Mon. 04.12.10 – Once again, I will let you the gentle reader be the judge of this contest between the Nokia N82 and the Nokia N86 8MP. The contest for this set of photos was a very bright, mid-day sun while at the Huntington Library & Gardens in San Marino, California.
The question I wanted to raise in this set was how would each camera phone titan do in bright mid-day sun (very unforgiving) in terms of color, clarity, close-up and far away, as well as light handling with no flash. As with last week’s Part I of the Nokia N82 vs. the Nokia N86, I did my best to make sure both cameras had the exact same settings and distance from the subject, and I did not alter the photos in post-production in any way other than to reduce all of them to 640×480.
Which camera phone do you prefer?

N82 wins a couple, but N86 seems better overall.
Good job, Ms Jen! Great comparison! Would be even better if you can provide reference photos by a standalone camera next time, so that we can compare color accuracies more easily. 🙂
The Nokia N86 8MP delivered more real colors, but then some of the shtos were not par on N82. But just tweaking some white balance and setting the ISO will give N86 a boost. Overall N86 wins.
