Satio vs. Pixon12: 12MP shootout teaser

16 October 2009
It took cameraphones exactly one year to take the next step in their evolution, closing the gap on dedicated digicams even more. As usual we are here, carefully tracking the progress and checking out if it's going in the right direction...

      I am glad that those who like Samsung are satisfied and those who like Sony Ericsson are satisfied, Lolicious. No war, everybody gets what they want. So whats the fuss?

          robert, 19 Oct 2009The sati makes better photos, just an example, in the third... moreWao you can see that? Then how could you miss those trees and bushes. Aren't they all noisy and blurry on satio? LOL!
          Wait till GSMarena publish some 100% crop. I have done so. But GSmarea is not letting me add the flicker link.

            The sati makes better photos, just an example, in the third photo, the zoom will see the price list of the service station, that is only seen in the photograph removed for the sati, in samsumg is blurred.

              My first samsung phone, decided to buy pixon12, and here's my comment, pic/flash quality=9.5/10, music=6.5/10, call quality=5/10, usability=8/10, not much of the wow surprise.

                let's stop being homeristic here. Samsung clearly won this round. no doubt about it.

                  the satio makes better pics, sharper, less noise and the colours are more generous , except for the flash in which the pixon takes the advantage. but both phones take decent pics and it has nothing to do with the 12MP... always depends on the quality of the cam. there are 5MP cam-phones with better quality than 8MP and above... so.... use your eyes to see the differences or go and buy some glasses

                    Satio for IQ, Pixon for flash performance.

                      i think that the pixon has a little better focus and better colours, while the satio is just a little bit clearer. both have alot of noise and in all honesty, no matter what phone you buy, you will not see any differences. if you print them out it will be the same, if you make it smaller to see it on your screen you also wont see a difference.
                      satio can have better picture compression because it runs s60, while the pixon runs touchwiz 2. s60 is a lot more advanced. but still the satio is just about on par with the pixon eventhough it has a far more superior OS. but sony has been behind for a long long time.
                      also, nokia made the satio if you think about OS.

                        how can you people say that pixon camera is clearly better? if you cannot see the higher noise level on pixon outdoor photos and less detail on both outdoor and macro, you need glasses. only the flash is better. but that can depend on the unit. overall SE allways had a good xenon units and i find it hard to believe they would use the lower quality on their top product. so how about that-samsung got beaten from SE

                          Just put the photos in full size, see the difference, satio is better in all the samsumg uses saturated colors, satio is unmatched in the dark .. samsumg makes things a little better ..

                            Sony Ericsson Satio makes better pictures, the only samsumg flash is better, the rest sati exceed it. For fans of Nokia, the N98 will face another disappointment ..

                                Anonymous, 18 Oct 2009This guys are playing you guys. Satio is closer than Pixon1... morethey are not trying to cheat it.
                                pixon12 has wide lens and less focal length (4.9MM while Satio has 5.9) so pixon12 is taking a wider picture, but its a litttle less far then Satio.. thats all...

                                    This guys are playing you guys. Satio is closer than Pixon12. Hence Satio looks a little blur than Pixon. Just check where the image started. Only the second last image was fair, hence the quality of Satio is better. Lol, Satio is still better even though they are trying to cheat it.

                                      Both have a great camera quelity, but it looks like samsung pixon 12 is better in the dark.
