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...

    still couldn't understand the needs of 12mp in a camera - if u want better picture why not use real camera instead?

      Since you asked only about the photo comparisons between SE Satio vs Pixon 12, from your pictures, it seems, Pixon 12 is better. Plus the wide angle captures a wider area.
      Provided you did kept the standard original camera settings for both, the Satio pictures seem to come out darker.

            i am a SE fan but i like samsung too
            i think they have the same camera
            i prefer satio because satio is a advance phone but pixon is a simple java phone
            in my opinion satio and omnia hd are the kings now but omnia hd benefit from hd quality of video that is not real(my GF have omnia hd and video is not superior and sound quality is very bad and speakers are weak and standby time is normal even with 1500 mah battery

              one of the most important things when it comes to cameras is the size of the lens......u can have two phones with same quality lenses and the same amount of megapixels but then it falls down to the numbers...Satio 5.9 mm and Pixon 4.9 mm
              1 whole mm is a HUGE difference in such devices...wide angle lenses dont give better quality they just capture more of what u see so Pixon certainly has no advantage here...the flash seems stronger on Pixon...and as far as colors are concerned we cant judje either phone becouse we dont know the real colors only the guys from gsmarena know....stronger or weaker colors it doesent matter...they should just be natural and normal because on both phones u can adjust the colors and contrast....so it looks like we gota wait for the real shootout to see the real winner

                  Numaan, 17 Oct 2009The Sony Ericsson Satio is a far better camera phone ... ... moreThe Satio's design was "stolen" from the LG Viewty... the up and down sides, at least. So Samsung didn't "steal" other manufacturer's ideas, they just re-used their own :) Is it that bad...?

                    -- For those who are realistic and not biased beforehand --

                    - First outdoor picture look at the right down corner of Pixon12 the dish is much more sharper;

                    - Second outdoor picture look at the middle top of Satio the ING sign along with the lion is way sharper;

                    - Third outdoor picture stare at that OMV sign in the middle of the picture of Pixon12 and I dare you if your eyes didn't hurt, or the tree branches on the left top slightly not as sharp and kinda out of focus;

                    - Macro picture, nothing to compare, both got fine details only Pixon12 color rendition is darker but only the editor could tell which one got the real colors;

                    - Flash picture, clearly pixon got higher flash light.

                    P.S. Nice Audi in Satio third outdoor picture ;)

                      the Pixon has better image quality, plus 28 mm lens, but i would rather buy the satio because it's a better phone overall

                        The Sony Ericsson Satio is a far better camera phone ...

                        I will defiantly be buying the Satio ... NOT the Pixon12 (one reason, its the same design as the Pixon 'boring' ... where as the Satio is TOTALLY different)!!!

                        GREAT SATIO!!!

                          the Satio is better. much less noise. In gast, this is the best camera phone I've seen, even can be compared to a regular camera.

                            the Satio has better Macro, but the pixon is generally better. The wide lens is better, which is a shame, considering i was looking to get the satio. Ah well, new contract in january, hopefully the pixon12 will be out by then?

                              Why is there so much noise even in the bright daylight at the sky? This is amazingly lousy. Even my K800i have zero noise when i took pic of the sky.

                                  There's is very little to compare coz its obvious the samsung takes it all from well lit to low light conditions... Mostly the low lit.

                                    ..., 17 Oct 2009actually, there are arguments about who is better why wont... morewell okay but every single time, gsmarena have said sony ericsson camera phones arent that great, and this isnt the only website that thinks that...

                                    theyll give this shootout the same verdict too. the samsung is clearly better.
