----------N97---------
Main disadvantages
* Outdated camera interface and features
The camera UI is similar to the one found in 5800 XpressMusic and a carbon copy of the one in N97 - the few changes made are hardly for the better. All the settings are squeezed in a common menu, except for the flash, which has its own dedicated shortcut. We understand that a tabular layout isn't the easiest of thing this kind of devices but some of the more important features could have had their own shortcuts too.
At least the range of settings that the Nokia N97 mini offers is extensive enough: from manual white balance and ISO to exposure compensation, sharpness and contrast. Various effects are also at hand, labeled as Color Tones.
Nokia N97 mini lacks all the modern features that the other competing manufacturers are using such as face detection, smile detection and even blink prevention - not to mention in-camera face retouching or the likes.
The Nokia N97 mini viewfinder doesn't occupy the whole screen - a bar on the right is reserved for the touch controls. You have a settings button that launches a semi-transparent overlay of all available shooting options, a dedicated Flash button and an on-screen shutter key.
The on-screen shutter key seems absolutely redundant - it doesn't have a half press/full press action to properly handle auto focus. It would've been way better to have a Quick Settings button instead.
The picture quality is pretty decent in our books. First of all the picture detail is enough to qualify the photo as a very nice one. The next thing is the noise reduction algorithm is mature enough and finds a good balance between noise levels and detail. There is no purple fringing and the white balance and auto ISO settings worked just fine.
If there is one thing to complain about in the Nokia N97 mini photos, it would be the color balance. Most of the photos have generally warmer colors and the yellow tint is at times too much to swallow. Bear in mind though that quite a lot point and shoot cameras are tuned to reproduce colors warmer than they really are since this makes the photos look more vibrant and appealing to the end-users.
The dynamic range is also not quite impressive with highlight clipping a bit more frequent that we would have liked.
-------------------Samsung Wave------------------
The Samsung S8500 Wave is capable of taking 5 megapixel photos and capturing 720p videos.
The S8500 camera viewfinder is quite reminiscent of company's recent cameraphones. The comfortable interface is nicely touch-optimized and has all you need on the two vertical bars on each side of the viewfinder.
All the bases are covered - ISO, white balance, default storage, stabilizer, face and blink detection, geo-tagging etc. You can switch the default storage between the main memory and the microSD card.
If you want to use the touch focus feature, you need to double tap on the area you wish to focus on and then use the camera key to take a picture.
The Wave produces nice photos for a 5-megapixel cameraphone. The amount of resolved detail is very good and noise levels are kept under reasonable control. Sometimes the contrast seems a bit low, but most of the images are good enough. Here go the Samsung S8500 Wave samples.
The Wave captures 720p@30fps videos. Unlike the Sony Ericsson Vivaz, the S8500 Wave doesn’t feature continuous autofocus during video recording. Samsung Wave however outputs videos at full 30fps (29.970 to be precise), while the Sony Ericsson Vivaz maxes out at 24fps.The Samsung Omnia HD was also trying out for a 24fps output but even with its latest firmware (March 2010) it hardly reaches that and its videos run around 20-22 fps.
The resolved detail is excellent, perhaps the best we’ve seen so far among the 720p competition. Contrast is good and the noise levels and compression are amazingly low. The price of the lower compression affects the file size – 15 seconds of video take 20 MB.
