My other camera is the Sony NEX, which I used to bring out with me all the time. After having the 808, I find myself leaving the NEX at home most of the time, because I am confident that the 808 can handle most situations well enough. I couldn’t say the same about my previous phone which was the N8. The image quality of the 808 is really that good as advertised. It only makes sense since the sensor size is 5x larger than that of the iPhone. And the high iso images have been shown to be clearly better. This together with the lossless zoom is the reason why the 808 is far better than the iPhone. Now, did Nokia ever advertised that the 808 is the best camera for high speed or spontaneous shots? No. The htc onex does advertise on being good at fast shots. Just like the Nikon 1 system versus the NEX. The NEX has far bigger sensor but the Nikon 1 has quick focus.

It seems to me that there is room for two new models: the PW Phase 1 camera phone and something smack in the middle, probably called 720. There were rumors of an even cheaper WP7 phone than the 510/505, but I don’t see how they could pull that one off. The 510 is already extremely compromised design with its non-expandable 4 GB of internal memory. Using a smaller screen would perhaps bring down the price somewhat, but not enough for it to make much sense.

@Jay: I never wrote about 6 new Lumias, that has been misunderstood by someone in translating from Italian. It’s 6 Lumias for the first half of 2013, 4 that we know already (510, 620, 820, 920) and 2 new ones.

Almost anything can be a decent replacement for a DSLR if you don’t define what is decent. I have been taking great pictures with my 808 and iPhone 4S but I wouldn’t call them as replacements for a DSLR.

I am familiar with the controls, but the iPhone is just so much faster to use what it comes to taking some quick shots. There is difference but it’s not always that big on good light, but when dark, the difference is bigger.

It is NOT a DSLR. And I don’t think anybody here is claiming that it will replace your DSLR. However, it is true that if you left your DSLR at home, the 808 makes a pretty decent replacement. For that convenience and peace of mind, you just have to pay a small price of not having those awesome manual controls on a DSLR. Actually I have no problem changing the setting on my 808. Perhaps you are not so familiar with the controls which means you will take longer to change the setting.

I didn’t buy it because of the hype. I pretty much knew what I was buying. There was some flaws not mentioned in the specs, but then again, that’s what you get when you buy something from Nokia. They don’t have that great quality. That’s why those flaws – like dropping frames in certain situations – didn’t surprise me.

It works well with good light. You may get good pictures with less light but it becomes harder. Lots of time to find the correct setting while even the exposure control is missing. If you like to shoot only with auto, well, I guess it’s not that big problem. But then again you are missing the point of a DSLR.

The 808 sure is a nice device if you have all the time in the world. If not, then it’s not so great. Rapid shooting is just one missing feature, but it’s not the whole story.

Most people using the 808 think they have all the time in the world when they shoot pictures and the moment will not pass while they try to figure out the correct settings. Especially if there is not so much light.

I have carefully read the specs and actually used the device. Apparently most people have only read the specs or they have all the time in the world.

Yes?
