Battle of the 3+ megapixel cameraphones

by Sean Cooper, posted May 16th 2007 at 10:09PM

Comparing cameraphone image quality can be a tough nut; apart from obvious things like poor focus or grainy quality, it can be a pretty subjective beast. PhoneArena went wild with high end handsets to give us a "thousand-angle" view of what it takes to stand out in an über (notice the umlauted u? We don't do that often, so this is serious business) shootout between three 3 megapixel cams -- including the D900, K800, and N93i -- and the KG920 and N95 at 5 megapixels. Each handset is put through a series of grueling tests including shooting outdoors, night shots, and macro mode with points awarded based on how they fare in each challenge. We won't spoil the read for you, but as a hint the winner rhymes with "okia." Hit the read link to check it out.

Too bad they didn't include the i-Mobile 902... It's an average phone, but the camera - it's just fantastic!

At scanR, we check the sharpness of each image that people send to scanR and publish the aggregated results at www.CheckMyCameraPhone.com. Currently, the RAZR maxx and KDDI W41H lead the pack with the Nokia N95 and Sony Ericsson K790/800/810 right behind.

scanR, I don't mean to be rude but your post/self-promotion has nothing to do with that this post is about. It confuses people (like me) into thinking that your website honestly reviews the photograph quality of camera phones when really all it does is RATE HOW GOOD YOUR PHONE IS FOR SCANNING USING SCANR. Very misleading. At least re-phrase it better the next time you plug-in your website in a post.

They forgot Sharp 903 in that line up... That's the phone to beat in my opinion. It's been out since 2005 and it can produce digicam quality from its lens.
