thanks bro. i better wait for senq or harvey norman then. the charges is too high

i also prefer without grip. afraid that the battery will flat if the grip idle for too long

you mean the phone's battery or grip's battery?
if grip's battery, you can turn it off by press & hold the battery button on the grip until the LED flashed

Got myself a powerbank today for my Lumia 1020..
It is power hungry little boy..

yeah, i mean the grip battery. then it would be good.

haha.. only pay attention to play ur phone and never read the camera grip manual

bro, is the martin fields SP smooth when u operates the phone? i mean is there any "sluggishness" or not smooth when u swipe the SP?

no la, i am not owning the device yet. waiting it drop till my target price.

Would agree that the camera grip is just a travel accessory. But could use the extra juice though. The 2000mah phone batt isn't enough

I wonder how many people did just throw away the grip manual without reading it

Hmm.. Zoom.It isn't working, and I'm too lazy to resize these Click on the View Original Link on top to see the 36MP pic

Thanks for that, we can get some peace and quiet for a few days.

Bro you are from Ipoh? Let me know too if you found such deal in Ipoh haha...

Need to login Skydrive only can see? lol
Why don't you guys use Flickr? It is much easier to manage the full resolution.

got app/plugin to share thru flickr easily?

Eh.. thought I enabled the no login mode for sharing.. let me go check. Too lazy to make an account

Eh.. can view without login what! I see you're lazy to click and find out too. It's the full 36MP file, If I resize I can embed it straight, but I don't want to do that.

I have no idea. I do not have a WP8 phone.
But it's very easy to share full reso pics from my 808PV.

Weird. It needed login. I did click it to find out...if not I wouldn't know what.

Finally got time to test the camera and now abit less intimidated to post here since i m no photography expert
posted below are resized 5MP version to fit the forum, 100% crop if from 5MP. No editing except the downsizing and cropping.

Thoughts on Lumia 1020 camera
From a person who has been using Pureview 808 for long time, I think Lumia 1020 is definitely worth the upgrade if price is not an issue. There are clear and very noticeable improvements in term of overall operation and focus speed, colours, bokeh, sharpness and especially lowlight performance, thanks to f2.2, BSI and OIS. Although missing the extra settings in 808 (eg. ND, sharpness, saturation controls), 1020 still managed to produce higher percentage of sharp in-focus photos with good colors rendition for me than with 808. For those who never bother doing any post-processing on desktop, Lumia 1020 photos is ideal as they can be used without much further tweaking with the higher saturation and sharpening compared to conservative 808. They might looks Samsungy oversaturated on screen because the default screen colour is boost up ala Xperia Bravia engine. On desktop, they just looks about right.
Will test night shots when I have the time soon.

Thoughts on WP8
This is my first WP experience and I have only one thing to say - aesthetic and UX/UI-wise, it's at least 5-year ahead of iOS7. Love the minimalism, suits me as a designer perfectly. Despite the imperfection when comes to features and apps, the simplicity and typography win me over.
