Nokia N900 sample video

The Nokia N900 camera is really quite good. In fact, even with pre-release firmware, it walks all over the competition!

Its no surprise. The N900 comes from a long lineage of great 5 megapixel phones from Nokia, such as the N95 and the N82. It features Carl Zeiss optics (with auto-focus and macro), a dual LED flash, and a sliding lens cover as such, its virtually identical to the N97 camera

The UI is especially polished. Of course theres geo-tagging and auto-rotation, but its easy to tag and share pictures via Flickr, Facebook, or Pixelpipe. Contrary to other smartphones (and like cameraphones), the N900 camera is an integral part of the device, not an afterthought.

The N900 takes very nice pictures (slide show), with excellent color balance, exposure, and level of detail. But theres room for improvement, especially in low light. The sensor is a little too noisy at times (shades of N96) hopefully this can be fixed in a future update.

And then theres video recording. With a resolution of 848×480 pixels at 25 fps, the N900 is the same league as the Motorola Droid and the Samsung Memoir. It also features initial auto-focus like the iPhone 3GS :)

Here is a sample video.

Can you lower the video resolution on this phone, so it could run more smoothly?

[qrpkgrl]

@tarikay93 yes, there are several choices, including 640x480 (VGA) at a smooth as silk 30 fps.

[tarikay93]

@qrpkgrl Thanks. And can you tell me, what's the highest video resolution available?

[qrpkgrl]

@tarikay93 what you see here - 848x480. Check out my blog post (link in the description) where you can download the original MP4 file for this video.

@josephgrovers wrong way.

droid is shit compared to N900.

Ok now seriosly, NONE of them are shit. they're both good. i think N900 is better, but it's MY opinion.

El nokia n900 tiene todo , buenas fotos , buen sistema operativo , buenas aplicaciones, etc etc etc el único punto débil que tiene el n900 es la grabación de video ( graba como si tuviera paros o congelamientos) esto no es problema de software ni de hardware NOKIA le dio esa grabación al N900 , Lamentablemente un equipo nunca sera totalmente perfecto en este caso la grabación de video es su punto débil pero tomando fotos es Excelente y Extraordinario con un enfoque superior a un N8

@Abiic07 Reconsider. Seriously you shouldn't buy a phone thats already old and outdated like the n900 or ANYTHING from blackberry.
