The Nokia Lumia 920 Chronicle: Day Shots

One of the best features of the Nokia Lumia 920 is the camera, the critically acclaimed PureView technology with Optical Image Stabilization, floating lens technology, 8.7MP Carl Zeiss optics, with f/2.0, 1/3” aperture and short pulse high power LED flash. Most technology sites even regarded it as the current King of cameraphones, unsurpassed even by the latest announced breed from competing brands, but will it fared the same under my watchful eye?

Well, I don't really have much credentials in reviewing camera performance having limited knowledge on its technicalities, all I can offer is a direct general approach being photo enthusiasts and a huge fan of cameraphones for the past 5 years. On the record, I have owned Nokia N82 and Nokia N8 both king of cameraphones in their respective eras, and tried a bunch of devices from different manufacturers. Currently, I'm looking for my next upgrade and been itching for the Nokia 808 PureView when it was announced, but lately, the Nokia Lumia 920 because of its innovative camera specs and features. To measure the phone's camera performance, I divided the camera tests into two, Night Shots and Day Shots.

As an initial thought, I'm not really expecting a lot from the Day Shot since by comparison to my Nokia N8, the Nokia Lumia 920 had a lower megapixel count, though it had a PureView technology but not as powerful as the Nokia 808 PureView. This was by the way my first to use a aforementioned camera technology.

Anyways, without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, here are some of my personal favorites.

The Beach Front

Casa Redonda

Canto Del Viajero

The Blind Spot

Gumamela Up Close

The City Hall

Cathedral Under The Sun

Spiral On Top

Fantasy Land

Gloria de Dapitan

Well, I do admit, I was impress with the phones day shoot camera performance. Images were mostly dramatic that I just want to snap as many images beyond customary. Perhaps due to the PureMotion HD+ of the screen that images looks superlative on the phone, but besides, the camera mechanism intelligently adjust to the scenery enhancing important details that it still looks outstanding even on a computer screen. Now I know how the PureView technology works, its superior compared to my N8.

Up next, Night shots, and interestingly, this specific scenery built the credence for the phone among critiques, does it? Watch this space!

Chinese buyers were smart alright, as a proof, they ramp up Nokia Store in Shanghai, China to get a hand on the most innovative smartphone to date, the Nokia Lumia 920!

This was quite opposite actually to the reported subdued reception of iPhone5 when it was released a week ago. Forbes reported that they only saw two people lining up on a certain Apple Store to buy it. They even predict that China will soon be over the iPhone fever.

Well, back to the Lumia 920, I'm pretty sure these people were not just up for the brand, they line up because they know what they could get out of it, a smartphone with excellent built and construction, outstanding design, ultramodern wireless charging technology, superior PureView Camera with floating lens stabilization, high-caliber PureMotion HD+ with extra sensitive capacitive touchscreen, exclusive and unparalleled Nokia App Services like Nokia Maps, Nokia Drive, Nokia City Lens, and so much more, who would ever want to miss buying this genius piece of work?

Accordingly, no official count yet as to the number of device sold for the day but one thing is for sure, they sold quite a number base on the captured queues, incidents like this doesn’t happened on a regular day, one or two, it all happened for a reason.

I suppose this is going to be a Happy Christmas for Nokia, well they deserve it, the Nokia Lumia 920 is very much worth the hype.
