Nokia Lumia 920 review: Windows Phone 8 and (a little bit of) camera magic -- Engadget
Just more confirmation that it's the best Windows Phone yet.

Pretty good review, and frankly the camera comments are fair. So it's taking good daylight pics, just not dominating the competition there. That said, it's early and we know they will tweak the software in the coming months and those will improve as well. Remember how bad the 900's camera was panned then a few updates later (months) it was very respectable. I expect a similar effect with the 920 going from good to excellent (not counting low light where it is already excellent).
And in a way I'd still like to notify that it's not really even "supposed" to be anything special in normal daylight setting. When we think what actually takes the most space in the camera module, its the OIS which has definitely shown its strength. Then there is the low light awesomeness. The actual rest of "8 mpix camera" seems fairly normal stuff and shouldnt be expected to beat stuff like N8 or 808.
Personally I think it's working as intended.
the old winterfang seems to be coming out now and then. Well tell me if Android has been the same from few years ago. it is progressing all the time.. pple are waiting for new stuff.. IOS have gone thru 6 versions but everything else is same.. very small changes. But change is the only thing that is contant.. So i dont know WTH you are talking about waiting. Yes you need to wait.. or else you can go to Apple.. .for 100 years they will give the same thing...What are you saying fwaits? That we should wait?
What is it with windows phone and waiting.

To the commenters saying the camera is working a intense are completely wrong. The phone was touted as having the most impressive camera in a smart phone aside of the 808. It's has 8.7 mp Carl Zeiss optics with ios. It's not supposed to take blurry, soft, detail less ,fuzzy, shots in broad daylight. I don't care how any of you try to sugar coat it. Every camera on a phone or an actual camera should take excellent images during daylight . Something is wrong with the optics or software that processes the images . The camera is not the way it should be. Now if Nokia designed their new flagship phone to take decent not great pictures during the day then they deserve to have a company in the current state that its in. I want a 920, I want a cyan 920 but I don't want a new smart phone that has a camera that doesn't produce great pictures . Especially one that can't take pictures better than camera phones that were released years before it

I like how they butchered the start screen on the video... :straight:
In the comments of the Engadget review they said manual settings compensated for the small issues they saw so it's likely software tweaking in the auto settings and such will clean them up even more.

Naturally technology evolves, but still.

Of course I agree that it seems that some software tweaks could be needed and will probably make the 920 even better when they get those tweaks out. I dont understand much about photography but the arguments of "aggressive noise reduction that wash out details" seem valid.
