What others said in their Reviews
Trusted Reviews said, "As usual all my test shots were taken with the camera on automatic settings. Outdoors it performed quite well as long as the subject was still. I was able to get pretty close to the flowers and whites were not, for once, dramatically over exposed. The cat shots were good too with honest colour reproduction. As soon as the cat gave even the slightest twitch, though, I got a blurred image. Indoors the camera again reproduced colours well, but photos were not very vibrant. … The SGH-D840 has some strong components: the camera stands up well, the front screen is impressive, the slider mechanism is smooth and comfortable. But in general the specifications are average, the phone is a little large in the hand and pocket, and there are no really ‘must have’ features. If you have the same trouble with in-ear headphones that I do then steer clear."
GigaOM wrote, "If you like taking a lot of photos, and don’t want to carry a separate digital camera, then the point-and-shoot features of N95 should suffice. The Carl Zeiss brand doesn’t really mean anything to me – I go by how the photos look to my naked eye. I find the quality of photos stunning. Camera is simple to use, and the built in Lifeblog software can get the photos to your Flickr account in a jiffy."
LaptopMag writes, "As a camera, the N95 takes pretty sharp 5-MP photos, but it doesn’t capture them quickly enough. We used the phone as our primary camera over a weekend, and we were generally impressed with the quality of the images, which exhibited good color accuracy but appeared a little fuzzy when displayed on our notebook’s 14.1-inch screen. Our biggest complaint is the slow shutter speed; it took too long for the N95 to take photos, even with the auto-focus locked. On the plus side, the VGA videos taken with the N95 looked excellent when played back on our notebook using QuickTime. Zooming in and out was a bit jarring, but otherwise the N95 is a good camcorder stand-in."
CNET Asia had this to say, "Another strong feature of the N95 would be its 5-megapixel camera. We haven’t reviewed the image quality from the Carl Zeiss lens yet, but the general impression of the shooter is that is has all the typical features you get on a compact digital camera. Performance was a tad sluggish with noticeable shutter lag, though that’s nothing surprising for a camera-phone."
