Nokia Lumia 920-iPhone 5 Compare - a photo on Flickriver

            I did a simple in-the-dark shootout last night bewteen an iPhone 5 and the new Nokia Lumia 920 in my living room.  I think you can judge for yourself who did best.

The first images on the top are unprocessed on both- literally straight out of the phones.

The bottom images had, only, Auto Levels performed in Photoshop, relying on Photoshop to make the best guess.  Youc an see that hte iPhone photo is worthless, still.  You can see a little bit of detail on the right side of it, where the light from the single lamp is brightest.

In contrast, though the Lumia image has a bit of a warm tone due to the lamp, it is a usable image.  It was quite dark, but the result is very good, especially for a cell phone.  I would put this up against any point-n-shoot as well, and will do a shootout with my SLR next.

No flash was used in either photo- they are only using ambient light.  I've included a couple of 1:1 extractions from the Lumia image to show how well this handheld image also benefited from the 920's spring-mounted camera (literally, the camera is mounted on shock abosrbers).

I work for Nokia, so there's that disclaimer.  But these are real and I challenge anyone to replicate them and post them.  Send me a link if you do!  And I'm happy to mail you the original images from the device for you to compare.
