Lumi 1020-First impressions-Part III

I had been contemplating on buying a compact camera for my daily photography and documenting needs. Carrying the DSLR along every time was getting frustrating and I was missing many a chances as I was not carrying my camera often. I zeroed down to the Sony RX100 but instead of buying that I ended up buying a Lumia 1020. It has manual settings for exposure, shutter speed, iso and white balance, a relatively large 2/3" sensor and manual focus too. Here are some of the photos for the first impressions of the lumia 1020. 

I have not posted anything on the blog for a long time now, so I would be a little greedy on this and do this post in several parts. Hope you like the photos. Here is part III.
I am happy with the results so far, took it for a shoot yesterday for two hours in the evening, felt nice and light. Being a mobile phone camera it is as par with many of the advance compacts. But the shutter delay and buffering time is really annoying. I will have to spend some more time with it to fully understand the camera. Now I am thinking of buying that RX100.
DSLR fOR SALE ! Takers anyone ? :-)

In the Hindu month of Ashad (June-July) every year lakhs of devotees from all over Maharashtra join the traditional Palkhi (Palanquin) of Sant Dyaneshwar and Sant Tukaram from Alandi and Dehu respectively.  The devotees known as 'Warkaris' cover a distance of nearly 250kms to reach the famous temple of Lord Vitthoba in Pandharpur. Chanting, singing and dancing all along the road the sight of people engrossed in devotion is  a treat to the eye.
