Re: Lumia 920 can take sharp pitcures with app
right, tested it. Camera Easy does sharpen up the images slightly. A bit better than the standard camera!

Re: Lumia 920 can take sharp pitcures with app
I too want to reiterate what the OP is saying here: THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE OF SHARPENING THE IMAGES.
This is an issue of the standard camera either not capturing information or basically corrupting the information from the sensor, wiping out fine detail completely. Since the information is not in the photo (i.e. not just hidden behind poor rendering) no post-processing can ever fix the picture. The Camera Easy app, however, allows the photo to retain the actual information that the sensor captures. With those pictures, you can sharpen them further, or pretty much do whatever you want with, because most of the information is actually intact.
Needless to say, I have the exact same issue. I also didn't want to wait for the OTA update and installed various versions of the Portico update on Nokia's Navifirm servers and the pictures do not improve. This is true of the Belgium Proximus, unbranded Belgium, unbranded Hong Kong and T-Mobile Germany updates on my phone.
Could our phones be defective? Maybe, but if so, why is Camera Easy doing so well with the hardware we have?
I'm at a loss to explain this, but needless to say, the failure of the Portico update to fix the camera on my 920 leaves me very disappointed. (Lastly, I should mention that my phone is Swedish unbranded - 059Q9H4 RM-821_CV_Sweden...White.)

Re: Lumia 920 can take sharp pitcures with app
How do you get the pictures off the phone to do a comparison ? They just disappear when I save them to the gallery and they don't show up using the file browser when connected to a pc ? But just by flicking between the apps the easy camera app appears to have more noise, which probably means it's just sharpening the pictures more.
edit; After taking a few outdoor pics I would say the standard Camera takes better pictures due to the more precise focus when touching the screen.

Yes, they can't be saved in camera roll or albums for some reasons. I just took screenshots. Power button and windows button at same time.

Re: Lumia 920 can take sharp pitcures with app
These are my images taken in the small bar (my friends singing there).
This is the low light condition, sorry that i can't perform the same condition as yours, but i hope that this can be any use.
The 1 thing i did here is, re-size the image to 15% of the original.
These images taken before the Portico update.
Here are the links to full size images.

Re: Lumia 920 can take sharp pitcures with app
Here you go. But, with one remark, this is before the Portico update. Maybe tonight I may have a chance for some others night shot with my Portico updated LM920

Re: Lumia 920 can take sharp pitcures with app
Ok, I just tested and at first I thought camera easy shots were sharper, this is due to the preview of camera easy being able to zoom in a lot closer than the native camera app which has limited zoom. I was convinced camera easy was better until I accessed the photo from my PC and zoomed in, the font was just as clear. Nokia needs to update the preview, I don't care personally but it's going to confuse people just as it did here.
