Droid vs iPhone 3GS — a Camera Shootout
Sure the Motorola Droid has a 5 megapixel camera over the 3 megapixel sensor used by the iPhone 3GS. But as most all of us know, size doesn’t matter. Put another way: more megapixels doesn’t necessarily mean a better still picture. Andy Ihnatko took aim at the Droid with his review and comparison at the Sun Times, but he also has a Flickr photo set to compare output from the two cameras.
After looking at his test set, most of the iPhone photos look better to me in most cases. Of course, that’s subjective, so you should peep with your own eyes to see the difference. It looks like the advanced software camera features of the iPhone are helping to take better shots thanks to focus and exposure functions. Of course, the Droid could gain similar functionality through a software update in the future. If video is more your thing, then I’d say the Droid wins by a hair. Based on video output I’ve seen, the 720 x 480 output looks a tad better to my four eyes.
I somewhat disagree with Andy’s assessment. Here’s my take on teh Droid camera: http://tnkgrl.wordpress.com/2009/11/06/motorola-droid-camera/
I am a Verizon customer, I want the IPHONE but hate as many others, ATT’s poor service. If Verizon sold the IPHONE, first they would bring the ATT customers back, and then they would take the market. Its so simple focus on the problem.
I have Verizon and I am switching to AT&T because it gets way better service in my area and has better costumer service.
Droid camera is better. u mad?
Droid camera is not better- 10 years to start 2 to focus and another 5 after taking the pic :c I like the phone but not the camera.
