Battle of the Lofi Digi Cams

The three most important Lofi Digi Cams in the world are the Gameboy Camera, the Casio WQV-1 (the first watch with a built-in camera for the mass market) and its color enabled sequel, the Casio WQV-10.

Technical facts overview:


 resolution in pixels color depth native data format
Gameboy Camera 128x112 2 Bit (4 shades of grey) binary format°
Casio WQV-1 120x120 4 Bit (16 shades of grey) uncompressed bitmap or JPEG/JFIF
Casio WQV-10 176x144 24 Bit (16,7 million colors) JPEG/JFIF

With the huge archives of Olia Lialina and Dragan Espenschied it was possible to compile image sets that allow a comparison of the cameras. Use the following IFrame to compare yourself and see the results:

*Achtung:* The image sets always show exactly the same object, captured with the three cameras. (With one exception.) The features of the different devices were used but the data has not been modified after.

New images for the battle are always accepted.
