The fixes might cone in the Amber update. As for the latter, I'm beginning to miss my EDoF cameras.

If you want DSLR pictures, you're going to have to carry a DSLR. As for making the whole scene look good, try the HDR Photo app, which will take three shots and combine them - just like I'd have to do with my DSLR for the shot you've attempted.

This is a test of the video recording performance of the Nokia Lumia 928 for Verizon Wireless. I was walking (sometimes running) backwards. I think it really shows off the optical image stabilization quite well. The color is good as the jeep is very vibrant but the sky is overcast. Audio is good, can hear the laughing quite well. All in all this phone is definitely a keeper!

Re: Pictures/Videos taken with your 928!
Thanks, I'll look into the HDR app although I'm not of fan of HDR. I've got a couple DLSR's and use them for my serious photography. I do a bit of social media sharing (hate to admit that) with family and close friends when I'm out and about so that is what I use the phone cam for. I'm still playing with it and learning how it works...Just used to the iphone thinking for me.
I'm definintely keep the 928 tho.

Re: Pictures/Videos taken with your 928!
I recorded a time lapse. Sorry it's not more exciting, but I'm amazed what you can do with a CELL PHONE these days. Just a few years ago, you needed an expensive rig. Lot's of training and expensive software. Now, it's just point and shoot. Literally. ;-)
All settings were set for automatic and the pics were taken once every minute from 8:42am to 9:02pm. The video was compiled at 15fps.
I think the color saturation is pretty good but it is a little dark in the fore area. I might look at playing with a backlight setting or something.

If you could take two, or three photos at each interval with a different exposure you could fill in the shadows via HDR.

Re: Pictures/Videos taken with your 928!
Goodsit2, is there an app that will take those multiple shots with diff exposures and then you can setup to run over time?
Also, what is "HDR"? Thanks.

HDR is High Dynamic Range. It is where you take mulitple photos, at different exposures, so that for instance one photo has the best settings for the brightest part of the picture, one has best settings for the darkest part, and one or more is exposed for best settings at the mid-lit parts of the picture. You combine these images in a photo-editing program such as Photoshop, and you end up with a picture that looks like it is exposed properly for all of the brightness levels of the picture.
HDR Photo Camera does this all in the phone for you, and does a pretty good job. I don't recall if it takes the three shots on its own or if you snap three times, but one of the great things about this app is that you can control how much the shots are under or over exposed compared to the baseline exposure. For $2.99, it was worth it to me.

Re: Pictures/Videos taken with your 928!
It snaps three for you and composites them. Then you can adjust brightness, contrast, and saturation, or select from a group of preset processing filters, some of which are decent. It's a really good app for a specific purpose. - I should note that most of the photos I've taken with that HDR app aren't the most crisp though. For that you really need to have it standing on something solid.

Yeah, it's important that you don't move the camera between shots.

I can't fathom that - if I'm going to carry a tripod, I'm bringing the SLR.

Ok, I d/l it to try it and I can see what you mean about holding it still. This may be more than what I want to get into. It seems to take a while to take the 3 pics as well. Not really suitable for moving subjects.

Re: Pictures/Videos taken with your 928!
Under the Skydrive Storage | Photos + Videos settings, what are the benefits of switching from the defaults of "Good quality" to "Best qualty" other than the obvious having the best quality on Skydrive...
For photos, I like the idea that no matter what, as long as my phone sa cell connectvity, it can upload pics. I see this as a disaster recovery type of option. If something happens to the phone, at least I know the pics are stored online. Video, I don't care SO much since I don't take so many videos.
If I flip it to Best quality for the photos, that seems to say that it won't upload the photos until it gets within WiFi range. Correct? There may be times when I'm not connected to WFi for a while. I would hate to lose any pics if for whatever reason I wasn't able to sync with SkyDrive. On the flip side. having the best quality pics on SkyDrive would be nice as well. Is there THAT much of a difference between "Good quality" and "Best quality"? Thanks all.

I believe the Best quality uploads the full resolution image and the good quality uploads a lower resolution image.

Re: Pictures/Videos taken with your 928!
It's too bad they don't just run a simple photo registration algorithm. It could still process photos quickly and not depend as much on the stillness of the subject. FYI, some HDR is done from a single shot in which they alter the brightness and contrast of the single photo (splitting it into many photos) and combine the best qualities of all.
