Windows Phone Limitation Hurts A Great Device

 

So, it's a fact Nokia makes some great camera phones.  Their Pureview phones are great examples of the best you can get in phones.  Unfortunately, their partnership with Microsoft's WP8 hampers a great phone.

Just watch the video and you will find out that the Lumia 1020 has a decently long interval between taking new shots.  Most current phones have zero shutter lag, in this day and age 3.5 seconds between shots is unacceptable.  This is ultimately limited by the processor, which as of this writing is limited to the old dual-core Snapdragons chips of yore.  If this had been an Android phone, Nokia could have gone with a beefier processor that would've handled this like a champ.

Most people may sit this one out and wait for the next iteration.  I'll just continue to wait for a decent camera to debut on an Android phone.
