What is a phone's camera capable of?

Test pictures – wide angle

And now let’s see the long awaited test pictures! We went out to three places to take pictures in daylight and we also tested macro mode in weak, dispersed light. We have omitted night mode photos intentionally, as we couldn’t fasten G800 on a tripod, since it has no connector.

We set sensitivity to the lowest possible on three of the four tested devices, but unfortunately we couldn’t alter this value at the Fuji, so it set it automatically. We have used the other ones in P mode (program automatics), which means that shutter speed and aperture were set automatically, but we tampered with light metering and white balance; we’ve set the first one to average, while the latter one to automatic. As the small A500 has no such settings, we used it in AUTO mode. Pictures taken with the Pentax have a different aspect ratio from the others and in tele mode we had to use a smaller focal distance due to the kit objective, so there are some differences between the pictures.

The noisiest of the four pictures is undoubtedly the one taken with G800, the one taken with the bit old A500 is much clearer. Judging color fidelity is a bit subjective; I again consider the pictures of the Fuji better than the one produced by Samsung’s phone.

At the next site G800 performed better than the entry-level Fuji camera, which made blurred pictures poor in detail. Both of them fall behind the two, more advanced, cameras from the point of view of noise level.
