Hi as i wished to know wich one is the best for now i realized this comparition, it is not the best one but it will give us an idea on what cam is better for now in my own opinion the best now is DARKMAGICIAN because of the compresion JPEG and the sharppnes this setting are the highest of all camdrivers.

Here you have two pics with all of these drivers

if anyone wants to make his own comparition please post in here edit this post and add the pics just to make it more clear

A-> Original
B-> Raiderski
C-> Darkmagician
D-> Rippi

there will be no more upgrades in my code, so you can eliminate it from further comparisions anyway I have some conclusions...

1. 3rd pic in Macro doesn't fit to other. I don't think it can be compared with other

2. sharpness is very interesting thing. although I and Rippi used max sharpness value, result is not any better than in original driver. Darkmagician used value 06 (max is 08) and sharpness looks much better. hmm, why lower sharpness value gave better result than higher value? is 08 reserved only for 'document' scene? is real max value lower than 08? 07? 06? questions for C905 modders

3. compression, I disagree. file size cannot be considered only as quivalent of compression ratio. quality in your shots:

auto: 90%, 92%, 91%, 92%
macro: 90%, 92%, 93%, 92%

as you can see, we are talking about minor variations in quality. in fact it's not even worth to mention about compression

thanks for comparision! this sharpness thing is really interesting

Darkmagician's sharpness setting is the prime, but each auto pic smudged/rude in full size (see grass and fine details). 8 MPixel is too much for this phone senzor. Mighty works are not.

first I want to thank you eltoffer for you test ^_^

there will be no more upgrades in my code, so you can eliminate it from further comparisions

that means we will see you in C905 modd one day as you alrady said that
you couldnt modd the K800 camera driver when they asked you ( you were using the w800 that time ) and now your k800 camera driver is one of the best camera driver in all the word ^_^

sharpness is very interesting thing. although I and Rippi used max sharpness value, result is not any better than in original driver. Darkmagician used value 06 (max is 08) and sharpness looks much better. hmm, why lower sharpness value gave better result than higher value? is 08 reserved only for 'document' scene? is real max value lower than 08? 07? 06? questions for C905 modders

from my test on C905 I found that
#COM_EVENT(56,XX);
is not the only thing which control the sharpness
jpeg compress (to be exact what comes in compressing line code ) do that as will
if you compair between my driver in 8MP high vs 8MP low compress you'll see deferent in the sharpness and even the color

in my modded camera driver I set the sharpness to 06 because 08 is over sharpness and sometims it gives horrible effects when you see it in fill size

see the examples :




but each auto pic smudged/rude in full size (see grass and fine details). 8 MPixel is too much for this phone senzor. Mighty works are not.

that because of the noise reducer and it is FW issue

I read the comparisons. And i am moved by the pics. Is your drive compatible with k850i ? I want to test it. If yes, please send the link to download it. Thank you
