Nokia N8 update adds features to rival HDSLRsThe Nokia N8 touts one of the best, if not the best, cameras we’ve seen on a smartphone. Thanks to a 12-megapixel sensor and Carl Zeiss optics, taking professional-grade photos on the go is easier than ever before.

An update to the N8 is rumored to be coming soon. With it brings 30fps video recording, up from 25fps, and continuous auto-focus. The latter is one of the most highly coveted features for DSLR users hoping to replace a HD video camera.

According to Nokia mobile camera guru Damien Dinning, the Nokia N8 will be landing the aforementioned update very soon. The addition of 30fps video recording and continuous auto-focus has one important prerequisite: Symbian Anna. “There will be an N8 specific update coming which will. You need the code from Anna though” says Damien.

    If you own an N8 and for whatever reason can’t/won’t wait for the Anna upgrade to get 720p/30fps and continuous autofocus video-capture on the device, CameraPro N8 offers those features and more.

    It’s £3 (or equivalent) in the Ovi Store, so if you don’t need CameraPro’s other features and can hang on a couple more weeks, you might be able to save a few coins…
