The N82 Captures A Jazz Band At The Bar


Saturday night I took the Nokia N82 black out to the Blue Dog Tavern in Long Beach, CA to see the popular jazz/blues band "Billy Watson". I didn't get as many photos as I wanted but I got some decent video from one of the songs. I am extremely happy with the audio quality I got in the video but this is one of those times I wish the N82 had a LED light for video shooting in the dark.

Check out the video below...

I had a great time that night, the Blue Moon beer was delicious and the food was satisfying. The crowd was great and as you can see the music was solid. Props to Alan West and his great drumming. The guitarist kicked ass as well with some awesome solos and leads. The N82 black got many looks from people thinking it was a camera then realizing it's a phone. It put all the LG Voyagers and iPhones in the room to shame, especially when they couldn't get reception because of the thick ceiling in the bar. The N82 was one of the only phones working.

Below are a few pictures I took. These great pictures wouldn't look better with any other cameraphone. The xenon flash shows it's true power, leaving all others in the dust. If you don't have flash enabled in your browser, click here to see these pictures hosted at Ovi.



Have you taken your N82 out for a night on the town? Are you pleased with the photo quality in poor light conditions?

by the way mike,
is this to confirm that n82 xenon canera is far superior than se xenon as in K810 or K850i?

hey miko. the pics should be showing. i'll add a link to the Ovi page where they are stored. i haven't experienced the flash on the K810 or 850i, but I've seen comparison photos and the N82 came out on top. the flash on those others made the picture too bright and artificial instead of natural looking like the n82.

glad you enjoy the pics Pedro. Thanks!
