41 MP. NOKIA LUMIA 1020

How is the bokeh & subject separation on this?
How about the dynamic range?
And is the low light performance any good?

I am not a fan of phone photography but very interested in seeing the image compared with my Canon 5D3
given so much crazy MP, I would assume that the 5D3 will lose in detail when snapshot in controlled environment?

Grr, another example showing that we would benefit from high MP sensors.

I have a feeling it's just processor speed keeping things around 20MP (Canon won't sell a 1fps camera). Can't wait for Digic 7,8,9+.

I just came back from my 1-month Germany/Austria trip. I was impressed with the daytime and DR capabilities of the Lumia 1020. Night shots weren't too shabby, but won't beat a handheld f2/.8 DSLR lens. Still processing all my photos, but will put up a Facebook gallery when its up so you can decide for yourselves whether a high quality smart phone is a worthwhile companion to a DSLR.

quick sad story: 1 week into my trip, my tripod blew over during high winds in the alps and destroyed my 24-70II, so I only had my Lumia to take photos with until I was able to buy a cheap temporary lens several days later (Tamron 28-75mm, not too shabby in hindsight and reviewing of my photos).

Dear friend Surapon. With all due respect, there comes a time when we must recognize that our health and vitality is no longer that of decades ago. I spent the night working with a video camera shoulder, and came home exhausted. And not yet completed even 40 years of age. In my opinion, makes sense to replace some top of the line equipment, with other more modern and light, even if it costs some loss of image quality. Even if I had the money, I would not use 1DX + 70-200 2.8 II + 600EX. Honestly, a set that weighs 30% less, would have much more use to me. But, I would not be so radical as to replace my DSLR for a cell phone. A good APS-C camera can do today, what only Canon 1D mark II could do a few years ago.

Here are photos I took using the Nokia Lumia 1020 while on my Austria & Bavaria trip last month.
These images were the 34 MP images, converted to low res images (70% smaller via Irfanview), and then again made low res by Facebook. I did very little PP with them, as that's what the DSLR RAWs are for. Hope you enjoy:

More and more people are using camera phones, and the Nokia is the best.  That means that it approaches the capability of a low end P&S.  The Nokia cannot beat even a old Canon Rebel 300D at 6MP.  Sensor size is the reason.

If sensor size is the reason then the Lumia 1020 should not only approach the capabilty of a low end P&S, but exceed it... Like, easily.
That phone's sensor is 2/3 inches big, which surpasses even the size of Canons pro-oriented PowerShots like the G16 by quite a bit, and is the same size as high-end point-and-shoots like the pricey Fuji X20.
The almost two year old predecessor of the Lumia, the Nokia 808, even has a 1/1.2 inch sensor, which size-wise almost plays in the same league as Nikons 1 series of ILC's and Sony's sensor-size-praised RX100.

But neither point-and-shoots nor smartphone cameras yet fulfill my imaging desires, which is why I'll stick to ILC's of at least APS-C.
My phone basically just makes phonecalls and plays music. Where I go, my EOS-M goes.

Cheers friends.
