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...

          ...take a peek at the Galaxy SIII review and it provides a little bit of a giveaway as to which photo is from that phone... and no, it is not E! :)

            E is definitely the best. It has noticeable more detail and less noice than F.

              My opinion (without reading others): E is the best and it's the PureView. F is second best and is probably the digicam. Third is A which is N8. Then iPhone B and the worst is C which is One X.

                My list that i think that fit all names.

                1. B Nokia 808 PureView (8MP PureView mode)
                2. D HTC One X
                3 A .iPhone 4S
                4. C Samsung Galaxy S III
                5. E Nokia N8 (downsampled from 12MP to 8MP)
                6. F Olympus E-PL2 interchangable lens, large sensor camera (downsampled from 12MP to 8MP)

                    Look at the details in E apart from the obvious ones - the little fine details. The railing just on top of the (i guess) cafes (behind the car wash) at the right side: one can easily see the horizontal railing and the vertical ones in between them. Even the, my guess from what I could figure, "OMV Car Wash" is more clearer. Also the railings immediately adjacent to the main road seeing in between the 3 trees - one can see all the vertical lines. F here, though similar low noise as E if not lower, has failed to retain these details as much as E has and I guess is due to the extra warm tone in F. So, the winner has to be E.

                          E wins hands down. Followed by F.

                            it is so obvious...that F is the Olympus camera:
                            1-has a dust spot (visible on the blue sky)
                            2-very good and clear image
                            now...E...is again obvious that is the 808:
                            1-the image has a coledr look
                            2-very good and very clear image (i would say better than Olympus...in terms of clarity)
                            next:
                            D-is the i phone...it has the tightest aperture
                            A-N8...the same cold image
                            B-Samsung S3
                            C-HTC One X

                            have a good day :)

                              E has to be the PureView. It's great! ME GUSTA!

                                F, though it is not the best on zoom.
                                Like the sharpness of B and D is OK.

                                  E looks more natural than F and has more detail than F.
                                  Just go near right edge of both images and observe UniCredit Bulbank and the greeen area to its left!!!
                                  E wins IMO.

                                    E is the best.
