Are you getting the wrong info again? N8 is not fixed focus or full focus but auto focus..those full focus are the newer C6 & C7 & not N8.

Check the differences:

50cm & above OK. but you can't get any bokehness & no crisp images below 50cm. I was thinking of C7 b4 getting n8 but after reading the Damien explanation & otyhers..decided on N8.

Well although still disappointed wth N8 bcos lousy UI & lousy nite shooting and not comparable to hi-end digicam although they claimed there are almost DSLR! - Have to accept it lah..Still one of the best camera phone & better than the mid-lower end digicam

Check my previous comparison-lah..I already set the ISO to the max & exposure to the max but still kenot beat IXUS 300HS..You must hv missed my previous comparison:

Nite shooting:
Daylight shooting:

My humble layman explanation since you're comparing this cameraphone wth real digicam:

N8 is the best camera phone currently..well the nxt best probably Samsung pixon 12mp or SE Satio or LG 12mp (Forgotten what model liao)

But comparing wth hi-end digicam such as Canon S90/95, Panasonix Lumix LX3/LX6 & even the hi-end model of Canon IXUS 300HS..It's far from perfection unless Nokia release new Camera firmware!! this is due to the fact N8 having the largest of all cameraphone sensor and this sensor even equivalent to Canon S90 & bigger than my Ixus300HS but due to their pathetic R&D - the cam User interface (UI) & functionalities are not there..

So if u wanna all-in one gadget - Go for it lah but if really wanna a perfect good camera, go for the real one such as those above

No way.. I have tested my SE Vivaz & compare it with Lumix TZ15 ultra zoom http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Panasoni...x_DMC_TZ5_TZ15/ ..Failed:

N8 sensor sixe = 1/1.8 whereas Lumix LX5 = 1/1.63, S90 = 1/1.7 So still smaller than those hi-end digicam..However the size is higher than other Digicams in the market EXCEPT that 2!

Added on November 25, 2010, 10:04 amThat TZ15 that I compare wth Vivaz already cost me RM1200 when I newly bought it at the PQ worst than SE Vivaz So what you expect on those digicam < RM1K?

Omai..Another victim of Dead N8 Better send it to NCC..That's the common symptom of dead N8 liao

The bigger MP does not mean better picture quality..Take the hi-end IXUS such as 300HS, LX3/LX5, S90/S95. They only having 10mp & lower MP than N8 and other LOWER end digicam too

The important thing to look is actually the sensor size, the type of sensors and the capabilities of manual focus (Most Digicam <RM1.2K dun hv manual focus & thus you kenot control the apperture & resulted the lousy nite shooting as shown earlier....Therefore, the community of N8 currently fighting for the Manual control firmware for this N8 haha..aja-aja fighting

Not showing off..just for comparison nia...Last time during my time wth Vivaz (Still wth it haha)..I did comparisonb wth Lumix T15 mah..and after the testing decided to get IXUS300HS..haha
