Posted by When we say that megapixel count is not the only yardstick for measuring cameras, we mean it. While megapixel count affects image resolution, there are other factors that affect overall image quality. The photo below was shot minutes ago with a 5 megapixel camera:
And just so you can see how good the camera is, here is a crop of the photo:
Impressive; right? We are looking at photo quality that beats what some 8 and 13 megapixel cameraphones produce.
Now tell me, what smartphone do you think shot this photo? Hint: it is in the $100-$160 (N20,000 to N30,000) price bracket.
Update 17th March 2015: Here’s the answer: the photo was shot with a Microsoft Lumia 535. Superb 5 megapixel camera!

I’m guessing team members are out of this game right?
You’re guessing? You want to come and spoil market. please, return to your desk. *side eye*
I go the way of Lumia 535. I have not felt one in my hand but have heard about it.
Mr mo I own one sir, that’s why.
Lumia 535 dual Sim
Well then, Mr Mo? What is the answer?
I’d say the Lumia 535 as well. people should know that the number of megapixels isn’t the only or greatest factor in determining picture quality. Apple have proven this time and time again
H3 should tell us the answer
Guys, I have updated the post with the name and a photo of the device 😉
Impressive camera for the price
Wow so those who mentioned lumia 535 were on point.
