    Dear wreck,

    Your choice is obvious man..! Nokia N8 is the way to go if you're looking for the camera.. Not the mega pixel count, I mean the features.. (Don't fool yourself by software features like smile detection and face detection. They're only eye candy...)

    If you want more clear details,

    N8 Vs Vivaz (Camera wise)
    ===========
    1) N8 has the bigger sensor (Biggest for a mobile phone EVER)

    2) N8 has wide angel lens but vivaz doesn't

    3) N8 has Xenon flash which is great for photo shooting while Vivaz has only LED which usually sucks

    4) N8 has ND filter which is great for exposure controlling while Vivaz has none

    5) N8 has more mega pixels (12 MP vs 8 MP)

    6) N8 can take uncompressed photos (with file size over 10 MB) with a support of a 'mod' (I don't think Vivaz can do that)

    7) N8 can record HD videos up to 30 fps (again with a support of a 'mod') but Vivaz only supports 24 fps

    8) N8 supports for great software like 'Camera Pro' and it can grab so many things out of N8's camera because it has great hardware. (But if you install the same in Vivaz you wouldn't get that much because Vivaz hardware is not that good as N8's. Simple as that.)

    9) ISO sensitivity of N8 is larger and it's specially capable of taking low light photos. (But Vivaz Sucks there.)

    10) N8 and Vivaz both have followings
    * Auto Focus
    * Face detection (Silly - not a hardware feature)
    * Continuous auto focus (for N8 you have to install a 'mod' to activate this)
    * Geo tagging
    * HD Video recording

    Now, anyone can see, which camera has better features...!

    (Vivaz has touch focus, video light & smile detection which are not available in N8. So you call them as the features compared to the greatest camera giant in mobile phone history...?) Come on mate... Don't be so blind....!

    I don't know why anyone is even trying to compare Satio or Vivaz with this giant N8... It's so silly..

      AnonD-2965, 19 Apr 2011i havent bought either vivaz or n8. the thing is i need the best camera without misssing feat... moreyo... what phone are you usin now bro? the ARC maybe a good choice..or if you love symbian s60v5 just choose a Satio....

      hey u should compare the Vivaz with Satio (xenon flash and video light too..
      ooopps dont forget the NEO its an advancement of VIVAZ

        AnonD-2965, 19 Apr 2011i havent bought either vivaz or n8. the thing is i need the best camera without misssing feat... moreget out of the WRECKAGE PLS!!!

        >>>>i havent bought either vivaz or n8. ha hA HA...
        the thing is i need the best camera without misssing features,
        n8 got 12mp camera with autofocus (NO NEED TOUCH FOCUS),
        Xenon flash,
        1/1.83'' sensor size (NO NEED VIDEO LIGHT), bring a Torch Light if necessary cos i doubt a phone video light will give enough light for a distance of more that 1.5 meters
        ND filter, geo-tagging, face detection


        whereas vivaz has 8mp camera with Led flash,video light,continous autofocus,touch focus, geo-tagging, face and smile detection
        n8 got more resolution whereas vivaz got more feaures.

        YOU WANT RESOLUTION PLAY WITH N8
        YOU WANT FEATURES PLAY WITH VIVAZ
        to bad no straight answers for you from this forum...
        think! cos you r using your own money... smartphone need smartuser

        err you know to capture images in very low light without getting a blur picture using a phone??? cos if you dont know no point of having camera phone giving good resolutiuon with lots of features and even high MP...just get the VIVAZ its cheaper... cheers..

            AnonD-628, 19 Apr 2011Thanks Ray! Good to know, it's been a month or so since pr1.2 is out, so I was kind of worrie... more Your welcome. I still haven't got PR 1.2 myself, and I'm in the UK. Since Opera released version 11 of their mobile browser, practically most people have abandoned the native browser. However, the new native browser due to arrive with Anna is a massive improvement on the current one, but still no Flash 10 though.

            SPB do produce some excellent software too. I'm using SPB weather, which is very nice indeed.

            All the best.

            Ray

              You may like to consider the Sony Ericsson XPERIA ARC.
              It's got all the features in it's camera that you want, plus a lot of other brilliant features. Have a look at the following web site.

              http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/corporate/products/phoneportfolio/specification/xperiaarc

              All the best.

                Ray Hipkiss, 18 Apr 2011Hi Mauritango. No trouble at all. I've just checked the release schedule for you and your ... moreThanks Ray!
                Good to know, it's been a month or so since pr1.2 is out, so I was kind of worried.
                The update that I'm interested about of course is symbian Anna, I know it will take some time to be available. Actually what I'm looking forward is the portrait qwerty keyboard, as I text a lot.
                Right now I'm using Spb Shell (I believe Nokia should team up with them or reach some kind of businees agreement), and Opera as my main web browser, n8 + spb shell + Opera is a killer combo.
                Thanks again, take care

I tried everything, even reinstalling the software, but of no use.. I took it to nokia care, even they were not able to do anything.. It was then replaced by a new n8. You should take your mobile to nokia care..

Sony is good,but ericsson is juz sucky. Vivaz also sucky with d headphone at d side @_@ what d hell is wrong with d designer?
