Lumia 930 vs 920 picture size

[Burnbackin]

Hi, I've noticed that the file size of the pics from my 920 are bigger than those from my Lumia 930 (5MP). I was wondering why this is the case as the 930 has a much higher camera resolution. Many thanks for shedding some light on this.

It is normal for an 8MP image from 920 to have higher file size than a 5MP-oversampled image from 1520/930.

Ok, so the clue here is that the 920 doesn't use oversampling, and thus has a raw 8MP picture...thx for the clarification.

You can access the full 16-19 MP photos if you set it right or access it directly, but by default 5 MP photos are put out.
