GUYS,I am considering a multimedia phone and i have these models in my mind

1.Motorola Motozine ZN5
2.Samsung SGH G800
3.Sony Ericsson K850i
4.Nokia N82 (Does it support 8 GB memory card? If yes,then which category>i mean MMC,SD... )
5.LG Viewty KU990
As you see,all these are phones with 5 megapixel camera.I want to know which is my best beat in case of taking still(with & without flash) pictures and also video capturing plus sound quality.please suggest the best within my criteria as any other specification is not that important.:(:p:p:mad:Budget is within 19000,and cant be more..................

For just capturing still images the Motorola ZN5 is the best. But if are going to record videos as well then I'd suggest you get the Nokia N82 instead.

If u want a phone for stills only then motorola zn5 or if u want it for still as well as video then nokia n82. n82 has in theory support for upto 32 gb micro sd cards. It does fine with 16 gb cards which are available now.

Go for n82

You can always count on Nokia N82 : The best All-round VFM mobile.

No, There is no light/flash support for Video Recording.

ZN5 and N82 have Xenon flash which is great for images in low light, but can't stay on long enough for videos.If videos too are important to you, I would suggest N79 which has Dual-LED flash.Sound quality is great in ZN5 and N79 both.

^^^ Already using N79 :D. I just wanted to know whether it is possible in N82 or not, cos I was feeling that I made a mistake buying N79. Well, I don't think I have.

My sister has a N79.It's camera isn't as impressive as ZN5 (my phone.:D), but it can do videos at decent resolutions and in dark environs because of LED flash.When viewed on TV , ZN5 videos appear grainy and uninispiring while N79 videos are more than watchable.Throw in the great SQ, good looks, and ultra light-weight body and you have a stunning phone in N79.Cost Rs. 19,500 here in Mumbai.

@gxsaurav- i would have got n82 instead of n79.

Hmm..those leds of n79 and n85 does help in low light/ no light situations in video recording. Though in daylight situations n82 excel in photos/ video recording over this new duo atleast with their current firmwares.

Samsung innov8 is great but way way overpriced.
Video recording is not a pro for motorola zn5.

Guys, Thank you for your humble reply.It is clear that upon my criteria..as per as still and video photography,NOKIA N82 is d favorite.It has some problems though in dark night video record,it is my pick also. A question to hellgate.....where from and how you updated the firmware v30 of your sold Nokia N82? man..this is my first multimedia set ...and i know nothing about them.. Anyone knows the answer of my question,plz answer it. THANKS.

^^^ u need not worry cuz if u buy a N82 now its surely gonna come with firmware v30.
u'll hav to be xtremely lucky if u get a N82 with v20.

rt now using a ZN5.still shots r way better than N82.in full daylight the pics dont hav much noise.also niight shots r gr8 due to pwrful xenon flash xcept a few conditions.

i got my N82 with V20 one month back . Zn5 is still good with camera stills poor video recording

@ani20042002

If u want features and good camera @ 5mp go for N82 . U need music cum camera without Xenon go for N85

Dont get too late to buy N82 , cause now some of the N82 is available with V20

V20 is fully hackable that means u can put softwares , themes , games etc @ any condition
But V30 is nokia security Edition so u can not hack any software or anything with the help of 3Rd party softwares .

if he gets v30 he's done for.

^^^ it really doesnt matter whith which fw ver the N85 ships cuz till now theres no way to hack the N79/N85/N96/5800XM.
its for this sole reason that i'm having 2nd thoughts in buying the N79/N85
