Nokia 808 PureView vs 13MP Sony Xperia T
I saw Marc tweet his comparison between the Nokia 808 PureView and Sony Xperia T (13MP) this morning but I’ve been in the hospital all day (on placement) so I didn’t get to write about it then. I actually would have forgotten too so cheers also to zymo for the heads up!

Commentary at
Although the source name might suggest bias to the 808, it’s not. Quite rightly, Marc says “ superiority of the Nokia 808 PureView is evident.”
The 808 is in the oversampling PureView mode (not hyperdetail 38mp mode).
I prefer the colours from the 808 as well as the clarity and level of pleasing natural bokeh. Some great stuff from Sony too though – long time rivals of Nokia in the mobile imaging space (as Sony Ericsson).
Cheers Marc, Zymo and miki69 for the tip!

saw this in the morning as well (last night for me) and the sony is pretty impressive too bad its 2 years too late
What IS happening to Sony? :/ Outpaced by Samsung :/
yeah im quite surprised at how samsung has effectively done away with sony not only in the mobile market but the television as well
both good sony an Nokia in camera..but i more like nokia…
No contest.. those 1.1 micron pixels, take away the light, and noise pours in. BSI has a long way to go, until it can bring something real in terms of quality. Right now they are just using it to aid the “megapixel war” which started a decade ago..
How so ?
You can’t keep bringing the megapixel count up, and at the same time keep the sensor sizes the same, without having to deal with smaller pixels.. the only way to do that, is to use BSI. FSI has issues with getting the light to the silicon with pixels under 1.4 microns (the light still has to travel trough metal before reaching the silicon), and the image quality suffers.
So.. they are using BSI to bump up the megapixel count.
Totally agree with you guys.
Sony need to give up on “industry smallest” 1.12microns pixel size sensors.Even N86 from 2009 has 1.75 microns. That’s the key. With larger sensor (physical dimension), larger photon size… you will get far less blurry images due to camera shake especially in low light. With small sensor even a tiny shake is a disaster.
Bumping aperture value (f) is just not good enough, as it means you have more photo-sensitive cells (silicon), but still very small sensor pixel size – it’s kinda contradiction: on one side you want more light sensitive cells (to collect more light), on the other you have smaller pixel size (preventing you from collecting more light)……
Cheers,
