5 megapixel face-off: Vox populi

05 December 2007
It’s been a while since our last cameraphone shootout and you know how much we love them. With all those 5 megapixel cameraphones around, our hands were just itching to make a grand 5 megapixel face-off with as many of the current 5 megapixel cameraphones as possible. The stars in this episode of our Shootout series...

    I preferred C the most, and D the least. D had a lot of noise, which i hate seeing in pictures. C didn't win all the way, but D lost almost all the way.

    My guesses for the cameras:

    Camera A = Viewty
    Camera B = G600
    Camera C = N95 8GB
    Camera D = K850

      You should include the i-mobile 902 as a reference to measure all the other camera phones against :P

          (C,B,A,D).Without a doubt C is the winner,...then maybe B, A then D. D pictures where washed out, looked faded without full color saturation. B makes good white rendering and on A the white was dull. but again C comes close to perfection

                From the first four samples,camera C is a clear winner with good colour definition,contrast and depth,followed by cameras B,A and D.For the fifth sample,which is like putting the cameras in landscape mode,camera D is it with more detail and best white balance,followed by cameras B,A and C.For the sixth sample,depending on what you are looking at-as in contrast of whole picture with the white background,C is it-followed by A;B & D seem to tie here with a light tinge of blue in the white background.On actual colour contrast and definition of the flowers,C is it followed by A,B & D.For the close up,C carries the day;analysis same as in sixth sample.

                    1-C
                    2-A
                    3-B
                    4-D
                    B and D are almost equally pathetic

                        I find A nicest though... different people have dif comments... so...
                        A C B D. picture D seem to have a layer of dirt on the lens. so misty kind of picture.

                          C is a clear winner.

                            1. C
                            2. A
                            3. B
                            4. D

                            In most situations. C and A are close, B and D are not so good.

                                  B and A are neck and neck. B probably better. C slighty over saturated and D is just washed out.
                                  so that makes B A C D

                                    It's clear for me A and C are the best probably Sony Ericsson and Nokia .B and D are Samsung and LG ,however the comparisons are relative as there are so many factors that influence the quality of a picture .I would defintitely buy A or C .

                                      B A C D
                                      B - te most constant, not the best in all, but most, and the most detailed (see the comparison in the last picture)
                                      A - the objects in yalow lose their shapes - compensate the red color. white bildings look a bit unnatural. (i think its nokia - at least my nokia has the yallow problem)
                                      C - yellow and blue are totaly not natural. - but it has the best red nuances.- pretty clear pictures, but these are dark- see the white buildinds - they look dirty - and wellow in tha las one is green.
                                      D - all the colours are pale, too bright,and white overexpose. also a bit blury in zoom.

                                        It looks like c produced pics far better than other'S with correct colour reproduction and details! which is the SONYERICSSON K850 & is closely followed by A , NOKIA N95 8GB!!!
