I'm thinking about buying this phone , and I'm using macro mode alot so I wondered if the flash burns the pic while using it in macro mode...

Can anyone please upload a few macro pics with , and without flash on at the closest focus distance?[I prefer indoors lighting conditions]


PS - I'm looking for full-res images.

No actually the n8 does not. When i had it the camera seemed to sense it was a close up and flash would adjust accordingly and not burn out or over expose.

With Flash



Without

Without



All pics indoors , close up mode, the ones without the flash are not so good.

Taken today in morning sunlight, macro mode low iso..





avoid flash if you can even a proper camera will struggle to use flash properly at very close range.

Thanks guys!
@streetgang - but as you can see the indoors macro with flash is much better...

I'm using C905 at the moment , I'm pretty satisfied but I hate it's really weak Wi-Fi and poor video recording, very noisy images at ISO 400+ , on the positive side - the flash is really awsome and the images have good colors [I'm using witchking's CE driver]
My main use is of course , the still camera.
I know the N8 is much better in terms of video recording , browsing and has a few nice games , but all of these aren't worth it if the image quality is not much better. [Again, I'm using macro alot and I heard it's not one of the N8's strengths]

So I'm not sure that I want to spend 400$ and become disappointed because of a little or not better image quality , so what do you think I should do?


I tested my C905 against N86 and Satio , and the C905 won in almost every situation*
