Nokia unveils N86 8-megapixel cameraphone with Carl Zeiss optics



February 19, 2009 It looks like Nokia has pulled out all the stops in delivering a potentially paradigm shifting N86 cameraphone with a camera that they claim has SLR-like optics and is good enough to replace your current compact digital one. With 8GB of internal storage, and a lens system from Carl Zeiss, this device can capture still images at 8 mega pixels, as well as 640x480 video 30 frames per second. The camera has a F2.4 aperture (so it's able to handle low light conditions) and includes a high intensity dual LED flash. Nokia is also using the internal GPS in the device to geo-tag all the photos.

Aside from is prowess as a camera the N86 is a S60 release 3 feature set 2 phone, which is the latest multimedia variant of their OS, so it supports the latest software from Nokia, including Nokia Maps 3.0 and N-Gage compatible games. The device slides both up and down, upward for a numeric keypad, and downward for multimedia controls, in the same way that the N95 and N85 do.

We're looking forward to giving it a complete test just as soon as we can get one!
