When I first heard about the Nokia N86′s powerful imaging capabilities, the first thing I wanted to compare it with was Nokia’s best imaging flagship, the Nokia N82. I had been a fan of the N82′s Xenon flash and great image output for around 2 years, and was ready to move to the next chapter [...]
To further bolster my argument that the Nokia N86 8MP is the single most innovative Nseries handset to hit the market since the N82 and its Xenon flash, the gang at AllAboutSymbian have scored some screenshots showing that this true Nseries flagship will be getting face detection software in a future firmware update. The feature [...]
With the Nokia N82, most fanboys have assumed that Nokia has given up on cameraphones. The Nokia N86 8MP is coming soon, but without a Xenon flash, most of you have said you’ll be holding onto your N82s, despite the updated camera hardware and software on the N86 8MP. Charlie Schick, over at Nokia Conversations, [...]
I’m a big proponent of the Nokia DT-22, specifically the clamp attachment, as it connects to any standard photography tripod and holds my Nokia phones firmly. I’ve often asked Nokia to update this clamp, however, as it was designed for the N93(i), and doesn’t exactly fit the newer, landscape-oriented camera phones as it should. With [...]
The European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) has been handing Nokia its award for the top Media Phone since 2005, when the award was created. Previous winners include the Nokia N90, N93, and N95. This year, however, the award was changed to the Smart Phone award, and Nokia has been pushed off the pedestal. This [...]
Thus far we’ve checked out the hardware, music, and gaming aspects of the LG KT610, but that’s not all there is to this handset. The LG KT610 sports a lowly 2 megapixel camera, without such niceties as autofocus or even a small LED flash. However, this seems to be the bog standard these days, at [...]
Symbian announced today that it had licensed Scalado’s imaging software for use on Symbian-powered handsets, including UIQ and S60. Scalado is a Swedish company that focuses on high-end and mid-level handsets. Improvements include faster rendering and rotation, as well as enhanced image editing features. All this comes with reduced RAM and battery usage, as well, [...]
The Nokia N82 crashed the scene late last year as the top camera phone on the market, with a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, Carl Zeiss optics, and that lovely Xenon flash. However, it isn’t without competition, and there’s been PLENTY of comparison of the video quality against other cameras, both dedicated digital cams and [...]
One of my main complaints over the N82 (and the N73, previously) was that for an imaging device, it would not stand on its own, for taking timed pictures. To me, this seems like such a common sense function, and it has been overlooked. At Nokia World, I had the opportunity to question the N82 [...]
