Even though it has not been released to the public and being sold like crazy, the Nokia N9 is already making waves with its high-grade features, including its 8-megapixel camera being claimed as the fastest of its class, together with a Carl Zeiss lens and autofocus. Jens Wilke, Business Development Manager for Nokia Finland, has lead the testing against noted competitors such as the iPhone 4, Samsung Galaxy SII, and even the 10-megapixel Canon PowerShot S95, and 10 other challengers from Nokia, LG, HTC, Panasonic, and ZTE.
The test and the timing were all measured not just with the picture taking process, but including operations starting from the switch, readying the viewfinder, focusing on the subject, to capturing the image. Aside from the picture quality, N9 also includes continuous auto focusing, which only stabilizes when the subject is already focused. It also has non-destructive photo editing, which makes it possible to undo edits as they are completed, a first in mobile phone technology.
