The 5 megapixel digital camera with Carl Zeiss optics, dual LED flash and video light captures sharp, clear photos and video that can be edited immediately, without the need for a Personal computer. Photos can also be geotagged to specific locations. What's more, the Nokia N79 cell phone comes packaged with a 4 GB microSD memory card that makes it possible to store around 3,000 songs, approximately 2,500 photos and up to four hours of DVD-quality video clips that can be organized by user albums or tags and uploaded directly to Share on Nokia Ovi or third party services. The addition of a sliding lens cover helps protect the top-quality Carl Zeiss camera lens when not in use.
