do you mind sharing a pic on how it look like? I'm looking for something more sturdy and not those flimsy RM10 car holder.... or anyone got this http://www.nokia.com.my/find-product/acces...e-holder-cr-122 ?

oh, so u get the official nokia car holder... do you remember your model number? which hello station you get it from as i asked some of them, no stock... any how much for the car holder itself without the charger? thanks..

wokie dokie.. thank you..

what is your benchmark? slow and sluggish compare to which phone? for me, it's a BIG improvement compare to my previous E71 :-)

this is cool... if only you got sell the ball head without the tripod :-) was planning to DIY one myself before i saw this...

panning shot?

since u can't set the shutter speed in N8, i guess the only way to influence it is to play with combination of ISO and the scene mode... eg. slower shutter speed: low ISO with night scene and no flash... fast shutter speed: high ISO with sport mode

good idea

Did some testing for close up shot with some explanation for those who want to know more details

1) This is shot using close up mode with ISO setting as high and no flash. This is shot at the minimum focus distance of 10cm.


2) This is shot using the same setup as above but add raynox dc250 (click here to find out more on raynox). The minimum focus distance has reduced to around 6.5cm in this case.


Base on the sensor size of N8, which is 1/1.83" the magnification for 1) is around 0.06x and for 2) is around 0.125x. If you guys are interested, I can post the "ruler" shot that can show this calculation more accurately.

High ISO setting is used to increase the shutter speed and flash is not use because it make the subject too harsh.

Actually, you can use those cheapo magnifying glasses as well to increase the magnification, just that the image quality may not be as good... have fun playing around

if $$ is an issue, try raynox first.. unless you are very sure you want to go into macro, then get the macro lens. but you need to know what kind of macro you want to shoot because with 50mm, your focus distance is very near... so you must be in stealth mode to shoot the insect without scaring them off

handheld

hehehe.. i'm just trying it out to see whether worth it or not to DIY an adapter... since the magnification is not much, i think will use handheld easier lah...

hei.. this is at stadium shah alam... hainanese gathering :-)

you are killing the threat with the size of photo...

well, u can if u have enough hand to open the lens aperture and hold it to the phone and snap the pic let me try this weekend with reverse lens first..

i don't issue with using opera and N8 keyboard to surf lyn, no issue when keying in p/w and etc....

ovi store..

my lunch :-) close up mode, auto ISO and no flash:



Attached thumbnail(s)

managed to play Castle Age the other day on my phone...

that's called aperture blades... usually will give the shape of the bokeh...

after looking at your photos and explanation, i think i know what you trying to say on the "issue"... let me try to reproduce it and do some comparison and some reading.. hopefully got an explanation for it
