Nokia N8 vs. Samsung Pixon12 vs. Sony HX5v shootout: Blind test

05 October 2010
The Nokia N8 is an immensely popular phone and we’re already hard at work on a proper review of the handset. Since the N8 camera is its pivotal feature, we’re interested how you'd rate it in a blind shootout with two other cameras...

A and C like good digital cameras. B is disaster.

    No one is a clearcut winner here. But overall I think C is the best.

    A was the best at the close up shot of the book and the action figure. But B is overall better than A in every other shot. For example in the first picture I could make out the letters OMV T*P WASH in picture B and C but not in picture A.

    I would rate it
    1) C
    2) B
    3) A

    My prediction is
    1) sony hx5v
    2) n8
    3) pixon12

      C is best then A and last B. I think C is the Sony camera, but A which I think is N8 is almost as good.

        Even i think Satio would be as good as C images
        Satio is anyday better than N8 in terms of camera
        .
        I think Gsmarena should compare Nokia N8 and Sony Ericsson Satio in Camera

          Of course it is C. C is simply splendid!!~ Details and color wise, it blows A and B away.

              Ofcoures "C"
              C images are more clear & better .......passed
              than comes the A as good as C but in some images it...... fails
              &
              then comes the B but these images are not as competitive as C & A
              B .....fails

                    nokia n8 released in October 2010

                    it will be a disaster for nokia if the n8 is not the winner in all the situations.

                                  B & C are better than A, But i think that the order with ABC is random so im too lazy for listing all :D At start B was good, in the end i prefered C?

                                        The best is B. No question about it. Far better than A and C. Must be N8
