There's more to the 920's camera... this pdf has lots of Pureview information. But here's some of the more interesting stuff for the lazy
Sounds pretty innovative to me. Although, it would probably impress me more if I actually knew more about digital photography :happy: I don't know much about shutter speeds or exposure .
- Nokia is using a custom BSI 8.7MP sensor. This sensor can provide true 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios, which Nokia claims is "unique among smartphones" (e.g. the T-mobile MyTouch has a 5mp camera that takes 4mp pictures, thanks to 16:9 cropping of 4:3 images). Nokia's sensor is also "at least 10% larger than comparable sensors of the same resolution."
- Next generation LED flash. Nokia is using LED flash to provide a constant source of light, e.g. for use as a flashlight/torch and for low light videos. But, they are also using a "pulse flash burst" to mimic the effect of xenon flash. It is supposed to provide "a sharper picture of moving subjects than conventional LED’s."
- Nokia claims their optical stabilisation can deal with "around 50% more movements" than more conventional systems in digital cameras, or around 500 movements per second. While other smartphones have digital stabilisation, Nokia is the first to do it in hardware.
- Shutter speeds slower than 1/30th of a second often result in shaky photos. With optical stabilisation Nokia claims shutter speeds as long as 1/4th of a second are usable ("3EV improvement or 8x longer shutter speed"), which makes for great long exposure shots in the dark.
