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...

    I believe F is the best picture and B & E are pretty close in that order

            well..

            I may be totally off but jpeg analysis of compression is as following (from best to worst)

            F 13,79:1 (compression ratio)
            B 12,18:1
            E 11,93:1
            A 11,81:1
            D 10:33:1
            C 09,93:1

            So.. that goes like this

            F - Olympus
            B - N8 (yeah yeah.. I know..)
            E - 808
            A - One X
            D - S III
            C - i4S

                GSMARENA,

                if you want the users to VOTE,
                post a poll, its crazy enough to ask to post the poll votes in comments...

                  E and F are edging but I think its F as Nokia 808

                          F is the Pureview, the Oversampling makes the sky always darker

                          E is the Olympus it has larger sensor and therefore brighter image

                            I say E for the pureview, the F has some sharpening that doesn't correspond to a reduced picture. Best resolution without sharpening = large image reduction.

                              I would go for E for the 808.

                                I spend lot of time with these pict... and undoubtedly E is 808Pureview & best first time i thought F: olympus is 2.nd good pict... but now i m sure 2.nd is A: N8 beacuse look carefully to sky it is more natural on A. and read article (CVSTOS the time keeper) poster hanging on the building under the clock... only u can read on A and E...

                                  Thanks for this blindtest, here's my opinion, i would be damn surprised if i were wrong for most.

                                  It's approximative guessing, i can distinguish 4 groups of quality : C < A+E < B+D < F

                                        fb.com/erfantiamat, 16 Jun 2012 A_nokia n8 B_Iphone 4s C_htc one x D_samsung galaxy s ... moretotally agree with you , and i guess E "the DSLR" is the best but it is close in results with F"808" , although they didn't say what kind of lens they used, bigger lens could give better results
