Digital Camera Vs. Camera Phone

Posted by kdawson on from the gonna-sell-a-lot-of-N95s dept.

An anonymous reader writes "CNet.co.uk has done some simple head-to-head testing of camera phones alongside digital cameras to see which device takes the best quality pictures. The results are surprising, with Nokia's latest handset, featuring a built-in 5-megapixel camera, taking more vibrant pictures in medium light conditions than a 10-megapixel dSLR. Of course, the pictures aren't fully representative of how the images would look at full size; but given that most people resize images to put on Flickr, we could start to see a decline in dedicated digital cameras sales and an increase in camera phone sales."

  1. John McCain on the Daily Show: Bomb bomb bomb by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Totally offtopic, but did anyone else see John McCain totally fucking tank tonight on the Daily Show? Not to overestimate the newsworthiness of the Daily Show—usually insignificant, yes—but I have a feeling this is going to be in the news for the rest of the week.

    I've never, ever seen any sitting politician blow it so hard in an interview. And aside from any substantiative matters, the man simply sounded like he's on his fucking deathbed. Like he's days from the grave.

    Was anyone else watching tonight, and encouraged and inspired by this tragic foretelling of McCain's impending, certainly spectacular, oblivion?

    Nah, I love my camera phone, and it's very nice to have around just in case. but i love my eos 350d for hardcore shooting, it takes far better pix than a camera phone ever will. http://picasaweb.google.com/fishyfool/
