Nokia times first use latest Nokia Lumia 1020, 41 megapixel photo sensor at 808 PureView smartphone which was released in mid-last year. Despite bringing a breakthrough in terms of camera, smart phone is not too successful in attracting user interest.
Now, Nokia has introduced the next generation of the sensor, which is embedded on the latest Nokia Lumia 1020. This smartphone uses the Windows Phone 8 operating system with a variety of features, but the most prominent-and enjoy-is deliberately camera capabilities.
Although both carry the label "41 megapixels", Nokia says that Lumia's camera sensor on 1020 a new type of back-side illumination technology (BSI) which has the ability to capture light better.
The new sensor size is smaller than 30 percent contained at 808 PureView, which is 1/1, 5 inches versus 1/1, 2 inches, but still larger than the sensor 1/1, 7 inches which is generally used by a pocket camera. Larger sensor promises better photo results.
41 megapixel numbers here are the specifications contained the maximum number of pixels on the sensor. The camera on the Lumia 1020 alone is capable of producing the greatest photo of size 34 to 38 megapixels (7712x4352 or 7712x5360), depending on the aspect ratio selected image.
Finnish mobile phone maker is also soon releasing these examples catches resulting image Lumia 1020. In full resolution, size is quite remarkable, reaching tens of megabytes per photo.
Nokia Crop 100 percent of the center of the previous photo.
However, as can be seen from the results above 100 percent cropping, the images Lumia 1020 looks very sharp and capable of recording small details in a scene, at least in ideal light conditions.
For more examples of the photos, including the size of the full-res here are some sample images with low lighting, visit the Flickr account Lumia 1020 in the following link.
Using Nokia Lumia 2010 in The sweet spot
The Nokia 1020 is capable of capturing images in two sizes at once, ie 34/38 megapixel and 5 megapixel generated by oversampling technique. That is, 34 or 38 megapixel resolution had been "compressed" into photos which has a 5 megapixel camera sharpness is higher than the results from the 5-megapixel photo camera or other smartphone.
To illustrate this point, Nokia presents the results of comparative illustrations 5 megapixel photos from Lumia 1020 and 5 megapixel photos from camera "conventional", as can be seen below.

By reducing the resolution to 5 megapixels, file size even by itself reduced drastically so that it can uploaded or distributed through the smartphone easily. Imagine what would happen if the users have to wait for the upload photo size of 15 megabytes each time you want to share pictures on Facebook.
Then, why is the 5 megapixel? In explanation of the white paper on the camera technology Lumia 1020, Nokia explained that the figure is an ideal point or sweet spot, which in the case of the photos can be shared with ease while still maintaining quality. Photo 5 megapixel Lumia 1020 claimed to have great prints up to A3 size.
By reducing the image resolution to 5 megapixels, 1020 Lumia users also can do as much as 3x digital zoom without decreasing image quality typically occurs on other smartphones.
The decrease was due to the quality of the digital zoom on a smartphone or other camera work with cutting-resolution image, and then raise it back to the resolution of "normal" so that the image looks broken, blurred, and not sharp. Lumia 1020 do not have to experience this from the outset because it provides a very high resolution.
A similar concept brought by HTC through the camera "Ultrapixel" on HTC smartphone that only has a resolution of 4 megapixels but is able to produce high quality photos. The difference, HTC accomplish this by using a pixel size (fotodiode) larger than a smartphone camera sensors in general.
So far the images Lumia example in 1020 only a few samples were circulated by Nokia. Actual capabilities of the smartphone camera will know more clearly once been much reviewed later.
It's very recommended for photography enthusiast to use this latest Nokia Lumia 1020
