In fact you don't see professional DLSR with much superior HD recording that any phone in the market having flash during video because they all use Xenon flash. You can only do light in video recording if you're using LED flash which we all know is not as powerful as Xenon"
I KNOW THAT !! My point is that why it doent have a LED flash along with Xenon flash. Other 12 MP camera phones i.e. SE Satio and Samsung Pixon 12 have both Xenon and LED...
"Second, yes the N8 can take panaroma shots and panaroma isn't a hardware problem, its mostly in the software and there's already an app to do it"
Again I know that too. But it isnt offered out of the box, is it? How does it feel to open an app everytime take panaroma shots ???
If ur talking about apps, then there are many apps in android which has options like - Tilt camera, quad camera, Mix camera, Action Camera, etc....

AnonD-291, 06 Feb 2011"no need to. the n8 has good low light video recording... more"Its no substitute for LED flash. It cannot take videos in darkness or extreme conditions where LED flash becomes inevitable."
yeah, but how far can LED go? 10m, 20m? more like 2m max if you ask me. LED is not good for recording unless there is four LEDS working together, and thats a minimum. recording in total darkness IN NOT LOW LIGHT RECORDING! IS JUST A SHOW OF STUPIDITY AND USELESS.
"No... not out of the box"
well you just asked :
"can it take panaroma shots"
and i said
"yeah".
"If u cant zoom far then why put zoom feature... Optical zoom is much better... Even phones with VGA camera have digital zooming...even 4x..."
it can zoom to up 15-20m from where i'm standing now, which is not far but it does not degrade the quality of the pic, thats the whole point. btw the basic rule of mobile photography is never to zoom unless necessary, in case u dont know.
"yes, with a mod that is easily available on9. it is also rumored to be included with upcoming software updates"
"Again it isnt offered out of the box..... If ur talking about mods then there can be many features in android phones like - Tilt camera, quad camera, Mix camera, Action Camera, etc...."
again you asked
"does it have continuous auto focus"
and i answered
"yes, with a mod that is easily available on9. it is also rumored to be included with upcoming software updates."
so be specific next time. i dont know what ur actually thinking every time you know

No... not out of the box....

Third the camera interface may seem antiquated, but it has a ton of options, options you wouldn't see in the majority of phones.

please check out this link
http://www.nokiausers.net/forum/nokia-n8/39462-i-think-nokia-using-two-different-types-screen-n8-maybe-c7.html
nokia n8 now seems to be shipping with a screen that cant display a gradient of colours properley and some shades between black to white are clearly showing as purple
its not just that but the screens dont display colours as good as the n8s without the purple tint
i have a nokia n8 and love it but had to get a replacement the other day due to me breaking mine and ive now got this purple tint , my girlfriends n8 and my old one from launch had perfect screens and are running same firmware yet this new one has a purple tint
ive even taken it back and swapped it for another and again it had a purple tint to the screen
would love to know why two phones from the same place running the same firmware could have two such different screens
please have a read of the thread i linked for pictures etc
