Today we learned that Ari Partinen, former Lumia Photography Lead over at Nokia, was hired away by Apple. The move could indicate that Apple is pouring resources into developing a next-generation iPhone camera.
Earlier this week a series of leaked photos showed off what could be Nokia's full-on EOS 41-megapixel camera. Now, a video from the same source shows the thing in action—and it looks pretty serious.
We heard Nokia was planning on releasing a true, full-on PureView Windows Phone that would have a sensor as ridiculous as Nokia's 41-megapixel 808. Only this time it would run Windows Phone. Could this be it?
Released last year, the PureView 808 was essentially a prototype phone. It ran Nokia's dying—and now officially dead—Symbian operating system but its 41-megapixel, one-inch image sensor was a beast. Now, The Guardian reports what people have been speculating and rumoring since Nokia dropped the PureView 808 nearly a…
The saying is that the best camera is the one that's with you and that's more than often your phone. But phone cameras are getting so good that they may eventually just became the best camera period (DSLRs notwithstanding). And it might be sooner than you think. Already, phone cameras are better than a 5-year-old…
It seems that Nokia screwed their Lumia 920 camera demo even more than we thought. Not only they faked the video but also faked photos.
Nokia has come around and apologized for its sleight of hand trick on the PureView demo, saying it should have put a disclaimer saying that the video was not made with a Lumia phone. That's good on them. Even better though is that Nokia has released a video showing optical image stabilization footage taken with an…
When we watched the latest ad from Nokia showing off its PureView technology in the Lumia and ridiculously fluid optical image stabilization, we were stunned. Excited. Happy. If the camera on the Lumia was that good, we wanted it. Badly. Immediately. But sadly, it was faked. Nokia isn't showing off what the Lumia…
Nokia's Lumia 920 flagship Windows Phone looks promising, but the camera isn't quite what everyone was hoping for. Where as Nokia's 808 PureView phone packed a massive 41-megapixel sensor and mostly served as a proof of concept for the PureView tech, the Lumia 920's sensor is 8.7-megapixels, which Nokia says can…
After what Nokia did with its 808's insane camera, many a consumer was hoping that similar PureView technology would also feature in the impending new Lumia range. Don't hold your breath, though: as Nokia is keen to point out, PureView isn't about crazy pixel counts.
In an interview with Neowin, Nokia's vice president of worldwide developer relations, Richard Kerris, has explained that the company's PureView camera technology currently featured only in the 808 is coming to the Lumia range "very soon".
Nokia's 808 PureView is a strange little phone with it's cooky 41MP camera. But if you love a little crazy, then good news: after much delay the PureView is now available on America's shores via Amazon.
Nokia's 808 PureView may be more of a oddity than anything you'd actually want to buy, but at least now it's our oddity, too. The 41MP camera with a phone attached to it will finally wash up on America's shores at the end of this week, although like all good curios it comes at a cost.
Nokia is definitely not out of the woods yet. Yes, it is making a bit of headway with its pretty decent Lumia Windows Phone line, but an additional 10,000 job cuts, taking the total to 40,000, doesn't scream "winning" just yet.
Nokia's 41-megapixel PureView camera sensors take humongous photos that actually look pretty great. And they're coming to Nokia's Lumia Windows Phones, according to Nokia.
You've seen the kinds of monster photos the Nokia 808 PureView can snap, and read how it's got a digital zoom that doesn't turn everything into a pixelated mess. But how does it actually perform these miracles, and what the hell is Nokia doing shoving a colossal 41-megapixel sensor in a phone anyway?
We've said plenty about Nokia's new Pure View camera technology, but how do the shots look? Nokia has offered up some unretouched test shots on its blog, and while you can't take them entirely at face value—the company would never include unflattering pics, duh—it's at least a starting point for what we can expect.
Dreamt up in a hotel bar in Japan by a couple of Nokia execs, the Nokia 808 Pureview phone has completely stolen MWC with its 41-megapixel sensor. I grabbed some time with Nokia's lead programme manager for imaging, Damian Dinning, to chat about how it's "almost like [they've] just invented time travel, it's that…
