Why the Nokia N8 wins the best camera phone 2010 award

The Nokia N8 is head and shoulders above every other phone on the market in terms of its camera. Not only has it the most megapixels (12 of them, or four more than all the others!), but it comes with a tonne of features that will get you taking pin-sharp pics in no time.
Just some of these features include:

• Largest sensor of any phone helps improve its performance in low light
• Super-fast mechanical shutter helps capture shots as they happen
• Powerful Xenon flash
• 28mm wide angle lens
• Built-in ND filter prevents the sky from blowing out in bright and sunny conditions
• Adjust white balance, colour tone, ISO, exposure settings, sharpness and contrast to get the best picture regardless of the conditions
• Superb Carl Zeiss lens
• Face detection
• Geo-tagging

Throw in its fantastic video performance (both capture and playback), and the N8 is a superb camera phone – indeed, the best there’s ever been.
Unfortunately, for reasons we’ve covered before in our Nokia N8 review, it’s not actually all that good a phone. If you absolutely must have the best camera phone of 2010, then buy the Nokia N8. If you just want a great phone with decent quality photos, however, then read on – there are better phones out there!
