Jason Hawkes said: “My main attraction to this project was they say that the best camera you have is the one you have on you. I don’t always have my camera equipment with me but I always have my mobile and the N8 has a 12-megapixel camera with truly amazing image quality. By its very nature aerial photography is very difficult to do, so we’re pushing the limits of this camera as far as we can go.”

Nokia: "With a 12 megapixel camera, Carl Zeiss optics, Xenon flash and a large sensor that rivals those found in compact digital cameras - the Nokia N8 enables budding photographers to capture the moment in stunning detail. In addition cameramen or women can record HD-quality videos and edit them using a unique, built-in editing suite. It also has 16GB of built in storage space, expandable up to 48GB with a Micro SD card – ideal for storing and moving pictures on the go."
