Guess the Photo – Which Photo is Taken with Which Camera?

I thought I’d have a bit of fun!

Last time I looked at megapixels and how they really affect our photography.

So I thought this time I’d see if you can tell which photo was taken with which camera?

There are 3 photos below:

  • 1 taken on a 5mp camera phone
  • 1 taken on a very old budget 5mp point and shoot camera
  • 1 taken on a 12mp 450d DSLR camera

Now we have 3 photos taken on 3 different types of camera that all have different sizes and quality of image sensors in them. So if I was to print the images out, then you would know immediately which is which because of the quality and print size (check the megapixels post) of the image.

But when they are on the internet like this and all set at the same size (500 pixels wide), then it levels the playing field a bit and it becomes a lot harder I think to tell the difference.

So take a look below and see if you can guess right – should be fun! Please leave your answers in the comments below…

door

door

I purposely chose images that have had very little post processing, so they’re pretty much out of the camera!

flowers

lighthouse

lighthouse

I look forward to seeing what you think, and I’ll post the answers in the comments soon….

My guess, for that is what is! …
lighthouse taken on the camera phone,
The Flowers was taken with the point and shoot and the Door with the DSLR.

Door = DSLR
Flower = Camera phone
Lighthouse = Point and shoot.
Those are my best guesses, based on colour tone and depth of field.

My amateurish guess
Door- Old budget Camera
Flower -DSRL camera
Light house.- 5 Mp camera

Great experiment! Hard to tell the difference on a monitor. Much easier when you look up the Exif data though, but that would be cheating…

5 Mandy July 3, 2012 at 3:53 pm

Yes James, that would be cheating!!!

6 Tom July 5, 2012 at 12:27 am

Door = DSLR
Flowers = Camera Phone
Lighthouse = point and shoot

I agree with Steve; these are also my guesses:

Door = DSLR
Flower = Camera phone
Lighthouse = Point and shoot

The bokeh of camera phone are so caracteristic, and easily done with “proxy” objects, no doubt the flower is one of them :)

so same as Steeve, Tom and Tammy

Door = DSLR
Flower = Camera phone
Lighthouse = Point and shoot.

Thank you for this fun game

Door = DSLR
Flower = Camera phone
Lighthouse = Point and shoot.

I enjoyed this and I agree with all the others!

Door -> Point and shoot only because it looks like a flash popped
flower -> dslr
Lighthouse -> camera

11 Jared September 23, 2012 at 6:43 pm

I Agree with some of the other posts!
#1 dslr
#2 camera phone
#3 point and shoot

All good shots. Shows that it isn’t always the camera but the person holding the camera that counts!

I think differently… eek. No doubt this means I am wrong

Door = point & shoot
Flower = phone
Lighthouse = DSLR

Door = Point & shoot
Flower = Camera phone
Lighthouse = DSLR.

Hey Mandy,

This is my “guess”
1) Door: DSLR (Canon EOS 450d)

2) Flowers: Camera Phone (Nokia 6700)

3) Lighthouse: Point and Shoot Camera (DS5MP)

All had some post processing using Adobe photoshop CS Windows, Am I close ;)

Hard to tell the difference but my guess would be photo 1 point an shoot, photo 2 DSLR, photo 3 camera phone.

Camera phone for the lighthouse
Point-and-shoot for the flowers
DS LR for the door

18 anonmyous March 5, 2013 at 3:27 am

door-DRSL
flowers-old point and shoot
lighthouse-camera phone

Door – Old Budget Powershoot Camera
Flowers – iphone
