I definitely didn't understand that one.

My guess is you've confused the phones.

The phone you're talking about is probably the N93, but not the N90.

Although the camera module of N90 looks like it has optical zoom (as there's room for it), N90 doesn't have this feature actually.

Zoom in N90 is purely digital

Indeed, the resulting photo is better than what you see on viewfinder.

But note i'm talking about video recording, not photo.In video mode, "what you see is what you get", unfortunatelly.

Please stick to an absolute maximum pic size of 800x600, that way the page doesn't need to be constantly scrolled left & right to read the posts on the pages that the pics appear on! ... Thanks!

Sorry, i'll be using 800x600 then.
I've uploaded the pictures using N95 and watched the results using Opera browser in the phone, and it was fine.

Hadn't checked through PC, as i use the phone to do almost everything in the internet.

I could have used lowest quality (640x480), but in N95, 640x480 pictures are just terrible.There's a high level of degradation.

speaking about that, wasn't it fixed in latest firmware?

Alb3530... Having just looked more closely at the specs of the N90, it seems that you're right, my apologies... I was sure it had optical zoom, as it uses digital zoom, the same as the N95, unless the surface-area of the CMOS detector is appreciably bigger than that in the N95, I'm at a loss to explain the difference in quality when zoomed...

re: pic size... Thanks, it's a real pain in the neck having to scroll to read the end of each sentence when the entire page expands sideways to accomodate an oversize pic! ;)

There is a hack for vbulletin that can auto resize pictures :)
