Disappointed by the Nokia N70 Camera

[leptis]

I recently got a nokia n70 and being an optical engineer I decided to test it to the fullest using techniques i use at work and well the results actually shocked me. I found that the new phone i recieved was actually worst then my older motorola razr. I wrote it up on my blog and you can see check it out.

The Nokia N70 2MP Myth

Sorry but I disagree, my friend has one and its not much diffrent than any other 2 mp camera phone... and certainly is a thousand times better than Razr's camera.

RAZR = crappiest cell phone ever.

LOL @ people who expect a camera on a camera phone to be any good.

lol did you even look at the blog, i ran it thru industry testing specified by nokia and it came back with worst results for image sharpness.

I didnt just make some random comparision I actually tested it to death and used scientific methods not some hey i think this looks better BS method.

I don't understand why cell phones have cameras. It makes more sense to have a $50 cell phone like the Motorola F3, and spend the other $200 on a small Canon.

best camera phone ive ever used or seen is the Sony Ericsson S710a. it has a 1.3mp cam, and i know other phones have 2mp or even more, but this camera owns something fierce. i have a samsung slim slider with a 1.3mp, and it still doesnt compare, yet, its supposed to be the same..

The 2MP camera is worst then my old razr.

In reality the MP count camera phone vendors push really dont give an idea of the image quality. I know there is many factors one of the most important is the optics, that can seperate the diference between a good camera and bad one.

People and their MP.

Marketing has really brainwashed the consumers. More MP does not mean better image quality.

Why else would a normal camera take better pics than a camera phone? Also why would professional DSLRs take better pics than your normal point and shoot camera?

The answer isnt MP. Its the sensor size of the optical lens.

I can tell you that the camera on the VX8000 can take better pics than almost all phones out there and its only a 1.3mp.

finally someone who understands, that higher pixel count doesn't mean a thing.
