N86 with Carl Zeiss lens

The N86 8MP comes with a wide-angle Carl Zeiss Tessar lens for panoramic pictures, shorter latencies and variable aperture for super sharp photos. 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.

The internal memory allows around 4,000 images to be stored but can be increased from 8GB to 16GB with a microSD card & the device also offers a bright OLED screen with scratch-resistant hardened glass, easy photo management, full sync capability with a PC and TV-out support for slide shows. N86 8MP is scheduled to begin shipping during the second quarter of 2009 at a retail price of EUR 375 (exc. taxes/subsidies).

First reactions from Nokia Nseries and Carl Zeiss are as follows:

“People demand mobile cameras that take excellent pictures in all light conditions,” says Juha-Pekka Sipponen, Director, Nokia Nseries. “That’s why the aperture of the Nokia N86 8MP is comparable to that of a high-quality, stand-alone digital camera. Whether it’s running with the bulls in Pamplona or capturing the panoramic beauty of a sunrise over Sydney, the Nokia N86 8MP will take brilliantly clear, wide-angle images that are instantly geotagged to be uploaded onto sites like Ovi Share or Flickr.”

"When it comes to taking the best digital photos, it’s the quality of the lens and the sensor that count, not just the quantity of pixels. The Nokia N86 8MP is the first mobile device with variable aperture, adding to the Carl Zeiss Tessar lens for excellent results. It has never been easier to capture special moments in such a great quality," says Helmut Heier of Carl Zeiss.
