This is probably out of topic... Just curious if WP8 or Lumia1020 have options to reset/change the naming convention of the photo?

The inability of changing that in WP7 had gave me a lot of *****(1).jpg files. Not very productive IMO when you have lots of photo to sort through.

Is 1020's screen 2.5D (similar to 800's)? If so, does the screen protector works? On my 800 last time, the dust keep flying in left and right due to the curvature.

Don't forget that ability to refocus your picture is on the coming-soon list.

http://www.wpcentral.com/nokia-announces-r...and-raw-support.

I must say... after being burned with the 7->8 fiasco, this is the first time WP existing user receiving a substantial feature update for existing(Nokia) devices.

The marketplace app will automatically notify you with the update. It will "removed" the Nokia Pro Cam but your Nokia Smart Cam will remained as separated app. Your SmartCam's photo in the Picture hub however will be updated to be opened with Nokia Camera instead of Nokia SmartCam. So you can go ahead and remove the SmartCam without any worry.

Too bad now if you need to switch lenses, you have to tap on 'Menu > lenses'. Maybe I'm nitpicking here... but I found that the old switch icon is really useful.

The Focus Light setting has been moved into the 'Settings' section with the 'Set by flash, Auto & Always off' as option. Me think it's better than the 'Always on/Always off' mode of old.

Other things that have changed in Nokia Camera is: More option on timer settings, horizontal slide to zoom & ability to turn on photo review.

GDR3 + Lumia Black aka Bittersweet will bring brand new image processing algorithm to 1020. More natural colour is promised.

I wish they add more scene option to the auto mode though.

So far my screen & body still no scratches
My 2 year old Lumia 800 only have 1 tiny scratches.

Personally I'm more worried bout the camera module than then screen though. But me think as long as your don't put your key in the same compartment as your phone, or drop your phone on concrete floor/road, you'll be fine.

Surface Pro is now selling for 2.7k only. Apart from battery life (or weight)... there's no better combination in current market. My suggestion is to go for a Surface Pro with 2nd gen accessories.

You can't really compared it with Apple as it's not the same category. You should think it more to the line of ultrabook.

Btw, got any free (not pirated) software to do HDR or RAW file editting to recommend since 1020 doesn't have either of those?

The sheet that come with Xperia Z/Z1 is not a screen protector, it's actually anti-shatter sheet.

Amen to that.

Some phone camera lens are slightly depress into the chassis rather than flat on with the chassis, that why it's less prone to scratches. Just the matter of time and luck though.

I'm actually more worried on the 'oreo' section of the phone. The brushed aluminium section.

I heard this is already confirmed as a Nokia vapourware d?
But I do saw 3rd party selling simillar typed of casing.

Over the weekend, I just realized two issue with Nokia Camera.
1. After merging with SmartCam, there's no way to tell in picture hub that this photo can only perform re-framing or can perform 'smart cam' functionalities. All it shows it just 'captured by Nokia Camera'. So if you want to do editing... you have to poke it one by one to know which one is it.
2. I've experience issue with reframing that reframed shots will not be saved. A fix on this is coming though.

I took around like 200 pics in one shot in a post-convocation photo session.
Everything look alike so it's not that easy to 'spot' it out. Maybe just my problem

Thought I only have to revert to 'Smart' mode because the high-res shot was too slow for hat-throwing thingy . Shot to shot time could be very annoying some time, especially during night shot where subject is moving around.

Yellow color (or JKR street light) could appear very warm in certain scenario. WB doesn't help.

Day to day use it's perfectly fine.

Though I would hope 1520(?) and newer device would have capability of doing rapid shot like other platform have provided. Capture the right moment still more important than high res. But I won't trade this phone though

raw/dng will give you the raw data straight out from your camera sensor. With it, you could do editing with original data rather than working with the algo-processed result from jpeg. Professionals/Enthusiasts will love this because with the right knowledge, you 'may' get a better photo by having more creative freedom rather than succumbed to what the phone's can do/can't do. Jpeg is probably more suitable for us mere mortals.

You can edit raw/dng with a lot of creative tools, but Adobe is a major player in this field and major supporter of the dng format.

Globally it's yellow, white and black.
AT&T did carry red colour exclusively once.

Digi one (link for those who are curious)... does look like something else

No. Haven't heard about this on any camera.

Only KL and JB have the live traffic data...

The People hub by default will only show phone's memory/main account's contacts only. You can only view simcard's contact by importing onto the phone's memory.

The 'not showing up on people hub' is not normal imo. Got screenshot?

It's normal... the shutter actually close and reopen when you switch mode.
