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...

                dell user, 06 Oct 2010 No you are wrong, the satio is way better than the pixon ... moreI won't say that the link you provide is very fair. First of all, looking at the words and descriptions used in the simple review, you can tell that the reviewer is not professional, and is biased. A professional reviewer will refrain words like 'best in the world' and 'blows the competition'. These words are just too exagerrating and showed the fanboyism in the reviewer himself. Next, there's not even a comparison variable here to prove that satio is the best. I can easily put a picture snapped by k810 and say it's the best.

                            1st set: C-B-A
                            2nd set: C-A-B
                            3rd set: C-B-A

                            7th set: A-C-B
                            8th set: C-A-B

                            Since all photos are given in random order one can't be sure which camera took which photo (unless you're a photographer) and therefore you can't generalize(as most of you did and by doing so you created information conformism ^_^) , for instance, that C is the same camera in every set. It will be interesting to see the final verdict :)
                            PS-I opened each photo at 1:1 and chose the ones that, for me, had the most detail.

                                  I think they should compare the N8 to the sony ericsson satio because both of them are smart phones that have 12 mp cameras.

                                  But the pixon 12, is just a boring java phone and yet it takes worse pictures that the satio! I really don't know what gsmarena were thinking.

You should be interested in those devices and their differencies if you are really interested about producing images.

                                        I feel 'C' the best.
                                        'C' had best resolved detail and more accurate color reproduction of all.
                                        'B' had commendable resolved detail but i think the color reproduction is not that good and i feel that the pics have a blue tinge and color dispersion is evident in close up shots.
                                        'A' was decent but not on par with others when it comes to resolved details and also d pics were a bit dull. Still not miles away from the other two.
