Nokia Lumia 800: Top 10 things we already love!
Over the years, Nokia has built a great reputation as the world’s leading manufacturer of high-quality camera-phones. With handsets such as the Nokia N8 setting the standard for other smartphone cameras to aspire to, it’s no surprise to see the Lumia 800 is well equipped for photography.
With its 8-Megapixel rear-facing camera, the Lumia 800 is perfect for snapping high-quality photos wherever you go. Letting you capture ultra-sharp images up to a fantastic 3984 x 2992 pixel resolution, you can enjoy the sharpest possible pictures for printing and uploading to the internet.
Equipped with a 28mm wide-angle lens, the 8-Megapixel camera uses a high-quality Carl Zeiss lens and full auto-focus, to let you enjoy the sharpest and most finely detailed images. And with its handy 3x digital zoom, you can easily zoom in to capture every precious moment up close.
A range of great hardware and software features work behind the scenes of the Lumia 800’s camera to help you enjoy the best quality shots, with as little effort as possible. Features include automatic motion blur reduction, continuous auto focus, red-eye reduction, auto and manual exposure and auto and manual white balance
When you want to capture a great photo in low-light conditions, the Lumia 800’s dual-LED flash gives you all the light you need. And with the built-in exposure compensation features, your images will always be perfectly exposed, no matter the environment you snap the photo in.
Once your picture has been captured, the Nokia Lumia 800 automatically geo-tags the image, logging exactly where you were when you took the photo. You can then use Windows Phone 7.5’s Photo Auto-Fix feature to automatically correct exposure levels and white balance, with just a quick tap of the screen.
Once you’re happy with the finished photos, the Nokia Lumia 800’s automatic face detection technology makes it just as easy to tag your images with your friend’s names and then upload them straight to your Facebook or SkyDrive accounts - all from within the Lumia 800’s great Windows Phone interface.
When you want to record home movies, the Nokia Lumia 800 is just as capable. Recording high-definition 720p video at a frame rate of 30fps, you can capture all your memories in stunning HD-quality and enjoy them later on the Lumia 800’s gorgeous 3.7-inch AMOLED ClearBlack curved touchscreen.
And that’s not all. With Windows Phone 7.5’s easy to use Video Sharing tool, you can upload your videos straight to Facebook or Windows Live SkyDrive, or even email them directly to your contacts, making it easier than ever to share your favourite memories online with your friends and family.
Continuing Nokia’s impressive legacy of high-quality camera-phones, the Nokia Lumia 800 is the perfect Windows Phone for photo and video fans. Combining top of the range hardware with equally cutting-edge software. It’s never been so easy to capture and share your most precious memories.
