Right because comparing a dedicated CAMERA to a CAMERA PHONE is the same as comparing CAMERA PHONE to CAMER PHONE...You are real smart I must say...
No, what he is saying is megapixels don't matter. Just go to any of the camera forums or talk to anyone knowledgeable about cameras.
It is all about the sensor size. The higher the megapixel in the same size sensor as a lower mp camera will yield more artifacts, noise, and lower ISO performance. More megapixel does not mean it is better.
I have about 6 cameras. My 14 megapixel point-n-shoot with a sensor the size of a match-stick will never compete with a 10megapixel camera with a SENSOR 1/2 the size of a postage stamp. Both will lose to a 8 megapixel camera a SENSOR w/ the size of a full 35mm frame.
I don't know the sensor size of either cell phone so it is hard for me to compare. But I've seen photos of the EVO and I've examine the photos from my Droid Incredible, the EXIF data is very inconclusive. You don't know shutter/f-stop because it is not recorded. I also notice severely blown highlights, over-saturation, an intense color-curve. If you put the files in Photoshop, you can examine the quality of the image by pixel-peeping.
Just by looking at the iPhone 4 sample in Photoshop (un-retouched), the EXIF data of the one of the black guy on the beach is very good for a cell phone. It shot the image at an ISO of 80.
F-stop @
2.8 and a 1/887 exposure. Note the f-stop people.. Take Note the f-stop. The ticker doesn't lie. A Camera with a wider aperture will have better low-light performance. I am surprised at that.
With the bright sky and sand, the image tells me one thing for sure.... The camera engine/sofware has a sophisticated light meter for a cell phone. And this is something that can't be made up because you can reproduce it on a different camera w/ the same settings in the EXIF data.
