So I found out the other day that oversampling is a very basic algorithm which averages surrounding pixels to make a sharper smaller picture.
What I mean is, on your laptop, assume you have a 1080p display. That's 2MP. If you take a picture that is 8MP, and display it zoomed out, the computer is automatically oversampling it to 2MP.
So if you have a 41mp picture that you took on your Lumia 1020, and just shrink it down to 5MP in windows photo viewer, the image quality be the same as the Nokia oversampled 5MP picture? Can someone try this? Or has someone tried this? It would be nice if Nokia was doing some kind of magic with their oversampling, or if it's just the same as zooming out on a picture in a photo viewer.
Thanks!
