I took some photos in mixed shade and full sun and came away very displeased. Will experiment to see if there's a way to compensate.
Meanwhile here are others from this weekend. Stills taken in SmugMug Camera Awesome, PhotoSphere (compass gone wild on rocking ferry) in the default camera app. no post-processing, spot focus and exposure when in SmugMug.
Edit: Sorry these display as gigantic this posting. Not sure why.
Well I got my phone back so was lovely to take it with me to Banger racing yesterday
A great day but a nightmare for a phone camera.
Exposure being up on top of a hill with nothing else around to block out the sky was... Interesting...
It was also very, very windy so most of the videos I took the wind ruined the sound.
Other than that it was a great day, I love grassroots motorsport.
Yes they do race fibreglass, 3 wheeled Reliants - and yes they do fall over with amusing regularity and explode in a shower of fibreglass when they hit each other.
Epic!

My point is yes, the camera can't cope very well with exposure when you have a lot of bright sky but it's a fast camera that can capture shots with little to no blur and great for pulling out of the pocket and capturing that one shot or in fact in the time most cameras can catch that one shot the M8 can capture multiples of it.
The wide lens really helps with motorsport as well
