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...

      At my opinion from best to worst.
      1) E - Nokia 808 Pureview

      2) F - Olympus


      3) A - N8 maybe
      4) B - probably 4S

      5) D - SGS3




      6) C - Htc One X (@GsmArena: Are you sure that this was not taken by a front camera and upscaled to 8MP? :DDD)

      All those who say D or B or A are the best they are blind or they don't want to accept the reality...

            This is great fun! Tell us which one is which and then do one in low light.

            If you still don't have enough page hits - and nobody ever has enough page hits - do a blind test comparing the PureView with the Olympus E-PL2 at various zoom settings. Let us determine experimentally if PureView technology has any drawbacks that might compare favorably or unfavorably with the inherient limitations of zoom lenses. Today's test compares at only at a single fixed focal length, and the whole idea of PureView is zooming without a zoom lens, right?

              Best = E
              2nd = F
              3rd = A
              ...

                      E is the camera, F is the 808

                        E is the best, F comes in second, A third. If Nokia's right about the dynamic range of the 808, E should be the 808.

                          "E" is the all round sharpest contender ,, i think this would be Olympus ELP-2...

                            My vote is phone "E".

                              I can't decide between D and F (maybe PureView and Olympus). They are the best in my opinion. Than I can put E (probably N8) and than B. And A and C are the worse ones.

                                then
                                F

                                  Think F is best, then E. The next would be A, B, C and D. I can't really tell the difference in detail between F and E but prefer the warmer colours of F.

                                    E is definitely the best in my unbiased and pure view....
