Camera
The camera on the Nokia Lumia 720 is a 6.7 MP shooter with an f/1.9 Carl Zeiss lens and LED flash.
It's a very good camera, with colours coming out quite saturated and resulting shots looking better than the Galaxy S III, especially indoors.
The dedicated shutter button doubles as a camera quick launch shortcut, which is really handy.
The colours come out quite saturated, and I seem to prefer the resulting shots from the Lumia 720 to my Galaxy S III, particularly indoors.
Shots taken indoors without flash under reasonable lighting conditions turn out really good on the Lumia 720, even better than the GSIII thanks to the large aperture.

The default camera app on Windows Phone is pretty basic, especially when compared to the Android OEM camera apps, but gets the job done.
You can always get hold of other apps (lenses as per WP terminology) to expand on the functionality, such as the ProShot app (paid – just Rs 110 though) that gives you full manual control over the camera settings.
Video output is also pretty decent, but it only supports up to 720p video.
