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...

                      Dont vote for your phones.
                      Vote for the best image. Only blind one can say that D, C or B images are the best. They are over post-processd and dont look natural.
                      Images E look natural with fine colors and very sharp,no noise. It is the best in this blind test.
                      Images F are very sharp, no noise at all but dont like colours. Images A fine natural colours,litle noise,not so sharp.
                      My vote goes for E as the best one.
                      Second place A and F

                        1. F - problably the Olympus
                        2. E - Pureview
                        3. B - Iphone 4s

                            f

                            c

                            e is in definite highest class. must be proffessional machine.(if it is mobile phone i will shoot myself :)

                            c is the worst certainly. I am sorry for the owners

                                i would say so:
                                1st F - pure view
                                2nd E - olympus
                                3rd D - n8
                                4th B - galaxy s3
                                5th A - 4s
                                6th C - one x

                                  E is the best, followed by F and D is close behind in third place in terms of sharpness. The rest (A,B,C) are clearly regular phone cameras - too much noise and artifacts in the picture, also less dynamic range, etc. So my guess is this:

                                  E - Oly
                                  F - 808
                                  D - N8

                                  Why? Well the Olympus just has to be better than all phones. Larger sensor and optics should mean better IQ. I would be very surprised (pleasantly) if E turns out to be the Nokia 808 Pureview. But I believe that it is F because it is the second best picture. D stands out from the rest so my guess is it is the N8, because it isn't quite as good as E and F.

                                  So, did I win something?

                                      Rest dont matter, make no difference which one is which

                                        E, in everyone, by far, the other looked way do difuminated, or overprocesated.
