Nokia N97 camera image and video samples

Today was a sunny day, very few clouds so we took our Nokia N97 for a spin around the block and made a few sample images and a few videos. So in order to share these sample images and videos from the Nokia N97 we upload them to our site for you to see. All the images are shot without any additional settings, we left the N97 camera on it’s defaults and on the maximum resolution 2592x1944. Same thing with the videos, we used the back camera. Here is some more information about the sample videos: audio: 0xa106 48000Hz mono 768Kbps, video: M4S2 640x352 29.32fps 2700Kbps. The video recording eats up to 25MB for one minute of recording in mp4 format.

Our impressions from the overall performance of the camera are that it produces good images, a bit too saturated, but at least they are colorful. On sunny days like the one today you will be able to take amazing images, we have not printed any of them but we can say for sure that they are suitable for small prints. On the other hand the Nokia N97 is perfect for images that are uploaded to Facebook or other social sharing sites. While we had the advantage of a sunny day, the camera starts to decrease its performance as it gets darker and darker. The built in digital zoom as you might see from the samples just magnifies part of the image as I guess might be done better in PhotoShop.

Nokia N97 camera video recording samples

As far as the video recording, from the sample videos we were able to record with the Nokia N97 we can say that it is not the best mobile phone camera out there (compared to the 8 megapixel Samsung mobile phones) but when there is enough light the N97 records good videos. Compared to the iPhone 3G or other 3 megapixel cameras on other mobile phones the N97 seem to make superior videos. There is even a digital zoom available while recording which can be found useful in certain occasions.
