I haven't had a Cell Phone since 2004. Last week I picked up a Nokia Lumia 521 for $65 off contract and pay $35 every month for service to T-Mobile. Cheaper than my damn land line, and more reliable funny enough.

Anyway, I set everything on auto and took a first picture using Creative Camera of my trusty knife of 15 years

Didn't know it could focus so close

I took this picture at a restaurant after I had Cherry Coke. I dropped one of the cherries into a glass of water and let Creative Studio work all of the magic, although I adjusted some of the settings (shutter speed, brightness, ISO) to make it look more dark since it was lunch time.
Full Auto:

Adjusted Settings (1/30, ISO-100):

Took this the other day on one of mine and my daughters daily bike rides to the park to let her ride her bike.

Should've used a tripod...

Do you trust that holder. It made me remember the Escort radar detector I mounted on my Norton. I hit a bump and it flew off at 70 or so. It did survive but got moved to the inside of a tank bag. That rig probably saved my license and wallet because it prevented dozens of speeding tickets.

 

[Guytronic]

I do trust it.
We're talking fat tire grandpa bike here 3mph max.
One thing I don't like about the holder is the thumbscrew can push in and indent the back of the phone.

This thing is more for tripod use.

**Glad to know you skated on the tickets.
The 'ole radar detector was a must back when I had the 03 Mustang Cobra :evil:

 

[calfee20]

That detector still works. It was the best electronic device I have ever bought. I bought a Toyota Tundra in 03 and its happy speed is 65-70 so I just don't use it anymore.

The Nokia camera is one amazing piece of silicon. on my 521 I can set the ISO to about 400, and the picture to 4 seconds. (okay I know that's real slow and takes a real steady shot). But I was amazed, and a little freaked it literally filled a very dark room, with full exposure light. (beyond what I could see with my natural eyesight)... I've never seen any thing this capable in a phone. The 4 seconds is extremely long -- I get that, but the fact they can take a dark room and fill it to near daylight with that exposure, is awesome.

Thought I'd give the 'ole 521 a go after the Cyan update.
All pics taken with the default camera in close up mode.

This 521 has been idle for about 4 months and it fired right up with about 60% battery and started updating.
Probably won't be using it much if at all.
My other unused 521 is still pristine on the Amber firmware.
