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.

jpg can still adjust WB during editing la...just use PS curves.
most ppl just post on web anyway, any degradation of quality also not really noticeable.

i probably don't care about contrast, brightness, and ever things like blown highlights which still happen quite a bit on 808. but if the color being thrown off, so do i.

bokehlicious, butterfly oso salivating

Erm, I mean not much, means limited, unlike RAW file.

Sometimes the photo can turn out too much brightness or too low contrast, so you see the photo like dull and less punch. Hence, why many people like "vivid" mode or colorful colors, or the default preset on the camera gives contrasty and punchy image.
My friend using DSLR always use Vivid mode as he like the vivid output and he also lazy to edit, and usually cameras tend to give warmer output as seems it's more preferred, some people even purposely add warmness to it. Asking people around and comparing two images, most of the time, people will opt for the slightly warmer image as it gives more feel and mood. So depends, if you're keeping the photos, then adjust to your liking/preference.

Anyway, as long as it can produce the output that you like. The Nikon1 on the other hand, will give you much more nice controls as well as fun in using, plus the much faster more accurate continuous focusing is pleasant to use.
808 is handy when you didn't carry you camera around.

can la...dunno if u aware or not but in curves got buttons to set white point, black point or gray point...so if u got 18% gray card in the image then easy.
anyway, going off on a irritating long journey up north tonight...only bringing my fuji x10...lazy to carry all my nikon dslr stuff

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!

I think the butterfly is drinking a water drop lol

hehe thanks sifu and 808 need time to get used to it. Here more

what best app want to snap panorama view?

amazing pics from sifu aspire.

waaah this is the true benefit for 26mm wide lens! capturing wider scene and video recording is very2 wide!
yah sifu it takes very long time to understand how 808 works.. I didn't find any difficulty in understanding N8 image mechanism (due to its simplistic setting) but with 808 it takes damn time but its worth to study it though. and the quality is like this

Didn't try that, but using the slider adjustment in LR or Picasa, changing the values will affect the JPEG image much more compared to RAW and not sure how to explain, it affects the overall picture more. Hence, why I say can't do much.


Amazing SiFu! Got show to Nokia Malaysia? Must show to them...

Sad, really wasted. Just show to them, let them see the difference and what you have done. Let them judge and feel their decision not to give you. I think providing extra one unit should not be a big problem.

waste of resource... for me it's something fishy from the PR team...
