Ghetto fabulous? Yeah i don't get that lol
Im sorry, the pics remind me of my walmart. Great thread though thanks.
Yeah the pics are lacking blood and tasers....quiet shop you went to.
Just wonder, with people on here not happy with the camera/videos, how many of us have got in touch with Nokia to voice this? I have been on live chat and sent messages, the reply I get is "oh you are the first to mention this" I think it would be wise for all these not happy with the photos/videos to contact Nokia, nothing will happen if they think we are happy with how it is.
The "auto" mode hasn't been particularly as good as it is on something like iOS, but Nokia has been slowly improving it.
Yeah, as you said, the white balance here isn't particularly great. Just messing with the first image for a half second, it looks much better compared to the original on the right. (All I did to it was press the "auto-level" button. It literally took a half second. Would be great if this magical button was available on Windows Phone somehow.)

As for the indoor shots, there's too much post-processing done by the G2. There's more aggressive noise reduction, (with the 1520 you can at least see the stitching on the arm of the couch in the first image, with the G2 it's a muddy blob of nothingness.) The G2 chooses a warmer white balance, which looks better, but the image quality looks like "VGA camera from 2007 flip phone" bad. The 1520 isn't that great either, but the sharpness is at least more desirable. The 1520 is a better camera all-around, just not when used in auto-mode. That will only improve though, as has every Pureview device since, well, forever. My 920 has the worst Pureview camera, but it's a pretty great camera on auto.
Also, "black Friday" was pretty relaxed. (At least up here in Maine.) I went to Target 15 minutes before they opened, behind at least 1000 people, and got in within two minutes of opening. Nobody pushed or shoved; nobody ran. Could've been there a half hour later and still gotten everything I wanted. Everyone was smiling and happy, someone even brought cookies. I then went to BestBuy, Wal-mart, Gamestop, and a whole bunch of other places, and it was the same story. Have to say, for my first "black Friday," I was expecting more carnage. Oh well. Guess that aspect of it is blown out of proportion, (or we're just a very polite state.)
Yeah when i take pics lately I've noticed that when I hit auto fix in the editing it makes it come out much better.The "auto" mode hasn't been particularly as good as it is on something like iOS, but Nokia has been slowly improving it.
