Nokia’s second generation Extended Depth of Field (EDoF) camera was recently put through the wringer by the folks at All About Symbian, and for a technology that traditionally fails at macro shots, we’re happy to see that the engineers in Espoo have made dramatic advances with this second go-around. Using the same lens and sensor as before, we’re told the improvements come from a refined image processor alone. In a side-by-side comparison, this business was card snapped from 12-inches (30cm) away, first with a C7 and then a 701. While the new setup isn’t perfect, the difference is certainly appreciable. Of course, Nokia has all but ditched EDoF in its high end smartphones — as evidenced by our reviews of the N9 and Lumia 800 — but the technology remains very much alive within its lower-end affairs, and really, who doesn’t like to see improvement? For a complete breakdown of the new technology, be sure to hit up the source link below.
