Why the hell is Nokia degrading its Cameras
 

Now a days Nokia is shifting its attention from Auto-focus to fixed focus cameras, take the example of C601 and C7. Having such a wonderful 8MP cameras with fixed focus simply sux. And then carl zeiss optics no longer implemented after N900. Is Nokia going to discontinue usage of carl zeiss optics in it future high end camera smartphones

Since the launch of N95. Nokia hasen't create any revolutionary device. N900 is a great, its H/W specifications are great. But they would have made it commercial success, that would have not only benifitted customers but the company as well. But they just stopped providing support.

Whats up with Nokia's strategy?

Well, you get the picture, and nokia support nowhere to be found.

They are degrading their cameras because they have a new market strategy:

degrade the product enough and, in turn,
degrade their customer base.

They are tired of all these hackers, geeks and gadget-gurus
taking their products and re-inventing them into things
Nokia embarrassingly enough is unable to keep up with.

They have this simple 5-step market strategy:

1. build device totally unrelated to previous devices
2. market device
3. customer buys device
4. customer discards device when buying new and completely
   different device
5. abandon and renounce everything about previous devices

repeat as necessary

with none of those silly old
debug, improve, upgrade, or support commitment
albatrosses hanging around bothering people

Even N900 camera is quite inferior to 5mp of N95 camera. And well samsung wave and galaxy 5mp camera are miles ahead than nokia's Carl Zeiss optics and camera quality.

Re: Why the hell is Nokia degrading its Cameras
 

I thoguht N900 has the best 5 MP Camera of that time

Re: Why the hell is Nokia degrading its Cameras
 

Not really the N95 has a better camera imo..

Anyways, I believe the Nseries will have the better cameras.. and the others won't have the best cameras but a decent camera..

Look at the N8 for example... :D

Re: Why the hell is Nokia degrading its Cameras
 

I dont know what you're talking about

N8 has better camera with Zeiss optics and its 12mp

Re: Why the hell is Nokia degrading its Cameras
 

Yes N8 is the last candidate to have AF and CZ. After N8, C7 and C601 both have 8MP camera with none of these functionalities

Re: Why the hell is Nokia degrading its Cameras
 

Nonsense , you obviously don't know how Nokia marks his phones.

C- series are the cheapest models out there and they dont want to create internal competition with their own devices from other series

N series on the other hand are Nokia's top notch products and they WILL have the best hardware company can offer.

E- is business and X- is for youth so they might or might not have camera with autofocus etc...

oh btw Nokia recently announced that in 2011 they might release a true camera phone so I'm guessing it will have mechanical shutter and/or wide angle lense

My first post at this forum... Have used differen Nokia products since the 5110 days. From my point of view as a consumer it looks as what theonelaw wrote above. It has worked out so far. Now when coputer and phone are melting into one unit and reaching more and more the average consumer it's where the familiar and working OS is playing a key roll.

The game is on and it should be evolution from now on. Are the managers at Nokia pulling the right strings!?
