41 Mp phone camera!!
Jul 12 13 11:11 pm Link Marketing. iPhone has 8? Fuck that, we got 41. Your phone only has 8 empees? Mine has 41! Mom, I want the one with 41 empeeeeeeeeeeessss!!!! Jul 12 13 11:29 pm Link There will be a shitload of really huge pictures run through crummy instagram filters all over the place. Jul 12 13 11:47 pm Link Well... in the article is says it's for digital zooming and will only capture 5MP pics... so instagram is safe I think.

Jul 13 13 01:06 am Link No matter how super cool the camera features on a smart phone may be... Smart people know the real reason why you choose a smart phone... A smart Operating System. . .

The 5mp image is for digital zooming without pixelating and for sharing on social networking sites but it looks like you can still get the high resolution image as well (though you get either 33mp or 38mp depending on aspect ratio). Jul 13 13 03:42 am Link it takes a 38 hi res version and at the same time an oversampled 5mp version for sharing. I've been following this phone for months, so it will be interesting to see actual shots. it will replace my Nokia 920 when my contract ends in November. Jul 13 13 11:15 am Link I'll wait to get one until they come up with interchangeable lenses. Jul 13 13 11:22 am Link Should we consider this the first "full frame" phone...... Jul 13 13 11:27 am Link Top Gun Digital wrote: why? Jul 13 13 11:41 am Link How many pics can you hold on that? How big would an average pic be? 35mb? Jul 13 13 12:42 pm Link Top Gun Digital wrote: It's bigger. 38x25. Full frame would be 36x24 Jul 13 13 01:40 pm Link Rick OBanion Photo wrote: It is a 5MP Camera. It is a 41MP so that it allows the Camera zoom without using optical zoom. From engineering point of view, Optical zoom is expensive and require movement (which creates less reliable). Jul 13 13 01:47 pm Link It's really a camera, but with a phone. Next thing you know, Nikon and Canon will crank out phones, but with full frame 100mp cameras, probably within the next year. Jul 13 13 02:03 pm Link Sigh ... ... and here I am, trying to save some money for a used medium format digital back ... Jul 13 13 02:28 pm Link Hopefully it has a bigger lens than an iPhone.... Jul 13 13 02:41 pm Link cool, will it have a pc sync socket for my bees Jul 13 13 02:47 pm Link Tulack wrote: Its a 1/1.5 inch sensor that's a bit smaller than full frame. Jul 13 13 02:56 pm Link They've actually already released a phone with the 41mp camera last year. sample images can be seen at the bottom http://blog.wirelessground.com/nokia-808-pureview/ Jul 14 13 12:11 am Link Quality is quite something for the size of the camera: http://connect.dpreview.com/files/p/cms … res-17.jpg Jul 14 13 02:59 am Link Ruben Sanchez wrote: Nikon is already considering a shift in strategy.... Jul 14 13 03:41 am Link I am struggling to understand the market niche here. This seems to be a camera with a (Symbian OS) phone. 20 years ago, folks bought a mobile phone and then bought a camera. 10 years ago things started to converge and they bought a PHONE with a camera. Are we now thinking that folks will buy a CAMERA with a phone? Will that become a new convergent device? I just don't see it. I don't see the stack order of consumer preferences putting the camera ahead of the phone (and its size, shape, weight, looks). But, like most other things tech, convergence of devices will be driven by those a generation younger than I and I am interested to see how it will turn out. Jul 14 13 03:54 am Link Interesting that it will use non-destructive cropping (i.e. Original image is saved, just that you see the cropped image each time.). Probably runs on Windows 8 from the screen shot. It actually implies Windows 8.1. Might be memory handling issues it needs to run the thing being dual-core and camera's image files. Don't know about Hipstamatic over Instagram. To take on Instagram could be a disaster since it is part of Facebook and very established with the Apple users. It's no wonder Adobe ran to "The Cloud" to lock-in subscriptions and cash flow. This change of game could be telling for their future on the next camera generation. They hinted at it in their SEC report around page 44 as I recall and it went on for 10 pages. Seemed worried at their future in the report. Nikon might be smart to move into the field somehow as they are hinting. SIM card in their DSLR lineup along with built-in Wi-Fi and pad support? Might need some sort of image processing onboard to get file sizes suited to wireless transfer if they go heavy to a 100MP sensor. Next 10 years will be interesting. Probably won't look like anything now at all. Jul 14 13 08:45 am Link What good are 41 tiny and noisy pixels? They should be going for lower noise and greater dynamic range instead.
