David, 21 Jun 2010Are these private photos taken with a Nokia N82 5MP in 2007... moreOf course Nokia will win again, they buy those awards how else do you explain the N86 winning it before it was released.

The other phone's have been released so there are samples available.

The N8 hasn't been released so the only samples are supplied by Nokia marketing.

Wake up Olli Pekkahead has you N-sheep hypnotised.

Maybe at the end of the year we can see some user shots.

The iPhone 4 will be out in 3 days.

    I can not believe that having reviewed Samsung Wave and Galaxy S you dare to say this video is better than the ones the others record...unbelivable....

    The video is choppy (24fps or less I guess) while Wave records 29, fps...just search youtube and you´ll find docens of HD videos taken with Wave with far better quality....

                Or do you suggest that Nokia winning the worlds most prestigious photography TIPA award for best Mobile Imaging Device in 3 years in row with N95, N82, N86 and probably the N8 next is also Nokia marketing department?

                Get your head out of your ass. Iphone camera is not good and you know it.

                    akash from nepal, 21 Jun 2010not impressive like nokia n8 camera samplesThe one's provided by Nokia's marketing department?

                    Well in a few days the testers here at GSM Arena should be able to settle this when they get their hands on one.

                    Then we can see the rubber ducky again.

                          Why he never record video at places that have some noise like moving vehicles, people talking...etc.
                          This sample does not show how good is the sound recorded.
                          It also didn't show if there is a voice and video not sync problem.
                          The video have the choppy effect.

                          The still shot is not as impressive as it should be.
                          Its over processed. A lot of details are losss..
                          Its not even close to LG KU990 Viewty level.

                              why not compare with N8? We are comparing phones people want to buy soon, not looking for a winner of a competition.

                              Believe it or not some people actually want to see which phone they want to buy not just big up their favorite brand - stop with all this fanboy nonsense!

                                  Now these shots actually look like they came from a proper 5MP camera, not like the official glorified heavily edited and photoshoped photo samples from Apple marketing we saw here on GSMarena a few weeks back, that was probably even taken in the first place with a high resultion SLR cam and not a the iPhone, that was just ridiculous.

                                  The video looks ver choppy for some reason, might be the software, i don't know. And the photos looks kinda colour noisy. Nokia N82 and Motorola ZN5 5MP cams had better quality.

                                        The pics are good but because they were taken in summer sunlight. Why dont apple realise portrait pics in a dark room or of night taken with flash? My previous sony-ericsson C901 with xenon flash took great portrait pic even in deep dark.

                                        Now, the video, is good, but not upto the expectation. Samsung wave can take videos in day light with much more details.

                                        C901 costs only 200$ and Wave only 330$ when iPhone 4 costs 700$

                                        So Apple epic fail.
