Default Maximum PC Camera Showdown Pits Phones Against Each Other!

http://www.maximumpc.com/article/fe...ameras_put_test

"Let's face it: here at Maximum PC, we're all about competition. It's in our blood. From CPUs to video cards to motherboards to sandwich shops, we live to pit like products (or foodstuffs) against one another. In fact, we recently published an all out showdown between four warring phones and mobile platforms in our quarterly Maximum Tech issue which we're sure you read. That story (as many of our published stories sometimes do) encouraged us to dig a little deeper, and perform a little more testing. The cameras attached to these complex microcomputers are becoming increasingly powerful-many, in fact, are fully capable of taking very sharp and professional looking photos. But are these phones capable of holding their own against more sophisticated equipment? And which phone does it best?"

The above shot, despite being of cute little Android robots, was taken with an iPhone 4. The article it came from, over at Maximum PC pits many of the top phones against each other specifically in the area of camera quality. Thinking of buying a phone and the camera is a big factor? Then take a look and be informed!

I took a ton of pictures with my Droid X while in Maine on vacation. My wife and I were very impressed with the quality of the stills and the 720p video.

I'm glad to see camera's in phones starting to become useful. It's rare I'll use our point and shoot anymore unless I know I'm going to take a bunch of indoor pictures.

I could care less about the camera built into my phone. Only really useful for taking pictures of funny license plates, drunk friends at the bar, and quick pics to post on FB. If I'm concerned about picture quality, I'll bring my good P&S or my DSLR. My P&S lives in my car most of the time anyway.
