Nokia Lumia 920 Pureview Camera: bad ads or bad camera? New evidence suggests the former.

The Nokia Lumia 920 Windows Telephone's Pureview Photographic camera turned a lot of heads this calendar week with it'southward very impressive low light and stabilizing features. The demo video and still images gave hope that a "knock your socks off" camera was heading to the Lumia Windows Telephone line. Merely the video and even so images have been dissected more than than a Loftier School scientific discipline project with accusations that Nokia faked it all and the photographic camera isn't as grand as Nokia would like us to recollect. Only is this a example of bad advert or a bad camera?

We remember it's two split up bug and too many nay sayes are trying to mesh them together to make the Lumia 920 look bad. We believe this because the specs on paper lead acceptance to the camera's touted performance and near importantly because we've seen the camera perform upwards close and personal.

We believe the Pureview Camera volition be a solid performer based on two things, specification and personal observations. On newspaper the Lumia 920's Pureview Photographic camera has a eight.7mp camera that is fitted with a 28mm f2.0 lens. The sensor is a BSI sensor that has the wiring behind the receptors to permit for more than calorie-free to hit the sensor. The optical housing is stabilized past a series of springs that allows for more stable operation when using slower shutter speeds. Having used similar technology on other devices and based on my feel as a photographer, all these elements combined gives the Pureview Camera the potential to exist a better low calorie-free performer than other smartphone cameras.

There is always a take a chance that what is on paper doesn't translate every bit successful in real life. In that location is always a possibility that the Pureview Camera could fall flat on it'south front element but we've seen information technology up shut and personal in action and the performance quality is at that place.

New prototype samples from the Verge shows the 920 still out-performing the competition

To farther bolster the low light operation of the Lumia 920, an old friend who used to haunt these parts was given the opportunity to take the Lumia 920 out for a dark test drive. Dieter Bohn from over at The Verge compared the Lumia 920 to the Samsung Galaxy South III, Apple iPhone 4S, the HTC Ane 10 and the Lumia 900. Dieter's decision,

"The Lumia 920 takes very good low-light images, the OIS compensates for enough hand shake to accept in light to create a photo in situations where you'd look none are possible. In nearly darkness, nosotros will say that it took a relatively steady hand to get a shot without camera shake — merely that's a very small complaint. While nosotros were getting blur on the 920, we were getting vastly darker and grainier images on the remainder."

I had to raise an eyebrow when Nokia apologized and admitted the footage was a simulation of what the Pureview Camera could practice. Based on all that I know, I discounted the critics and felt the videos and stills were legitimate. The performance and quality results made sense. Then I remembered that most advertisements are simulations to take hold of your attention and it's not that uncommon.

From "Bounty being the quicker picker upper" to machine ads that testify mini-vans conducting loftier speed maneuvers. They are all simulations of performance with one exception. Most of these ads will have fine print disclaimers letting everyone know what they are watching is a simulation. Not having such clarification doesn't help Nokia and the footage and photos should never have been shown without such a disclaimer.

But that omission should reflect poorly on the advert agency, not the camera. Due to our competitive nature we endeavour to associate one poor decision as an indictment on the whole.

Consider this, this isn't Nokia's first ad blunder. Remember the Beta Test advert campaign? Where Nokia boasted that they had finally gotten the smartphone right? Then a few days later the data connectivity issues surfaced on the Lumia 900 and it was obvious that Nokia didn't go it right. Nokia jumped on the outcome, fixed the problem and while the advertizement campaign didn't make Nokia look good, the Lumia 900 is still a quality Windows Phone. We retrieve the same will hold true on the Pureview Camera.

With the Lumia 920's Pureview Camera we know that it has the potential based on the specifications and we have a 2 reliable sources who take witnessed it'due south performance. That's enough for me to cut Nokia some slack for a bad advert decision and yet believe that nosotros'll see a fantastic camera on the Lumia 920.
