in line with a phone camera.

Thank you for clearing that up.
I don't think the quality is that bad, actually. In low light situations the camera obviously suffers, but that's not a big surprise, considering how small the lens is. Then again, I know nothing about photography.
You have obviously already made up your mind that the Glasses suck so why do you even want our opinions?

Wow, I've never really thought of it like that. Being able to take effortless snapshots from your own vantage point instead of lining up quasi-staged photoshoots seems pretty... organic (somewhat ironically).
