Daytime
As you see, the quality of color rendering, the sharpness and overall feel stay on a level and it’s hard to find a leader. In some pictures, we see C905 leading by a small margin, in others i8510 does a better work with a more precise focusing and color rendition.
Macro
Both cameras pass this test showing some good results. We weren’t able to spot any color distortion or blurry areas. Samsung i8510 feels easier to handle, C905 at times requiring a bit of time and effort to focus on the scene and catch the object.
Night
The xenon flash mounted on C905 is helpful in improving the photo quality at short range; this is the most important point about nighttime shooting, so C905 is a better option than INNOV8 equipped with a LED flash. At longer ranges, the LED flash proves more efficient than a xenon unit, but that doesn’t play as big a role in general, so it’s always advisable to stick with xenon – because you will always get better close-range portraits, which is the most popular sort of night-time photos, unlike far-range panoramic shooting.
Flash
The advantage of the xenon flash becomes obvious at shorter ranges, the flash power keeping on a level with Nokia N82 and Motorola ZN5. The object you’re aiming at is always perfectly lit at the moment of shooting, though the far background turns out considerably worse. The things go vice versa for i8510: the whole scene is evenly lit, resulting in a better picture of the far objects, but the general photo quality is worse than with C905.
Well, good enough for a prototype.
