The N85 does look smoother but what's up with the sky and the white balance? I think that looks better on the N96. Oh and is that at the basketball courts behind prep? I haven't been there in a long time. How long ago did they get fixed up?

PJ, yup this video was taken at St. Francis Prep. I'm not sure when they got gixed... I'm sure Guian know.

I personally think the N96 is taking better video. The audio sounds way better it sounds a bit tinny on the n85. And yeah what's up with the sky and white balance?

There's a really big difference with the colors too I notice. Was the n85 more accurate?

Video was taken at sunset and the N85 was more accurate showing the yellow tint.

hei mark pls make a video at night with the dual led on and night mode off with the n85.

The video looks smoother on N85, and the colors seems more real also, but the "yellow sky" ruins all the pluses N85 might have against N96 in this particular sample. More samples please? :D

for video, credit goes to n85, but audio i prefered n96, more clearer and louder, n85 is more likely the fm quality......

The best answer man

i prefere the n96 video quality

My vote goes with the 96.

I like the n96 better also.

i'm sorry to say, but i didn't find either of the videos to be impressive at all.

i bet a cannon lens will out perform that carl zeiss

hey mark i guess some are going with the n96 because of the colors in the video however i think you're the only one who knows which one is more accurate depending on the time the video was taken. the n85 seems to be smoother and slightly better quality that's why i'm going with n85

if we full screen the video, n96 looks clearer. damn, i want n85 to be the perfect phone.

n85 dude,, the best^_^

The N96 video is better, also the audio .

if you play both together in sync daam man the N85 is so smooth....i wanted N96 to be better but in like every way Nokia has messed up the N96...but i'm still gonna get it, the colors and audio on N96 are way better though but the N85 smoothness kinda over powers it all.....for some reason it feels like N85 has more frames?? both are ment to be 30....but i read in like a million places the current fw for N96 is 15 fms....

Hello,

I also think that it seems like N85 has a higher frame rate than N96. But sensor on N96 seems superior because it has no blooming, unlike N85 which has a lot (look at the sky and how whiter pixels spread around to make the basket and the top of the trees overexposed). N96 audio also is better. It seems that N96 sensor has more potential if they fix the frame rate issue.

But none of them are very impressive :(

The n96 has video stabilisation. If you put it on it would be alot smoother.

N85 is the BEST...

oh come on, i am all for the n85 but video quality of the n96 is just better, and the sound is just excellent.

N85 looks like lower resolution, blurry, worse colors, the only thing is that the n85 is a little more fluid

I like the nokia N96 better, the colours and the audio are better

You idiot, its not smooth because video stabilisation isnt on. you need to turn it on because its off for default. N96 way better.

Try to sync play the video guys, you can clearly see the n85 is more fluid. The white balance and stuff might need to be adjusted though.

As for the sound quality difference that just depends on how he was holding the cameras at that time. If anything he might've been closer to the n96, I'm not too sure...or it could just be that the n85 has crappier sound.

So I just guess it comes down to quality sound with reduced frames (n96) or higher frames and lowered sound quality (n85).

But the white balance and stuff is an issue too but that's just personal preference to prefer more yellow at sunset or white.

But form factor and sexiness goes to the n85 IMO its just something that'll easily slip into and out of your pocket.

The N96 has much more detail and the picture seems more stable. N85 looks lower fidelity. I still prefer the N85s battery, fm transmiter and form factor :-S Seems they skimped on the N85s av components a bit though :-(
