Now THAT'S what you call a camera

Nokia N95-toting professional photographer Henry Reichhold is being featured in an international gallery of his best N95-taken photos at the Royal Albert Hall at the end of this month. Well worth popping in, I think, some of the images are stunning. If you go, please report back to AAS! (via Nokia Creative)

I wonder how much Nokia paid Mr Reichhold to keep his mouth shut and keep his opinion of camera phones to himself . . .

So far I have only seen three camera phones that compare at least with point-and-shoot digicams. Two of them are Korean (Samsung SCH-A990 and LG KG920) and one is Thai (i-mobile 902).

Although, obviously, the lens is smaller than on a standalone camera, the N95, with latest firmware and in reasonable-to-good light, takes *astounding* photos. And, as is also obvious from the photos in this guy's collection, he's done a lot of post-processing on the desktop, fiddling with colours and joining images together. 8-)

The photographer is an artist, and he probably viewed the thing as an artistic and professional experiment. Therefore, I don't think Nokia had to pay him anything to be positive.
