I can do really good quality pictures with them, as long as there's enough.

They're pretty bad in low light condition and have also no setting for exposure duration.

Eg: N95 picture with he 5MP (last 3 modified in gimp as the link indicates :p):

So don't compare apples and oranges. Also evident from my N95 review: http://www.osnews.com/story/17837/Review_Nokia_N95/page2/ Wed, 18 Mar 2009 14:35:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Eugenia) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?353679 http://osnews.com/thread?353679 So... might a phone review be expected to mention something about general signal strength and call quality? Just puttin it out there...

the iPhone camera kinda sucks in comparison, being N95 or the phone in question here

edit:

your test picture isnt exactly a very nice area, the luminosity is very bad which is usually making bad pictures with these cameras
your test pictures for your N95 link had a much better light (maybe its also better quality etc, but anyway, i think that's the point Edited 2009-03-19 01:52 UTC Thu, 19 Mar 2009 01:50:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (jimloo) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?353795 http://osnews.com/thread?353795 Believe it or not, I don't control the weather. The two pictures in the two phones, show the sample place. The only thing different was the weather as they were taken years apart.

As for the indoor pictures, the light was not any different. It was just N95's flash being more powerful.Edited 2009-03-19 03:04 UTC Thu, 19 Mar 2009 03:03:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Eugenia) Comments
