Is anyone using the N8 without sp?

Although the battery is Li-ion but since Ni-mh time..I always feel uncomfortable on the battery. I always charge once battery totally drained or till the battery low appeared...sigh.. now it's BAD!!  Battery will not last long liao 

Yeah I know that..but still feel uncomfortable..bcos the more you charge although no more mamory problem, the worst the battery lifespan...let say battery only can last 2000 charges & within 1 day you charge multiple times...gone liao 

Some of my really poor shots using N8



Appreciate some comments so that I can improve my shots in future

Most of my photos are vivid mode it makes the colour become sharp or brighter

If you lower the ISO, the brightness should remain same. The camera will still get the SAME exposure... to compensate for the lower ISO, the camera will lower the shutter speed to get the same exposure level.

But lowering the shutter speed means it's easier to get blurry pic if your hand is shaky

Anyway, lower the ISO to get better details/less noise, but hold the camera steady (I think it's not a problem though if there is enough ambient light)

That is strange, because that's not how a camera should work. The camera will read the lighting and set for the correct exposure no matter what is your setting (unless you change the EV setting)... that's how a normal DSLR works.

Unless if when the light is too low, the N8 can't open the shutter for longer period? Meaning, the N8 shutter speed has a low max limit .. then it will have no choice but lower the exposure level.
Thanks for your testing, but I think this argument is moot... because no one should set a low ISO in dim areas??? Only use low ISO in bright or moderate areas .... and please tell me using low ISO in bright areas will not affect the photo brightness... else there is sumthing wrong with N8.

It's wierd because previously I tested, it seems the shutter speed did not lower/reduce. It resulted in dark picture, so I set back the ISO to auto. Not sure what's the slowest shutter speed N8 will use; Even most phone camera or even digital camera, it will limit the shutter speed under auto shutter speed mode unless you use manual shutter speed. For N900, when use FCam, the slowest shutter speed we can set manually is 1 second; I don't think the auto mode will use this speed at all.

please post sample

What is the meaning of oily?

Anyway my Today dinner taken both using N8 & Canon 300HS (both using close up or macro mode & canon on AV- F2.0 mode)

N8 on the top & Canon on below:





With sufficient lighting, N8 performed well wth one of the best PNS digicam    but not during nite shooting due to lack of manual options 

Sometimes i wonder do u guys even look at the size of a DC camera lens vs Nokia N8

as a camera phone (CP not DC) it perform superb already

Yup, it's very good already it can replace the DC in many situations/conditions; no need to bring extra things.
For more serious photography, can straight bring DSLR, if one has it.

I guess the N8 just lack of more controls, especially touch focus which is really nice to have and already available on other camera phones. I'm not sure if other camera phones have those controls like Aperture Priority mode, Shutter Priority Mode, etc. If none have, maybe Nokia do it again by providing these features FIRST; If not, then also another reason why they should have it.

I think size should not be taken into consideration when you wanna make image quality comparison. I still think DC has the edge over N8.

they stick on the original nokia back protector mah, remove the nokia back protector sticker and stick on the warranty card, stick back only when you wanna send in for claim........

cheers.

Naked set inside a free soft cloth casing...I prefer soft fabric..auto clean the lens everitime you slip in & out haha
