Tripod mounted

The editors didn't like
The lack of apps for the Windows 8 system
Windows Phone 8 app ecosystem
No expandable memory
$299 is a little pricey
A niche device
The Lumia 1020 is $100 pricier than most high-end smartphones. The lens makes it a little bulky. Multiple camera apps are confusing. It lacks manual f-stop control and presets for common shooting scenarios
Thick and bulky
Limited third-party app ecosystem
Camera app can be a little slow
Bulky
And has huge bump at the back that isn't aesthetically pleasing
Windows Phone 8 lacks photography apps to take advantage of camera
No expandable memory and no Qi wireless charging support
No expandable storage
Macro support on the camera is practically non-existent
