can buy it lar... =D it's still the king of cameraphone at the moment... 12MP wor... =D but it still comes to how u utilize the camera... like me and my dad both own n8 but i take nicer picture compared to my dad...

For point and shoot, I think N82 is better. And the camera button is easier to press.
For playing with settings, yeah logically N8 is the king, I don't know, I'm noob in photography. And problem is, to play with the setting itself, it will take time, and the scene you want to capture is probably gone ady by the time you're set.
But like I said this is just me, so it's good that others don't find it a problem.

N82 shutter button don't go in so much; but actually, it's not so fair to compare N82 as it's screen it's smaller, lower megapixel; You won't notice how bad the image is, especially at such small screen.
If you want to compare, try viewing at larger screen.
Actually, it's simple, just like cameras vs DSLR; DSLR is powerful, but doesn't mean anyone can take good picture and it doesn't mean it's easy to use; Many people bought it, end up the picture is worst than their point and shoot quality and it's harder to use and more complicated. But if the person learns to use it, then the person will utilize the capability of the camera and produce better results.
Hence, this said, sometimes, it's not important to get a DSLR, some people may just want a easy to use camera with LCD (LiveView) but has great performance like DSLR, they should look for those mirrorless camera, like Panasonic G series (G, GF, GH), Olympus PEN, Sony NEX, etc. These camera, have better performance than DSLR when use in liveview mode (e.g. GF2 focusing is blazing fast (the touch focus, you touch, it immediately focus and snap) and it's so easy to use).

Anyway, back to N8; You can save your CUSTOM settings, so everytime you launch the camera, it'll use your custom settings. As for usage wise, I mostly indoors, so same like you, I don't fancy the use of N8. In lowlight, N8 or many digital camera is weak and slow, especially if you want to capture movements (e.g. baby, kids, etc). In daytime, it performs great, just like many other phone camera and digital camera, the difference is the image quality, picture control (colour, sharpness, etc).

I agree with u andy, n that's kind of my point actually. I'm sure the best of N8 pixs will beat the best of N82 pixs hands down. However it's easier for me to get better pictures using N82, point and shoot. I guess with easier to press camera button plus N82 being thicker contribute to this.
However like closeup shots N8 is it, no contest.

How much is N8 nowadays? Thanks.

RM1299 max (Nokia price)

cheapest i can find is rm1100 http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1869867&hl=

Looks fishy when a trader wants to trade with another pon.

me too. I feel tat the n8 shutter is the easiest to press among all phones. But surprisingly not all n8 feels the same.

Sifu u got so many nice pictures because of your skill, not so much the camera

This is the latest picture I took, what do u think of it?

Speaking of camera, is it just me or the pressing the shutter usually has a higher chance of shaky pic taken? I press the screen button often and it takes better focused picture (less camera shake) than taken by pressing shutter button

my advice is framing. I think u move back alittle will be better

Alright noted, I actually crop the picture. maybe it's better off as the original.

We might host another event very soon with a few more sifu do join us we will show you another world that you been missing.

Tempting..

Are you sure? Try take outdoor shots during broad daylight and don't shoot close up;
If your shoot indoor or lowlight, the shutter speed is slow, surely it's easy to get shaky pics.

I thought the picture took with digital camera, manatahu is N8
