8 megapixel mega shootout: Picture this

10 November 2011
In a time honored tradition, we have the latest and greatest cameraphones lined up and ready to shoot for the top. It's been a while, we know. The last time we had a taste of 8MP sharpshooting action was in the distant 2008. 8MP then and 8MP now...

    LOL at all the butthurt fans... yea, yea, Apple buys all the reviews on the net.

    iPhone 4S is the BEST! Realize it, accept it, admit it.

    Nokia is irrelevant... forget the N8, it's a camera with a dumbphone features.

                Lol at all of these kids that only run after apple.

                They don't understand that if it wasn't for NEC / Nokia to pave the way for general mobile phones, these companies wouldn't even have a leg to stand on.

                  iPhone's not the winner. It shows good photos in this particular review, but if you go to it's resolution chart in the iPhone dedicated review you'll see how oversharpened iPhone's photos are. Not a good camera at all.

                    WHAT???!!! SGSII in second place? it can't even capture colors... But I still love the 1080p feature.
                    iPhone deserves it right.
                    Sony Ericsson... hmm... Ericsson is the problem here. When Sony phones arrive, MAYBE they can dominate excellent qualities on screens and cameras.
                    HTC? just good in performance.
                    Nokia - what happened to the successor of N8?

                      Bleeding Christ Nokia, WHAT HAPPENED? The N9's camera is a complete waste of time. I'll be sticking with my N8...

                      That said, when it is time to upgrade my *camera phone* it looks like I will have to go iPhone. Never saw that one coming...

                        No matter what, these phone will beat the mighty 12mp n8.
                        Considering n8 as a daily phone, nope.. N8 screen is just narrow and and less integration. But updates are still running smoothly eventhough its a 1 year and half phone. It still selling like hot cakes! n8 is just another camera phone but not as a daily heavy user phone.

                        Suprisingly Apple and Samsung wins the camera test against the mighty Nokia-Carl Zeiss.

                        Hopefully there will be a 12mp phone with quad core , hd screen, short focal length, and a big ram. Future is coming with the next update of SGS3 and iPhone 6. The world famous phone name.

                          Nokia n8 is still best camera phone, I know this article is sponsored by apple, thats why they intentionally neglected n8.

                            I guess they didn't measure the time it takes you to unlock your iPhone 4S and go into the camera app for the start up.

                              Anonymous, 11 Nov 2011I would say that's incorrect. Nokia has been in this indust... moreIts true that Sony Ericsson\Sony fans are less in numbers... Their quality was never bad, be it in camera dept or the build... Sony produces some of the best entry\mid\high range point and shoot cameras... So it is not difficult for them to produce "exceptional" camera performance on mobiles (They too use carl zeiss optics for their cameras)... Now all they require is to have a CEO or whoever is responsible to create one monster of a device that will answer to all your questions and create History...

                                Nokia N8 and SE Satio are the true phone camera setters, shame there OS sucks!

                                  To avoid favouritism next time shoot pics and dont reveal the camera phone used to shoot that pic. That way one can evaluate and vote...
                                  photo quality depends a lot,on human eye perception, ehat for one can be one thing for other can be another....

                                  I believe you did that the last time gsm arena...

                                    GSMarena is obviously very bias in this review. Iphone 4S here and there. How much Steve Jobs paid you before his death? I know you won't publish this but this message is for you gsmarena people to read.
