A 15 Year Old Camera Phone
Quote from Paul Wilkinson on November 6, 2022, 11:52 pmI recently looked out my old Nokia N95 phone, from 2007. For it's time, it was a fantastic phone, perfect for emails on the go, listening to music, playing games or watching videos, it also had a really good 5mp camera with semi-manual options. Like many Nokia phones, it was unique and a little ahead of it's time.
Today, I took it out for a short wander around the town, I was curious as to how well the images would hold up.
Personally, I'm happy with them. They are a little soft and the detail is lacking but I can make everything out clearly and even at 100%, I can see what everything is, like the plants on the window ledges or the writing on the signs etc.
Camera Specs:Resolution: 2582 x 1944 pixels, CMOS sensor, Mechanical shutter:1/1000 to 1/3s, Focal length: 5.6 mm, f/2.8, Focus range: 10 cm to infinity, Auto Focus, Carl Zeiss Optics

The lens seems to not have any glaring flaws, and the colors/exposures look really natural. Not like todays HDRness of smartphones, which while practical for a lot of quick snaps, doesn't usually look very natural. Thanks for sharing!
