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

          kodn, 26 Jun 2009i'm a poor(poor in funds) student who is trying to save some cash to be abLe to buy this phone... moreI think n79 is the cheaper alternative to the n95 8gb. Apart from a smaller screen an better bat life, i think goin for this is much better.
          I've tried to fm Transmitter. Its pretty cool..;) it's nothing short of perfection from the list of phones up to now.!
          Like in the n81 8gb its got the navi wheel. Frikin sweet ! Lets u scrol like on a ipod. Thanks very much nokia !;)

            RBa, 04 Jul 2009Hello guys. I'm a current N82 user and I love its camera quality. However, I do find its Xenon... moreThere must be a problem with your N82. I'm also an N82 user and I'm very much satisfied by its camera performance, both stills and video. The Xenon flash is indeed very powerful but not to the extent that images will appear overexposed. Xenon flash tries to emulate the natural light and not the artificial light as dual LED flash does. N79 is a good phone. But trading your N82 for N79, I don't think it's a smart idea, unless you've got a faulty N82 unit.

                    N82 has 128MB RAM. What about N79? Can N79 run applications as well as N82?

                                  Hello guys. I'm a current N82 user and I love its camera quality. However, I do find its Xenon flash to be a bit too powerful so I'm planning to stick to an LED flash-equipped phone instead. My friends are actually complaining the same thing too since when they allow me to capture portraits of them, they want the flash to be turned off.

                                  So I'm gonna ask seriously for the current N79 owners. Is the camera quality of N79 really FAR below the n82 as what other users suggest?

                                  Alright, heres some sample day shots taken from a Nokia N82:
                                  http://www.flickr.com/photos/31133148@N04/sets/72157620902315764/

                                  And heres some sample night shots taken from a Nokia N82:
                                  http://www.flickr.com/photos/31133148@N04/sets/72157612691483559/

                                  Please compare it guys. Or if anyone can post a link to a bunch of day and night photos taken from a N79 that are uneditted, please post it here. I'll be very grateful especially night photos which matters me most as people claim that N79 is particularly bad in this.

                                  Please N79 users. Thanks and god bless to all.

                                    knggpnnn, 27 Jun 2009Is is truth that pictures are so bad? I mean don't compare them to a normal camera. Is the qua... moreI do think picture quality is one of the worse out there. I had before a Sony ericsson K550 and that one that cost $200 less took better pictures!. I hate this cell phone, I'm looking forward to buy my SE C901

                                        N79 fans in Singapore!!, I've called up Nokia & confirmed that product was discontinue due to low sales(indeed expensive)....what a pity, I felt sad as I can't replace my dream phone with any other model at this moment.☺
