GSM Cameraphone Comparison Q2 2007

Test 3: Pictures at artificial light: different power, different distances

When you are indoors, in the dark, the flash saves the day. You’ll use the flash in a dark room, in the bar, in the disco or in darker environment, anywhere where there is no powerful lighting.

The result of the previous test has been repeated in this one as well! K800’s Xenon flash beat the competition in the dark rooms, 8-9 ft (3 m) category. It produces abundant light, lighting the objects and producing the most detail in the pictures. In close-ups the N95’s LED does a good job and, combined with the good software, takes the phone to second position in this test. Although equipped with a Xenon-like flash, KG920 is much worse than К800, but still wins the bronze medal. D900 and N93i are almost on a par, but N93i is a little worse off.
