Is the camera capable of 4K/720p@120fps?

[anon(5725119)]

I was just wondering, is the camera on the 930 capable of things like 4K video recording and high frame rates? They would be cool additions in the next firmware if possible.

Exactly what I was just wondering lol, I know the sd800 is capable of 60 fps video recording so I hope we get this in the next update!

Anyone have any idea?

No is the short answer.
Maximum is 1080p at 30fps. Possibly 60fps via Debian Red firmware....

We don't know for sure if its truly capable since there's various factors such as the camera itself, the chipset, and then some.

It'll be safe to assume no unless Nokia pulls it off, but we shouldn't assume its possible.

Well the Snapdragon 800 surely capable of 4k and 60/120 fps workload. My Note 3 has these features. But yes the camera need to support this too. And on the Note 3 it was so so... 1080p 60fps was good but.... no optical image stabilisation. Slowmotion recording was horrible, resolution fropped to something like vga, it was a pixel counting fest.
My reason i jumped ship on using android for 4 years and must say, the lumia 930 does not dissapoint me at all. wonderful os to work with.

I'm guessing that if it is, Microsoft will make it possible to capture at different frame rates/resolutions with the next firmware update that comes with update 1.
I really hope it is

Just read an article that says some of these features are available on the HTC One for Windows, so hopefully the hardware is capable and the firmware for update 1 will enable these features!

Annnnddd... Apparently it is capable of taking a 4k video - which it will do in Lumi DENIM update coming this fall.

Lumia denim will allow it to capture 4k @24fps

Awesome news
though it doesn't sound like "full" video, more aimed at short clips:
"Moment Capture – A long press of the camera button starts 4K-quality video recording at 24 FPS. With each frame at 8.3 megapixels, you can save individual frames as high quality still images."

Although I don't mind as I'm far more likely to be using that.

One obvious downfall though, is that the memory is going to fill up VERY fast.
each frame @8.3mp, (so 3? MB per frame), 24 frames, 72MB per second.... ish.

Snapdragon 800 Devices will get 4k at 30fps
