Nokia 808 PureView blind test: The sum of all pixels

14 June 2012
The Nokia 808 PureView has finally landed in swirling storms of hype. And of course, it wasn't given a chance to catch a breath. We didn't meet it empty-handed either. We had a finger on the shutter of some mean cameraphones and an EVIL digicam...

    Now I'm sure E is the most detail-rich shot, although gives just a little bit too much colour boost, and makes greens and reds seem slightly unnatural. But anyway most other shots already come out with much more unnatural colours.

    F comes as second with just slightly less detail, but with most natural colours. Gives a very slight orange tint for buildings though.

    Nokia N8 could possibly come as A, third by detail, too, and this shot also doesn't have oversaturated colours or looks oversharpened like the rest.

      F is obviously the clearest and most solid color reproduction. with all the hype it would be a shame if it wasn't the nokia super-sensor.

        C - HTC ONE X
        D - iPhone 4S
        E - Nokia 808 Pureview

                  AnonD-8295, 17 Jun 2012Nokia is running out of ideas ?? Who cares which camera ta... more@Boon, that whole "I'm buying a phone not a camera" argument is really wearing a little thin and you should work on a new one for sure.

                  I could just as easily state I am buying a cellphone not a laptop or tablet when you sing the praises of web browsing on your device of choice. Or I could just get a GPS when you sing the praises of Google Maps (or whatever other paid for service you need to use in place of the exceptional FREE Nokia Maps). Or why don't I just buy an 80s boom box instead of worrying about the sound quality on my phone, it's just a cellphone after all.

                  The funny thing about people claiming they are buying a phone and not a camera is the amount of people that share photos, taken with their cellphones, on social networks! If these photos were not worth taking, and not worthy of a decent camera, then why bother sharing them with others.

                  Get over yourself and your anti Nokia sentiment. It is embarrassing really...

                                    in my opinion:1 pict

                                    d


                                    3 pict

                                    b
                                    e
                                    ...

                                    4 pict

                                    f
                                    e
                                    d
                                    b
                                    a
                                    c

                                    F should be the oly and e should be the n808, c is a downer and the rest are all okay ish

                                    there also should be a dark scene (night scene), a dof example scene (this is very important), and a flash scene as these are equally important, if not more important then viewing stuff at 100% of 8mpx when most monitors don't go bigger then 24in 1920x1200 (maximum of 3mpx, real use max 2mpx)
