Posted August 2, 2014 Well I have nothing better to do, and I just happened to come up with the idea of doing a quick comparison test between the three devices that happened to be sitting on the table next to me. The HTC One M8, the latest flagship from HTC, with it's 4MP "Ultrapixel" camera and dual LED two-tone flashThe HTC MyTouch 4G, one of the smartphones to have back in late 2010, with it's 5MP camera and single LED flashThe Sony DSC-H50, not quite a DSLR, but better then a point and shoot. 2008 had it's days, with its 9MP sensor, 15x optical zoom, and Xenon flash Just took a few tests around the house to see some quick comparison. Didn't do any zoom shots because a) for the sake of being on a forum the devices had image size set to VGA natively (not resized) and B) everyone knows digital zoom on phones sucks unless you have a Nokia PureView 808 or Lumia 1020. Close up test: 1/24 scale Honda Civic HTC MyTouch 4GHTC One (M8)Sony DSC-H50The HTC One and Sony camera both captured lots of detail, however with the One delivering much more light into the shot, which may be preferable to some people, and a con for others. The MyTouch 4G, although produced a more grainy and noisy image, seems to have the most realistic color reproduction, especially in areas such as the paint job with the off-color driver side door and amber turn signal. Winner: Draw Room test: Storage roomMyTouch 4GHTC One (M8)Sony DSC-H50 Although the HTC One produced the most detailed image, it again comes in brightest, causing some areas of extreme white to become too bright. The aging MyTouch 4G starts to show it's age. Winner: Sony DSC-H50 Dark test: Shelf in dark room, with lighting provided by Toshiba Tecra R700 laptop at maximum brightness sitting 1.5m from shelfMyTouch 4GHTC One M8Sony DSC-H50 The brightness of the UltraPixel sensor gave the HTC One the leading edge here, over the dim Sony and almost pitch black MyTouch 4G. Winner: HTC One M8 Dark test with flash: Same situation as above, however using having the devices built in flash enabled.MyTouch 4GHTC One (M8)Sony DSC-H50 This test actually really surprised me. Although the MyTouch 4G produced a noticeably noisier and slightly dimmer image, it put up quite a good fight against the HTC One, and if I wasn't comparing these pics side by side I'd be hard pressed to tell that it came from a phone that's almost 4 years old. Detail is still good and the content is still easily comprehendable. However both were no match for the Sony, who's Xenon flash gave it the win in brightness, detail, and color accuracy. Winner: Sony DSC-H50 Outdoor test: Quick snap of my backyardHTC MyTouch 4GHTC One (M8)Sony DSC-H50 In the final test, the HTC One again had overexposure in very bright areas. The MyTouch 4G actually seemed to produce the "nicest" image, with quite a lot of detail, and really nice colors. The Sony however, did provide the more realistic colors. To some people the Sony might take the win here, but I know many people who would actually prefer the MyTouch 4G. Winner: Tie - Sony DSC-H50 and HTC MyTouch 4G Overall Scoring: HTC MyTouch 4G - 2 HTC One (M8) - 2 Sony DSC-H50 - 4 Looks like the discrete digital camera, despite it's age, still reigns best. However it's really interesting to see how far we've come with cell phone cameras. The most interesting thing to me was how well the MyTouch 4G has held up over almost four years, still being able to be put against the latest $700 flagship from HTC and being able to strut it's stuff and put up a good fight. This post wasn't really for anything, but it did take a lot of time, so please like and reply! "Rawr XD" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 2, 2014 well the sensor size of the H50 is 1/2.3 vs the M8 which is at 1/3.0 pretty close in terms of sensor size If your grave doesn't say "rest in peace" on it You are automatically drafted into the skeleton war.

Posted August 2, 2014 I'd like to see a comparison of one of those Nokia cameras in the mix. Perhaps to the Sony one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have one of the Nokia phones with the PureView cameras, but if I do get them I'll make sure to take pics! "Rawr XD" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
