    Is this going to work: Nokia bringing RAW photography to the Lumia 1520 and 1020

    To me the reason most people love phone camera is the convenience. I don't know if this will work, I think Nokia is desperate.

    I think the answers to your question lie within the 102 or more comments posted below the article. Also, the addition of RAW formatting is "probably" in response to the critiques of the current file format.

    Interesting to read the comments on the linked post.
    The only RAW a cell phone shooter knows is raw meat.

    It "MIGHT WORK" however, I gave up my Nokia Lumia Smartphone and replaced it with my wife's old iPhone when she upgraded phones. I have never hated a phone as much as I disliked the Lumia. IMO, it was a PITA to use. Despite the iPhone I am now using being several years and a generation older than the Nokia, I am far happier with the iPhone.

    For me the fun of shooting with a phone is the lack of conventional photographic rules - shutter speeds, apertures, DoF and RAW. I want and really enjoy the "See it and shoot it" flow I can achieve with a phone where I take pictures of anything just because I can.
    For some reason I tend not to do this as much with a SLR and I miss fun shots.

    I'm not bothered so much about the quality its just an enjoyable experience.

    On a side note the 1520 is HUGE!!!!!!
    Why on earth you'd want to lug it around every second of every day I'll never understand.
