Ende Juli bekam ich ein Nokia Lumia 930 und hatte somit bisher etwa zwei Monate Zeit, es intensiv zu testen. Zeit, das Gerät zu rezensieren! Wie die Überschrift verrät, ist es ein absoluter Traum für Fotografen jeder Art.

The poor girl hit her head twice in the last days, and has a small fever since the last two days. She never cries hard, only wakes up at night screaming, but then she calms down quickly once she knows we are there for her. We also got a place for her in a pre-kindergarten club from June on, so her mother can finally work a…
