Hi all, this is my 6th post on the XpressMusic device.
This is how it looks like in camera mode. On the right you can see 5 keys. Exit, switch mode, flash, settings and options.
That’s me snapping myself with the 5800. lol…
Upon pressing and holding the camera key, the screen turns into a viewfinder very quickly. I’d say its probably 0.5 secs faster than my N82. Auto focus bracket is the same as other Nseries and the camera shutter sound too.
I didnt try recording videos with it.. but there are 2 modes in video recording… standard (4×3 ratio) and wide (16×9 ratio).. nice to play on the 5800 widescreen.
Here’s a video of the 5800 taking a photo of the N82.
Prefer to watch it on Youtube? Click here.

Hi!
Do you think the flash can be used as torch when taking video?

Don’t stop please!
Often need to clear the screen? Finger prints… etc. Isn’t it disturbing?

@smashpop, oh crap that isn’t a good thing… i guess an original scratchgard ought to do the job! i had one for my p910i, while it was very expensive, it was totally worth it!
