[citation][nom]epdm2be[/nom]@ samuraibiged: Why do you comment about bad photos when you haven't seen a goddamn photo at all! SEE the photos first THEN comment!Secondly this phone has the LARGEST sensor in any cellphone. In fact it's equal in size then some point&shoot models (It's 5 times larger than the typical 1/3.2" sensor used in most 8Mpixel camera-smartphones.). Stop DELUDE yourself with your biased comments.This is not 41megapixels crammed into a small sensor! This is a 5x larger sensor with space for 41 Mpixels to produce 5Mpixels end-user photo's of impeccable quality (virtually noisefree LOOK AT THE PICS goddamned)!I hate these presumptuous f@(ks who comment without properly investigating things. Those bloody nokia-haters. Instead of being unbiased and embrace this technology as something positive. I know you f*&%ks rather want a windows phone, Androidphone or iPhone with this tech but is it ain't so just yet. Eventually they too will have better camera's and in the future even similar tech like Nokia has today. It still doesn't give YOU the right to bash this down, just because YOU don't like 2012 Symbian (without even use it or have seen it as many commenters have only experience with a 2008 N97).[/citation]
Sorry, really starting to hate IE, here is the correct post.
epdm2be,
Never once did I "bash" Nokia nor resort to name calling, my comment was directed at sensor quality, something I am very informed about. The laws of physics still apply last time I checked and even at 5 times the size of a typical phone sensor that is considerably smaller than a full frame sensor. Sensors work by arranging a grid of "pixels" with a lens located above that gathers and focuses the light on that particular pixel and to fit more pixels on a given sensor reults in a smaller lens which gathers less light. As I said in my comment, more megapixels does not equate to better picture quality, there is a saturation point, generally in the 14-16 megapixel range for point and shoot cameras, a little more for APS sensors.
This being the case, yes with software correction you can increase the picture quality, but not to the point that it will equal a larger sensor, the light information is not captured and can not be artificially produced. You may get a good picture but at what size, can this picture be blown up to the same size as a full frame, not likely. Software can only do so much with the information given to it, while they may have stretched the limits of what is possible but they can't break the laws of physics.
As far as being a Nokia hater, once again I never said anything to this effect, in fact I will tell you the same about any camera phone regardless of manufacturer or OS. I applaud Nokia for making improvements but I will take it for what it is, a phone built into a point and shoot format camera, this is not a typical camera phone but it is still far from a full frame camera.
On another note, this mindset that camera phones are going to catch up to and replace real cameras is nothing but industry lip-service meant to sell more devices to the general public who will follow what they are told. For Joe Blow who only uses a point and shoot camera only a camera phone may very well suffice, but if you are even remotely serious about taking pictures, even at the hobby level it will never do the job of a larger format camera. For every advancement made in camera phones there are as many or more made in cameras.
