How it’s done: Smartphone Rig – comparing Nokia Lumia 928 with iPhone, SGSIV etc

Here’s an interesting video on how microsoft went about comparing the Nokia Lumia 928 against the competition’s camera.

They made a rig so that the phones are pretty much in a similar position and made sure that the cameras are pressed at the same time.

Hopefully, when taking photos with flash or focus assist light, they aren’t firing at the same time as light coming from one source may affect another camera (either negatively or positively, either way it’s not a fair test).

Interestingly, MS says the shots were so convincing from their comparison that they used them in their current campaign.

Unfortunately, they didn’t pick the one that really showed off the 928 the best.

This is what they chose

They had better samples like this. You know, where there isn’t any neon lights which some might want to show up more clearly in a darker pic.

Also, the Nokia Lumia 928 has a freaking XENON Flash.

Do I need to repeat it one more time?

The Nokia Lumia 928 would have been amazing at both low light without flash and possibly low light WITH flash, freezing the moment like the N82, N8, 808 and most recently the Nokia Lumia 1020.
