I could’ve predicted this result from a mile away. Simple science dictates that the size of the lens in the Canon is much larger than the N93 therefore letting more light in to the diaphragm for maximum amounts of quality. Camera phones have always struggled with low light situations.
Part 2 of my Nokia N93 video shoot out. Comparing the video capabilities of the Canon MV630i DV camcorder to the Nokia N93 Smart Phone. In this post I focus on real world recording in an entirely artificially lit room (totalling about 220 watts) In the daylight tests that I posted a few days ago the Nokia N93 came out the overal winner, in this test the opposite is true, the Canon is much better in artificial light. Anyone who has spent some time with the N93 will already know that it really struggles on low-light – artificial or otherwise. If this is to be a deal-breaker or not, will depend on how often you think that your perfect home video or podcast will depend on being able to pick out detail in low light environments. For me it’s hardly an issue as a quick review of my home iMovies reveals perhaps only twenty or thirty scenes (out of about a thousand!) that were shot in low light.

What you really want to do is watch both videos and analyze the results for yourself.
