More pictures and videos taken by Ewan

While the first picture is some what amazing, every picture after that is a little disappointing to me. Difficult to see where the focus point is, and the colors seem washed out. What really annoyed me however was the video. Ewan probably has some shaky hands, but it could also just be the N93 is so light compared to other video camcorders that it throws your equilibrium off.

I used to hang out with these skate boarders across the street in NY and they would ask me to film them every weekend. Rich kids had a Canon GL2. It was heavy, and I liked that. Weight issues aside however, how difficult would it be to include an image stabilization lens system into an N93?

What I really want to know is when there will be an N series devices that can record HD, because this little hand held unit from Sanyo is amazing. I would much rather carry that around + a Nokia 6300.

    Actually there is video stabilisation on the N93. But it’s total rubbish! Honestly, it’s a complete mess – I’m going to post about it later today.

    D’ya know what, Stefan, that video I took — the one where I was walking — was with the image stabilisation *ON*! I deliberately walked to see how the function worked.

    It’s much worse when switched off.

    Whoa are you serious! They need to work on that “feature” then
