Blurry Nseries videos

Q. Why do all the recent Nseries phones from Nokia make blurry videos?

A. This is because, compared to the all-conquering N95 (and N82), the newer N79, N85, N97 and N97 mini all have cameras with no mechanism to preset the lens for focussing video. Watch out for the camera-centric N86 (and the upcoming Nokia N8) though, as this does have the right lens mechanics and produces crisp video clips (see our review here)
