Camspeed, benchmarking your Windows Phone 8 camera

E'er wonder how fast your Windows Phone 8 photographic camera is? CamSpeed is a Windows Phone app that will put your Windows Phone 8 camera through a battery of tests and tell you simply that. CamSpeed also taps into the Sofica benchmarking database non simply to publish your results but as well to pull numbers from other devices for comparing.CamSpeed doesn't test your photographic camera's prototype quality but rather the speed it launches, focuses, and captures images.

CamSpeed will maintain a history of your tests and permit you share your results on Twitter. CamSpeed isn't going to appeal to everyone but if you're looking for a simple mode to test your camera's speed, CamSpeed should fit the bill.

The user interface for CamSpeed is fairly elementary. You take a Test Page to first the camera examination, a History Folio to view your testing history, and a Compare Page to prove how your camera measures up.

To test your Windows Telephone 8 camera just hold it steady, focusing on one bespeak and tap the test push. CamSpeed volition exam the speed of opening the camera, focusing, capture speed with and without the flash, and endmost the photographic camera. The examination takes just a few seconds and when all is said and done you'll get a test summary report that shows your ranking, score with/without a flash, test conditions, and photographic camera information.

The test will be added to your History Page and reflected on the Compare Folio based on the lighting atmospheric condition. At that place is a "Compare On" push button that will pull upward all the benchmark tests that can be switched from depression, normal and bright light test results. Again,CamSpeed does non grade the cameras on image quality.

We had interesting results in testing CamSpeed with the Nokia Lumia 920 and HTC 8X. Speed wise, the 8X performed better than the 920. Depression light testing had the 8X scoring a 346 while the Lumia 920 scored a 255. Normal lighting the Lumia 920 scored a 320 while the 8X scored a 485. Unfortunately it was a rainy, clouded day so the vivid light test was not possible.

How does that compare to other devices? Normal light tests show the Sony C6603 tops with a score of 1090. The LG Nexus 4 takes the top spot in low light tests with a score of 852.

Again, CamSpeed isn't going to appeal to everyone but if you're curious how your photographic camera performs speed wise it's worth checking out. CamSpeed is a gratuitous app for your Windows 8 device and you can find it here in the Windows Telephone Store.
