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...

Omar Mohamed, 15 Jun 2012From the best to the worst. 1- E: PureView. 2- F: the D... moreAfter PureView proves that it`s better than the Dslr, please compare with a high end one.

Like your Canon 5D Mark III.

I just want to see what it will do.

      I think B and F are the sharpest, but the tiny details in B are sharper than others and the colours in F look unatural. So my vote goes to B.

          i'm actually using E as a benchmark here! A is second cause it has almost the same contrast and colours to E, it just doesnt have enough pixels. F is third cause although its sharp you can see its trying a bit too hard to compensate.
          C must be the smartest one cause its not even trying to be the best! XD

                    E is the best. Highest level of detail, could use some higher contrast though to match F's "punch".

                        E and F are the best and it's the PureView and the Olympus E-PL2 respectively. Why? E got a more natural sharpness, thanks to the downsampling from a much higher resolution, the E-PL2 is next to the maximum resolution of the sensor so you can see a bit of unnatural post-processing sharpness on the pictures. Also, if you compare the E and F you can see some barrel distortion on the F that doesn't exist on the others, so I REALLY doubt that it's the lens of the PureView, however, barrel distortion is pretty normal on zoom lens, and that could be used on the E-PL2.

                                A - N8 (color is natural)

                                C - OneX (worst)
                                D - 4S (narrow scope)
                                E - PureView (detail! color is similar to A)
                                F - Camera (detail!)

                                  F is the best shot, and E: the second best. Which one is Nokia Pureview and which one - Olympus EL, GSMArena will tell

                                    Could be F also, but since i like cooler colors more, i bet for E ;)
