Sea-Breeze, 01 Oct 2009N86 LEDS vs N82 XENON Still Images : first of all n... moreDear Sea-Breeze,

It's great to hear about the image quality of the digital zoom while taking video. I would like you to test the following for photos. Set the camera to 2MP or 3MP. Then take a photo with about 2 times zoom and let us know if the picture quality is good in the zoomed picture. (You could also try without reducing the resolution and using the full 8MP, but I am almost certain that the digital zoom will not have good quality....)

Please try and let us know.

                          stvn7, 27 Sep 2009has anyone of you tried using the animation menu plus?For installing this application u need to hack ur fone nd that is pretty much on ur own risk. Presently none of the hack is working for a FP2 device like n86. If its so tell me as well.

                            josh, 01 Oct 2009would you say the led flash is bright like the xenon flash ... moreN86 LEDS vs N82 XENON

                            Still Images :

                            first of all no led can be compared with xenon light thats a fact

                            it's all about the way the lens process the incoming light

                            N86 ==> Got variable apperature means in low light the lens opens wide to recive maximum amount of light so the pic comes out bright and vice versa

                            N82 ==> fully depends only on its flash its fixed apperature so whatever the surroundings lightings the n82 depend only on his powerfull xenon light


                            Conclusion :

                            the n86 calculate and perform better in low light with his leds !! as the lens opens wide to recive every minimal piece of light here and there so the pics turn out stunning
                            the n82 gives out better pics only ONLY within the lenght of the affecting xenon lets say 2 meters or 3

                            far than that comes out variable apperature rule as the 86 process well with its LEDS

                            overall performance the N86 is far better than the N82 specially with its recent firmware v20

                            Video :

                            both devices with the N95-8GB capture VGA @30 fps
                            but somehow the N86 scores better and better

                            the Lens capture more light the video turns out more bright with vivid light in low light the video is bright and beautifull comparable with n95-8gb ot n82

                            Another thing i noticed when Zooming the pic quality doesn't detatorize or in other words stay clear and crisp in other devices when zooming the pic is washed out and becomes crappy !!

                            LED ---> here comes the rule of led ! u can turn it on to capture videos .. yes its bright too bright that it lightens a full room !!

                            Guys dont expect a Digi-Cam with this N86
                            But expect the Highest 8 megapixel camera phone quality ever made !

                            cheers !

                                        guys i just updated my n86 firmware to v20.115 just by using my n86. Just go to Software Update and you can update the firmware there. It does has face detection. But one thing i noticed is that when the theme effects and sensor is on, when turn the phone to portrait to landscape or vice versa it takes lnng to change, and the effects is not there. But all in all the update is great.
