Grand 8 megapixel shootout: The latest and greatest

Hey guys, instead of fighting over which is the best camera-phone, try approaching this comparison from a different angle (like some of you already suggested). If you look at MOST of the photos on a your laptop or on a desktop, the differences aren't that striking and earth-shaking, are they? so if you want a phone that can also take nice pictures and make videos - more or less casually (otherwise, you should buy a pro digital camera and shouldn't even post here) just make a list of your priorities and decide which phone you want to purchase (unless you're in just for the fight because you like/dislike a certain brand). I'm thinking of buying Renoir: i'm willing to give up Xenon (although it's disappointing what LG have done with their flash) and even some user-friendliness for some features that are either missing or are disappointing on the other phones and are important for me: VGA@30fps (SE is the only exception here), burst shooting mode (Samsung is disappointing), panorama photos (all the others are disappointing) + special features (which are more fun on LG). There you have it! So yes, maybe INNOV8 does produce the best photos, but it certainly lacks Xenon and it also has an utterly disappointing burst and panorama shooting mode, just like SE lacks VGA@30fps... bla bla bla... and such comparisons can be made till the end of time. In the end, it all comes down to WHAT YOU WANT AND NEED IN A CAMERA-PHONE and WHAT ARE THE COMPROMISES YOU'RE WILLING TO MAKE! So instead of praising a certain brand and discrediting others (brands AND people) just beacuse of you're personal taste or just because you have some... dunnow-what-kind-of residual anger :)) better don't post!

M16, 16 Jan 2009SE C905 BEST CAMERA PHONE EVER USED ....
GSMarena should r... morePicture quality on phone screen SE may look better. Yes INNOV 8 screen display is lousy. Real quality can only be seen on large computer screen and compare side by side. I am not saying INNOV8 is better, but I also want to know comparison view and result.
Sony cameras always show best quality on screen but on computer screen they show flaws.I am Nikon DSLR, Panasonic and Sony cameras user and I know their tricks. Pls check ur phone cam qualities on large screen and compare.

I used N95 for one n half yr. Cam quality so nice, especially macro shots and video shots. I carefully checked about INNOV8 and then bought for its cam quality. I dont like low light shot quality. Video shaprness and clarity is also no match with N95. Of course in the day light, INNOV8 8MP works so fine yet I still believe if Nokia new gen 8MP comes, its cam will be better. Focusing time is long, focus precision is not so good as Nokia or SE.U cant expect flash shots bright enough. But generally its great cam phone with lots of features. If u dont need 8MP and 5MP is fine for u, try Nokia N97. If u only want 8MP, its all round best among others like Pixon, Renoir and SE C905. Cheers

Overall total:
•SE C905: 79/130
•Samsung INNOV8: 88/130
•Samsung Pixon: 80/130
•LG Renoir: 89/130
Renoir wins when it comes to overall score but... afterall everyone should choose among these scores of which they would want to add as not each and every person sees some points to be utterly imporatant on their list - user's preference, that is.

I think now, when SOny update firmware to SE c905, btw, i think there is already few modded drivers for C905, that they need to compare Photos again. They hurry up terribly with his comparing, Btw gsm arena has a few bugs in comparing.... :D
