3-megapixel camera-phones comparison: D900, K800, N73, N80, N93

For our comparison we tested how the phones' cameras perform in different lighting conditions:

1. Outdoor in day light
2. Macro
3. Indoors with average light (at 3, 6, 9, and 15 feet)
4. Indoors with NO light at all (fat 3, 6, and 9 feet)
5. Outdoor night-shots with night-mode on
   

We compared the five 3-megapixel phones with point-n-shoot 3-megapixel digital compact camera (Canon SD200 Digital Elf). We won't comment on the images produced by the Canon, but will put them just for a comparison.

1. In the outdoor photos during the day, the best results were achieved with the D900, which was far above the N73 and the K800, both close to each to other. Overall, it was D900 that gave more accurate color representation and detail, but in some situations the N73 and K800 were better. The non-autofocus N80 is at the forth position and N93 rates fifth.

2. In macro photography, again the D900 produced the best detail in capturing the tiny flowers and the text in the book.  It messed the white balance with the colorful toy (with artificial light) but the image produced was detailed. The colors and the resolution at the chart were the best. N73 was 2nd with very good results with the flowers and flawless macro image of the toy, and the K800 and N80 share the 3rd place. The N93 didn't use its auto-focus when switched to macro and produced blurry photos.
