Nokia claims N9 is ‘the fastest image-capturing phone’ yet

We’ve already established that the N9 is a delight of a phone, both in and out, but our hands-on time with Nokia’s new flagship gave us just a brief have a look at its camera performance. Now the corporate is graciously filling that gap in our knowledge with some further disclosure about its new 8 megapixel imager, including the lofty claim that the N9 is the fastest phone yet in terms of capturing a picture — ousting the likes of the iPhone 4, the Galaxy S II, or even the Canon S95 , perhaps the proper pocket camera around right now. Measuring the time taken from activating the camera app to the completion of the primary shot, the N9 clocks in at 2.6 seconds, whereas Apple’s latest does it in 3 seconds and Samsung’s takes a split second more. Apart from its speed, the N9 has Carl Zeiss optics, a large F2.2 max aperture, dual-LED flash, continuous autofocus, and a 720/30p video mode to boast about, however the benefits of these items might want to be experienced first hand. So Nokia, when are you shipping this thing?
