hi all i finally notice the color banding thingy. it happened just now when i was out for supper, and trying to capture strong incandescent lighted object while me myself in darker area - not just the color turned out blue'ish, but also purple/blue tint at corners. i guess something to do with the lens?

it was a nice scene but sadly 808 wasn't able to capture it.

its the processor and how it handles dark areas.

can't wait for that keyboard 'fix'....

i don't mind that color patch thingy, but the white balance or color tone really...sigh...

i use swype.
looks and feels the same like on android, so no issues adapting.

photoshop, auto color

trust me, photoshop auto color will makes our fren even more unhappy because all 'warmness' will be gone

actually I use OSX built in simple editor - Preview. it worked very well and has a few highly useful parameter, particularly the exposure and color temperature which fix the color temp very well although I usually need to put the slider more than 50% to the warm side.

everything worked very fast but it's the transferring to computer part that I'm lazy with. mostly keep my photos in my phone. must overcome my laziness, as I have iPad that is batter to serve as photo album, just need to do lots of transferring.

N9 liked unlock screen. Hope can double tap to wake up the screen

if you need photoshop then you dont really need a 808. You just get a cheap android then later can edit.

yup, it is how the 808 handles dark area.. but after I update into newer firmware, the problem is still there but the newer firmware produces rather a pleasing result, by means, not that aggressive. And in the newer firmware (so far) I got no blank shots which the previous one always have. still, the banding issue is there but for me, satisfy jugak lahh lets wait for the Belle FP2 to come

Do mind that in the second picture is a bit lower light than the first picture but it still produce less blue and not that aggressive in terms of noise

edit very buruk, but in Android OK

actually, having 808 quality photos instead of lesser cameraphone makes using photoshop more sense if you are serious about photography.

Btw, fyi:

lighroom > aperture > photoshop > iphoto

Hello ladies and gents!
Just got myself a white 808 from Nokia the Curve on Tuesday.. they said only got 5 units and I'm lucky to get the last one!
No more tripod holder, and the price still maintain at 1899

Please add me to the proud owner's list!

peter - nice steady shot! i guess many point and shoot camera can't produce as sharp an image as that.

by the way, regarding the color coating coming off thingy, i'm wondering if it happens to anyone of you, will you take the trouble and go back to change another unit?

Nice sifu. Next time sifu take from in between the fire the effect will be nicer

If I have a choice I would love a side frontal shot capturing the sparks and lighting on their face from the fire... with 28mm it can be done. But really don't want to go through all that.

For more serious ppl go for camera that create raw so can adjust easily rather than manipulate
