Nokia N82 wins TIPA "Best Mobile Imaging Device in Europe" Award 200825 April 2008 by Olav Hellesų-Knutsen
The N82 by Nokia is a compact multimedia computer that integrates phone, GPS, web, video and music functions around a 5 megapixel camera with a high-speed, f/2.8 autofocus lens. This Carl Zeiss Tessar focuses from 10cm to infinity and produces sharp prints up to and beyond A4 size. A 20X digital zoom is available to help users get closer to the subject, and though the exposure is automatic, it can be adjusted with exposure compensation of +/- 2EV. As in a traditional camera, the user can select different white balance settings to shoot accurate colours, even in fluorescent or tungsten lighting. Several scene modes are also available to optimize the N82 for great images, whether shooting portraits or night shots. This 112g mobile device adopts a Xenon flash and comes with a 100MB of internal memory, but this can be expanded to 8GB with a microSD card.
"We are very excited to hear that the Nokia N82 has been recognized for its excellent imaging features," says Juha Kokkonen, Director for Nokia Nseries devices. "The Nokia N82 is an excellent example of how converged devices entirely change the way people contribute to and share on the internet by combining strong camera capabilities with built-in A-GPS and an array of connectivity features."
The Nokia N82 supports microSD memory cards of up to 8GB which allow the device to hold up to 3600 high-resolution pictures, 5 hours of high quality video capture, up to 6000 songs or all of the available regions for the Nokia Maps application.
TIPA was founded in 1991 as an independent, non-profit association of European photo and imaging magazines. With 31 member magazines from twelve countries, it is currently the largest photo and imaging press association in Europe. Once a year, editors from the TIPA member magazines meet to vote for the Best Photo and Imaging Products in Europe.

This is not the first time Nokia win this prestigious award. Nokia N95 won last year. In 2006, the Nokia N80 was given the award and back in 2005 Sony Ericsson K750 was ranked highest.
K850 ... RIP!
SE ... RIP!

Hopefully rather than "SE...RIP," it'll give SE more motivation to release something better and more powerful than the N82....especially imaging-wise.

@TM
aggred with TM all SE needs to do is focus on the next cyber shot and make it better then N82 in all areas and just make it look good, the N82 is a good phone but in the looks department its dog ugly and i think Nokia rushed the design they just wanted to take sales from K850

N82's design sucks, it looks like an entry level phone
rip on Apr 25 2008
actually the design is a traditional candy bar, looks fine plus the keys are functional, you dont hit things accidently like the k850 or k800, if you dont own the phone you wont know :) plus its not all just about pictures either the n82 kicks k850s but left and right, in every category :)
so rightfully said RIP SE

another achievement for nokia! congrats...and to SE, better luck next time.
silentwhistler on Apr 26 2008
No, it doesn't look like an entry level device, though it does look somewhat similar to SE design. Nevertheless, a worthy winner. Cybershot is now officially a marketing gimmick, shameful indeed

if you combine the n82 with the samsung g800 or g810, the picture quality is the same. But the Samsung has 3x optical zoom. Therefor I think the samsung is better. it gives you so much mor if you have more tele and wideangle.
The SE cams are not that good at the moment. I hope they make some progress, that would be good for competition. The phones are great, but the cam...
chbutcher on May 08 2008
this handset is ugly... it tries to be a jack-of-all-trade gadget..
if you want camera buy a decent digital camera
for music, only ipods can be the best
for phone, samsung is the way to go...
get a life you guys!
mumoy on May 15 2008
