thats right. The lumia is also amazing under sunlight and the whites look better..

other things that i wanted to include:
Lumia has a very nice focusing in the camera it uses a flash when focusing whch is a huge plus when taking pictures at night. Lumia's flash is aslo very and i mean very bright for a non xenon. N9 is supposed tohave the same but i dont think its as bright, and no focusing with the flashlight on the N9.
Photo quality wise they are both very different niether are too bad but i prefer the lumia, n9's white balance is all over the place, sometimes the snow is green-ish other times its blue-ish. I understand that if i knew more than just the basics of photography i'd be able to pull a good shot out of both. Also both are getting camera updates in future. (The lumia deffinitely as theres an official statement, the n9 says camera interface improvement and im not sure whether they will also improve the quality but most probably)
What the Lumia is better than the n9 at is the video. N9's video recording ability is two years behind. even though they are both hd recorders the difference is actually HUGE. Lumias video looks exaclty the same on my 15" hi res as the one from iphone 4s(which is awesome) the n9 is really bad at video recording and this is definitely a software issue so lets hope for improvements.
