5 megapixel face-off: Vox populi

We gathered a lot of opinions on the image quality of this improvised test. It turned out that in general the users' opinions are the same as ours.

As our grand 5-megapixel shootout gets closer to roll out date, we decided to hand you over the real identities of the contenders.

Bear in mind that the user rating is based solely on the image quality of the samples provided by us. All samples have been produced by final retail units. Those results are produced by a blind test taken by 500 or some visitors of GSMArena.com.

You may notice that the total number of votes may not be the same in all columns, since many users abstained from suggesting a full ranking and instead preferred to give their vote for the first and last place only.

You should also know however that this ranking is not necessarily the opinion of our team. It should be pointed out that image quality is just one parameter of our cameraphone shootouts. Some of the other things that we like to take into consideration are camera speed, camera interface, video capturing capabilities, etc.

In order to see all those covered when judging our contenders, stay tuned. We will be publishing our grand 5 megapixel camera shootout as soon as possible.
