Seppo2: @C.E. Thanks, interesting. Why would Gizmodo do that, while they have the positive comparison to iPhone5 on the same site (thanks @Gene)

oneinfiniteloop: In all fairness I have to say that when in low light (or total darkness) condition my Lumia 920 does flash even when I set it to off...

Seppo2: @1inf Yeah, it does a quick flash to focus, a second or so in advance. But then does not use the flash when taking the actual image.

Seppo2: Forcing the flash off like in the Gizmodo is an artificial setting. The real goal for low light tech is when taking photos in large rooms...

Seppo2: ...or outside, where no flash would be sufficient to illuminate the whole space. Having said that, I like turning off the flash in my L920

Seppo2: ...even in smaller spaces as the color balance is often nicer w/o the flash. The low light tech really does magic in Lumia.

oneinfiniteloop: @Seppo2 as you will agree it is matter of semantics in reality that quick flash is enough to excite the sensors to capture information...

scavok: You can turn the focus assist light off in the camera settings, which is what that flash is when turned off. The pictures are still amazing.

oneinfiniteloop: ...so in a sense I would say that the photo sensors in $NOK are probably better - but they do need a light source all the same.

oneinfiniteloop: I am not sure why Gizmodo would do such a shoddy job with reporting - seems a consorted effort over last 3 days by WSJ, Gizmodo and others

oneinfiniteloop: I can bet you that the photo that Gizmodo has taken from Lumia 920 has the initial quick flash on action set to ON.

C.E.: Gizmodo has taken the lumia photo with flash on. No camera can capture so much color with low lux. This article is a farce.

scavok: I've taken several without flash that turned out like that. With certain settings, you can capture more light without flash than your eyes

scavok: You just risk blurring the picture because it has a long exposure time, but that's what the 920 stability control is for.

scavok: However if you're going to try to take a low-light picture of a moving object, it's still total crap.
