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...

majid, 06 Oct 2010I dont care about this comparison.every one knows sony is o... moreIf you dont care then leave. why spend you time here at GSM ARENA??

In my opinion, sony is not the best in digital cameras. Most specifically point and shoot type. I will prefer NIKON COOLPIX series than the Cybershot line up. I have used both brands and by the looks of the pictures in terms of its coloring, resolution and overall dynamic range, I would say NIKON delivers way way better than the cybershot series of sony. This is also seen by other people who have seen the difference of the two cameras we had at home with our nikon camera having only a 7 megapixel resolution compared to the sony cybershot who had 10.2 megapixel resolution..Sony seems to have more noisy pictures than Nikon.



NIKON IS THE BEST in terms of POINT and SHOOT type and MOST OF ALLLLL... DSLR!
Yeah nikon may not be as fashionable as sony cameras, but from my experience,, I would choose nikon.
Nothing beats Nikon!

    C is the best one, for example just look at the picture with McDonalds logo, it has the best smoothness and sparpening combination. It also has the best detail.

      I cant say clear winner, if you talk about sharpness and details B is winner (if you zoom you can see the texts from building etc. But B is making too blue sky i think.

      I think overall winner is C

      A is overall worst, dude pic goes to A

          I will vote for A. I like pictures that are VIVID and More LIVE in colors even if that means making the picture not realistic anymore.. haha. besides no one buys a camera that has no MAGIC on its lens right? Anyways, after thourough scrutinizing,,I liked A because of the dynamic coloring, average lighting and good rendering in terms of both the warmth and the coolness of photo as well as its exposure. overall in terms of resolution, it also gave a fair impact on both B and C. I will choose Letter AAAAAAAA.. I hope its the N8. hehehe. my second choice would be letter B. Anyways, when do we know what phones are used in this photos?

                In my opinion C is the best because of its good control over dynamic range, sharpness, and high-iso images as well.
                A and B are in the lower level respectively.

                  I dont care about this comparison.every one knows sony is one of the best camera manufactures in the world and i dont see this comparison as logical.even sonyericsson phones have better camera than nokia and samsung.Sony should be compared to canon,panasonic etc.

                    Set 1 = B > C > A
                    Set 2 = B > A > C
                    Set 3 = B > A > C
                    Set 4 = B > C > A
                    Set 5 = C > B > A
                    Set 6 = C > B > A
                    Set 7 = C > A > B (C good in noise reduction, A good in macro, B is worst)
                    Set 8 = C > A > B (C good in noise reduction, A good in macro, B is worst)

                            I will go for the C
                            And in a first look I have to admit that the B photos are a little bit darker....

                                This is a great idea to approach this topic! It would also be interesting to hear what kind of responses and comments you would get from professional photographers. Please add these in your review if possible.
