Lumia 820 Low light capture Woes

Hi team,

 

Lumia 820 which is your midlevel flagship has an f2.2 aperture vs 720 which has f1.9. Obvisioly 720 gets an edge in terms of specs. In MWC we saw how 720 outshining 920 in low light capture.At the same time 820 puts the series to shame with the low light photogra[hy even though it has a good aperture. I believe this has something to do with your capturing algorithms which may be buggy.

 

I own an 820 , needless to say the lowlight capture is super bad, even in a well lit indoor scenario.It is nowhere near the 8x which also has 8.0 mpx. Yeah 820 also has imaging sensor. Do you think this cab be improved in Lumia 820 to get this tweaked ? [Note: It gives me satisfactory outdoor photos.]

 

Is there any firmware updates we can expect for 820 which will improve the camera effectiveness in low light conditions?
