what exactly? You can do the same with 808...which has even more powerful flash.
I read this somewhere: camera is like a paint brush, painting depends on how good the painter is, not on the paintbrush.
I'd get a 1020 for the versatility (though I'd rather get an 808, since it works better as a phone)
Either an 808 or a DSLR for the quality.
The 808 has a larger FSI sensor than the 1020 BSI sensor. Oh well.
good, then we can all switch to VGA cameras
The difference between the 808 and the 1020 is smaller than the difference between an 808 and a DSLR. I'd even go as far as saying that the 1020 will be better than the 808 shooting available light, like in a pub for example.
may be you didnt understand my response, a better camera doesnot necessarily take a better photo, its about the photographer, more talented he is, the better the photo will be. you disagree??please do so, but before you do it, just head over to flickr and see works of some talented photographers with nokia 808, and compare it too some ****ty work of dslr owner.
camera doesnot elevate your photographic talent.
better camera takes better photo the same way better photographer will take better photo, combination of two gives the best results how would you take a good photo in a very low light situation with an iphone? Impossibiru.

The Xenon Flash is a bit smaller than on the Nokia 808: GN 3.2 versus GN 3.5 – GN stands for light output.
I can't see how weaker xenon can shoot longer distance and don't forget Nokia is trying to sell 1020 while 808 production is stopped so they will advertise it as the best device in every aspect and I don't believe them one bit there(remember "stabilisation van")
I agree, you see an average person will take a photo in auto mode in 808, which you will agree, is not that great, but a talented photographer will switch to creative mode and try different settings.
in IQ terms? I'm not sure...and colors on 808&DSLR are almost the same natural colors while 1020 colors are same like on other basic smartphones like Xperia Z etc. Nothing strange since 808&DSLRs use FSI sensor while 1020&basic smartphones use BSI...
That has nothing to do with the sensor type. It has to do with the image processing. You can make a DSLR's output look like it was shot in Disney cartoon. Nokia just opted for a more saturnated output with the 1020. Hell, the standard JPEG output varies widely between different DSLR manufacturers.
Canon is a bit punchier but not that much
look at this comparison with 808, not much difference although you can say it's a slight bit punchier

now look at the comparison between 808 Minolta and Iphone 4(which has BSI sensor), look at the tower color, it's literally night&day

What would you choose to buy if you are into photography as a hobby?! And why?
Even though I'm biased and obsessed with the 1020, it won't replace a DSLR anytime soon. Maybe a cheapo-mid range PnS, but not a DSLR. That said, the 1020 is a good complement with a DSLR, not a replacement.
