the image quality is just disgusting
they call it a camera while even a cellphone can take MUCH better shots
this one’s been taken by Nokia 808 @40Mp

?nd this one @3Mp

way better than 16Mp “Camera” which takes shots like thisone

don’t understand how this gets great review for IQ but the 770EXR which shares same sensor gets ripped for its poor IQ??????? PB whats up with that?

I’m a long time reader of this website and I feel compelled to make my first comment. I’ve noticed that many of the reviews over the last year or so and particularly the scores just don’t make any sense. Are you afraid of upsetting the manufactures? Afraid of NOT getting “hands on” invitations and afraid of them not supplying review samples if you give them an honest score?
To give this camera a 4 for IQ is just staggering. Not quite as staggering as the blatant favouritism shown in reviews to Canon & Nikon cameras. I’m afraid I can’t take this website seriously any more as I just don’t trust the reviews as you are deceiving your readers with blatant inaccurate write-ups and scores.

Hi guys,
thought I’d pop on and explain how I go through the rating process. First though, I didn’t review the 770 which is why it got two different conclusions.
I look at a camera on a number of levels when rating it. When it comes to image quality, it’s not a simple case of looking at the picture and considering if it looks nice, I look at colour reproduction, noise reduction consequences, exposure, contrast, sharpness and white-balance accuracy. Most important I look at the cost of the camera. I consider how the person buying this camera will view the pictures. Will they be bothered about pixel peeping? Probably not. Do they know what IQ is? Unlikely. Some will, most won’t.
Apart from the flatness of the colour, I thought the pictures looked ok. Certainly no worse than other cameras at the same price point, better than ones cheaper and not as good as more expensive models.
You have to realise this isn’t a DSLR and I won’t test it under the same conditions. It’s going to have noise because it’s a small sensor but that’s because people still want more pixels. The only reason the pixel war ended was because there was no more space on the sensor. ;O)
I take all this into consideration when rating a camera. Other comments elsewhere on the site have accused me of being paid by the manufacturers and that’s pretty hurtful. No-one has said it here which is good but I want to make it clear. I have never and will never take any kind of payment for a favourable review.
I hope that helps. :O)
Ps, Idan, I think that’s a plane. The pictures were taken moments apart and it’s not present on subsequent pictures.
