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...

Why does everything have to be a conspiracy? Whatever phones or cameras they used someone would start kicking off about another one they should have used. Just pick which one you think is best. I'm pretty sick of everyone having to try and put down any competitor to the one they like, get over it. If we all had the same phone would that be better?

    After looking at the photo I would say the N8 is either B or C, with a preference to C because the edge enhancement is almost disable on the N8.

      Overall I prefer C over A. B is worst.

          "Once again, this is not a guess-the-phone game. It's about picking the best camera regardless of brand loyalty"

          can't you people read? why you guys giving these names and hints what is what, just say the best pic, dont which photo is which.

              A loses out slightly on detail/lens-sharpness.
              B is a bit over-processed/over-enhanced.

              C is slightly ahead.
              But they all pretty close.

                  A and C is good...

                  I think A slightly better on all test except for Macro Shoot wich is C is the better one..

                  B is the worst of them...

                    I really hope B is not N8; it can't be; is the worst!

                                    Anonymous, 06 Oct 2010ok guys satio really wasnt as good a camera as the pixon 12... moreyou're joking right because this is the 1st joke i'm hearing today so whats the matter with you
                                    Satio has improved after updates and even at begining it was better plus it has wvga recording now which is in mobile recording just below 720p recording current maximum for cellphones

                                      C is best in at least most pictures. Sometimes it has a tendence to overexpose?
                                      A is also very good in most pictures.
                                      B has problems with sharpness and lightness.
                                      C seems to be better in low light. A traditional digital camera is usually better than a mobile phone camera in this area. All 3 are producing good pictures.
