Re: Windows 8 (8.1) phones... who has one? love it or hate i

Just updated my Nokia 920 to 8.1, and in one update, the platform got a lot of polish and has finally moved toward feature parity of its iOS and Android rivals.

Re: Need advice on camera switch

Also, in the thread you linked hieu, you say that you want to move to an A7R- having an a99, I can understand, but won't you be disappointed in the lower AF performance for the same kind of street shooting you posted in that thread?

I was going to get a 6870, but I'll gladly show this off to all my buddies. Think, that's possibly two more people being exposed to nvidia XD
