iphone 4 Camera VS. N900 Camera
 

I've seen the video quality of the iphone 4 on youtube, it was very smooth and sharp. The quality of the video is 720p HD at 30fps as well. Higher resolution and higher frame rate! wtf! Common Nokia!
I know that our N900 can achieve the HD resolution too, but due to Nokia decision not to add it in because of some memory issues. But if there is a way to boosting to 720p recording at 30fps then it's going to a godsend.
Both 5mpx but i've heard that the lense sensor on the iphone is the size of a digital camera. Can anyone here confirm?

Iphone can play HD o.o N900 can't!!! by default!

Bring me the Linux power.

N900 was released in 2009, iPhone 4 in 2010. You should expect different capabilities.

If you want 720p video, wait for N8.

Re: iphone 4 Camera VS. N900 Camera
 

Do note that Apple opted for a 5 megapixel camera with improved optics & sensors in 2010, as opposed to just one with higher resolution when there are phones with 10-12 megapixel cameras nowadays.

Re: iphone 4 Camera VS. N900 Camera
 

I don't really care, the N900's camera is great, so is the iPhone's (although I've heard it overdoes the post processing). I find it surprising that you aren't angry at all the other phones that have far superior cameras to both the N900 and the iPhone, why should we compare it to the iPhone exclusively? It's a feature phone, for god sakes.

Re: iphone 4 Camera VS. N900 Camera
 

lol stuff N8! I'm not wasting on such of thing just for the sake of better camera by Nokia. I'm waiting to see Next MeeGo device, but I'm a little concern about the apps availability of MeeGo when it first come out. Android got 100xxx+ apps and so far MeeGo still nothing and it may takes 1 year to catch up.

N900 can do HD but camera frame drop is a real problem. Iphone didn't drop a frame. damn iphone! i curse them to hell

Re: iphone 4 Camera VS. N900 Camera
 

just get the flip hd or something :)

Re: iphone 4 Camera VS. N900 Camera
 

get a separate camera. :D

Re: iphone 4 Camera VS. N900 Camera
 

here i comparing to the spec of camera bundle with the device. 5Mpx camera on both. So it's more fair to compare with something similar. I just wish Nokia fix the camera problem on N900 though, the software rendering is not good and causing frame dropped. Also for f* sake! Why on earth that there is no Pause when taking video. It's pissed me off most of the time when i'm taking short clip of each scense and the i have to restart a new clip every time i want to do a pause. So i end up with millions of small clips. This got to be fixed!

Re: iphone 4 Camera VS. N900 Camera
 

The sensors on these cameras are tiny, and the lenses are fixed. Just get a HD digital video camera, and be done with it.

Re: iphone 4 Camera VS. N900 Camera
 

It probably wont be. Also it doesn't make it particularly more valid to compare just because they're both 5mpx, they're still two different lenses.

Re: iphone 4 Camera VS. N900 Camera
 

Yeah that's my point same MP but lenses is what I am wanting to know. Which one is better? Carl ziess or the iphone one?

Take a look at the video. Some what I felt like iiphone got manual focusing. The video switches between long distant to close distant shot. Why Can't N900 do this with built in function?

Also PAUSE is a must.

Here you go take a look at the snap shot of iphone 4 camera. Looks sharp and clear. I don't know what to say..

iphone 4 picture image size is somewhere 2.25MB each! Whereas N900 is various from 700kb-1.9MB

Re: iphone 4 Camera VS. N900 Camera
 

My images are 3-4 mb each! Yes i have modded the camera config.

Re: iphone 4 Camera VS. N900 Camera
 

Is the quality any better with that size?

Re: iphone 4 Camera VS. N900 Camera
 

Haven't really tested it out since i'm never in a position where i need to take a picture. Quality comes most from knowledge how to take a picture, lightning, settings and such not from how big the image size is but best would be to get raw image from the camera.

Re: iphone 4 Camera VS. N900 Camera
 

Raw is hard to get directly from the camera. Since it is processing after the picture is taken and convert. But yes still possible if someone willinging to digg it out. It have to store as a cache somewhere before converting. Jpg is lossly, but if we can turn the quality to png would be lossless.

Re: iphone 4 Camera VS. N900 Camera
 

You can try use any other compress method just change it in /etc/gdigicam I have changed it to :
element=jpegenc
quality=100

Just try to use png or something.

Re: iphone 4 Camera VS. N900 Camera
 

I changed it and the quality is pretty much still the same and the size too lol. And n900 doesn't have PNGenc ftw!!

Re: iphone 4 Camera VS. N900 Camera
 

Did you even read the first line, i bet you didnt even enable the config file.

Re: iphone 4 Camera VS. N900 Camera
 

I enabled it ages ago.
But for some reason, my config file is no longer in the folder o.O etc/gdigicam

Mine to share me yours? Mine is gone O.O wtf?? Gone?

Re: iphone 4 Camera VS. N900 Camera
 

@antezz. I checked the wiki and also did a search on the forum, but was not able to locate the information about the configuration file(ie. how to enable and etc). When you have a chance, would you please provide a link.

thanks,

A work colleague just upgraded from iphone to iphone 4.
When in camera mode, if you point it at something relatively light in color, lets say white wall, there is definitely a noticeable blue-ish tinge right in the middle of the screen which then appears in the photos taken.
Anyone else confirm this ?
