whatsapp is the biggest battery drainer for me.

camera sifus: I notice that your pictures are incredibly sharp. I've checked for "dirty" lenses etc but my photos are never as sharp as yours (but generally sharp / sharper / impressive compared to normal compact camera / other smartphones). Of course most of my shots are via automatic settings. Do you guys always use manual settings ? tripod ? etc ? or did my numerous drops of the phone somehow "degraded" the camera quality ? 

You mean, even with this official Belle, the N8's camera has been degraded. The only reasons I kept my N8 is due to the Maps and Camera.

sifu, how close u take the picture from the object? Is it about 10 cm? Less than it can get sharp picture or not ah?

i saw urself in that girl's eye reflection..seems no lens here ..

maybe direction of sunlight plays important part of your snap...wonder wonder wonder

My photos are like what stimix and reddevil posted (though more in focus    ). Aspire's photos seem very very sharp.
Mind to share the settings here ?

This one don't look as sharp as the one you took with Anna. Is it?

how come this new upgrades(ANNA & BELLE) degraded the camera quality? 

Yeah just tested moment ago..On max zoom, the in-focus (Green box) achieving ~ 9cm from object and if I zoom out to normal posistion, the in-focus point stood ~12cm.

Good idea haha..later I post my findings...Now I know aspire tactic liao..MAX zooming..Later I maz zoom-in +macro len..fuuuuu..I think 2cm also can liao...

Anyway of aspire claim can get till 2-3cm..hmnnn still far wor..The best I can get till the "Green Box" prompted is ~ 8cm.

I don't think so..Anyway on a digicam and even my NEX5N, I also dun use this feature haha

1.OK..this was taken without zooming..The best ~ 12cm away


2. Max zooming and the in-focus point reduced to ~ 8-9cm


Haha..really noob to the max

NEX5N 

Unker pangur, you also zoom-in macro? Anyway..the middle part abit out of focus..your hand shaking or got wind..haha

@aspire...Yeah I tempted to get an 100mm zoom lens liao but too expensive..that lens more than the price of NEX5N!! Sigh..

BTW..how you know N8 got inbuilt ND filter? Even I'm sourcing now for a ND & CPL filters for my NEX haha

Very difficult to avoid some shaking when pressing the button - you have to press really hard to get the shutter to snap.
