[citation][nom]aftcomet[/nom]While a good camera is important, it shouldn't be the only focus of the phone. A basic DSLR will still laughably outperform it. I'd rather they invested those resources into a really nice screen since you're looking at it the most.[/citation]
so, you take that dslr everywhere you go? no? i didnt think so.
try to find pictures this camera takes. they are amazeing, especialy once you crop them to a 5-8mp range, they come out better than the 3-400$ stand alone cameras that i have used.
i would consider this a camera with a phone attached to it, and in all honesty, it would be for the best considering smartphones cost around the same, but this takes a good picture apposed to them.
the reason for the over sized mp camera is so the images can be cropped and produce a picture of FAR higher quality than normal.
[citation][nom]bustapr[/nom]just in case you havent noticed yet. this phone hasnt launched yet and no phone has ever been shown with this type of camera. 41mp is far higher than any other 8mp on todays high end phones. a basic dslr might be able to outperform it, but hardly noone walks around with a DSLR around their neck. This is a phone and it will most likely have the best camera seen in phones for a very long time or until another gen of nokias is released or when someone else copies the idea. Just because it might be worse than a basic DSLR doesnt mean its photos will be shit.also a 41mp camera is miles better marketing than a prettier screen.[/citation]
think of a standard consumer 12mp camera, at 12 mp, it comes out looking like crap, but once you crop it down to 3-5mp, it looks great. most dslr dont need to be cropped to make the image look better, and if they do, its FAR less of a crop or you did something wrong.
the camera at 41 mp is not very good, but i put the image quality at just slightly worse than a sony cybershot 8ish mp, i dont know the exact number. and thats image quality without a crop
