Re: After Party: 1five2oh / 1oh2oh / nine3oh / 1C0N
People who are engaging on this project really benefit by keeping the device on 8.1 +Denim, IMHO. It simply seems to process better, speedier and with less issue than on W10M. For a dedicated camera, I see no reason to go to W10M and many to stay on 8.1.
Icon/930 and 1520 are better for speedy shot-to-shot times and have plenty of processing muscle compared to 1020. I like 1520 better for the battery endurance and larger screen. Remember that the cameras are equal. Their fault is in low light. Another strength they have in common is the ability to record Dolby Surround quality audio. But here again, the Icon/930 reports more issues with microphone than 1520 if my reading of the forums is correct...
For your use 1520 might be the best choice because of speed since kids and family shots are usually more spontaneous and the fast shot-to-shot times help. You can shoot generous 16MP or 18MP captures (depending on aspect ratio) and these are fantastic for cropping in. JPG or DNG as you prefer. The 5MP oversampled pics are generally of the highest quality as well.
There is a lot to say in 1020's favor as well. The largest capture size is immense and gives you way more data to work with post-shot. The low light capability is better. Xenon flash is very tasteful in output as compared to the dual LED of 1520/Icon/930 which tends to be heavy handed., especially close in
If you want fast as a top priority 1020 isn't well suited. It makes up for it in other ways and is great for composition type shoots.
If I had to pick just one... I'd probably say 1520. I took two long vacations (30+ days each) using the 1520 for my camera and was not disappointed. Throw in a good quality SD card and snap away. Take 100+ pics a day and don't worry about storage even with large capture sizes. It is totally dependable and capable in my experience for just the use you describe.
