Nokia N82 named best mobile imaging device
Nokia announced that the Nokia N82 multimedia computer has been awarded the Best Mobile Imaging Device in Europe 2008 by TIPA (Technical Image Press Association),
“The Nokia N82 is a compact multimedia computer that integrates GPS, Web, video and music functions around a five-megapixel camera with a high-speed, f/2.8 autofocus lens,” the TIPA jurors said.
“This Carl Zeiss Tessar focuses from 10 cm to infinity and produces sharp prints up to and beyond A4 size. Several scene modes are also available to optimize the Nokia N82 for great images, whether shooting portraits or night shots,” they added.
Other Nokia N82 features highlighted by the jurors are the Xenon flash and 20X digital zoom.
“We are very excited to hear that the Nokia N82 has been recognized for its excellent imaging features,” says William Hamilton-Whyte, general manager of Nokia
“The Nokia N82 is an excellent example of how converged devices entirely change the way people contribute to and share on the Internet by combining strong camera capabilities with built-in A-GPS and an array of connectivity features,” he added.
Taking advantage of its integrated A-GPS functionality and high-resolution camera, the Nokia N82 automatically geotags images with capture location metadata, making it possible to view the capture location on a map either on the Internet or on the device itself.
When it comes to sharing, people can upload their pictures or videos directly from their Nokia N82 to services like Share on Ovi, Flickr or YouTube.
The features of the Nokia N82 include:
• Five-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and Xenon flash;
• Geotagging;
• Possibility to capture print quality photos and DVD-like quality video clips;
• Wireless LAN connectivity and HSDPA offering high download speeds; and
• Integrated A-GPS and access to maps for more than 150 countries.
The Nokia N82 supports microSD memory cards of up to 8GB which allow the device to hold up to 3,600 high-resolution pictures, five hours of high-quality video capture, up to 6,000 songs or all of the available regions for the Nokia Maps application.
The TIPA was founded in 1991 as an independent, non-profit association of European photo and imaging magazines. At present, it has 31 member-magazines from 12 countries.
