N95 will not match a canon 30D or a nikon 70D, it will not be even close, but N95 will be able to match a lot of those digicam the likes of sony dsc-t1, canon ixus, nikon coolpix- those cameras that are at the price range of U$150 to 350...
N95 will not be able to match video cams like Canon LX-1 camcorder or GL2 and others, but it will match any camcorder in the price range of U$350 to 500, the likes of canon MV940 etc...
N95 will easily match any ipod, perhaps even beat an ipod in terms of sound quality...
N95 will not be able to match a garmin that cost U$400 to 700, but it will match a garmin Ique M4 or any other gps sw that runs in Win PPC etc...
now let see if your ixus, ipod, garmin can make a call... or surf the net... send a sms/mms... view and edit ms office files...
if you think along this line, then you know whay the N95 will beat the crap out of iphone...
