N97 Camera: Video Samples From Monte Carlo

As we desperately wait for June, when the N97 will become available, here are two videos taken from the N97’s camera. The videos are from a pre production N97 and are shot by Bill Perry, Sr. Services Marketing Manager for Forum Nokia.

This short video showing a very nice sailboat in the Monte Carlo marina was shot using a pre-production Nokia N97. Notice you can hear the ropes creaking as the sailboat moves with the tide.

In this 30 second clip I’m panning the camera from the shoreline to the Mediterranean Sea. Also notice that it’s been recorded in a wide screen aspect ratio.

The video quality on these was pretty good, despite this still being proto firmware. I loved the fact that the N97 was able to pick the sound of the ropes so nicely. These videos easily make it one of the best Nseries video capture devices that Nokia has made. What do you think?
