In situations with sufficient light, you will not have many problems with the well-known shutter lag. Even reasonably fast moving objects can be photographed, as long as you press the release button on time. In situations without sufficient light, it becomes nearly impossible to take pictures without any movement blurring. The effective range of the flash is limited; subjects have to be within about one and a half meters of the camera to get sufficient exposure.

Nokia 5700 XpressMusic - Image Quality
In general, the quality of the pictures of the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic can be called good. In situations with sufficient light, the photos look good and the colors are lively. Unfortunately, the dynamic range of the camera is limited, which makes it hard to capture subjects with large differences in dark and light; the lighter areas are often too light and the darker parts too dark. Pictures taken in the dark, show high noise values; often to such an extent that the photo can hardly be recognized.

You have a choice of possibilities for the settings; besides the Panorama, night and serial mode there is the possibility to set the self timer and the flash mode. In the advanced menu you can set the image resolution, quality, date and place where the photos should be stored. Besides this, you can adapt the photo’s white balance and the color tone. In the video mode, you can set the night mode, video resolution and the length of the recording. The camera in the Nokia 5700 can manage most challenges by means of the setting possibilities, but like I described earlier, the camera has problems with certain capturing situations.

Nokia 5700 XpressMusic - microSD
There is a possibility to extend the memory of the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic with a microSD memory card. There’s a choice of different cards with different speeds and capacities. We chose the SanDisk 2GB microSD memory cards on account of the stability and speed of the SanDisk cards. You could also choose for the 2GB microSD Memory Kit. This way, you won’t just have a microSD but also a microSD adapter and microSD to SD adapter. There are various possibilities to transfer the data from the microSD to a computer. A good choice for this would be the SanDisk Mobilemate SD +5 in 1 card reader; it is a very small device and thus easy to bring along.
