5 megapixel face-off: Vox populi

5 megapixel face-off: Vox populi - read the full textIt’s been a while since our last cameraphone shootout and you know how much we love them. With all those 5 megapixel cameraphones around, our hands were just itching to make a grand 5 megapixel face-off with as many of the current 5 megapixel cameraphones as possible. The stars in this episode of our Shootout series...

Very interesting. C is best. It has the most natural hues, the best depth of field, and the best definition; altho the last (flower) photo colour is strangely at odds with the others. Are they ALL that much, colour distorted? I'd like to think this is the G-600, but I believe it is the N95
D is second b4 A, as it has better definition, and slightly better colour. These 2 very close. One is Samsung (D?) and the other LG
B has too much cast, and poor resolution. I tend to agree with others that it is the Sony Ericsson.
I look forward to the announcement.
I also agree that the Samsung G-800 would be a better comparison.

Reliably CABD, though the latter are quite close due to one having slightly sharper images and the other having better colour definition.

C in particular doesn't look like a cameraphone image, especially on the buildings. A is good, but the image is a little over sharpened.

How anyone can rate C last is beyond me - what criteria are they using?!

Hello,
my ranking is as follows (best to not so best):
1. A - sharp lenses, but colors are a little bit washed out and seems to do some overexposures compared to C (maybe owing to the shooting conditions).
2. C - has sharpest lenses, but colors are oversaturated, underexposure shows.
3. B - seems to have big preference to red, lenses are soft but perform best on the macro shots.
4. D - softest lenses, most inacurate colors of all four.

Also, quick with the results please as i think im getting the nokia n95 8gb. Let me know as I think C is best, A second. If everyone here is saying that B is a Nokia (which is not the greatest) i might switch brands.

B-Best

1 - C: has the best colors by far, lots of detail, no purple fringing and good exposure, most notably in bright areas.

2 - A: over sharpened and prone to highlight clipping (bright details are blown). Yet may appeal to novices.

3 - B: noisy, lots of purple finging, yet still has some detail in it.

4 - D: poor color, noise, purple fringing, low level of detail... has a bit of every fault possible. An insult to the knowledgeable.


I'm really curious which is which.

C
A
B
D

But the gap between C and the rest is the biggest. Differences between other 3 aren't that big.

My opinion from bes to worst
1-B
2-C
3-A
4-D
in 2 shots C outdid B but in most B was the clearest definitely (especially in macro shots). A was very mediocre and D was absolutely shoddy (my K810 performs better and its 3.2 megapixel)!!
This is my unbiased opinion and im a SE fan so whatever Phone B is i will buy no matter what phone it is.
