Any examples of the pictures or video the N900 takes?
 
Just wondering if anyone who had gotten their hands on a developer version yet had any examples of the picture or video quality that the N900 takes.

On Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/mardytardi/3862538080/ there is a picture of a N900 party and the properties tag looks a little strange. Though if this is an example of a picture I hope that the reason the picture only looks good at a small resolution is because of the uploading compression the phone might do.

Anyone know if this is an actual picture from a N900?

As you wrote, it's a N900 party, and:
  • The camera reported itself as a "007 001", which does look suspiciously like an identifier that might be used by prototype hardware.
  • The camera reports that it uses Exampi, which seems quite likely for a Linux-based phone.
  • The photo's EXIP data includes GPS information, as photos from the N900 will.

So, it certainly seems possible, even likely.

The big thing I am concerned about is if the N900 Party picture is from uploaded from a N900 I hope the compression was set to high because if you look at any larger size than the default the image is very pixelated and blurry. I was hoping that the images from the camera would be on par with the iPhone at least as I am seriously looking to get the N900 and replace place my camera/video camera, phone and laptop with one device. The pictures are what would be a deal breaker for me.

I hope someone can post some examples of pictures and even video eventually that were taken by a N900.

Samples so far are rather disappointing :(

Bar shot is terrible and the other two (guys making photos and champagne bottles) are heavily downsized.

I'm happy enough with it. I just want the camera to be good enough so that I can stop carrying around my N95 and it looks like it is. Then again, I'm no professional photographer either. I just like being able to take a quick picture and have it shared online within 30 seconds unlike my wife that spends 20 minutes taking her shot, then takes it home and does post-processing for the next hour or so. ;)

And that seems to be the point of the device as a whole so...

I'd be happy like you too zerojay if it took photo's like the n95 as in http://www.flickr.com/photos/39984526@N05/3816363528/. Which the wine bottle picture looks decently close but there is no way to tell if that was with a N900. Where the N900 party pic does seem closer to being an actually picture taken and uploaded from the N900 with the camera desription and the photo's content.

Hopefully someone will eventually be allowed to show what the picture quality and video quality look like and say here take a look at these samples.

Looks like those pics are not full quality. With such a nice camera, I was expecting Point-and-Shoot quality pictures.

Me too especially with it competing with the iPhone.
