Whether it’s capturing majestic hieghts of Himalayas or the panoramic beauty of a sunset at Clifton beach, the Nokia N86 8MP will take brilliantly clear, wide-angle images that are instantly geo-tagged to be uploaded onto sites like Ovi Share or Flickr.”
Easy to use, the Nokia N86 8MP is capable of giving picture results that can impress any experienced photographer. This includes a wide-angle Carl Zeiss Tessar lens for capturing more of a beautiful scene in pictures, shorter latencies and variable aperture for super sharp photos in challenging bright and low light conditions. The fast mechanical shutter ensures pictures with less motion blur while the dual LED camera flash is powerful enough for excellent photography and video capture.
