Full Resolution Camera Nokia 808 PureView

The Nokia 808 PureView is breaking new ground with its 41 Megapixel camera. But as Nokia’s camera guru Damien Dinning himself explains, its not about using the 41 Megapixel sensor for full resolution photos, but to take those 8 Megapixel images from it that will be far better than anything else on the market.

Another advantage is lossless zoom, because you are coming from a 41 MP sensor, there is no need of the useless digital zoom that ruins pictures without fail.

However, there may be times when you do want to shoot in ultra high resolution, and Nokia’s created an advanced ‘Creative’ mode for that. In that mode you can shoot at 38 MP if you are using the 4:3 aspect ratio or 34 MP if you’re shooting in 16:9. The obvious advantage of shooting in such a high resolution (7728 x 4354 or 7152 x 5368) is that you can crop any part of the image and it will remain very useable. For example, look at the pictures below.
