i know but they should have called it 6MP not 8MP if we do the math...808 is 8.3MP HTC ONE X is 6.0MP

Of course; Even on 808 it already look nice, transfer to Note, fuyoh. Becomes brighter, more oomph and more nice.

Recently took some photos in my office, also using my colleagues Olympus PEN E-P3; Seems like the PureView photos are actually not bad comparing to E-P3, except I loose out on shutter speed as there's no control over it, I can't capture action, many blur shots, while E-P3 I can lock the shutter speed at 1/100 or 1/125 and capture/freeze most (if not all) of the action/moment. In terms of output quality, the PureView seems to produce much better color, skin tones, etc. but then the E-P3 is using the zoom lens with variable aperture, no large aperture like PureView.

So wish to have more controls on the PureView.
Of course, during the L900 event, we keep talk about the 808, but they're not keen on discussing on it. If not wrong, shifu aspire also personally voice out many things to Thomas about it.

Action shots problem? Hmm . Can post a few samples, compare with the normal P&S see how. Nvm I can record videos of sports with it.

GSMARENA low light shoot test
BTW canon is not in full power la just auto mode 

my n8 beat my D70s+ 24-70mm f/2.8 in low light   

Ya, I know that DSLR need some deep knowledge to fully utilize them, which I really worry of 
Nokia 808 was always my first choice previously (extremely portable, and features rich device), but then my siblings advice that dslr seems to be more flexible and match my purpose even better (kinda logical)
and now with dslr like d5100 and d3200 being priced so low, my heart starts itching already 
wow thanks for sharing your fruitful reviews!
Haha ya I got smartphones already, but this doesn't stopped my strong urge over 808 

The major problem that you outlined is what I've been worried of..
and I've watched some videos captured by laymen, the videos seems to have a little stuttering especially while panning around, it's indeed quite disturbing;
but couldn't deny that the sound quality is just beyond awesome (omitting wind noise drawback), much better than dslr without external mic attached! (This is also the reason that hold me back from buying dslr) 

IC.  I agree that the first shot can be improve further, but really I bought two cameras there just for comparison.  Didn't think of getting a good shots.  F717 can be set totally manual to use larger aperture for the effect, but I just left it auto really.

2nd shot wasn't perfect either, I was trying to get the 808 to focus on the eyes. Its not easy when the donkey moves.. I think this is the hard part of 808.  I guess face recognition feature cannot recognise donkey's face 

Nicely focused. Even the nose is starting to get blur.

My goodness you also got a Lumia 900?  How fun is the special effect ie. the social photo thingy?

thanks for the input!

1. I can't take the front photo..got glass cover it
2. noted...still learning when to use landscape/portrait
3. Got photo of that, but ter delete

here is another wave, need opinion

thanks sifu for the input, appreciated it
very hard to get nice landscape

about 16:/4:3, i just cant help it since 808 use full 41mp in PV mode even with 16:9

something that I still cannot do compared to sifu aspire..even with n8 i can't do "close enough" macro as what sifu aspire did..sifu aspire broke 'minimum 15cm distance macro' requirement in n8 D:
