Introduction

It seems there’s more to Nokia N8 camera than what meets the eye on the marketing materials. That’s why we turned to a seasoned professional over at Nokia to tell us a little bit more about the technical aspects of Nokia N8 imaging and video capabilities.

Some of you have probably heard of Damian Dinning (pictured right). As Senior Manager at Solutions Planning he has played a key role in projects developing the imaging experience and the camera/video quality for high-end products such as the Nokia N95, Nokia N73, Nokia N82, Nokia N86 8MP, among others, and currently he’s using his expertise in the making and fine tuning of Nokia N8 camera.

Along with all that Damian is also a wonderful interviewee and you’ll see there’s a lot you can learn about the N8 and cameraphones in general from him.

We don’t normally do interviews but Nokia N8 is easily one of the most interesting devices this year and it currently tops our popularity charts scoring record high interest from our readers.

But getting back to the business at hand, here’s the full transcript of our interview with Damian. We hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we did.

GSMArena: Damian, our team has always had a soft spot for capable cameraphones so we’d love to learn some more technical details about the N8 camera. Nokia N8 marketing materials are staking a lot on the large sensor size so let’s start with that. We’ve been trying to guess the exact size, but it would be nice to hear it from you as an official source.

Damian Dinning: The optical format is quoted as 1/1.83″.
