The exposure time with night mode on S60 phones is something like a second or two ;-)

No way to set exposure time through the camera ui on N900 though

That's a shame, I found Night Mode quite useful on my N95 8gb

More to the point...

Why does my wife's £200 Samsung Jet take incredibly better pictures than my £500 N900, especially in dim light, the camera in the Jet is fricking AWESOME, pictures that the N900 can barely focus on (in low light) are crystal clear on the Jet, both without Flash being used!!

Whats holding the N900's camera back, hardware or sofware???

Any idea's..??

Answer: Software

Is the lack of even basic functionality in the camera app logged as a bug yet?

hardware. the jet is also a piece of crap when compared to better cameras. that's why one should buy a real camera if he wants to have as good image quality as possible.

I'd like to see couple proper arguments backing that up....

1. The camera is the same hardware (maybe better?) as in the N95 which was released 3 years ago.
2. Image quality on my N95 is better than my N900 across a range of scenarios.
3. Other Nokias released closer to the time of the N900 take better photos. The compression algorithms are better and the sensing used to set the appeture, exposure and ISO are better.

Regarding missing features from the Camera App: I don't need to explain myself here.

N95 was 3.5mp wasn't it? The N900 is 5mp.

Those talking about making adjustments through Sensitivity and else..They really forget about the automaticity made by the nigh mode app.
They want each and everything manually, just wanna keep touching screen for even small things.
Come on, night mode isn't gonna bring something worth to N900, just will increase the accessing time to use the camera in less lightened areas.

Starman, sorry it's hardware.

The distance from the lens to the sensor is critical. A good quality lens is very important too, again, camera phones generally suck. The physical size of the sensor is also important and generally small on camera phones & the megapixel count is largely irrelevant due to the small sensors used.
