Granted the image is not sharp but this time of year it is OK. However from November to March around here the image disappears due to the poor low light performace of the camera.
I also notice that you best keep the lens cleaned as the performance being marginal it does not take much before it really drops off.

The time it takes for the backup camera to turn on and display is more of a problem in my opinion. Just everyday driving from public parking lots, get in & go, I'm not in a huge rush, yet the camera doesn't even engage till I'm a few seconds into drive already (past reversing out). Useless.
An image quality fix would be great, but fix the delays too.

I think "excellent resolution" is subjective.
Some people don't even care about seeing things clearly (ie: my father-in-law still thinks his old projection TV is just as good as my HD. He even claims. Mine screen is bigger too!). But for those who do, Once you see and get used to things in the higher resolutions, it's pretty disturbing seeing things that doubt match up. That sounds like the gripe of most that complain about the backup camera anyways. I'm sure they've used ones in a Japanese import or other brand which is superior and are thus complaining. Some (if not most) of us drive BMW's cuz we want to be better than the rest. Heck, we sure pay a whole lot more for it. And having a subpar backup camera just sucks. But rather being so unhappy all the time, we really should try to be happy. At least it works and there is one equipped. Plus it does have guidelines.

that is true... there is an annoying delay when you start up and want to go...
by the time the idrive screen boots and the camera comes on...you've already pulled out of your parking spot and are half-way down the block!! it's gotten to the point where you don't even use it most of the time... again, resolution is great but what good is it if it takes that long to launch??
