I have a Lumia 1020 and while I always thought the camera was good, I didn't quite understand why everyone praised it as much as they did, since my photos often came-out slightly blurry and the lossless zoom wasn't quite what I expected it to be. However, I just chalked it up to figuring that I had unrealistic expectations, so I never really looked much into it.
This weekend, I compared my 1020 to my dad's 1020, and my dad's 1020 absolutely out-performed mine. To keep everything fair, I kept both phones on full auto settings and I took pictures from the exact same angle and distance. His pictures from a distance looked about the same as mine, but when you zoom in, his pictures stayed crisp and mine had a lot of static in comparison.
Does anyone have any suggestions of what I should do? I called the Microsoft Store and they said that because I'm on the Developer Preview with 8.1 I should wait for the actual 8.1 release. This is the same store that also gave me this 1020 after I was experiencing the storage issue on my 920 so I don't want to press them too hard and seem ungrateful. Is Nokia or taking it to an AT&T Store an option? Should I hard reset (not preferred but not the worst thing?)
I appreciate any thoughts!
