A spot of sun! - Testing the Nokia N95

Published by at

First photo and video steps with the production Nokia N95

A rare spot of March sun in the UK offered me a fleeting window to pop out and take some photos and video with the spanking new Nokia N95. See what you think. Rafe's added some shots of his own as well now.

The close-up mode is especially impressive, auto-focussing but within a far tighter object distance. Photos have a lot of edge-enhancement and (probably) noise reduction, but the end result is quite pleasing, even if they're optically not that accurate... The much talked about 'Mars' effect only seems to rear its head when conditions aren't optimal, thankfully.
