In the mobile camera world we've pitted the ZN5 against the Nokia 6220 Classic and here's what the verdict is.

Gadget Wars: MOTOZINE ZN5 Vs Nokia 6220 Classic


Macro
This round was quite tricky. Both cameras fared quite well. The ZN5 managed to retain a relatively decent amount of focus from a really close distance and the colors seemed to be better too in most conditions. Outdoors however, the reds were once again evident but the stability of focus was still evident from close range and the level of detail was quite good.

The stability of the lens in the Nokia’s 6220 didn’t do too well in indoor conditions, although I have to admit the colors weren’t too bad. In daylight outdoor conditions, the colors did look better but again a little burnt in certain places. Plus the distance between the subject and the lens was a lot further than with the ZN5.

So the ZN5 takes this one.

Flash
My last test was in a more controlled environment. I took a few close ups of my subject in a pitch black room with just macro mode and the flash activated.

Once again both lenses fared well enough. The slight reddish tinge was still visible in the ZN5’s reproduction but the blacks once again looked good. The sharpness in the details were visible on close inspection too.

The Nokia too fared quite well with the subject being more evident in the frame. The Blue base was clear. Although the subject was lit well enough the details could have been a little better.

That’s another one for the Motorola.

The Bottom Line
There are plenty of reasons that include the handsets' features and design that I’m sure you’ll take into account when deciding whether or not either of these handsets are worth your money. But like I said, this is all about the camera ‘angle’ (excuse the pun) and just that.

And the Winner is ….
The MOTOZINE ZN5! Although it was close in some portions on the whole, the ZN5 is a little better than the Nokia.

In the case of the Motorola ZN5 camera versus the Nokia 6220 Classic camera, this jury finds in favor of the Motorola ZN5.
