Sample video taken with the Nokia N9 emerges

The Nokia N9 carries an 8MP camera with the Carl Zeiss brand, a logo that the German optics maker gives only after rigorous testing of the picture quality. The Texas Instruments chipset and the 8MP shooter working in tandem process HD 720p video, which is about the norm for 1GHz handsets.

Nokia also claims that the camera on the N9 is the fastest around on a smartphone, and the interface sports touch-to-focus and continuous autofocus while filming. All these merits are on paper, though - until you see real samples of pictures and videos made with said shooter, every tech detail is in the realm of theory or marketing.

Luckily, the Italians over at HDblog have captured a few seconds of raw footage from the preproduction units Nokia is sending out these days, and, from the looks of it, the colors are lively plus continuous autofocus seems snappy, making the Nokia N9 a nice pocket camcorder, especially its 64GB version.
