Nokia N73 Review - ThinkCamera
ThinkCamera put the Nokia N73 head to head with the Fujifilm F20 digital camera, and finds, "It will come as no surprise that on every test we could come up with the Fujifilm F20 produced a better image that the Nokia N73. But in the end you could say this doesn't matter at all - I stopped comparing the images because on 20” widescreen monitors the F20 image was always better. Usually a lot better. Instead I tried a different test - I took a snap with the N73 and took the phone straight in to a high street lab. They looked very dubious when I asked them to print a 10X8 from the Mini-SD card. An hour later I popped back and the lab staff were amazed - it had actually produced a very nice print. 10X8 inches is really pushing it for a 3MP camera - it's below 200 ppi which is where I reckon you want to be for a decent continuous tone print. ... I left it lying around the studio for a week and showed it to everyone who came round. The usual response was “nice picture”. Nobody guessed that it was taken with a phone or commented that it was a low quality picture. In fact, many of the image quality issues are to do with jpeg compression rather than poor quality capture."
