Good but i think im getting used to seeing good quality 720p video recording now. Its more the stereo sound capture which i want, like i used to have with my N93.

The question is who are these guys that managed to get their hands on the N8? It is not out yet and it has even been delayed...
Are they Nokia employees? Or reviewers given pieces on loan from Nokia?
Digital zoom is never impressive. Maybe it would have looked cool if zooming in or out was smoother but otherwise no one will be impressed by looking at the pixels blown up - unless you're a fan of fuzzy videos

Damian Dinning had said that they had used a new video algorithm. This digital zoom quality may be the effect of that algorithm. I think camera on N8 will be much better than the one on c905 in low light. |

is there any advantage of buying the phone directly from the Nokia site vs a 3rd party internet reseller?
Nokia direct is like $100 more expensive |

Buying from the manufacturers sites are usually more expensive. I don't know why. Just try site for anything and you would get the same item from them but more expensive.

@ AbuBasim - theres tons of videos surfacing about the N8 now and its camera. Most of which are taken by people working in the mobile industry as journalists or reviewers. Theres also people who have the N8 for QA and debugging purposes. Its the same with every phone released, but moreso with high end devices. Do you think they're made by people who are trying to con us ? no they're made by people given N8's to capture such pictures and videos to tease us prior to launch. Its about making people want the phone.
Btw, the digital zoom is possible due to clever use of the N8's wider angle lense which gives it a huge depth of field. Such quality digital zoom is possible when the hardware is capable of it. Im still to see how well the N8's focus holds up against the Vivaz's continuous AF, but apparently its much better !
One downside IMO is the stereo sound capture, it somehow sounds as not a high quality as the old N93 from 2006, but still very good !
Cant wait to get mine !

everything is sharp in the videos.. its amazing how good it is. Major upgrade from Satio and quite a jump from vivaz too (SE always has a white halo on pictures and videos... nokia has more contrast and sharpness). Not worth to buy another SE phone. never ever. I have to admit the thing i didnt wanted to admit: ... nokia is nokia, number one in quality. Maybe i can get my hands on one orange sample too... i bet this phone will be a hit in Romania, so i have to choose a nice color that noone else will have (or will be rare) i know all muppets here will get the black/silver one. And yeah about the digital zoom they said it cust off the movie, but that way it has even more processing power and can render a "better" picture. - means it will look very good even with zoom (2x).
I hope you guys who preordered will post samples and share your review with us ASAP
