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...

            In my opinion B,C & D looks exaggerated. A,E & F looks good with E & F better with less noise and I think E is 808, A is N8 and F is Olympus. A & E has similar colour representation. E at some places looks cooler while F a bit warmer but I don't wanna comment too much on colors as I'm a colour blink myself :). D is sure an iPhone due to its smaller FOV.

              E first and F second. Others can't even come close. I'm sure one of those is PureView the other is Olympus.

                      Sample Image E: is the best, But I hope that it is the Nokia-Pureview. Been tired of Samsung being the best :p

                        N8 Photos look better than the rest..

                          AnonD-34116, 15 Jun 2012The best is between E and F. E has slightly better low lig... moreE -> Olympus(larger sensor mean better low light capability)
                          F -> 808 pureview
                          It will be biggest surprise if E -> 808 pureview (their technology above my expectation ^_^)

                            Here's how I picked them:

                            (C) comparatively noisy: HTC One X.

                            (D) oversaturated colours: iPhone 4S.

                            (B) comparatively weaker chrominance, slightly yellowish: Samsung Galaxy S III.

                            (E) best shadow performance: Olympus E-PL2.

                            (A) similar to (F) in overall colour reproduction (same company), similar to (E) in resolution (downsampling 12>8 MPx): Nokia N8.

                            which leaves:

                            => (F) Nokia 808 PureView


                            However, I wouldn't be surprised and actually pleased if the 808 could be hiding behind the (E) images.
                            Well, let's see then...
