Pretty good quality.. Nokia isn't reluctant to improve the camera quality because they don't have any DC product lineup... Which is all good news for us, the consumer.

While the N82 shots are certainly impressive, they are of course no match to the Canon 5D. You won't see this difference on the smaller images but you definitely do on the full size ones.

Still the best cell phone pics I've ever seen though!

Excellent pictures for a cell phone. At less than 1024x768 they compare quite favorably. Above that you can see the differences pretty clearly. Very nice. Prior to this I would have said that there were cell phones, snapshot cameras and pro cameras. They've definitely moved up a tier.

Drat - you fooled me with this one! Why is the 5D image so dark?

The 5D lost detail in some of the deepest shadows. The N82 lost detail in those same shadows, but blew out highlights like crazy. It must have 3-4 stops less dynamic range, probably about 5 stops total vs. 8-9 for the 5D,

It's even farther from the 13 stops that your eye can resolve, and up to 17 stops of light available in a landscape scene.

It's a great and welcome step up in resolution for camera phones, but with the reduced light-gathering capacity of its tiny CCD it seems unlikely to produce many "realistic" looking images.
