2mpix vs 2mpix aka Sony Cyber-shot DSC-U20 vs Sharp 902SH
Few weeks ago I got myself my ‘dream’ phone, Sharp 902SH. More about the phone maybe later but for now I’ll just concentrate on the camera functions of this unit. This phone comes with a 2mpix camera with the LED light and 2x optical zoom. Since I already have a 2megapix camera, my Cyber-shot U20 (more about it here ) it should be easy to compare shots taken with both of those cameras.
Warning: none of those pictures has been edited or resized in any way. The only thing I did was rotated the pictures taken with the phone so you don’t have to tilt your head to look at them. So anyways.. The pictures are in the original size so they may be a little bit on the bigger side.. About 100-500k each.
If you see a black thumbnail, don’t worry.. Just click on it.. The picture is there.. It just seems like the image script doesn’t really like the rotated pictures.. 
So now to the pictures.
Outside shots with the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-U20
Now the same pictures (more or less) but this time with the Sharp 902SH
I must say the pictures taken with the REAL digital camera look better. To me anyways.. You don’t have to aggree.. ;p
Now few interesting inside shots.. Sony once again goes first
Now Sharp
Now this is interesting.. All 4 pictures were taken in almost exactly the same conditions.. They were taken maybe 2 minutes apart so it’s not like the lighting went all wonky there.. The first pictures were taken without any flash or light. As you can see Sharp had no problems in making the picture usable, while the picture from the Sony camera came out a little bit too dark for my taste. The second shots were taken with flash (Sony) and the LED light (Sharp) turned on. In this ‘test’ Sony literally shines.. 
Conclusion:
Well.. The camera on my phone will not replace my Canon A80 that’s for sure.. But in the situations where the Canon is too bulky to carry around (like at the arcade or something) I think I’ll be using my cellphone more often than the Sony camera.. The phone seems to take better pictures in situations where the lighting is not perfect. But it suffers when it comes in taking pictures where flash is available.. So I guess I’ll carry the Cyber-shot in my backpack as a backup for the phone..
Here’s some random pictures taken with the phone while I was playing with it.
So yesterday I’ve decided to get the new Harry Potter book at the midnight sale. I’ve stayed at the arcade til 11:30ish and then headed down to the Eaton Center to get the book. The line up wasn’t too big, maybe 100-150 people.. They had about 6 registers open so I got the book in maybe 15min after they started selling it.
