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...

"C" is far behind(i would be ashamed if it was my phone).
"A,B,D" same level, relatively nice pictures for mobile phone.
"F" clean and high quality image.
"E" really high quality image, free of noises and the colors are real and vivid (if it is Nokia 808 PureView then this is just an incredible accomplishment).

1.E
2.F
3-5.A,B,D
6.C

TIP:Look at the sky in the first image and see how much noise there in C, A, B and D.

      E and F are obviously the best so certanly it's the Nokia 808 and the Olympus, however, the F got noticeable barrel distortion which sure is the fault of the lens used on the camera, so, E is the pureview and F is the olympus. No doubt about that.

      C is the worse, probably it is the One X.

        the best by far it's F, and that's epl2 looks like nobody knows about sensor size and epl2 by far it's the biggest and better sensor.

            E is the 808, and F is the dedicated camera

              E is definitely the best be it the N808 or the dedicated camera.

                          The #1 is F, dedicated camera. The #2 is E, the 808. The rest of the pictures have much lower quality.

                            If pureview is not E or F I'm cancelling my order! C is embarrassing.

                              1. E
                              2. F
                              3. D
                              4. B
                              5. A
                              6. C (doesn't even deserve a place among these)

                              E has way more level of detail than the rest (I think E is the pureview)
                              F looks sharper than E, though not as detailed, and the colours in F look punchier too (I think F is the regular camera, or could it be the N8?).
                              I love the (E) for its amazing level of detail, could be a bit sharper though (noneteless, I wouldn't mind going manual on this for the perfect picture :))
