I am surrounded with Iphones, but carry a windows phone. Why, I like it better, it has a better camera which is very important for me. and it has more and better photographic apps.
Any hoot, most of the critics (fanboys of apple, or android) have never seriously played with the latest windows phone, and their remarks are from data that is usually about two years old.
I carry and use the Lumia 1020 only because of the camera and the quality. I like to take a lot of pics and edit them either in Paintshop Pro x6, of Photoshop cs5. I like the ability to convert its large RAW files using either DxO, Adobe, or Corels products. And I do so with my 'keepers'. I am old and still having photographic fun with this thing. And, yeah, you can call people on it too.
Remember the axiom: "The best camera you can have is the one with you"
When Windows 8.1 get loaded in all the Windows 8 devices by the end of the summer, a lot of wish lists items will be met. Yes, I guess I am somewhat of a fanboy. But this is a photographic site, and this topic is about Windows!
