      Can't wait to see this with a Windows Phone by Nokia.

      People are often amazed by the megapixel resolution of cameras and think larger is better but this is not always the case. My old 10 MP DLSR camera blows the pictures taken from my friend's 16+ MP Point & Shoot camera out of the water.

      That being said, when I had my Nokia N95, it took amazing pictures.

      @ lmcjipo,
      The camera doesn't record 41MP images. The large sensor just gives the imaging system loads of information to use in processing the final image. It also allows for lossless digital zoom. The actual image resolution that is saved is 5MP (but with truly stunning image quality, if the samples are to be believed).

      Good informative interview with Dinning.. great guy

      video one



      quick facts

      - The PureView technology has been developed for the past five years and in parallel with other technologies implemented in recent Nokia camraphones.
      - Lossless Zoom: 3x for Stills, 4x for 1080p video, 6x for 720p video, 12x for nHD video.
      - Dual modus sensor supporting both aspect ratios: 16:9 at 34 effective MP, and 4:3 at 38 effective MP.
      - 26-76 mm zoom range, maintaining same aperture over all the range! This means 3.5 stops advantages enabling up to 6x faster shutter speeds!
      - Contrast to optical zooming, distortion is kept at minimal level!
      - Zooming is all silent as there are no optical elements moving back and forth. (Important in video capturing)
      - The lens is produced at 10x more precision than SLR lenses to cope with the 41 MP sensor!
      - The whole camera module is at 50% to 70% less in size compared to similar range zooms!
      - Maintain same 15 cm minimal focus distance for the whole zoom range!
      - The huge sensor enables a longer focal length of 8.02 mm (equivalent to 26mm and 28mm depending on the aspect ratio), which coupled with the wide F2.4 aperture enables Bokeh effects current compact cameras can't achieve!!!
      In comparison, the high-end Canon G12, has a 6.1-30.5 mm equivalent to 28-140 mm, and at F2.8-4.5!!
      - The 41 MP 1/1.2" sensor has a native pixel size of 1.4 microns.
      - Offering Slide Zoom: Swipe up or down on the viewfinder to automatically adjust the zoom steps and the output resolution of the desired photo!
      - Processing at 1000 MP/sec and 16x oversampling than conventional cameras and smartphones!! There is a built-in GPU in the camera module to help in the process!
      - Nokia Rich Record: Capture sound at 140-145 db, more than even some professional cameras can achieve, and at minimal distortion levels enabling CD-like quality!!
      - Oversampling eliminates Bayern pattern problems which could lead to certain artifacts! Which in turn leads to pure high-quality detailed 5MP photos!
