You are right, it depends on the expectations. Also depends on what you are comparing it to. I think DPR is comparing it to other smartphones and not cameras/camcorders. Perhaps you would be better putting in "...for a smartphone." after each conclusion they make would set your expectations a...

Why do you say that? I would expect the issues we are seeing is primarily software and not really hardware related. yes the pixels are smaller, but they are BSI, so they don't have a screendoor effect on top of the larger pixel. Lens is a wider aperture, so more light in general can hit the...

Yes, I notice this too. It looks like the initial preview is some kind of raw image, then the processing takes over. What would be nice is if the 38MP image is left unfiltered in as raw format as it can, then the 5MP applies the processing. That and inclusion of processing settings would be...

Perhaps possibility for these types of accessories in the future. Cases that support wireless charging w/o compromising protection? As long as the was the case and the phone communicate with each other is standardized so more companies can use it.

Either a sticker or a case that has the charging built in would be cool. Like a slightly larger encompassing charging cover.

Hmm, I got mine from the Bellevue MS store. I saw some people get the 10$, but mine didn't. I also heard that the display settings has an update that enabled peak option. The bellevue square store didn't have charging covers though.. I will have to check on the 10$ credit tho.

Right, that's what I thought, but the tile doesn't show anything, nor does the app itself. Is there a way to force a refresh?

Thanks, I didn't know that settings were apps too. Along those lines, how do I tell how many apps need to be updated? the Windows store app never shows any app that needs to be updated, only if I open that app from the store does it say update.

I saw that the Glance feature in some of the videos had the Peak option. I don't see that there in retail models. Is that no longer included?

Also, Have you tried the new bracketing feature added this morning? Since it takes a while for shot to shot times, wondering if that holds true when bracketing the 3-5 shots in this mode.

How fast does the 1020 charge from empty? the HTC One supported fast charge, but had it disabled in the kernel to preserve the life of its non removable battery. The S4 charges really fast at the full 2A speed. How does the 1020 fare? Mostly wondering if I can plug in a dead phone and be at...

GSMArena lists Contrast ratio as infinite for both the 1020 and S4. What I see they lack is brightness, which is what I think you meant. That's the numbers that are lower than the other two phones. Not sure why that is, perhaps a thicker screen to transmit light through? What's also...

Very true! That's why I don't really read them for the conclusion and score since we have no idea what criteria they use. Mostly just see them for detailed explanations and and controlled environment samples for me to gauge by my own eyes. I'll definitely be looking at the samples posted in...

It would be really nice if they patch the 1020 to support this eventually. I'm all for more adjustable settings. Mostly, I'd like to adjust the Sharpness and noise Reduction.

Dang, so kids corner needs a passcode? why? Isn't the corner so kids can't mess up the phone or get access to things they shouldn't be? If they need to enter your pass code to get into that feature, what is the value add in that? They could then just get into your regular phone too, right...

Yes, there is an option to save only the 5MP image, or both large and 5mp image in the camera settings.

Ahh, was just thinking the same thing in another thread. Can anyone with a WP8 phone verify with the smart cam app in kids corner? That should be treated the same way as the pro cam.

Hopefully. Will see more samples and reviews I'm guessing. So far it does look like they are all positive, but I'll probably want to wait for one of the more respected photography review sites to get their full review in though. Most interested in comparison. Only thing I saw in another...

I'm actually disappointed to hear this. I would be hooking this up with my corporate exchange email, which has a password policy. I wanted the Pro app to be the default and be available for lock screen quick photos too. :(

Well she does get her work published in magazines and gets paid for weddings, so some people I guess would like her enough to pay for her work :) Regardless, If you look at the reviews at connect.dpreview.com, they are pretty detailed and their results do make sense. In the 1020 preview, she...
