Smartphone Camera Results
Posted: Thu Jan 30, 2014 6:06 pm
Any smartphone camera lovers on the forum? What is your preference? Mine is an iPhone 5s, so, naturally, I decided to make this post 
On a more serious note, I really do like the iPhone 5s. It replaces my need to haul around these items when I travel: camera, phone, voice recorder, GPS navigation device, email reader, internet surfing device, document reader and editor, music player, video watcher, books, games, calculator, dictionary, encyclopedia, survival guide, flashlight, alarm clock, stopwatch, gas price checker, restaurant advice, maps, and several others I'm sure I've forgotten to mention. Three years ago I thought the iPhones were a gimmick designed to separate my money from my pocket without much benefit; then I purchased an iPhone 4 and then an iPhone 5s last fall. Now, the iPhone is probably my most favored "optional" electronic device I've owned - going back to the mid-1950s.

In a blind camera taste test pictures from the iPhone 5s beat out ones from its five main competitors

Seemingly every month new phones are released, each boasting new features that set it apart from the competition. And yet even the most cutting-edge iPhone, the 5s, still comes with a measly 8MP camera. To put things in perspective its rival from Sony, the Xperia Z1 Compact, has a 20.7MP camera. All this variation got the fine folks at PhoneArena.com wondering; in a blind test judged by readers which phone would produce the best photos.
The following phones were used in their test: iPhone 5s, LG G2, HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S4, Sony Xperia Z1 and the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact. PhoneArena took three sets of six photos using each of the six cameras. Readers were shown all three sets and asked which phone took the best photo, without knowing which camera was responsible.
Out of the six camera's tested the iPhone 5s came out on top with 34.77 percent of voters choosing it as the superior device. Interestingly the second place and last place went to the Sony Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z1 Compact, respectively. Despite the gulf between their scores the two phones have the same 20.7MP camera.
