Is there a way to email the photos in original size using WP8's built in email client? I have tried to search for the options but they dont seem to exist. Is anybody else facing the same problem. This is something that I feel is very necessary in case you need to email photos that you have taken right away.
P.S: doesnt matter if I am on WiFi or cellular data, it always reduces the size of the pics to a few hundred KBs
Nope and it is a pain.
You do have third party apps that will share pics at a higher resolution but it should be a native feature.
This is exactly what I'm talking about with WP8. These arbitrary iOS-like restrictions are doing nothing but turning away new users.
You gotta use Skydrive. That's the easiest way.
Which?Quote:

On my phone, the camera is set to take photos at a resolution of 6 MP. The SkyDrive app setting are set to photo upload size of original. Yet, on my PC, the size of the photos uploaded is between 200 to 300 KB. This can't be right.Quote:

so it doesn't really help you out if you are in the field somewhere and need to send someone full resolution right away.
Really? This is absolutely absurd if true.Quote:

There you will find the option to auto upload to SkyDrive, select it and you will see the auto upload settings for photos and video, choose best quality.
Now whenever you take new pictures the photos app will display new uploads waiting and when you connect to a WiFi network the new photos will start uploading to SkyDrive in full resolution!
while viewing a picture, tap on the three dots and choose 'Save to Skydrive'.Quote:

but they only let you do this over wifi, which is flipping stupid, IMO - let ME chooseQuote:

OK, I've just downloaded this photo from the MMPoweruser site, and indeed it shows the settings rajkumr is referring to. The thing is, I don't have the full settings on my phone, I just have 2 options under Photos: don't upload and upload.
Why is this?
Chenhogi, which windows phone do you have?
If you want to upload full res images to SkyDrive when out of Wifi coverage, there's an app in the store called Camera Roll Sync that does what you want.
