@Calin @m5-docs Thanks all, I guess I just got a bad camera.

I tried using a different camera and the image quality is fine using this example: https://github.com/espressif/esp-who/tree/master/examples/single_chip/camera_web_server.

I have a "model A" camera and I wasn't able to get the code at https://github.com/m5stack/m5stack-cam-psram to work using the ModeA branch and setting the flag #define M5_CAM_KIND 1.

@mrjellofingers, @Calin Just for comparison, here's an image taken with an ArduCam mini, which also uses an OV2640:

The ArduCam has a lens, but it doesn't seem like that would make a difference as far as the noise I'm getting using the M5Camera...

This isn't specific to your project, Calin, the noise was showing up with the original firmware and program that the M5Camera came with.

Anyone have any ideas on how to improve the image quality?

@calin Do you know if this code will work "M5Camera" or is it only for the "ESP32Cam"? I'm getting these names from this doc : https://github.com/m5stack/M5-Schematic/blob/master/Units/m5camera/hardware_diff_with_ESP32CAM_M5Camera.md

Edit: Nevermind! It is working with the "M5Camera". I just had to change D0_GPIO_NUM from 17 to 32. It looks like the pins in that link are all messed up...

For some reason the images I'm getting have a ton of noise. Not sure if it's my camera or what...
