Was talking to a co-worker who has a 928 and mentioned I was thinking about the 1020 now over it because of the camera. He mentioned he'd read somewhere this morning that the only way to get the hi-res photos was if you edited the shot (i.e. crop, zoom, whatever) on the phone and then save the image. He was under the impression that you couldn't just get to the raw untouched hi-res picture that you took and eventually they just went away. That's a bit confusing, especially the last part, so I just want to make sure that what he was reading is dead wrong. (he couldn't find the article this afternoon when I was talking to him)
I was under the impression I could use it just like any other camera phone, take a bunch of hi-res pics at 38mp (depending on aspect ratio of course), and then plug into my PC to pull them off for editing later. Am I wrong? If I have to modify them first and save a copy somewhere of the original then that might push me to just get a 928 and hope its camera is decent enough for when I don't want to haul my DSLR around. Right now I don't have a point & shoot and my current cell camera sucks royally so I was hoping to get something that could fill in the gap.
