Here at Nokia's N Series launch event in Amsterdam, I got the chance to play around with all three of the new handsets. The most interesting to many people is likely to be the N90, the handset that Nokia is positioning as their top of the line camera equipped device.

The N90 makes use of very high quality Carl Zeiss optics and incorporates an auto-focus system. The sample images we saw that were taken by the N90 were quite good, approaching the quality of many consumer 2 megapixel cameras on the market today.

What really amazed me, though, was the quality of the captured video. I saw a clip that one of the Nokia people shot while on a recent trip to Tokyo. The video was of a busy intersection at night, and the quality was amazing. The high-res 352x416 display was really razor sharp, and is likely the best display found yet on a Nokia device.
