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...

C > A > D > B
fair enough ...
i guess the C is sony ericsson and A is nokia depending upon the photo color correction and enhancements.

    I gave a score to each phone on a scale of 1-10 for all 7 shots... i ended up with 39 points for camera A, 39 points for camera B, 36 points for camera C, 16 points for camera D. Needless to say, D was horrible.

              I think people who voted C are normal users who are not really involved in photography?

              C does produce eye pleasing saturated color, but it's quite fake, and you can edit the rest in ur comp to produce the same results too.

                If you look at the whole images instead of just the cropped ones, you can see that C looks the best, for many reasons. I won't go into it though.

                  Now I see why SE and Nokia Fan boys hate each other. ^_^ because they are exactly the opposite of each other.
                  Nokia lovers want more vivid colours and doesn't care about clarity.
                  SE lovers want details more than colors.
                  Since people are either Logical thinkers or Creative thinkers, people tend to become bias regarding what type of people they are.
                  Haha. Well, I guess that means that regarding phone shoot-outs, SE and Nokia worshippers will always fight for whatever phone is superior.

                  And now for my own review (And I decline from judging whatever phones they were), this is what i came up.

                  For details; I choose A
                  For the Macro Mode; I choose B (Because of the two last photos)
                  For colour rendition; I choose C

                  I don't know what happened to D here...

                          C produces the best images.... details are there, color is vivid, exposure is good and it has best dynamic range(winning factor) of the lot....

                                  C overall seems to be the best overall, although i think you will find it is the K850 not the N958gb
