This is one compariosn which caught fancy of many when Samsung has announced the “Samsung galaxy Camera” reportedly based on Galaxy SIII. Now CJ at “Unleash the phones” have done a comparison of Samsung Galaxy Camera with 808 PureView and posted many pictures and even a video shot by both the devices. First some impressions and conclusion from him,
- Galaxy Camera had a lot of trouble focusing when fully zoomed in, compared to the PureView. Ofcourse this is early software on the Galaxy Camera but it’s worth noting. It zooms in a lot further than the PureView does, but it’s also a lot rougher and slower to zoom in compared to the PureView, which makes it generally feel clunkier.
- Samsung Android UI is nice, and while it doesnt let you tinker with the camera’s settings as much as the PureView does (suprisingly) there’s fun stuff like onboard filters that you can use.
- Camera quality is okay, though overall operation is a little slow, even compared to the PureView which only has a single core vs the quad core on the Galaxy Cam.
- Sharing images is easier on the Galaxy Camera because of Android’s nice implementation in the gallery, while on the PureView you’re somewhat limited to Facebook and Flickr from the gallery, but obviously there are ways to get your pictures off your camera if you really want to.
CJ further says, still the PureView is the best camera phone you can get right now, because it is. The Galaxy Camera is nice and all, but for the price you could get an actual camera with way better specs instead of opting for this one, which you have to admit, has okay/average results at best. If you choose a PureView, you probably want a slim (ish) phone that is always there with you, that you can take out and take a picture of your friends any time, any where.With the Galaxy camera, you still have a bulky camera, that is another accessory to carry along with your phone.
Our opinion:
Some of our readers have asked for our view regarding this image quality comparison. Our opinion is that in image quality of 808 PureView is slightly better than Samsung galaxy Camera. It has got much better level of details thanks to PureView technology. There you go then. 808 PureView still rules the roost being solid smartphone, awesome camera with lossless zoom and DSLR level image quality and with amazing portability.
