Even in total darkness, N82 still manages to capture bright and clear images as if there is a luminous source of light. Even N86 with its variable apertures lens and 3rd general dual LED flash can't capture pictures in total darkness as bright and clear as N82. Xenon is really a must have for a cameraphone. And N82 video recording is focused about 2 metres from the subject. It means, you'll be getting equally clear videos of your subject within 2 metres. N79's video is prefocussed on infinity. Meaning, you won't be getting clear videos of someone near you. Because as the camera gets near the subject, the video gets blurred.

          Yes, N82 can replace a DSLR! In fact, most people who loves taking pictures just want high quality prints and professional looking softcopy of images out of their captured pictures, and they don't tweak their camera settings anymore. Very few will care about and use optical zoom, etc.

            More MHz doesn't necessarily translate to better performance. N82 has dual CPU with graphics accelerator. N79 has single CPU only without graphics chip. Both have 5MP Carl Zeiss lens and DVD video recording but N82 gives excellent image results which is above par N79's image quality. Video on N82 is really DVD quality, both shot and playback. N79 is below par N82 on videography. N79 has FM transmitter but it's only usable within 2 metres. N82 has Xenon flash which makes it easy to replace your DSLR. N82 also has more available RAM and internal memory, around 90MB of free RAM upon startup and 120MB of free internal memory. N79's keypad may look better and N82's keypad looks bizarre but actual usability is opposite on the two. The keypad on N79 is harder to press than N82.

              to start with, aperture setting, optical zoom, optical image stabilization, shutter speed etc etc etc.

              I can agree that N82 is better than N79 in imaging but to a camera. NAAAAA

              you are comparing oranges with apples and than quoting that oranges are sweater.

              please refrain yourself from misguiding.

                fab, 06 Jul 2009There must be a problem with your N82. I'm also an N82 user and I'm very much satisfied by its... moreNo. I do not mean that the N82 goes to overexposing my photos. And my N82 isn't faulty. In fact I have never encountered problems with that phone. What I mean is that, only few of my mates really dare to face the very strong Xenon light when they allow me to take portraits of it because its Xenon flash is pretty much causing some seconds of temporary blindness to you, especially when the phone is just about a meter away or less from your eyes.

                And yes, I have already found a plethora of sample night photos of the N79, and all I can say is, some of them are passable while most of them wherein I find to use my N82 most of the time is...well disappointing.
                Here is a review with sample N79 camera shot at daytime and nighttime.
                I used Google translate since it's from Mobile.Mail.ru, a russian website and I guess an affiliate of Smape.com... Anyone who are curious about the N79's cam quality should try to visit too. Here it is:

                            Ramu, 07 Jul 2009Vich is better n79 or n82??????? you have the answer above you. but actually it may differ, depend on which forum you are. there is biased fact. but if you asked me I choose N82 with no hesitation. I'm a picture man and N82 xenon never fail me. its CPU slightly lower but it is dual arm processor. if you want professional opinion, read the review of both phone by GSM arena.

                                    I am looking to get a good and affordable camera phone. The Sony Ericsson range seemed invitingly, but then realized their phones don’t have Carl Zeiss lenses (only their digi cams). So I turned to the Nokia N series. The N79 seems affordable enough, but there is some talk that the camera on it isn’t good. Would you rather suggest the Cybershot SonyE phones (C series) above the N79? Thank you.S
