Truth is i am kind of disappointed with the 808 pureview controls.
I am unable to utlized the 36MP and 38MP due to the scene mode is locked. I have no controls at all in scene modes. Nokia N8 and other phones i still have control in scene mode
There no close up in creative =( There no user defined setting in scene mode
Need a few days to master the controls like the distance of depth of field, how the shutter speed calculates. It's not as easy as it seems especially when so high megapixels a tiny shake = blur when zoom

Yea, if you're shooting at full resolution (38MP) and indoor, worst, very hard to get perfect sharp and no shake picture (zoom in 100% to check); but if you manage to nail the shot, it's WOW!!!
Haha yea that is my goal I want to achieve that hahaha. There a way to trick the camera to shoot 15cm and below but just afraid the depth of field might damage it.
808 Pureview is the hardest of all due to the minimum focus is too huge and megapixels too high furthermore the shutter speed very sensitive a wrong setting will immediately cause lag and photo becomes blur.

Yea, once you nail the shot, the outcome is satisfying. Just wish it had more controls like we can force the shutter speed (especially when you want to capture action). Damian did say will be looking into it after somebody request and explained it in dpreview article's comment. For JPEG, nothing much you can adjust for the WB during editing, and during capture, there's no custom WB only preset WB. But you can increase contrast, brightness, etc with the phone built-in editor, or you can adjust it in your camera settings. For those that want to edit later, usually will keep the settings to minimum to give more room, but if you don't want to edit, then you can adjust the settings to your liking (tough it may not fit every situation).
yeap once you nailed it the result is amazing. There a few times on the viewfinder the image looks nice but when captured the image become black.
The annoying part is the shutter speed there no indication what speed is it on. Sometimes it choose slower shutter speed immediately image become blur.

Sifu, your pictures are very nice lahh!
I like how the 808 handles the color. it is BOLD and accurate! definitely got bokeh effect even in the range of 2 meters from subject! (but need to look closely enough then you can see) and before this too shy to zoom, but with 808 too much zooming!
Looking forward for RAW pictures haha even the 38mp pops out a whooping 16mb. manual controls etc very2 nice PureView!! and looking forward with the conjunction of Windows Phone and PureView itself!
hehe thanks sifu and 808 need time to get used to it. Here more
