Camera Phone Reviews

PCMag reviews the Nokia N73 and writes, "The N73's flagship feature is its 3.2-megapixel camera. Here at PC Magazine Labs, both myself and Terry Sullivan (PC Magazine's digital camera analyst) put the handset through the full set of tests that we do with any digital camera. We found it to be a kind of transition device. By that we mean it's better than any other cameraphone so far (except Nokia's 5MP N95) but not quite able to compete with dedicated digital cameras. ... The N73's shots are uncommonly sharp for a 3MP camera, with 1,100 lines of horizontal resolution and 1,050 lines of vertical. Images were somewhat underexposed, but more worryingly, we saw a color shift in some of our shots—the colors weren't consistent from shot to shot. Low light pictures blew out the highlights a bit. But you have to remember the competition here. Compared with other camera phones, the N73's sharp, high-res shots will be a revelation. But it just doesn't measure up to dedicated digital cameras."
