The N80 Camera

Right,
So the N80 took a bit of stick in the camera review on this site, I was out and about with my N80 earlier on today and after hitting the enhance button in iPhoto just the once on each shot, here's what I ended up with.

While it's not an SLR, it does the job.

SLR means single lens reflex. Simply put, its a professional camera that allow the user to change the lens

Daytime photo's in bright light seem to be ok...still not up to 3 Mp in my opinion, but ok if I dont have my camera with me, its when the light is not so good the camera is sh*t, especially at night or indoors, its basically unusable and not the quality that one would expect from a 3 Mp camera.

Daytime the camera kicka*s, on 3mp im happy with it, but on nights or indoors its a piece of sh*t lol

It's a real shame the N80 never came with autofocusing or a Karl Zeis (sp?) lense. Tho I was very impressed with the secondary cameras ability to work in the dark, illuminated by nothing but the screen and my laptop.

I have a cracking digi slr for serious photography, I do however have a 14 month old and one of the reasons I bought a phone with a 'reasonable ' camera is that they often do stuff quite spontaneously when I don't have the main camera with me ,whilst I always have my phone with me. She was sat in a slow moving ride on thing outside an arcade in mallorca last week and it couldn't even keep up with that without blurring. TBH I'm disappointed in the camera, the rest of the phone is absolutely superb.

I agree, the camera is relitively good for still shots, but forget moving shots and night time or low light shots.

I like to take pictures at night when I am out with friends in the bars and clubs of the local girls (not in a pervy way..honest) 😊..I live in Lithuania and the girls are just stunning 😊..but of course the pics all turn out sh*t, so I dont even use the camera now, would have prefered a bigger battery and no camera
