I wonder if the video editors on The Titanic ever went, "Sorry, I can't right now. I'm busy synching the Titanic..."

Nope, I got 1/10 so I guess I'm not qualified to take photos with a smartphone...

...ha ha! I actually got 0 out of ten! Noone can get worse than that! :(

I retook the test a minute later and picked the opposite image to what I picked first time, and I still only got 8 out of ten!

I define the word dunce!!!

i got 4/10 :(. but with that said, the comparisons were not fair. i was expecting the images to be the same scene or subject but comparing a landscape to a salt shaker is just not right. and the size of the images are too small

^^^ This ^^^

I got 5 of 10 but quickly lost interest in trying.

I don't have the phone they are advertising, but I do have an HTC 5 meg picture phone. It STINKS at pictures. Always very soft in focus and saturation.

Buy a phone for phone calls and buy a camera for picture taking.


It's my life and I'll get pissed if I want to.

They didn't even do an apples to oranges comparison, much less apples to apple :| Hmmm...let's put a macro next to a panorama and call that a useful comparison...<facepalm>

Got 7 out of 7 and then quit. For me it was the dof that gave it away or blown highlights on a couple. For average snap shots, a camera phone does just fine. I was one of the big critics of phones with cameras... But now I am glad the two have merged. For snap shot type stuff most are more than capable of doing the job.

I got them all right, but it lied to me and said I got 8/10.

They're all terrible!


That's the real problem I have with it. None of those photos are good enough for the average hobby-ist tog to be happy enough to publish anywhere.

Also, very few of the images utilise or show off the many significant advantages that a SLR camera has.

But... Did you expect anything more from an advertising campaign for a smart phone?

9/10 looking at them on my iPad. Pretty easy to spot, despite the pictures all being pretty bad as others have mentioned.
