41 MP. NOKIA LUMIA 1020

[surapon]

Dear Sir/ Madam, my friends.
I have another stupid Question for you. I just see the Advertize on TV, and Magazine that The Smart Phone Nokia Lumia 1020 have great German Lens and Great sensor for 41 MP for shoot the Photos.
Plus Less than $ 300 US Dollars if go to use AT & T service. My Question that, Because of I getting Old ( 64 Years old) and do not want to carry the 48 Pounds/ 22.5 Kilos of Cameras/ Lenses, in my back pack , and Fly around any more. Can I use this 41 MP. Smart Phone' camera function and get the good photos to beat all of my Canon Cameras ( 21.5 MP. ) and All Canon Lenses ?.
Thank you , Sir.

Can you? What do you think? Can it substitute that 300mm f/2.8?

 

[Loswr]

LOL.

 

[swampler]

Does this smell like spam to anyone else?

 

[RAKAMRAK]

I guess OP is just frustrated at the tall claims of the advertisement he saw. But he is probably mistaking the target audience and customer group of the ad.

Ok, to be honest... It has a great picture quality for a phone... http://press.nokia.com/wp-content/uploads/mediaplugin/photo/nokia-lumia-1020-pro-highres-3.jpg But maybe we have to compare it..

Maybe read this http://blog.gsmarena.com/nokia-lumia-1020-camera-compared-against-a-canon-60d-dslr-nokia-comes-out-on-top/

Form the M-50 mm. F/0.95 NOCTITUS M ASPH on FF to a smartphone - quite a big jump!

No, given the OP post history. Confusion, perhaps - not understanding that sensor size matters...

Thanks you, SIR, to all of my Friends.
Yes, I learn Some thing new in every day from This Great Group of Smart/ Expertise in Photography like you--In CR.
Yes, I am a Low tech of The Cell Phone, Just use my 7 Years old Cell Phone with 1.5 MP camera take some Record Photos , when I do not bring any camera with me.---Yes, Just for Recorded Picture is OK for me when I do not have the Big Camera.
No, I do not want That German 50 mm. F/ 0.95 any more---But May be Canon 50 mm f/ 1.2 L. that sell cheap, Less Than 1,300 US Dollars NOW, and Dump Sigma 50 MM F/ 1.4 to my Son's Collector.

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.


Today is my 70th birthday, I still carry my 5D MK III and 70-200L / 100-400mmL, but sold my 600mmL because the setup was too heavy.

OP, I have both a Nokia Lumia 1020 (I am a Windows Phone fan), a Canon 5D Mark 3, and a Canon Rebel t2i. No doubt, the Lumia 1020 takes the best photos available in any smartphone, but it does not beat a DSLR. You're comparing the electronics and technology crammed into a tiny smartphone, versus all the versatility a DSLR offers.

The image quality of the Lumia is nice, so are the non-amateur abilities to set things like ISO, shutter speed, white balance, etc. It is also very portable, so if carrying a DSLR is too inconvient, too heavy, or not allowed (like at sports venues), then the Lumia is a capable alternative.

I will be on a trip to Europe shortly (Austria/Germany). Originally, my plan was to bring my Canon 5DM3 and EOS M (for giving to others to take a photo of me, I don't hand anyone my 5D) as my cameras, while my Lumia 1020 would be there obviously for GPS/Internet/text, etc. But, I've since reconsidered and will be using the Lumia as my backup camera, and the camera I give to other tourists to take a photo of me.

For a simple comparison with the EOS M, the image quality of the EOS M is still noticeably better, and you can do more with the RAW image, but the Lumia is more than adequate. And with the Lumia, you can edit your photos onscene with numerous photo apps, geotag it, and upload it for all your friends to see instantly. If the photos are just going on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram, you'll be more than happy with the Lumia.

I recently did a photoshoot (cowgirl theme), and attempted to use the Lumia to compare it with the quality/versatility of my 5DM3 with a 70-200. The 5DM3 won hands down for that type of purpose.

Oh, I've also done 5 shot HDRs with the Lumia on a tabletop tripod and merged with Photomatix. Didn't come out too shabby.

That is a great Idea to Have the Light weight/ P& S camera or Smart Phone to let some one / The Local Guy take our Picture---If hand them a Big Camera and Big Lens, They Might think that we give to them, and they will run a way as fast as they can.
NO, I do not get EOS-M , Yet, I wait for the Next MK II which might come in next 4-6 months , with the Viewfinder, and better High ISO + GPS-----Ha, Ha, Ha---That is my Dream.
Thanks you, Sir, Nice to talk to you.

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

Today is my 70th birthday

haaappy birthday to youuuuu !



(late, but ill blame it on the time zone difference anyway, all the best and many more great pics)

 

[duydaniel]

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?

 

[9VIII]

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+.
