Assignment #81: Good light, bad camera

[Nikolai]

You think #80 was complicated? :wink Wait till you get your hands onto this one :rofl
This time your task is to find/arrange for a really good lighting and take a picture with both your good camera (dslr?) and some really cheap, auto-everything P&S (or even a cell phone). The idea is to try and see how much a god light can improve the crappy light-capturing capabilities of those tiny devices.
Your entry should contain minimum two images, one from each device, taken, hopefully, within seconds of each other, both SOOC. Please also include a brief project description and some specs on each device.
For bonus points you may add post-processed versions, so we could see how well each image responds to additional treatment.
Fresh pictures, minimal post-processing for the mandatory two frames, go have a ball with the bonus versions.
Multiple entries are OK provided they are showing totally different subject and under different lighting conditions.
Let's try to capture a good light with a bad camera!

Hi,
Well, i guess i have to be the first to post this assignment (also my first assignment post, hope that i'm doing it ok :rolleyes), so there it goes. Both photos were taken with the most similar conditions that it was possible (i think).
Some PP to do a little crop, to match sizes, and also some color correction

#1 - taken with my cell phone SonyEricson V630i (2Mp Cybershot camera)

Do you mind posting 100% crop of the upper-right portion of the building, where the tower hits the sky? TIA!:thumb

I have been wanting to get some close ups of this old fire truck for a while now so I figured it might be good for this assignment. Both pictures are straight off the camera except for a little straightening and cropping. Oh and the RAW conversion for the good camera.
