Why there is no xenon in N86 .. read this

*conversations.nokia.com/2009/07/27/being-flash-isnt-always-the-answer/

Seems like feel and bulk was the main issue .. Still xenon flash would have made it a spectacular camera phone . I hope nokia does not do it again when they come out with a camera phone in the near future. I truly hope all the flak they receive for not including xenon in N86 would make them wiser and they wont repeat this mistake in future devices.

they should use both a regular xenon flash and a single or dual led for video recording in there camera phones

The excuses for lack of xenon is total bullshit . Nokia is just too greedy and want more margin . We are not demanding xenon in every camera but asking it for a goddann camera thats supposed to be a flagship imaging device.

Btw , nokia seriously need to revamp their camera software with face recognition and goodies like that.

Nokia should learn a thing or two from se and samsung. Both satio and pixon 12 has xenon plus led flash combo.. I hope nokia wont repeat this mistake for their next imaging flagship..

A new firmware in the works which improves low light performance. Although there is nothing wrong with its low light performance as of now, its a good news. I hope they do something abt the details thing, a lot of sites have been crying about. I find the details to be satisfactory for a wide angle lens.

I dont know why nokia is making a joke of itself. Nokia needs to stop talking bullshit and focus on their next flagship which along with xenon also badly need camera software overhaul.

Actually these dual leds are very good .. but xenon plus these dual leds would have been killer combo for N86. Only con of N86 is that lack of xenon. But then again none of the samsung 8mps have xenon either .. Its only their 12 mp that have it and its first samsung with a proper high capacity xenon unit built into it .. G800 , G810 had low power xenon units..

hmmm..while viewing the pic at 50% it looks very good but after that it becomes blurred.

anyways we can never compare mobile cam with digicams:smile:

I agree with sujoyp . But its not blurred , its the high compression of nokia showing its fault . Actually almost every phone i see suffer from this problem(and most low end digicam to some extent). A 6mpix photo in jpeg fine taken with nikon D70 takes around 4-5mb where as n86 barely crosses 1mb ! YOu see what i mean .

There is also posibility of noise reduction , but since its a daylight photo , noise shouldn't have been a problem.

Btw , zn5 was best performer in this regard IMO.

There may be some loss of details, but remember its a wide angle lens hence fitting more in the same space as other 8mp camera phones. Images have improved in ver 11 firmware. I am pretty sure nokia will do something abt this lack of details everyone is crying about. I am fine with the details btw.

This looks interesting

My N73 got stolen yesterday. I will be buying an N86 within some days. Will be watching this thread for updates. How is the digital compass perfomance? Does it work with google maps?

Saw an N86 at the priority dealer. The Amoled display seemed to be little bit yellowish than typical backlit LCDs. Is it so?

Digital compass works alright. Just that u need to calibrate it a bit before its use. It works with nokia's ovi maps. Does not work with google maps.

If ur into the market for new phone, then pls check samsung omnia hd which is released in india .. Fantastic phone if ur budget permits. I would have taken it if it was available in june ..

Omnia HD has great features like big display, 3d HW accelerator, powerful cpu, 256 mb ram, S60 5th, etc. I would prefer it anyday over N86 if it was priced below 30k. Its almost 10k above N86. I am ready to pay such a price for features, but my budget is within 25k. :(

I have high hopes for SE Satio...if its priced much above 30k...then it will loose the game

Omnia HD have great multimedia features:)

I bought an N86 two days ago for Rs. 23,819 from Mobile Store. Was fiddling with it for a while. The speed of navigation is very good, much better than my N73. The compass feature was a much needed one in Maps. The fone feels heavy in hand. Have installed some basic apps like taskman, IM+, UCWeb etc. Need to keep it safely this time...
