So... Appreciate that Sony tried to do something new. But what's the point when it is even larger than the RX100, which is the reason why people opted for a camera like this for portability?
Not to mention the connection is laggy and not that smooth. In my opinion, hype and idea is one thing, usability and real world performance is another thing, and the QX100 certainly didn't fair well enough when it comes to daily usage where you want your camera to turn on instantly then takes a picture in a split second. |

the idea is great but here's the thing. If you are using lower ISO for cleaner image, the shutter speed will be lower. How are you going hold it stable with just 1 hand? You guys can try. Try to stabilize one hand while using the other hand to trigger the shutter. Oh and try not to drop those expensive goods. |

Yeah, it certainly will attract a lot of people when it was announced. But if people think carefully, the usability is really quite bad and limited.

regardless how they upgrade the tech - your arms and coordination are limited.

QUOTE(goldfries @ Oct 10 2013, 01:36 AM) regardless how they upgrade the tech - your arms and coordination are limited. im never a fan of taking good images on a smartphone , if you would to say some basic images, i wouldnt mind , but if i am traveling why stop at basic images when you can actually spend a little extra on a camera (CAMERA BY ITSELF , NOT SMARTPHONES ) and use it for the next few years?  I agree with goldfries , stability is always an issue with handheld smartphones taking pictures.  |

yup. for SLR, you only only hold it with your 2 arms - you have it glued to your face!
that's why many small camera or compact camera, or those using LiveView - they're usually not that stable. Even a DSLR when on Live View isn't that stable but at least it has the weight to go with it. |

This latest nugget of news out of Nokia's big event in Abu Dhabi should be of particular interest to mobile photographers. According to @tnkgrl, aka our buddy Myriam Joire, the phone manufacturer will be bringing RAW image support to its flagship Lumia handsets, the 1520 and 1020. This will allow them to take 20MP or 41MP photos (respectively) with zero compression -- allowing far greater control over exposure, color and other settings in your photo editor of choice. The file sizes will no doubt be unwieldy compared to regular JPEGs, especially for 1020 owners who can't expand their storage (the new 1520 fortunately has a microSD slot), but we reckon the extra control ought to be worth it. Update: Now confirmed by Nokia camera developer, Juha Alakarhu. https://twitter.com/jalakarhu/status/392600438819672064 |

QUOTE(chokia @ Oct 23 2013, 01:11 PM) 41mp RAW... that could take time to process even for i7 with SSD..... too hell big. But their RAW file also need to have the correct processing software for it. Or else it will be like the X-trans sensor of Fuji all over again. |

QUOTE(t1231 @ Nov 20 2012, 01:20 PM) Hi all, I'm noob in camera, so please pardon my ignorance. you can get a good image quality from phone such as iPhone, is much portable than and camera out there~I'd like to ask if anyone here using smart phone camera while travelling? I know that a proper camera is definitely better but if budget is an issue, should I buy a good smart phone (with a very good camera), or keep my old phone (Nokia 5800) and invest the money to get a decent cam like Canon S100 or Lumix LX5. The all important question is: with the recent progress in smart phones, can it replace a mid-range camera mentioned above? |

Dude, camera is the one which could freeze ur pleasures moment....... please invest a proper camera such like canon S series ~ S100.
If those RM500 camera, believe some smart phones were on par with it. The old days i thought iphone is good enough to capture, untill my wife print it out and make photobook, the outcome was totally shit, dark, blur, n full of noise. Then i invest M43 lumix gf2, it really give me better solution, with quality pictures. It freeze my daughter times frame. And now i let go my gf2, and thinking to go for compact camera. Lazy to change lens.... hehehe.. |

Guys,
What Android app do you use to edit photos taken with smartphone? I know there are apps with fanciful effects, like adding beard. But as a photographer, what I want are: - brightness adjustment - color adjustment - crop - resize - rotate - undo |
