Hey ya, it's been a while hasn't it? Good to have you again  Anyway, on to your question. Unlike C905, the W995 isn't the easiest point and shoot to work with. It is somewhat like C902, you need to get used to it and know how to use it in what situations. If tweaking with the settings is not your cup of tea then you won't make the best out of its camera. I think a healthy dose of passion can remedy this

Hi, nice pictures so far... I'd like to know if someone has tested the color reproduction of skin tones while using flash in low light...
Thanks in advance!

That's one big shots collection.  Great photos indeed. The pictures are clear and good quality, at least the most of them. To be honest I didn't expect the W995 would produce such good quality photos. Usually  walkmans have mediocre camera.

@Lightspeed x
Skin tone with flash in low light is quite accurate but that depends on the distance from subject. From a distance of about 500mm to 1m, auto white balance works fine. But for anything further, I use fluorescent because that seems to represent skin tone most accurately

I've used W902 and W995 and I think they're both amazing shooters for a Walkman phone eventhough I think there shouldn't be a distinction to make them more special than the rest of the W-series lineup. Had they followed in the tradition of W800, W810 and W900, I don't think they'd be in the mess they're in right now. The Walkman-Cybershot hybrids came too little too late I think.

@Mode: Thanks for taking the time to upload the pictures, definitely the color reproduction is much better than my C702... That's a relief

@Mode: Nice shots indeed!...
It's official that its camera its way better than the one in the C702 .... I wonder why, does it have to do with the aperture size in the camera?... the C702 has an aperture size of 1:3.2 while the W995 has an aperture size of 1:2.8... does it really affect performance that much in low light?
Note: I might be confusing aperture size with F/stop... sorry if part of my post does not make much sense...

Some more from me with the new firmware
I must say that even though the camera of the W995 is said to be the worst 8MP out there I think the macro mode is EXCELLENT

@mode:
the low light pictures look very good!
did you disable flash, or live with the default "auto flash" when taking those low light outside pictures? |

@nfts-pstrfs: Which firmware is currently installed in the phone?
What about video recording in low light?, could someone please post a video?
Thanks in advance!

The firmware is R1FA035 and the camera software is 1.7 (in the previous firmware it was 1.6).
As for the video recording in low light... No complaints. Unfortunetely I don't have a video to upload.
P.S. You can use the LED light to make life easier when recording in low light.
