The Nokia Pureview 808 takes better pictures than the Canon S100 or any "proper camera up to a price tag of about RM1500. This is partly due to the large sensor in the 808 (1/1.2"). Most compact cameras with tiny sensors will almost always perform much worse than the 808 in low light, producing blurring and grainy pictures with lots of noise when compared to the cleaner images from the 808 in similar conditions.

The iPhone is of course a crap phone when it comes to photography, only the older ones such as iPhone4. The iPhone5 and newer models are capable of good images in good light. They only fail in low light.

Let's face it. Most cameras take good images in good light with minor differences between them. The not so good cameras usually fail in low light due to tiny sensors.

Haha great pic!

saw QX1 yesterday in sony store...preorders going on now.
too bad i got no need to maintain a 3rd lens system...

at the price, better buy a cheap small DSLR

It boils down to personal preference

There is no right or wrong

I used my xperia tablet z a couple yrs back when i traveled to europe coz i also used it as map, surfing and reading ebooks

Any suggestion for a good handphone to take a decent picture? Personally,i want to buy compact camera,but to reach my requirement it cost a lot of money. So better alang2 upgrade my handphone...

Depends on what you planning to shoot. If you only want to shoot scenic views, pretty much all flagship cameras (iphone, LG G3, galaxy, xperia, nokia pureview, etc) can take more than enough decent pictures (in good light of course). If you want to learn more about camera control, nokia would be my preference. Nokia lumia 930 for example, allows manual focus, ISO and shutter speed (no aperture control unfortunately).

However, if you want more versatility and may shoot a lot in lowlight, dedicated camera (dslr, mirrorless or high end compact like RX100 and LX100) is better.

Most Samsung, iPhones, Sony can take decent photos..what's your budget?

Around 1k. But personally,i prefer compact camera.. With have advantages like dslr where u can control the iso,aperture something less like that la.. Dslr is too bulky for me and already sold it...

M4:3 camera may seem appropriate. Camera like E-PM2 is an old model but last I check is around RM1200 last year, though may be out of stock in most store already. Try checking E-PL series. Or RX100 MKI, officially ~RM1500 but should be able to get it cheaper elsewhere.

Anything less than <RM1k, might as well upgrade your phone.

Any mobile phones shoot in RAW? RAW does make a difference in editing and there are compact cameras that do shoot in RAW. But not too sure about mobile phones these days.

Take a read
TL;DR - They claim Lumia 1020,1520 and Lollipop (Android 5.0) Nexus 4,5.

Fuuuuuu...the amount of memory it'll require by shooting RAW. And nexus doesn't have expandable memory if I'm not mistaken.

Just shoot RAW when it matters lo. Normal day photography guna JPEG enough.
And of cause save it onto the computer, RAW just gobble down space.

I wonder what happened to this?

Failed product result of half-assed effort and only to milk the s4 series. Lol.
Doomed to be obsolete since software support seems to be getting cut off.

Or upcoming Panasonic's Lumix CM1 if you can pay more.

IMO, it's a good idea gone wrong sonewhere along the line. I actually have a friend using this but I don't see him carrying it lately. gonna tease him about it.

Anyway, remember the first tablet made by HP? Look at the progress of a tablet now.

Don't follow tablet news a lot.
And I absolutely loathe people taking photos with tablet, looks so clumsy.

Lol..I share the same sentiment. For sone, it's their primary camera.
