Motorola v710 camera anyone else with this problem?

| I turn the camera on and put my fingure over the lense and I get a
bunch of what I think is digital noise, I expect it to be black.

What else would you expect? It's a really cheap little CMOS
CCD. Be happy that it's usable at all. ;-)

really shouldn't touch the lens of any camera with your fingers.

I wanted to take a totaly black picture to use as wallpaper to see if
it made the cotrast any better.

| Instead of your finger, try taking a picture of a completely black surface.
Or simply take a pic in complete pitch black dark with brightness turned all
the way down and ISO set to the lowest level.

Then you expect too much of a cheap camera phone. :)
Actually, CCDs that will produce total pitch blacks are extremely rare,
and often happens with the help of sophisticated software to filter out
noise. If you want a CCD that does pitch black, the camera is going to
cost several thousands of dollars. Below that, and the CCD will always
give a little bit of noise, or will at the very least exhibit hot
pixels. Morseo on camera phones, where the camera is a secondary
function. Compound this with the fact that end users expect cell phones
to be cheap, and the end result is that most cell manufactures cut a
deal with CCD makers to get their rejects; the CCDs that are marginally
acceptable in performance.

It's probably the noise of the camera jacking its brightness all the way up
to maximum.
