Indeed, nothing special. Just as I suspected. It's only for people who love doing long exposure time night photos with tripod, but then, why not use compact camera which have 20x better exposure time settings...
As for video recording, I must hear the soudn quality first, if it's regular just like on other phones, it's still pretty useless.
I still don't understand why people expect amazing quality from 1.4-1.1 micron pixels.. they are all pretty much the same, negligible difference here and there. Its just not going to happen. There is only one exception to the rule.. 808.
The 808 will destroy the 920 @ 800 iso.. guaranteed, even without a tripod.
As far as long exposures.. what is the point when your photos will be full of grain and noise ? There are several examples of long exposure shots from the 808 taken by esato users, and.. ya those are proper, and I am sure the 920 will not be able to produce such results.
As far as the sound recording, it has the same mic as the 808 (140 decibels, etc).. key point here is .. there is only one, so no stereo. The 808 will remain the best sound recording device for quite some time.

I Think Recording Videos With Audio Mono, Is a Limitation Of Windows Phone 8 ! 
Since Besides 920 PureView LITE, Ativ S And 8X Also Record Videos With Audio Mono !!!  |

they probably ran into problems with Win NT ya.. just like they did with the PureView tech. RTOS is the way to go.. they have a lot of work to do if they want to apply their technologies on Windows.

Can you please share them ? I am yet to see an image from the 920 that is not average in terms of quality.

What makes you think that the 920 will take significantly better pictures than your 800.. or a 900 for that matter ? I am just curious..
Technically there is no reason for them to be able to do so.. unless Nokia made some progress on the jpeg compression front, I don't see how the 920 will be able to take "much" better pictures @ 1.4 micron pixels.

And here is another sample.
Lumia 920: http://cdn-static.cnet.co.uk/[....]umia-920-camera-test-large.jpg
iPhone 5: http://cdn-static.cnet.co.uk/[....]0-camera-test-iphone-large.jpg
Yup, 16:9 format on 920 is not helping it, but again, very average performance.
Has this person not got steady hands??
I don't think it's a matter of shaky hands, it's the 920 that makes photos with that weird blur. |

^ thanks for posting those.. ya, there was a reason why they didn't show any daylight photos from 920. Do you remember when they launched the 808 ? They shot the whole marketing campaign with the phone, and showed off a bunch of samples.. because they were confident in the product, which is not the case with the 920.
Nokia knows that they are far off the benchmark... |

The 920 was supposed to be amazing in auto mode for low light.. I thought that was the whole point of OIS |

Auto mode,I thought the point was of having night mode was for night shots?? Would you take low light shots on your dedicated digital camera in auto mode?? I wouldn't. They generally always come out worse. You really think a phone would be great at night in auto mode?? Not even a proper camera is not OIS is not just for low light. I have never even with a top camera,come across any that takes amazing night shots in auto mode. The 808 does pretty well & yes I agree that it won't be on a par with the 808. But seriously,I have seen much better shots taken with the 920 and no I am not sharing them go search for yourself

...
I will give you my theory on this:
The 920 has a very aggressive noise reduction algorithm, which helps in those low light shots with longer exposure. The problem is, it doesn't "turn off" when the sun is out, so you loose detail because of it.
... I will go even further. There is a slight chance that the HTC One X and the Ativ S will take slightly better pictures than the 920 in ideal conditions, because they don't have to accommodate for that low light setting.
We will se if I am right in the next few days

Well I'd still choose the Nokia over any of them. Samsung Ativ has a shitty pentile display anyway and I hate their phones now their crappy designs

For sure.. if you want to go WP .. Lumia is the best choice. Built quality, design, free navigation.. its good stuff. The HTC 8X borrowed a lot from the Lankku N9 design and looks good as well. |

We haven't seen a good comparison yet. I bought the 920 in the belief that it has a good camera and of course I still believe that's the case . But again, until I have had the oppertunity to try it myself I will not take any predrawn conclusions.
I haven't owned a Nokia since the 3310 and have always been a  boy, but with them out of the equation I'm open to new ideas and brands. Samsung's quality has always let me down and iPhone is boring. Sony often feels cheap and plastic, I say, no more squeaky battery covers!
I just hope WP8 can deliver enough usability .
