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...

      B - K850 - colours are very good, oversharpened pics sometimes
      A - G600 - colours are still good and sharpness is good too
      C - N95 - colours are over saturated but very good in sharpness
      D - Viewty - pictures appear to be a little bluish/whitishand sharpness is ok.

        C is a bit dark and sharp but less noise. A has good detail but over-exposed sky. B's color too light but more natural. And in the last picture, B is the winner. I choose B.

              MACRO SHOTS:
              K850 has the best color, sharp images;
              N95 has great sharpness, less saturated colors;
              G600 seems to be in between the K850 and N95;
              KU990 is slightly softer but colors seem slightly blue-ish;

              BUILDING SHOTS:
              N95 & G600 have filter issues (notice the "rainbow" colors on the railing) - but sharp;
              K850 is slightly noisy (over-sharpened), but good, even color;
              KU990 is sharp but white-balance is incorrect;

              PLAYGROUND SHOTS:
              N95 has great sharpness, contrast is slightly overdone (extreme color shift); Tree branches are over-sharpened - filter issues;

              K850 & G600 have the best and most natural color, great sharpness;

              KU990's pictures are not leveled right, but OK sharpness.

              Personally I prefer N95 & K850's pictures.

                    C,A,B,D
                    C produces more appealing color which brings auto attention to human eye. I don't prefer editing so C is the best choice for me.

                      A has a to agressive edge ehancement. And tends to overexpose a bit. in the bright areas/ A and C seem to have the best lens. With D the worst lens. Difficult to say whose color is best. I did not see the original colors. But I'd guess that C is enhancing the colors nicely but unrealistic. Edge enhancement (or lack there of) is best on B. I'd go for B or C.

                            C is ofcourse the best but B has more natural colors so it is very tight between these two...third comes A with its Jagged edges and D does not deserve to be in this list :D

                              At first it was hard to tell the best one however, A and C (C being better) consistently proved to have better color and resolution. I think the order of picture quality is as follows:

                              C>A>B>D

                                Tough compitiion between B and C.

                                  nokia phones normally give highly saturated, sharp, and have exposure problems. keeping that in mind i think n95 is 'C'. Most pics taken by it came out well. excpet crop 3, 6 and 7 which r over satuarted.
                                  In that regard i prefer phone B.
                                  One more thing. has anyone noticed that pics taken by A seem to be in a lower resoultion?

                                    Not sure how GSMarena planning to give the final verdict. If this is just a opinion poll and doesnt have a expert panel to judge it, It doesnt make sense to me AT ALL.

                                      Overall I say:

                                      B - C - D - A

                                      A is to much sharpened, which looks stupid.
                                      Anxious to see the results in two weeks.
