          Given you have the largest sensor ever in a mobile phone I am expecting the noise to be extremely low especially in low light?

          As mentioned earlier, there are over 300 different parameters to set and tune. Of course, it’s possible to use aggressive noise reduction to reduce noise, but this tends to reduce image detail. The combination of the new Carl Zeiss optics and large image sensor gave us the best platform we’ve ever had to develop and tune image and video quality. We used this to create what we believe is the closest challenge to digital cameras. We know that people want low noise, detail and vibrant (but still true to life) colour. Rather than optimizing for just one of these and compromising one or more of the others we believe we’ve created the best balance of these elements. But we’d love to hear your opinions on this.

          We’re always listening and continuously trying to create even better performance. Generally, while you’ll see a little noise in the images, it’s pretty low. In low light we prioritized detail and fine noise. Many previous products including some very popular ones such as the N86 8MP and N82 offered relatively low noise but this ate into image detail. Now we have lower noise than the N82 but much more detail than both the N86 and N82 in low light. The noise levels in N86 are lower because we were using more noise reduction. In the case of the N8 we’ve reduced noise reduction significantly to maintain more natural detail. We’ve also been able to use the sensitivity to extend the range of the flash to around 4.5m+, depending on shooting conditions.

              [deleted post]You know nothing when discussing a feature that's unavailable in a product.

              that's eternal stupidity

                  N8 Video lacks continuous autofocus and use an
                  Active Hyper Focal Distance system to make
                  sure everything is in focus. That way they lose
                  macro capabilities of the video camera but gain fool-proof focus reliability during videorecording.
                  Just below xenon it has a RED video light,not so useful for videos but guys check youtube there r videos showing video quality of N8 in low light !

                          dave, 09 Sep 2010Yes, you are blind! N8 has xenon for photos AND LED flash ... moreI take my word back sorry it does not have LED flash.
                          Read Nokia interview,

                          There appears to be an LED by the Xenon flash. Can that be used as a video light?

                          The LED next to the xenon flash is optimized for autofocus assistance. It’s amber-red in colour and therefore is not practical for use with video. It also serves as a privacy indicator and tally lamp when shooting video.

                          The N8 uses Xenon flash for stills but why didn’t you include an LED solution for video?

                          To get sufficient illumination from an LED solution over a usable distance today, you need to use dual LED. Current generation single LEDs provide little more than a tick box on a spec sheet. Unfortunately, we simply had insufficient space for Dual LED as well as Xenon, the area around the camera is packed very tightly already.

                          I know some of you will say you’d rather the device was a few mm’s thicker, etc. but it’s very important to balance the design against the functionality, otherwise people will say it’s ugly which will influence its appeal. But we we’re always listening to market feedback and therefore continue to try and develop the perfect solution. But for some, it’s just not possible. In a world of over 6.5 billion people that’s hardly surprising.

                                    Anonymous, 09 Sep 2010It does matter to him because he can see tissues and cells ... moreAnd, in addition to what you have said, 640x360 has better ability to view smaller resolution pictures, for example, how could a picture of 100x100 resolution will look like on a 800x480 3.5in? Smaller, right? You'll end up straining your eyes just to see the details. It could be very annoying. Whereas a 640x360 3.5in screen can view smaller resolution pictures at a very comfortable size. A big resolution picture are no problem either, that's why there is a term called downscaling.

                                    For me 640x360 is enough for a screen size of 3.2 to 4.0 inches diagonal. You know, that's why computer screens don't go, lets say 3000x2000 pixels given the fact that they are bigger in diagonal size, because it's utterly pointless.

                                    A big resolution screen should always be matched with a big screen in terms of physical size for better experience.

                                      lucian, 09 Sep 2010am i sure you never tried android or iOS.Here we go again!!

                                      Am gonna ask you the same, have you tried Symbian^3? Im sure not because this is the first unit to have S^3 OS.

                                      Were buying Nokia N8 not just for the OS but for the monster features it has.
