Macro, night and flash pictures
There is no problem with the macro capabilities of the contestants, all four pictures are really nice. It might be confusing that Innov8 took a photo with lighter tones, the reason for this might be that we have accidentally held it a bit closer to the object, so it might not have been able to focus perfectly.

The differences are clearly visible on the night photos. I should note that all the pictures have been taken with night mode turned on, if we don’t enable this then we get some very disappointing results. Noise level is rather high on all four pictures, since three of them set a high sensitivity (Innov8: ISO 400, Pixon: ISO 320, LG: ISO 200), and we can see the difference between the image sensors that the noise level is still about the same on all photos. Sony Ericsson, however, didn’t change much: sensitivity remained at ISO 100, which shows that not only the manual setting is missing, but even the automatics can’t change this value, which is more than strange. Only the two Samsung phones took usable images, it’s no use talking too much about LG’s near black and white, underexposed horror, or Sony Ericsson’s overly dark image, using a wrong white balance, as they tell quite much about themselves.

Finally let’s see the flash images, which have been taken in pitch black. None of the handsets had any problems with focusing, Sony Ericsson C905 has a dedicated LED for an AF light, while others have used the flash to light up the object during focusing. We’ve been expecting the best results from the slider, as it has a huge Xenon flash, and fortunately we haven’t been disappointed, it took a really nice picture. It’s still surprising that Innov8 took a similarly great picture, although it has only a LED flash. Pixon didn’t do much, while LG took a mediocre, a bit too dark photo, even though this has a Xenon flash as well.
