i8510 camera test: Flash & Night photo samples

Briggs — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 00:52:24 +0000

Forum user Bigus has kindly taken a few more Samsung i8510 photo samples, this time indoors with the flash on and later with the flash off. As you can see the flash has quite an effect at close range.

Finally a night time shot. I think for night shots the camera needs to be held very still due to longer exposure times, much like an camera. The original photos can be viewed in the forum thread -> http://samsungi8510.com/forum/some-quick-photos-t18.html

Review: 4.5 out of 5 for Samsung i8510 Innov8

Briggs — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 13:34:21 +0000

Know your mobile have given the Samsung i8510 Innov8 an impressive 4.5 out of 5 rating. Their only negatives were the fact the phone is quite large and the optical joystick was over sensitive. Otherwise they commented that the 8 mega pixel camera was comparable to a standalone compact camera.

For starters, there’s an eight-megapixel camera. This is controlled by a switch on the top, like on the LG Viewty. You can toggle between camera, video camera and gallery really quickly. It’s not just the resolution of the camera that beats the likes of Sony Ericsson (its 8-megapixel snapper is due out in September too) and Nokia (rumours suggest a December launch of a higher resolution device), but the capabilities the snapper has are comparable to a standalone compact camera.
