@OP
Most of your claims in your prior "N9's camera is poor compared to N900's" thread didn't smell right.
And Damien Dining was in agreement (tweeted him)....
I suspect you're coming from an un-solid (technically) place again...
But I'll wait for commentary from others who own both, & can weigh-in.

The camera itself (hardware) is fine, it's the camera app's inability to decently measure correct exposure that is the problem.
Fortunately there are lots of manual options in the menu including the ability to manually set exposure compensation. Use that and you'll get much better night photos.

Unfortunately no amount post-editing cannot save overexposed images. You would have to set negative exposure correction or lower ISO before you take the shot.

And he answered it is due to the different light metering method between N9 and N900.

Yes, setting the exposure compensation to -1.5EV works on these situations. But even after doing this, the image quality and focus accuracy of N9 is still not as good as N900. I think it should be caused by the CMOS size.
Damian Dinning had replied me several days ago on Twitter,
I asked why there is about 1.5EV difference in low light condition between N9 and N900.
And he answered it is due to the different light metering method between N9 and N900. There are cons and pros for both in different situations.
