Had an experience with the Nokia Lumia 1020 and the opportunity to ask myself if i go overseas, do i need to lug my DSLR or this 41MP camera phone?

Well, i brought both out and see which one i used most often. Well, let's start from the beginning, i had with me, the Apple iPhone 5 (default phone), Sony Xperia Z1, Blackberry Z1 and not forgetting the Lumia 1020, all the 4 different OS flavors in my hand.
During the last 2 weeks (locally and overseas), i have shot more photos as much as i used to have my iPhone 5 in a week, using the Lumia 1020.
Firstly it's easy to use, just press the button at the side and the camera just launches.
I have shot all the photos with the default AUTO settings and also some of them i post processed them on the phone using the Nokia Creative Studio software...especially the "Colour Pop" and "Clarity" (...aka sharpening) functions.
As a photographer, megapixels don't really mean a lot to me, but i am going to focus on how this camera "wow-ed" me when i had so much fun from it and the output, i would say, is up to my expectation for a camera phone.
Let's start with some indoor food photos which i have below.
Taken in auto mode and no flash (...not a fan of flash photography especially those coming from camera phones, i find those too harsh.).
The colour saturation and accuracy is there. May not be sharp but hey, it works for me and after all this is still a camera phone.
Even a little bokeh can be achieve by this.
