Compare Nokia 808 PureView and Lumia 920 Cameras !

Nokia Lumia 920 has appeared and the Finns have decided to brand its camera as a PureView one. But this PureView not must be PureView on his 808 PureView and Nokia has explained: If 808 focused on the zoom feature does not break more and increase the sampling frequency (oversampling), 902 strength to handle low-light environment the ability optical image stabilization (OIS).

Nokia’s camera guru, Damian Dinning, Lead Program Manager of Imaging Experience, took it to Twitter to explain the differences between the two PureView phones: Nokia 808 PureView vs. Nokia Lumia 920, in terms of differences and similarities between them.

Camera movement: if there is none, the 808 PureView produces “more detailed images with less noise due to oversampling”. However, when there is some camera movement in both stills and video the Lumia 920 will come out on top due to OIS (optical image stabilization).

Whenever using the two cameras in low light conditions and automatic settings the Lumia 920 will produce better results because of OIS. However, if you go full manual with the 808 (either night mode or manual ISO setting which can bump shutter speeds up to 2.7 seconds) “it will provide better images due to oversampling”.

When recording video the Lumia 920 will produce smoother outputs because of the image stabilization but the 808 will allow you to take advantage of lossless zooming.

Audio, while stereo with “rich recording” on the 808 PureView, will unfortunately only be mono on the Lumia 920.

Zooming is lossless on the 808 PureView in both images and video while the Lumia 920 takes advantage of Windows Phone 8-supported “lens” apps.

Above are the basic strengths and weaknesses between the two phones technology PureView of Nokia. Preliminary and can say that the Lumia 920 would be a great choice for those who prefer to use the camera in fully automatic mode while 808 PureView will make the "players" more pro intervene in the crystal further enhanced as ISO, shutter speed and aperture ...
