Lumia 1020 front camera

[Medo0]

Hey everyone, I've ordered a Lumia 1020 today (yayy!!) and everything was going alright until I read somewhere on the forum that the ffc of the lumia 1020 isn't so good. Is that true? Cause I'm kind of a ... selfie guy lol. Pictures would be great!

if we're talking about the 1020, it's all about the rear camera

the front-facing camera is quite good, in my opinion
not the best, but still good enough

and oh, it's wide-angle

Can you please provide me with some photo samples? Of the front-facing camera of course

The color on the front cam is terrible, most of the time.

That is solid for a front cam, but try something indoor, with non perfect lighting. You've shown this front cam with about as perfect scenario as it gets.

Not hating, just wanna be fair. I own the 1020, 90% of the time, front cam is bad. If your constantly outdoors, in the sun, its perfectly acceptable.

I've noticed, indoors, the entire image has a green cast over it. Shadows especially.

Most people use front cams for selfies, in bars, restaurant's, house's with friends, etc... You'll be disappointed.

Dammit! I'm disappointed already. But it couldn't be as bad as the Lumia 900's front camera! Could it?

Nope, unlike that device, the 1020's front camera doesn't get filled with a ton of dust.

I hope it doesn't!

Actually I might be misremembering anyway. I don't remember if it was the 900 or 920 that ended up covered with dust inside the lens of the front facing camera, but it was one of those.
