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...

      C has the best details (very clear in the ISO 400 and 800 tests), the colors are not vivid and the sharpness is also set lower ... so my guess it's the N8.
      A is the widest so I guess it's the sony camera (25 mm lens)
      B has stronger colors (but worst details) so it's probably the Pixon.

                      I rank the three cameras like this.

                      Best Camera C
                      Good Camera A
                      Last Camera B

                        Always between A and C.
                        B was the worst

                              B>>C=>A. I think B is Sony, C - Samsung, A- Nokia. A and C have quite aggressive noise-reduction algorithms, sharpening artifacts, and not so nice frame edge performance, but the difference is not that large as I thought on the first sight. It is not easy to choose which one of the three is compact camera, and that is REALLY surprising, especially when thinking on many awards won by this particular Sony camera. C is a bit better than A, but difference is minimal.

                                • M

                                The best for low noise and details is the C, second comes the A with the best colour.

                                B is the poorest.

                                I would say:
                                C Sony
                                A Nokia
                                B Samsung
