Post Pictures from your 822

Are you guys using the default settings or are you changing them? Seems like I'm 50/50 on getting really good pictures. The main issue seems like it takes so long for the camera to focus and take the picture.

yeap, I was expecting the camera to be way faster than this.
 
i think for those last 2 pictures i posted i had it set to either night portrait or backlight.

i've noticed the first picture i take requires a lot of time to focus, after that its pretty "snappy" though
 
Still getting the hang of the camera. I haven't figured out how to use it to its fullest capability. I took this in the guests' lobby at the casino the other day. Think it came out great and very true to how the area looked. The first few I took were vertical, but once I went landscape instead of portrait, they came out much better for some reason.

These are a few of the better pics I've taken, but it seems as if when I zoom in, they are very, very grainy... I have one more week to decide if I want to keep my 822, and the camera quality is one thing I'm not particular happy about..
 
Here's a couple shots I just took tonight after dark. Not bad considering the low light conditions. WP_20121227_012.jpgWP_20121227_015.jpg
 
I think it does ok for a phone camera. Not the best, but not the worst, either. It's really quite disappointing when you zoom in close. I'm hoping Verizon comes out with a higher end Nokia next spring that fixes all the shortcomings and keeps all the good. I ended up having to take back my first 822 because of the flush power button issue. I'm still feeling out the new replacement; took a few pics with the camera and it doesn't seem to be as good as my first 822... We'll see. Maybe it just needs to be broken in.

Not very good pictures, but it's good enough for me from a phone. I still use a standalone camera when I can, but this works when I don't have a good camera with me.
 
I find if the lighting is good and the camera settings are set correctly, it takes pretty darn good pictures!
 
I've been impressed with the low light pictures it can take, it may not be the 920, but it sure isn't bad. This is from dinner the other day at Cheesecake Factory, and this was a particularly dim/ambient lit spot in the restaurant, I wasn't expecting much because of it, but was pleasantly surprised, the camera got a better look at my dinner than I did.:) It's chicken marsala, FYI.

One thing I remember from researching the 822 is that the default camera settings don't do a great job, it takes much better photos using the appropriate scene setting. I'll try to post some comparisons when I get my phone hopefully Monday.
 
Still taking many pictures and pleased but mostly of people not places or things, but have this one to share. Birthday cake from my niece's party.
