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 think E (Pureview) is the best because of its colours and detail. A (N8) would be next because its colours with F (Olympus) a close third because it has more detail than A though less than E and it doesn't have completely natural colours. Next is D (HTC) then B (S3) and then C (iPhone)

              i think the best is E, because the oversampling of "The Nokia 808 Pureview" from 38Mp to 8Mp , :D , sure with this

                  E and F are the best...E is better though it is dull

                      E is definitely the best and definitely the 808 Pureview... (I don't know why it's so hard to see this pretty obvious matter for some of the readers...!!)

                      Come on Guys... Just download the images A, E & F (which are the only ones worth to download) and then compare.. Even a 1st grade child would notice which are which..

                      1) E - Pureview
                      2) F - Olympus
                      3) A - N8

                      Very close resemblance between A & E are pretty obvious.. Cooler & little bit dull (which is on the other hand more natural) colors itself say they are from same algorithm family Nokia...! (But 808 is way ahead when it comes to noise and sharpness of the image, closely look for the edges where N8 utterly fails against 808, Further 808 has larger field of view too...)

                      F has managed dynamic range pretty good but colors are more warmer.. Sharpness is just as good as 808 but field of view is little bit wider (Probably because it has a larger sensor than 808.)

                      Well, other images are not even worth to consider... sorry Guys.. I've been using an N8 for more than 1 year and I know what I'm talking about..

                      Waiting for 808 to reach my hand....!

                      Cheers...

                        E is the best. Although B and F looked ok on a couple of occasions.

                          E seems to be the Nokia 808

                            E has the best Picture... D's quality is very good too..

                              E is definitely Pure View - no doubt about it...
                              F comes second (Olympus perhaps)
                              A is N8
                              B is a bit saturated but does fairly well (S3)
                              C is a disaster (definitely One X)
                              D iphone 4S

                              Order of preference (best to worse)
                              E>F>B>A>D>C
