Verizon Cameraphone Comparison Q4 2007

Test 4: Macro

This test demonstrates how well the phones can take pictures of close-up objects. Even though this is one area where most people don’t often use their cameraphones, it is still interesting to see which devices can capture the best macro image. We should also point out in front that the V9m is not capable of macro images, due to it not having Autofocus, but we decided to test it regardless.

For the first time the Voyager jumps into 1st place, since its macro images were the most in-focus out of the tested phones. The FlipShot comes into 2nd and the Maxx Ve is a close 3rd, with the FlipShot producing slightly more in-focus images than the Maxx Ve. Lastly, the V9m is in 4th place, due to it not having an Autofocus system to take macro images with.
