How good is the Zoom on the Nokia 1020?

The “digital zoom” feature on most phones is generally a disappointing alternative. Nokia changed that with the 808’s downsampling zoom, and the 1020 combines that technology with the optical image stabilization introduced in Nokia’s Lumia 920 that allows significantly better image quality in low light.

What is the difference between the Nokia 808 and 1020?

Nokia changed that with the 808’s downsampling zoom, and the 1020 combines that technology with the optical image stabilization introduced in Nokia’s Lumia 920 that allows significantly better image quality in low light.

What is the difference between the Lumia 920 and Lumia 1020?

The 920 is heavier than 1020. And they have different OIS systems. I bet the 1020 takes better low light images. No, the digital zoom here is better than what you think of, when you think of digital zoom. It’s mosly just a crop of the sensor, meaning that if you zoom in on the full resolution image you have almost the exact same quality.

Why didn’t the Lumia 1020 have OIS on the screen?

It’s obvious that the Lumia 1020’s multicore CPU isn’t fast enough to handle that amount of data. A bad move from Nokia which they did to make the device thinner. They should have used the SAME albeit thicker sensor from the 808PV and bloted OIS on that.

Why does the Nokia X5 have 41mp?

It’s the entire point. There’s not much point in taking 41 MP pictures on a mobile device but the Nokia takes those 41MP to produce low-noise 5MP images and allow for high-quality digital zoom. Seems pretty clever to me.
