Samsung i8510 INNOV8 sample images
Here is a bunch of images, all recorded using the Samsung i8510 INNOV8. I post them to as samples of the sort of images you get out the INNOV8.
I have not included samples of every one of the INNOV8’s 13(!) scene modes, just the ones I use the most. I have included both images that turned out good, and some that turned out not so good – to give you some idea of what sort of point ‘n’ click images you can expect from the INNOV8.
This is not a comparison, obviously. If you want to know how the INNOV8 fares when pitched against other current, top notch camera phones, have a look at the “Grand 8 megapixel shootout” at GMSArena.com or Steve Litchfield’s multi-part in-depth camera comparison at All About Symbian. I think Steve has posted something like 8 articles going over basically every conceivable detail regarding phone cameras. For starters, see “Part 5 - the best smartphone camera in the world?” and “Part 8 - The Ultimate Video Smartphone”.
I should also make a note about the lightning conditions, the images in this post were recorded under. The weather in Denmark this time of year mainly falls in one of the following three categories: “Dusky Twilight”; “Pitch-Darkness”; and “Glaring Pale Winter Sun”. None of which can be said to bring the best in images.

Hi Chris,
Been looking through your shots with Innov8.I liked the day ones a lot,but looking throgh the night shots was surprisingly bad i have to say.The pictures look blurry and out of focus,all of them,as if you have not stoped to take the shot and did it while still on the move!What did you think of the night shots Chris?

Actually, I have just been looking at the very same shots, wondering about the blurriness you mention.
I am no photography expert, but I get the feeling the shutter speed is very low. The blurriness is caused by objects moving before the camera has finished taking the picture. I think - maybe someone more knowledgeable can offer more details?

The blurriness is because of the low speed of the shutter in low light environments. Objects are moving while the shutter is opened, so the camera takes the objects in movement. The only way to fix this is using a high ISO level, but it causes very high noise. In this type of cameras you have to be very still while taking the photo to avoid blurriness, but still the objects that are moving (like cars or walkers) will be blurried. This cameras are not intended to low light environments.
The day light photos are beautiful. Vibrant colors, high detail degree and very sharpness.
