Bought a NOKIA Lumia 525 recently @ a very budget friendly price, which is about 40% of the price of Z10 off contract. This was suppose to be given for my mum use, to replace her current Xperia J. Customization is still in process to make it user friendly for me old lady.
I have good, but not great impressions on Z10 picture capture qualities. However, i find that the user interface on Z10 is still not up to my expectation. One such example, the constant autofocus, which i would much prefer to be replace with one touch focus which is available on my 9860 and 9520.
Physical camera button is a plus to be, but missing on the Z.
Perhaps some folks will feel unfair on the comparison, 5mpx vs 8mpx, low end vs mid end.
For fairness, both phones are set to capture on 4:3 ratio, scene set to auto, light sensitivity set to bright sun.
After capture, pictures are post cropped to 16:9 ratio.
