GSM Cameraphone Comparison Q4 2008
Share this page:
Also being a common situation for picture taking, we feel this is the next most important category. Usually indoors the light is never sufficient for a good photo and you’ll have to use the flash. It has to be powerful enough to illuminate the entire room in order to see objects and persons in real color as opposed to night vision pictures. We had used different light levels (bright, medium, and light) shot pictures from 6.5 and 13 feet.

2m\6.5feet - Strong light | 4m\13feet - Strong light | 4m\13feet - Low light |
From just the thumbnails it is visible who the winner in this test is. The C905 was the only 8MP camera that managed to illuminate the objects properly, and again the 5-megapixel N82 was second, surpassing the big guys. Even in a darker room and at 13 feet away snapping pictures is not a problem with those two devices. In contrast to that, the performance of the other models is mediocre at only 6.5 feet. This is definitely one of their weak sides. Let’s not forget that they are not simply cell phones with an average camera, but top shelf cameraphones.

Sorry i'm french! But i'm not agree with you! Press the first icon in the upper right on Renoir, registration takes a second better than the Pixon try!

It would be nice if you rated the best of the bunch based on JUST the camera. I mean it is a cameraphone comparison after all.

It’s not a fair comparison, with C905 there is the old firmware, with Renoir you have posted the worst blurry night pic (look at the same pic in your Renoir’s review: http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/image.php?m=Reviews.Images&f=name&id=42120&caption=Outdoor Samples&title=LG Renoir Review - Camera, Multimedia and Software ) and flash pic with iso 100!!! Nobody will trust you, you must learn from gsmarena...

PA is so bias against LG... it's obvious Renoir is the best in this comparison! Pixon has much less detail and pictures are blurry in comparison.

Audio and video in kc910 is out of sync.see video2 of Renoir.It's very bad.

I don't believe Renoir has such weak flash. I guess it's necessary to choose the right shooting mode. E.g. if you shoot with SE k810 in auto mode with flash almost all pictures are VERY dark. When you select Night Portrait everything is super!

For me its between the innov8 and the C905, the innov8 is huge, but it has everything i want. The C905 looks better (is smaller) but lacks some essentials. I have an N95 now, and symbian os on it is not the greatest, I've been very bored with it and its not thorough enough. What should I get? No touch screens for me, don't like the whole sensativity factor. Bulky Symbian innov8 or sleek lacking function C905?

INNOV* isn't bulky if you compare it with the C905 it's just longer that's all and the build quality is better in the INNOV8.

Picture saving time will be greatly improved(shortened) if you use external memory.
