“Have you ever noticed that camera phones are great at capturing spontaneous moments? But not great at capturing them perfectly? They do now. With a 16 Megapixel camera and TWO LED flashes, even a phone can give you professional shots”. pocketnowvideo VIA POCKETNOW This is the audio for this supposed HTC video. I don’t [...]
Happy Halloween folks! If you’re out and about tonight, perhaps in costume, you’ll certainly be wanting to save those memories. A phone won’t do right – you’ll have to bring your camera too. Well… One of the reasons the Nokia N82 has triumphed for so long is it’s undisputed performance in EXTREME low light – [...]
Here’s a comparison set showing the Nokia N8 versus Panasonic TZ-10 versus Samsung i8910 HD versus the Nokia N82. The Panasonic TZ10 is a stonker of a megazoom point and shoot camera. Priced at around £329 on launch, it is one remarkably awesome digital camera. The optical image stabilization is incredible – try shaking it [...]
That’s according to CNET who have done a quick test on the camera comparing with a Fuji Finepix j15ow and iPhone 4.You may have seen engadget’s Nokia N8 versus iPhone 4 camera tests. The one where non full resolution shots are used (hidden away in zip – WHICH btw is the WORST batch of Nokia [...]
Everyone must have heard the rumours of the N82 may finally get a worthy successor. Whilst not commenting directly on any specific rumours, here’s an ode (poem, whatever!) to new camera phone king; the supposed N82 successor, “the Nokia”, celebrating the possible return of dear beloved xenon, maybe higher MP and even high definition video. [...]
Here’s some low light photo conditions with the N900; testing out its flash against the N97 and the king of flash, and over 2 years old (absolutely ancient in tech), the N82. I know I harp on about Xenon, but these set of photos demonstrate yet again why it’s just so good! Real xenon flash [...]
Jussi Makinen joined by Maemo Community guys. The vibe of the Q&A is receptive Nokia is (or attempts to be) towards the community in making a handset. Nokia seems to be pushed to make devices based on what the consumer demands, unlike perhaps some other manufacturer which tells you what you want. It’s great to [...]
The main attraction at BFI was the Nokia N900 and the “Identity” Installation that was powered by the N900. You just type in your message on the N900, and via projector, displays your text across a 42 metre long wall (with 6 projectors). The text themselves are made up from twitter feeds concerning onedotzero. If [...]
James Burland from Nokia Creative has been putting the N86 (from Steve Litchfield) under a few tests. In his latest post, he checks out extreme low light performance using the built in Dual LED flash (which Nokia claims is “70% more powerful than previous Dual LED solutions”), and compares it with: the might Xenon of [...]
[Sidenote: This test was done with pre-release early edition firmware V10.0.009, and not the "final" firmware V10.0.012] Just before we went to see “The Hangover”, we went to the pub for a quick drink. Here were three shots I took with the N97 and the N82 in your average moderate/low lighting pub. Preferably, for a [...]
Nokia and Carl Zeiss have bestowed upon the N86 imaging enhancements beyond just upping the resolution from 5MP to 8MP; wide angle, improved latency, large aperture, better sensor in general all resulting (at least on paper) in improved image quality. As you can see from Rafe’s test, the N86 is superior in all conditions, except [...]
James Burland of Nokia Creative is putting the Nokia N97 (which he helped his work colleague win from the Search for N… contest) through a series of rigorous tests. Notice in the colour shots how much more vibrant the colours are from the N97 than the N95 8GB, particularly the yellows reds and pinks. Also [...]
When the N97 was launched, the 3.5″ 16:9 touchscreen, with S60 5th Edition were two features that I thought would remain unique to Nokia for a little while. I was certain it would be my next phone. But so soon, we saw the Omnia HD (now i8910) from Samsung packing a bigger 3.7″ 16:9 AMOLED [...]
We’ve seen sample pictures from the N97 before, e.g. here and here. But we haven’t really seen it perform under less than optimum conditions, i.e. poor lighting, with people posing in poor lighting – mostly relying on the flash for additional illumination. The following samples from the N97 don’t seem to be using the Dual [...]
This is two separate news but I’m covering them both in this post. Nokia N97 firmware on the N97 The first is the 5800 with N97′s firmware – this means the coveted active widgets that N97 product managers have said would be exclusive to the N97. [via JUSTAMP] New Nokia 5800 to get Capacitive displays? [...]
Nokia N97 vs Samsung Omnia HD vs Sony Ericsson Idou I was all set on the N97 until a three way ruckus broke out with the Omnia HD and Idou both diving in to join the Super-Mobile-Convergence-Device war. Samsung and Sony Ericsson have extremely strong contenders, with: The Omnia HD packing in a most gorgeous [...]
