small misunderstanding, we are not talking about Carl Zeiss optical glass for professional use. however, there's no magic behind "Carl Zeiss" printed on Nokia phone. size does matter... you won't see full potential of big sensor without good glass, tiny sensors have no potential and even the best glass won't help them, it won't hide noise, it won't improve post-processing. quality starts and ends on the sensor and branded glass is just a marketing marionette

No, I like Sony Ericsson phones but wish they were more Sony and less Ericsson. The swedish are not very good at making phones, Finland and Japan are better with excellent build quality. The cybershot branding and features are all from Sony, they should ditch the losers from sweden.

Anyway, the N95, N96 and N82 are all the same 5mp camera but the only difference is N82 has xenon flash, N95 has led flash and N96 has the biggest screen and dual led flash. My N96 has had several firmware updates and it updated the camera image quality too.

The N96 is now the same camera quality as N82 and N95, except the N96 has way more features and has 16gb built in so its the better all round phone.

Well i know Carl Zeiss are good i have had Sony cameras with them but sometimes they tend to oversharpen images. Also some of Sony's latest compact cameras are getting awful with style over quality. I just think the lens in Nokia phones is not really Carl Zeiss. Also the 6700 is very good. Nokia do make good camera quality though not always the best there is. Speaking to some camera pros in shops and real pro photographers they are rather stuck up when it comes to Sony cameras they dont like them. Personally Fuji are my fave they are also best for low light.

Interesting:

"Carl Zeiss are the company who make the camera lens’s for the Nokia NSeries handsets and have a long history in the camera market and not many people get to see the hard work and detail that goes into creating these NSeries phones"

I found this:


Trolling:
Being a prick on the internet because you can. Typically unleashing one or more cynical or sarcastic remarks on an innocent by-stander, because it's the internet and, hey, you can.

Guy: "I just found the coolest ninja pencil in existence."
Other Guy: "I just found the most retarded thread in existence."

NOkia and carl zeiss or either way are purely for marketing strategies, lens alone doesn't produce good shots though it helps but the overall good camera module are what matters...

canon, nikon, pentax, fuji, casio, sony, minolta use their own lens not carl zeiss....

Anyone with a 5800XM should remove the battery cover, shoot some pics, put it back on and shoot some more pics. Compare those. Nokia made a big woopie of designing the battery cover, it has some crappy piece of plastic that will lower your image quality a lot. Examples:

With battery cover:

Full size: http://www.esato.com/phonephotos/viewphotos.php?pid=24725

Without battery cover:

Full size: http://www.esato.com/phonephotos/viewphotos.php?pid=24726

Also setting the exposure compensation and contrast to +0.5 or +1 will help a lot with or without the battery cover.
