Review by mobile-review.com with sample photos

Here is a good review by mobile-review.com with some sample photos taken by the SGH-D500C.

Comments on the Photos: (The links to these photos are to the  mobile-review.com website)

- In the photo of garage in complete dark, the wall of the garage is very noisy and there are horizontal streaks of noise patterns across the photo.

- In the photo of flowers in a room, the top right side of photo appears over-exposed due to high dynamic range and the leaves become blurred when they are further away from the camera.

Comparison with Sharp GX30 photos on mobile-review website:  GX30 photo    D500C photo
- The D500C photo is more noisy under the dim conditions. Also, it seems that GX30 has better color fidelity than D500C under dim lgithing conditions. The color of brown table looks more accurate in GX30 photo than D500C one.

Comparison with Sony Ericsson S700i photos on mobile -review website:

- Sample 1 : SE S700i photo    D500C photo
S700i photo has blue cast while D500C photo protrayed the colors more accurately. The blue cast can be easily removed by using the 'cloudy' setting on S700i. See the pictures of Hindu Temple on the S700i page for some examples.

- Sample 2 : SE S700i photo    D500C photo
S700i photo has blue fringes around the branches of the trees. The blue fringes can  be removed by setting the camera to 'cloudy' setting too. The facade of the building looks too exposed in the D500C photo.

- Sample 3 : SE S700i photo    D500C photo
The SE S700i photo is sharper than the one by D500C. Look at the zoom-ins below.

In this zoom-in, the details in the window are sharper for the S700i compared to the D500C.

Here, the cartoon on the window is also sharper for S700i compared to D500C. For example, the black line between the 2 yellow rings is more distinct for S700i compared to the D500C zoom-in.

Zoom-in into S700i Photo

Comparing the 2 zoom-ins above, the black edges between the bricks are about 2 pixels wide for the S700i and 3 pixels wide for the D500C. This means that the resolution along each dimension is reduced by 2/3 for the D500C photo. The effective resolution is reduced by 4/9 for the D500C photo. Thus for a 1280 x 1024 D500C photo, its effective resolution is actually 569 x 455.

- Sample 4 : SE S700i photo    D500C photo
Not fair to compare between these 2 sample photos because the S700i picture is blurred due to user's hand motion.
