Windows Phone 7′s camera and photo sharing experiences are probably among the most exciting on smartphones. Though, according to a new job offer, Microsoft is about to blow our mind away by “dominating the market with the best capture ever.”

Taking pictures and sharing the photos online through Facebook is probably one of the best experiences that the Windows Phone 7 have to provide to their owners. Though, Microsoft seems to believe that this experience can be improved as they are currently looking for some new staff dedicated to bring new ideas and experiences to the WP7 world. The job offer is quite fun to read and gives a first look of our WP7′s cameras’ future.

“One of the areas that we are investing heavily is the camera experience where we intend to make the “Window Phone the best camera you will ever own”. The Windows Phone division is creating a phone experience that is personal, relevant, connected and FUN! Do you care about the quality of the memories that you are capturing with your phone? We are looking for a VERY strong SDET to join our team and help bring our big vision to life.
The focus area of this team is our full end-to-end photo and camera experience from the hardware through software level. Your job is to ensure that experience is reliable, compelling both for customers and developers, performs well, and is super high-quality. In this position you will play a critical role in helping us take our current test arsenal and architect a solution that will let us run that arsenal across test environments, across locales, across identities, and across service boundaries.š We intend to dominate that market with the best capture and sharing experiences that delight the casual user to the digital enthusiast.
