I thought the Lumia 920 did really well. I didn't see to much problems with the photos. wouldnt stop me from buying it
Nokia set itself up by calling the 920 a Pureview. As such, each photo shoot will have to include the 808 benchmark. So, I will say, "Despite that, the 920 did very well..."
Against more "typical" phones, the 920 did outstanding. I'm excited.
Not to mention most indoor party/family type pics, where a flash is disruptive, and uneven. Plus, no more red-eye.The 920 will be really good for sunsets/sunrises ... you can capture a lot of detail in the dark areas, like foreground .. very nice.
I can't wait to get mine.. I still can't decide on yellow or red...

For her circumstances though, is it better than iPhone 5? Not everyone will want a large phone (as the poster stated) with the higher weight of the Lumia. If the camera isn't seen as on par with the iPhone 5, what advantages does the Lumia 920 have for her? That's the questions that need to be answered.
You can do it.. we can help Tell her that the 920 has a real wide angle lens (which is true) and it will make it easier for her to capture those group/family/friends shots... and even better, it will be easier to do so in low light!I would have to “sell” her on another phone.
posted the link earlier, i did look around first before posting!That is the first review I've seen where some scientific thinking was applied... actually, where any thinking was applied. Good comparisons in controlled environments with a good selection of challenging scenarios stressing different capabilities. Well done! Thank you for the heads up theefman! I would recommend putting that in a separate thread so it doesn't get lost here.
The odds of me upgrading my Titan II are very, very slim but I have been trying to get my wife to experience WP. She is currently using an iphone 3gs. Neither one of us are in a contract, and she has been thinking about getting a new phone.
I have been mentioning the 920 because of the camera, as she does take a lot of pictures.
All this talk does hurt her decision, as the camera was the main selling point. Please understand that she is not a fan of any device. The iphone 3gs was her first smart phone and the only one she has used. Her natural progression if we decided to pay (we try to keep devices until they die) for an upgrade, would be just to get another iphone. The 920 was a phone I was hoping to get her, but the negative reviews of the camera probably changed that. I also know, for her, the bulk of the phone was going to be an issue, but the camera was the #1 selling point.
The issue is, the images would probably be great for most, and for her, as she does not zoom in a crop. She takes a picture and saves it. With the reviews though, which the average person sees, will turn people away.

Product Face-Offs Digital Cameras : Olympus Stylus XZ-2, Nokia Lumia 920, HTC 8X, Panasonic Lumix GH3, - DigitalVersus
HTC 8X shows far better details and sharpness than Lumia 920....
Lumia 920 take smearing, blur image at ISO 100, too strange
Still can't believe it....
I have seen and used a prototype of the phone (Nokia Lumia 920). My views on the phone are:
Pros:
- Excellent camera
- Image quality is superb, better than any other android phone/iPhone
- Picture quality under low light in amazing
- Touchscreen really works with gloves and I personally tried with a 2 layer thick jacket as well, and it worked every single time
- Audio quality is good
- Design of hardware is good, I like the shape and looks
- Display is good
- Image stabilization is unbelievable. I did a small comparison with other phones just to see what the hype was about IS.
Cons
- Little heavier than current Samsung phones in market
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
I am also getting a Lumia 920 within two weeks, but the image quality is worrying me.
All the photos taken with Lumia 920 seems to be average, worse than SGS3 in day light scenes. I am hoping that this is a software related issue, due to the noise reduction we lose all the sharp details, the image quality becomes muddy when sized 100%.
All i can do is hope that Nokia brings a software update for better JPEG algorithm in day light images.
It is a software issue because Nokia rushed too much to release it and I am convinced tha Nokia will resolve this issue within weeks and come up with a new firmware
