Nokia N70 camera samples

A selection of sample digital photos to show the quality of the Nokia N70's 2-megapixel camera

The main camera on the Nokia N70 shoots stills at resolutions up to 2 megapixels (that is 1600 x 1200 pixels), and it has a 20x digital zoom. Starting the camera couldn’t be easier. A lens cover sits along the full width of the back of the 70 and all you have to do is slide this down to reveal the camera lens. The main screen turns into a viewfinder, and you can simply point and click a button on the right side of the casing to take a photo. Slide the lens cover back and the camera software shuts down.

Camera settings are pleasantly un-technical - phone resolutions are described as Print (1600x1200), Email (1024x768) and MMS (640x480). There are pre-set Scene settings too, optimised for portrait, landscape, night shots and fast-moving sporting photos. You can even define your own settings by combining flash, white balance and colour tone into one easy-to-access customised mode.

A cover on the back of the N70 slides open to reveal the lens and activate the 2-megapixel camera

Our street scene at the top resolution of 1600x1200 is bright and clear, contrast is strong and even smaller details are sharp
The colours on this photo are bright despite the lack of sunlight in the foreground, and the text on the signs is sharp and legible
This image is sharp and well defined, the colours bright and there's little or no graininess, even on the darker patches

The N70's flash is ineffective for anything but close-ups, and reflects badly off the subject here. The image is generally very grainy too
Night mode's longer exposure does require a steady hand but lets in a good amount of light if you get it right
Colours are bright on our shop window sample, although the white areas look a little washed out
