Camera seems fine although you do have to hold the camera very steady.
I agree that zooming is not brilliant but it zooms in quick enough but takes a few seconds to sharpen the image up... but how often will you zoom in to pictures tho???
I Love it :)

In reply to jai,
hey frnd i am not a user of N79, currently i am using SE W910(really upset after compared it to 5310XM).
My sis now using N73 black edition it sounds pleasure, i surely said that N79 also had stereo speakers so sounds good and new 6720classic also had stereo speakers, it sounds fantastic...
So surely N79 sound rocks u really.....
I am waiting for 5730 review, after this review i want to ditch my SE W910...

1st thing, this phone is very very slow!!!!! it takes ages to zoom a picture and worst, viewing the picture is a pain in the @$$!!!!, it takes more then 10 sec for the picture to clear up and wen zooming the picture, its takes time also to clear up, very ver dissapointing,
2nd, keypads are very hard to press, you cant type as fast as you want, when you press haed, you tend to press the wrong button, very very hard to press and very very stiff!!! if you are a fast texter, not recommended,
3rd is the worst thing!!! camera is a crap!!! its the worste 5 mp camera in the market, some 3 mp camera are even better, pictures are blurred, very very noisy, colors are messed up, you cant even tkae pictures of moving objects, pics will be blurred, setting doent even have adjustments for exposure value, sharpness, contrast etc like w/ n95 8gb and n82, its a crap, you will regret buying this phone, im selling mine now.
alternative phone to chnage to n82, still the best 5 mp cam and speed is amazing
n95 8gb phone also super fast and great pictures as well
n97 if you can afford it
n86 some say its a nice phone, you might wanna try it

seven, 26 Aug 2008Atleast there could be xenon.There should have been a Xenon flash. However in a bid to keep the phone Kareena slim, Xenon is discouraged, as its electrostatic capacitor eats up enormous space. Hence the LED flash. However recently, the high current LED flash, needing slim-thin supercapacitor is in vogue and a good answer to the Xenon flash. It is not clear whether in N79 regular low current 'lantern' LED flash is there or the recent high current LEDs that may soon replace the Xenons.

Santosh, 03 Aug 2009Hi frnds Im plannig to take N79, Please tell me something about the performance and youre... moreTo be frank, I think N79 is pretty good. It is quite user friendly, has excellent video quality and the camera is good. However, just for 40 Euros more, you can have N85. Only problem of N85 is that it does not have perfect legibility in sunlight, which I think, N79 is a clear winner. So, in short, either N79 or N85. Let me know your decision. maxven_08@yahoo.com
