Re: HTC finally got the camera right
I think people parrot what phone reviewers say too often. When the M8 came out, users were thrilled with the cam and the pics in the M8 thread on here were killing the user contributions in the equivalent Samsung thread. However, several reviewers panned the M8's dual cam and praised the Samsung so people adopted that as the truth.
Now, every reviewer is saying HTC "finally got it right", and the users are going with it even though there's no comparisons for us to view (let alone real-world user experience). I've said it before; phone journalists are some of the last people you should trust when it comes to photo and audio evaluations. I saw a review last night in which one reviewer called the treble speaker the "twitter"... *sigh*
DxO is another beast entirely but I personally haven't found their ratings to reflect real-world application and satisfaction.
