I bought a Nokia Lumia 1020 smartphone a few months ago, and I’ve been overall impressed with it. However, I noticed that although the camera is supposedly capable of taking 41 megapixel photos, it doesn’t seem to put out that quality. I know it’s only a smartphone so I’m not expecting too much from it, but I expected a little more.

I’m not sure if it’s just my settings, but when I take a photo, and I upload it to my computer via the USB lead, the pictures seem to have a lot of noise distortion. They appear to be fantastic quality when you make the images smaller in photoshop, but they don’t appear to be that good quality when at the maximum size and resolution.

I was reading a photography blog, and someone had written an article discussing the noise distortion of the photos, and I think it’s just down to the phone itself, but I’m not going to complain too much when the quality is better than every other smartphone camera (in my opinion).

Anyone else had this problem, or did you change the settings?

Have you tried to transfer the pictured via Wi-Fi? I had a similar problem on HTC, via Wi-Fi, the pictures were perfect

To be fair I’ve not tried transferring the pictures via wi-fi I didn’t think that would make a difference but it’s an interesting point. There has to be some kind of solution for it because when I checked on the photos Nokia themselves took and the photos it came with on the phone which they claim are taken using the Lumia 1020 camera, they look absolutely perfect.

Maybe it’s my settings but no matter how much I play around with them the quality of the pictures on my computer are nowhere near perfect.

I’ll try transferring them via wi-fi, thanks for the feedback!

hmmm.. that is a little weird. because of all positive things nokia is known for aside from durability and good voice reception, the image quality is superb indeed.

Nokia have had a long history of having good camera phones, even going as far back as the Nokia n70 mostly due to lens chocie Carl Zeuss lenses are kickass but even way back pre-smartphone nokia we’re putting 5 and 8 megapixel cams together in dumb phones

Its camera is cool. Picture quality is very clear. I have become a fan of windows phones. There cameras are best in their range of mobiles.

8MB camera or bigger?

I`m not very keen to find out more about Nokia, since I had a bad time with an Asha model, but I would give it some credit Laugh
