@mikecomputing if the camera/image quality is at the top of your list (above the OS or the sleek looks) then you should have looked at other options. you can't expect much from the N9's sensor as there's nothing really special about it other than the aspect ratio thing. the N9 has a different selling point. had nokia given it the N8's sensor then that would be a totally different story, and a totally different and incredibly more absurd sky-high price.
