There is a 5 megapixel camera on the back of the phone (just like on N95) and the software barely changed since then. N96 has the same settings as its predecessors, with the exception that ISO cannot have only three values, but it can be 100, 200, 400 or 800 if we don’t use the automatics. The problem might be with me, but I just cannot interpret the software’s explanations, as there are two “high” values, both use ISO 800, but one of them is “higher”, it’s more sensitive. How can there be any difference between two same settings (ISO 800) if nothing else is changed?
Anyway, this is no big deal, let’s start taking some pictures, which is of course done in landscape mode. The first positive aspect is that focusing and exposure are surprisingly fast and storing pictures doesn’t take too much either. Camera sound cannot be turned off, we shouldn’t expect optical zoom and unfortunately the flash is made of two quite powerful LEDs, which is not suitable for covering an area larger than a standard paper tissue.
We’ve been lucky enough to have a bad weather for weeks that made us more depressed than an Amy Winhouse – Lindsey Lohan lesbian show, so the grey color is quite dominant on the test pictures. But no problem, this should be the real challenge for a good lens! Well, well… test pictures below:

We can see that N96 won’t redeem the world. We know (and this is quite sad) that the Finnish designers never really succeed in making a good first software version, but this time we can’t even say that we have a sample phone that is made for the Asian market. This handset is a European model, sold in Hungary. No, there was no foil on the lens. Yes, I have used auto mode. And yes, all pictures are as if they were taken from the bottom of a bucket of sour cream.
