New year camera test ;-)

Why not make it a post in the nseries/N95 group? It seems a worthwhile discussion for the N95/nseries voxgroups/'arena' ;-) Already a couple couple of N95-ish competitive models are annouced and more will be announced on the market. The candybar shaped Samsung G800, 5 MPixel with 3X OPTICAL zoom is a fine example of this.

Another question is are pictures sufficient or do you want video too? GPS? Wifi? Optical zoom? How important is the best picture and how important do you consider the rest. Battery life? Especially since at low Romanian temperatures Li-Ion will have less power. In that respect the Samsung G800 has about 20% less capacity as the N95 classic!

Of course if you want one NOW. You'd have to choose between the N82 and the N95 8GB. Where the N82 is the better camera. The xenon flash is unbeatable and the protective shutter missing on the N95 8GB will collect dust if you are not particular neat with your phone, still its battery capacity is unbeatable. Build quality of the N82 is said to be excellent by well-respected reviewers. If you want zoom, go N93i. It still really rocks, the 3.x Mpixels is not worse than the 5Mpixels. I expect that lowlight sensitivity is probabely even better.

I suggest checking the following camera test links:

-The GSM-arena 5 Mpixel mobile phone shootout (Nokia clear winner)
- Nokia Creative 5Mpixel shootout

And take a look at this:

Nokia Creative photo award for the N95

I'd wait for 6 months if you can. I think there will be a 3x optical zoom Nokia in the near future and perhaps even with WiMax support.

Still concerning the slider. My new warranty replaced N95 classic has no problems with the slider. After a month it is still perfect and trouble free. The previous one clicked...

So? Am I hired?

The proper link to the gsm arena shootout!
