I've been messing around with a Nokia 808 Pureview phone camera and finally got some sunshine to shoot in as opposed to relentless grey cloudage. So here's some snaps from the Big Smoke and down Kernow way.
As a camera I love it. It's fast, responsive, the AF is cracking and it handles all kinds of light with ease. File sizes are of course mahoosive so if and when you actually need to crop into an image (like if you wanted to chuck some stuff on Instagram) you can really pick out details. Of course there aren't Insty, Twitter or FB apps on the phone itself, seeing as it has the antique Symbian OS, but there are probably work arounds. Not used it as an actual phone yet either as I ain't got a mini SIM card.
Anyhoose. Here's some pics :)

All shots quickly processed in Aperture using the Toy Camera preset (apart from the B&W one). No exposure or other corrections. Resized using standard Aperure export to 1024 wide setting.
So you can see this unit really does deliver. Now just to figure out how the software works ;)
