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...

      Altek Leo defeats Samsung & Nokia.
      There is no cameraphone better than Altek Leo.
      Altek Leo is the most complete Android smart-cameraphone in the world.

        Details are the only thing that matter most. You can tweak every other

        thing in a photo, like saturation, brightnes, blurring, noise what not (If

        you are familiar with photo editor like Adobe Photoshop you would know

        this).
        But you can't increase the details, you only can decrease it.

        And here obviously C pulls out more details (And it has a good Dynamic Range too). A comes second and B last but not the least.
        So its
        1. C
        2. A
        3. B

          There isn't huge difference but after some deep look it seems C gives the most quality shots. Hope it's N8 yeah!

              Everywhere C has the best exposure, white balance and preserved detail. I hope it is the Nokia :)

                C>A>>B

                C is best then A then B falls with a large margin
                C-N8
                A-Sony
                B-Samsung

                  In the Best Shots are respectively:

                  1º A
                  2° C
                  3º B

                  My guess is that:

                  A - Sony HX5
                  B - Samsung Pixon 12
                  C - N8 Nokia Nseries

                  Come See Ne ...

                    and IMPO I think the Nokia N8 is A,

                    Just because I saw this article about the hack.

                      The N8 Camera Software has been already hacked so that you get pictures without compression but with larger 11MB size of single photo!

                          A is the best. C is very very good.

                            my guess,

                            A : Sony
                            B : Nokia
                            C : Samsung

                                In my opinion A had the slight edge in all pictures, B and C were really close. With the last couple you could see that C was very sharp and had more noise, while B had much less noise but was quite blurry.

                                If I had to guess I'd say that A was the Sony, B the Nokia and C the Samsung.
