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...

              A is nokia n8 .. becuase being a wider lens it gets more detail.. i mean u get a bigger picture there... as u can see in some pics.. Picture A is 1 cm longer than the rest... giving more detail...


              B whoever is, its a very good camera too.. in some pics like the second one you can check on the board that the letters seem larger and more clearer to read.. while in A and C its not so LARGE .... B maybe the digicam ...

              neways i hope A is n8 cuz its good and bad in some aspects.. and dont worry it will get better with firmware or with your own custom settings...

              right now its like 100/3 to each

                  Sony and Nokia!, 05 Oct 2010I have the Satio and the pixon 12, N8 is the next thing on ... moreI completely agree with the verdict!

                  The B shots are the most saturated and the shots from the N8 tend to be less saturated so since be has the most saturation it has to the PIXON12

                      I have the Satio and the pixon 12, N8 is the next thing on my list to do my own camera shootout.


                      Verdict:

                      A.Sony HX5v
                      B.pixon 12
                      C.Nokia N8

                        I think

                        A= cybershot
                        B= pixon
                        C= N8

                          Seymon, 05 Oct 2010I own a Sony HX5V, so I can clearly say, that A = HX5 becau... moreRegarding B = Pixon12

                          ...it is hard to understand... I went back to look at Pixon12 reviews from GSMarena, and their the colour bleeding isn't as horrific as they are in this test.

                            kudos to gsmarena for doing a blind test. for me its either A or C, my guess would be A though.

                              I'm guessing:

                              A = N8
                              B = Pixon
                              X = Sony cybershot something er other.

                                      A = samsung pixon 12
                                      C = sony

                                        I own a Sony HX5V, so I can clearly say, that A = HX5 because of its low noise/high "smoothness"...

                                        C is the N8 because the better fine detail on letters and better colour reproduction...

                                        and yeah... B is left for the poor Pixon12
