PR 1.2 updates radio modem so reverting might let you phoneless(, or so I've read). If W7 beta flashed my MB BIOS and it would no longer run XP, that beta would be laughed off the stage.
A beta FW would be OK as long as it would be available OTA and as long as a button in the menu could do it back to 1.1.1 OTA. As in, you know, "revertable".
I'm still going to wait because so many people complain, and I simply can't be without my N900.

EXIF data shows digital zoom ratio 2.8. Is that right? Surely digital zoom will trash the image
Similar results here. This is most likely a software optimization issue since my E72 takes uncomparably better photos and it doesn't even have Zeiss lens. There is too much noise in the photos from the N900 even in perfect outdoor lighting. I really don't see any improvements in the camera over PR1.1. The night mode takes the same really bad photos.
I see a hint of a blue-greenish hue on this image as well as the digital zoom (which will make it look bad on any device).
The only fix to a blue-greenish hue is to buy a black permanent marker and take off the battery cover. Apply the permanent marker on the blue-green edge of the lens cover which is closest to the lens when taking pictures. You might want to mask the chrome frame with paint tape or similar to avoid marking that black as well.
Once dry, a few seconds after appliation, your pictures will be void of this blue-green hue and will look much better.
Heres when i take a pic outside with pr.1.2 leaked

Could you take a pic with same settings but outside in full sun? We could run a comparison.

Same settings, autofocus, macro mode and hi res.

I get the same quality as you do here. One can still see the poor CMOS sensor artifacts and JPEG compression, but it's much lower. Bug in post-processing?
Ok, I'll say it. We have a pretty bad camera. I also suspect some upscaling, as it's distinctly lacking in detail, knowing it has optics and a 5 MPx sensor. Reducing images on the PC I go below 3MPx for a clear, sharp image. And about 1.5MPx for beautiful. I'm not saying it's Nokia, but it sure seems like someone upscales.
I did a side-by-side comparison to some pics I took with my old N80, pinhole 3.2 MPx, later admitted to be upscaled from 2 MPx IIRC. They are strikingly similar. Gain is small. Also, the "smaller" N80 sensor also has less noise in good light (more in low).
Ever since I bought a DSLR and some glass I've begun to see defects I never noticed before in photos. It is my personal opinion, as an amateur photographer, that N900 either cheats (upscaling/post processing - median noise) or has some sort of processing bug. And it seems to be worse in 1.2 (still on 1.1.1 here). Not to mention the flash myself in the eye design of the case. Also, the compression has some kind of problem. Fitting 5 MPx in 1 MB in a second without the aid of a nitrogen-cooled quad core means that losses are going to be quite high.
Oh well. Anyone have a test pattern handy?

N900 dead and Nokia no longer replaces them. Thanks for all the fish.
