Lumia 920 Camera

Lumia 920 has 8.7 MP camera. But when we compare it with other 8MP race both have the same resolution of (3264x2448). So where is this 0.7MP lost?

From what I understand: 16:9 uses 8.7MP to closely match the number of pixels in the 4:3 mode that uses 8.0MP.

16:9 is 7MP and 4:3 is 8MP
But the 8,7MP matches the width for the 16:9 7mp pics.

(3264x2448) is no where close to 16:9 aspect ratio.

Thats why i said number of pixels and not dimensions...

It has to do with the aspect ratio... the extra .7 allows for the 16:9 ratio on the 1/3" sensor to match the pixels of the 4:3 ratio. Sounds like a little wiggle room so things can be stretched if you will...
