We present an effective method for comparing subjective audiovisual quality and the features related to the quality
changes of different video cameras. Both quantitative estimation of overall quality and qualitative description of critical
quality features are achieved by the method. The aim was to combine two image quality evaluation methods, the
quantitative Absolute Category Rating (ACR) method with hidden reference removal and the qualitative Interpretation-
Based Quality (IBQ) method in order to see how they complement each other in audiovisual quality estimation tasks. 26
observers estimated the audiovisual quality of six different cameras, mainly mobile phone video cameras. In order to
achieve an efficient subjective estimation of audiovisual quality, only two contents with different quality requirements
were recorded with each camera. The results show that the subjectively important quality features were more related to
the overall estimations of cameras' visual video quality than to the features related to sound. The data demonstrated two
significant quality dimensions related to visual quality: darkness and sharpness. We conclude that the qualitative
methodology can complement quantitative quality estimations also with audiovisual material. The IBQ approach is
valuable especially, when the induced quality changes are multidimensional.
