What I'd really like is some control over the built-in sharpening and noise reduction that's being applied to the photos.

Heavy NR combined with over-agressive sharpening is resulting in a lot more artefacts than there should be. I'd much rather take care of that myself with proper desktop-based tools.

(ok, what I'd REALLY like is pure RAW output, but barring that)

Hmmmm.... this tweak no longer seems to be working for me since the PR1.2 upgrade... my JPEGs are all coming in at ~1.5MB instead of the ~4MB that I used to see.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I've lost the ability to record videos... Anybody know how to fix this?

@stokkom start a new thread, you'll get help easier/quicker that way.

I don't think this tweak has any bearing on video recording whatsoever.

BUT

It's most definitely NOT working for me anymore since moving to PR1.2.. does anyone else notice this, or is it just me?

That's disappointing, but I'm glad that it's not just something unique to my phone.

I wonder what changed. I don't really know enough (or anything!) about the differences between the hardware and software encoders to speculate..

Hopefully someone with a deeper technical knowledge will look into this since in lieu of RAW output, 100% JPEGs were the next best thing (not that I'm noticing any truly terrible JPEG artifacts on the photos without it.. the worst of the artifacting is caused by the sharpening applied by the camera software, IMO).

Given the specs of the N900 camera, I see no advantage of raw over losless such as PNG, since I very much doubt the sensor has any stuff that can be used. Demosaicing is fine, and even if camera does HDR, PNG supports 16 bit per channel. There is no reason to go for complicated IMO.

True, except that [normally] a RAW file would be free from any in-camera post processing which could be better handled by proper image editing software.

If there's a way to get an unprocessed PNG out of there at 16bpc, I'm all for it!

RAW is always nice.

but if lossless PNG is more easily doable, it would be a nice approach as well.
