Best Windows Camera

[Anonymous]

If I were to upgrade my phone, the most important feature to me would probably be the camera and the ability to sync directly with One Drive so that I can edit and post my images from my laptop or tablet without manually syncing with anything at all (at the moment my phone does it for me the moment it finds a WiFi, which is magical).

So, I have a 635 at the moment, what would be better than this? I'm also on PYG so not looking to change that, and would prefer to spend less than 200 pounds.

What are my options?

You can get a Lumia 930 for less than 200 but you don't need to restrict yourself to Lumia devices as one drive is available across all platforms now.

And being honest, if you want windows the best camera is on the 1020. But remember its an older device so won't be as snappy as the newer ones.

I would say the 930 is your best bet 20mp camera 4k video, also when windows 10 is released it`s likely to run W10 the best of the older hardware due to it`s specs the last high end phone pre W10, if your not bothered about colour you can grab one for £169.99.

If you wan't a new phone the Lumia 930 will be your only option on Windows, reviews for it's camera have been pretty positive as far as I know. As has been already mentioned you could go to another OS and maybe find something decent out there. I personally like a dedicated camera button which rules out most except Sony. I still own a Lumia 1020 and it has a truly awsome camera for a phone with a couple of niggles, ie poor macro and a slow start up. Postives are lossless zoom and a zenon flash plus to get good closeups you dont need to get too close. Trouble is it is not really available new but can get refurbs for your kind of money.

If you want a windows 10 phone on a budget it may be worth hanging on for this due out early next year Q1.

it may not have the camera of the 930 but it`s built for windows 10 and looks better than the 950 & 950XL.

That looks nice and may well replace my 640 as long as I can get the DS version.

Doesn't seem to be much more than my 635. Camera is the same.

Like the 930, but not sure I can find the 169 price anywhere.

There was on amazon gone now in black they have used 930 showing £149.

the camera may look the same but the harware running the 650 will be a lot better you will find the full specs at CES in jan, and the WP plans for next year.
