SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 - IMAGE SHOTS

When I saw these pictures I truly was happy that samsung has produced a fantastic mobile phone overall.

I personally like its continuous shot mode in the camera. For an 8 megapixel camera it does the phone good justice

(I was hoping for 12-14 Megapixel, maybe they should think

about upgrading it soon)

NOKIA 808 PUREVIEW

The Nokia 808 PureView has finally landed in swirling storms of hype. And of course, it wasn't given a chance to catch a breath. We did give it a proper welcome though. Some mean camera phones and an EVIL digicam were all lined up to greet the guest and there we were too, finger on the shutter.

Yes, we had ourselves a nice little shootout. But rather than simply tell you the score, we've decided to make you a part of the action. We give you side-by-side shots of what's probably the most exciting cameraphone contest we've had so far.

If you're not too familiar with the phone, the Nokia 808 PureView was unveiled at this year's MWC in Barcelona, and made quite the splash with an unheard of 41MP camera sensor. Essentially, the device supports several shooting modes, in which the sensor is able to produce either a highly-detailed 8MP image, with the added benefit of a super-long zoom, or a full-resolution 38MP image that can be broken down to multiple 8MP crops.

Needless to say, the PureView is one of the most-hyped devices we've seen for a while now, and Nokia have put a lot of talk behind the ridiculously large sensor. We've all seen video and camera samples of the device in action, but how does it really fare against what's on the market?

This is where the blind test comes in. We want to provide a no-hype, no-nonsense look at how good the PureView camera really is, without the rampant fanboy-ism that surrounds all popular brands and devices.

Here, we'll post just the results from the shootout, and randomly designate each contestant with a letter from A - F. You're welcome to guess which device stands behind each of the letters, but that's not the main point here.

We've aimed to select some of the best in the cameraphone game. Here's the full list of participants (in no particular order).
