GLOBAL – There’s been plenty of discussion around the N86 8MP and the fact it doesn’t come with a Xenon flash. There’s good reason, as to why, some of which we outlined in the interview with Damian Dinning, the man behind both devices. Damian himself wanted to highlight the low light performance differences of both devices so set up a true like for like test which he’s shared with Conversations.

GLOBAL – There are some problems that can’t be fixed through the usual route and need to be resolved a different way. Capturing good images in low light has always been a challenge for mobile devices, for a variety of reasons, and one which the newly launched N86 8MP was tasked with tackling head on. The team responsible for conceiving the N86 is lead by Damian Dinning, who has a long history in photography (his first job was in a camera shop, before working for a variety of global camera brands). Damian had an ambition about 20 years ago where photography would become part of everyone’s daily lives, be accessible and easily usable and form part of our daily communication. Since joining Nokia he’s been heavily involved in the Imaging Business Unit, and is now responsible for developing a raft of Nseries devices (he was also involved in the N82). Fitting then, that one of the guys responsible for us being able to take better images with our mobile devices is also the guy who coincidentally, even by his own admission, had that vision all those years ago.

HELSINKI, Finland – Yesterday, the Nokia N86 8MP officially started selling in shops around the globe. To mark the occasion (and to take advantage of the great weather), I went into Helsinki to take some videos and photos with my brand-spanking-new N86.
As an aside, I was a big fan of the Nokia N85. The N86 is similar, but has a ton of new tweaks, including a super eight megapixel camera, so it instantly became my new favorite (we wrote about it back in February).
In any case, decide for yourself. I took some photos and posted them below for you to check out. Just remember, I’m no pro photographer (or videographer) so take that into account when you comment on the quality of the photos (in other words, be nice).
