The latest from the field of camera comparison in the on going battle between Nokia N96 and Samsung Innov8 under similar testing conditions is finally in. Well now we have a substantial amount of pictures to compare the picture quality of these beasts, courtesy our friends p@sco who always gets us the latest and that too in amazing style. Simply love the way he brings things up. Well he managed to get his hands on the devices (as for me, I still have to wait for a while to get a heads up from wom ) and took them for a camera comparison giving us great shots by both the Nokia N96 and Samsung Innov8. The results are in and we will declare who the winner is, but for that you will have to scroll all the way to the bottom which in the process will take you through this camera battle.

Well, the pictures speak for themselves and they need no explanation but it is seen that Samsung Innov8 camera gives pictures which reflect the color of the real world thus an effect of realism is well maintained in the quality of the photograph which to some extent is missing in the N96.

The bright daylight both of these devices fared well and equally complemented each other with minor differences but while indoors and in dim light the picture is altogether different with Samsung Innov8 leading ahead clearly.

These pictures were taken after the minor firmware update of the Nokia N96 that came this week which according to our friend improved the quality of the picture by a bit. The Samsung Innov8 had a few downsides but these can be neglected by a casual user but for those cameraholics I will point out that a slight improvement can be made in Dim light and Close mode which rather don’t offer control over flash when set to automatic.

With this level of detailed photography you all can make your own inferences based on what pleases your eyes. As for me the N96 is far behind in terms of picture quality and Samsung Innov8 wins in all regards. Thus, Samsung Innov8 Beats Nokia N96 in the Camera Battle.
