Coolest Nokia Lumia 920 moments

Published by Paul Coombes on December 14, 2012

 

As Christmas approaches, there has (unsurprisingly) been even more great moments captured by using the Nokia Lumia 920. 

Aptly shown by the frosty photograph above, the Lumia 920′s 8.7 megapixel camera picks out a spider web covered in snow in brilliant clarity. Drupad deserves a pad on the back for this excellent nature shot.  The detail of the web’s snow-tinted silk exterior reflects the camera’s stunning focus. It has to be said though, poor spider.  

Photography magazine ephotozine took the Lumia 920 for a spin and was full of praise for the device’s ‘nice’ dedicated buttons for shutter, lock, volume and ‘quick and responsive’ operating system. As expected, they examined the rigour of the Lumia 920′s picture-taking quality, noting the ‘very quick’ focus and shutter response.

Shu Takaishi‘s video featuring two snowboarders swooping down a piste from a snowy hill top is absolutely superb – for two reasons. One, snowboarding is very cool. Two, the video is shot with solely a Lumia 920 and shows the phone’s ability to pick up even the smallest of details. The texture and depth of the snow, the vibrancy and boldness of blue sky and the vivad shots of the snow-covered mountainous background. A sight to behold. 

…awesome boarding. To hear how the Lumia 920 fares with extreme audio, check this out from Pontus Österlindh. It is striking how the music maintains its sharpness as the volume levels increase. By the way, the song was Internet Friends by Knife Party for those of you wondering.

Finally, we wrap up with an enjoyable review by Bit Rebels of the ‘simply stunning’ Lumia 920. ‘Oozing build quality’ and an  ’impressive’ Optical Image Stabilization with floating lens technology, the review proclaims the device to be ‘the next generation of smartphone’ providing an holistic user experience.

    This is indeed an amazing phone, I’ve taken some night photos and the results are just impressive.
    My friend was trying to replicate the same with his Android phone and the photos were simply too dark and with lots of noise.

    Just a heads up, it’s Internet Friends by Knife Party

    Night shots are all this phone can do. Otherwise your photos will come out extremely soft and horrible. Who cares about the night capabilities when it cant even take a “on par” picture during the day. Im disgusted in this camera and the hype nokia put behind it.

      There were some photos taken with pre-release 920 hardware on sites such as engaget and verge that showed poor day time photos. By release the camera was tweeked and takes awsome daytime photos. When I recently went back though my photos and my wifes iPhone photos there were 2 night time shots for every day time.
      I use my D7000 for the money shots.

        Im unsure where you seen awesome daytime photos from the lumia 920. The photos are soft very soft and basically destroyed from the compression…or at least people are hoping thats what it is. Nokia has already stated there working on a fix so its known that daytime photos are horrid. Im hoping its a software fix cuz i really wanna buy this phone. But for now my SGS3 destroys it in image quality. Lets wait for nokias update.

          I cant call them horrible, but yes there is a “softness” to the shots. Takes me about 3 seconds to fix them, and Nokia are releasing an update before the end of the month which fixes the problem.

    The daytime photo is just too soft. I have compared the photo of lumia 920 with galaxy note II LTE, GN2 has outperformed L920 in daytime photo. Please address this issue and release firmware update for the camera to fix it.

      Update 1.1 on it’s way before the end of the month, which will address the “softness” issue.

    Save for the 808 PureView… This is the best camera on any phone… Ever. Nothing comes remotely close in low light, stabilization and video recording. Add panorama, cinemagraph and smart shoot lenses and it’s no contest.

    it would be very useful if you could integrate a QR-Code to the apps you introduce…so that we are able to scan it with our Windows phone and download directly ;)
