iPhone 5s beats Lumia 1020 in Camera Shootout

[solosdk]

So yeah apparently 41MP don't matter because the i5s can produce better colours and more detail

Shooting on auto mode doesn't make one camera better than another, it only means the software of the 5S handles auto mode better than on the 1020.

Pretty impressive on Apple's part for the color quality. I mean who in the right mind will need so much pixels for selfies?

[solosdk]

I know its auto mode but tell me which average joe is going to change all those settings in order to take just a quick snap?

Well then it's not fair to title the thread as it is now, is it?

The average joe isn't going to get a Lumia 1020, the only people who will buy are camera geniuses

[VSG]

Probably not accurate in the US

+1 if you want a lumia and do not know how to use that camera properly you get a 920 or 925...

Can you please stop fanboying over Apple products? Those are the only threads you make almost. It's sickening.

Personally I find that auto mode is crappy... In most situations the sets somekinda weird lightning modes and picture is blue or too yellowish(HTC One S)

The 1020 is not meant for the average Joe, that is what their 900 phones are for.

tbh I feel from there photos its at least a draw imo if not lumia, even if on auto. plus u get tbe added bonus of a 41mp image to edit later if ya wish. id ti mer with a settings till I got a good setup for most situations and test it against its auto

[atrash]

I clicked on the link and all i see was an Iphone 5S ads.

[ivhyn]

I gotta admit though, the iPhone really takes some nice photos. The color is natural and Apple didn't hop onto the Megapixel train.

[Levis95l]

So in conclusion: Lumia 1020 has a better camera but automatic white balance adjustment sucks.

[Kirihuna]

iPhone 5s camera is better than the 5 IMO. The s4s camera was bad for me. Never focused right. Most picture were blurry.

But I'd love a 41mp camera.

[juretrn]

That site is completely unbiased and legit. /sarcasm

 

That review is such BS... how on earth would such a little camera beat a giant sensor with real optics, OIS and whatnot? As if someone claimed a point-and-shoot can beat a DSLR.

[LegendKillerRG]

Sony made the best camera Sensor which is in the iPhone 5S FYI... Other device with the same or similar sensor from Sony will most likely get the same kind of quality of the camera on the iPhone 5S.. Color accuracy is something most people wont care about because no one is going to edit their picture on their computer with a phone that took picture. In my opinion, smartphone's camera don't really matter if it's higher than 8MP with good color but if you dare compare photo then what's the point of having to take picture with a smartphone? Digital camera is and will perform better than smartphone. No one uses photo from their smartphone for their desktop nor for their picture around the house... After everyday use, you wont notice that the color on your phone is very bad nor very good...

[Tataffe]

Kids ... with a small lens like the ones used in smartphones, picture quality will always suck. No matter how many MP are behind it. (Did you ever consider, that a 4K-image is only ~8 MP?)

 

Sincerely, a DSLR user.

[jrfox87]

They are smartphones, they take decent shots at best. I rarely use the camera on my phone, but when I do its for meaningless shots that go on instagram or something. When I want to do even a little bit of photography then I pull out my Canon 6D.

[Humbug]

I'm sick of trying to explain to my friends why not to judge cameras by the number of megapixels.

[sperkowsky]

apple does cameras well no one can argue that

[pit5000]

it would be nice to have 41MP for all my photos, i have a 5S and the color accuracy is really good, but i just wished they would have higher resolution by now.

 

im not too sure about the true-tone flash vs the xenon flash though

[Ultimate_PIMP]

No, the iphone 5s camera is the better one hands down. Changing the aperture or iso will not change the color and detail the lumia takes in. The way that the lumia processes the photo is the main problem.
