    Today Nokia unveiled the Lumia 1020, its flagship 41MP camera-centric smartphone for Windows Phone 8. Aimed squarely at photo enthusiasts, the Lumia 1020 employs a large and extremely high resolution 41MP imaging sensor that we first saw in the ground-breaking 808 PureView. However, the 1020 has the decided advantage of running on the Windows Phone 8 platform instead of the end-of-life Symbian OS. Our sister site, connect.dpreview.com is at the launch event in New York and has published a detailed hands-on look at the new phone. Click through for more.

    While the Lumia 925 Nokia announced today may not offer the stunning specs of the 808’s PureView technology, the device does hold promise for mobile photography fans.

  • Nokia 808 pureview sample – Glimpses of a Finnish Spring 30 FPS!

    www.mhnet.in A lucky YouTube user got his hands on a Nokia 808 PureView and to our delight focused on its camcorder abilities instead of its imaging skills. He shot a series of video clips at different scene modes with the Nokia 808 PureView and a tripod, and patched them into one clip using the Sony Vegas editing software. In his lengthy notes about the video on YouTube he explains that he mainly used the phone’s automatic scene mode, but found that you can’t focus far away or to infinity on it. He also used the macro mode for shooting close up scenes. Update: The previous video was accidentally rendered at 25fps. The author has now re-uploaded it at the correct 30fps. Below we have the new video. At certain points of the video you’ll see the continuous autofocus in action but the creator of the video also used touch focus to switch between close up elements and those further away from the lens. We also see the smooth zoom of the PureView in action. Keep in mind that this could be an elaborate trick on the video-maker’s part. We found the depth of field is unbelievably shallow for a mobile phone and the auto focus on the video reminiscent of some the recent Nikon DSLRs. Still it’s a nice effort even if it turns out fake.

  • Connect: Nokia Lumia 920 review

    nokia.JPG

    The Lumia 920 is Nokia’s current flagship smartphone and the second phone graced with the Finnish manufacturer’s PureView branding. Unfortunately this is not the same, large-sensor ‘PureView’ concept as the 808′ but a fast F2.0 lens, optical image stabilization and true multi-aspect-ratio support still make the Lumia 920, at least on paper, look like a very promising connected imaging device. Peter Ferenczi has tested the phone for Connect, click through to see how he got on.
