820's camera...

[Sanjay Chandra]

I feel that pics on 820 are little "too" saturated.

Some people like punchy colors , but Nokia "overdid" it.
(This pic is from GDR2/GDR1)

Let me show you the example : (Lumia 820 and Galaxy S4)

This is the closest pics I have , I don't have 820 anymore to compare equal shots.

In worser light conditions camera is not good, especialy if you try to make photo quick. Than you get results like this:

If you take a bit more time you get this

Those pictures were taken today with automatic settings with Microsofts OEM camera.

The results are always too grainy. It's like they are coated in sandpaper.

Have you tried the Nokia Camera app keeping the ISO restricted to lower values ?

Yup, first Picture is out of focus and no, I didn't try to change ISO settings because I was in a hurry. You can do Quite good night shoots with Lumia 820 IF you take time. But if you want to make Picture just point and shot, well then Picture might come out bit odd.
Anyway, today was a good day . Why ? Because I found my 2nd Nokia. It is Nokia 6220 Classic which was lost for about 2 years and a half. And what is so special about this phone ? It was my first phone with great camera. Before I had Nokia 5200 with VGA camera, with which I was feed up in less than 2 years so I wanted something with good camera. So I bought this phone. It had 5 MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics and Xenon flash. It was bought in February 2009 but was presented a year earlyer on MWC 2008. In following days I will do quick comparison how far has camera come or fall in well, 4 years and a half.

There is N82 lying around but it stopped working. (it had xenon flash as well)

Nokia made some awesome camera phones back in 2006-2008.

Will the 8.1 update sort out the camera problems? (green tint and soft edges)
Edit:-
Installed 8.1! The green tiny is noticeably less now.
