Nokia has announced a new camera, sorry a new smartphone called the Nokia 808 PureView. 808 PureView is a Nokia Belle OS powered phone with a 1.3 GHz processor and sporting a 41 megapixel camera, yes that’s right 41 MP sensor. This handset showed up on the Indiatimes site for Rs. 29,999 with availability in a weeks time, but now Nokia has asked the site to remove the price tag and listing stating that it is a dummy price, so lower down your excitement.
Wow I wonder if the 808 PureView is a camera with a phone or is it a phone with a camera. 41 MP camera is no doubt impressive. Images can be clicked in 38 MP resolutions (creative shooting mode) and then zoomed in, cropped and a particular area is saved (picture within picture).
The other option is using oversampling technology coupled with Carl Zeiss lens and the high density sensor. Images will be shot in 5 MP or 8 MP resolutions and then using oversampling technology 7 pixels will be combined into 1 pure pixel. This will eliminate the visual noise usually found on mobile cameras. So users can shoot high detail images in 5 to 8 MP resolution and can zoom 3X time with zero loss in quality.
