N86: Day 8. Wide Angle Photos
One of the big selling features of the Nokia N86 8MP is the wide angle lens (28mm equivalent). What difference does this make in practice? When I first heard of the specifications of the N86 I was convinced that the wide angle lens and 8MP combo would put the N86 streets ahead of previous Nseries devices. The capacious nature of this lens/chip setup makes the N86 the most flexible camera phone I’ve ever used. Yes, I was expecting the N86 to be more than capable in many situations, but I had assumed that there would be considerable lens aberration at the edges of the frame
