When will Nokia’s 41 megapixel camera phone be released?

28 Feb 2012/May 2nd, 2012 at 10:30 PM this the release.

Nokia has made their most excellent 41-megapixel camera 808 Preview with a digital zoom. However, it appears that they are having some issues with the extent of the sensor. This 808 image sensor has a mass resolution; but not only that, they are also larger on its physical size. As of today, it is bigger than (if not the entire) Smartphones ever. The pixel upon sampling also lets Nokia to improve a failure in digital zoom which is most likely the most essential part on most people.

Essentially, when you zoom out the camera, the extent of over sampling will lessen until it reaches the required actual resolution. So if you have put up 5 megapixels, it is possible to zoom until over sampling is over and by using this 5 megapixel area of the sensor. Scaling and interpolation is not possible but a 5 megapixel picture.

On the same resolution, it will provide you a 3x loss less zoom for pictures and 4x zoom on high-definition movies. If you lessen the resolution, you will get added loss less zoom.

When operating the zoom, Nokia added a pristine slide zoom function that allows the user to slide your finger everywhere on the display to nicely move in and out. Without the moving optics, you cannot hear the zoom on recording. In terms of optics, the Nokia lenses was even more stimulating.

The Carl Zeiss 5-element lens consists of an index and a low-dispersal lens made of glass which is better than a plastic just like with the other Smartphones. It is made of a big f2.4 opening consist a 26mm focal length on 16:9 and 28mm on 4.3. Nokia takes the mixture next to the large sensor size that will add a very nice background blur when taking close-up photos.

The 808 is possible to focus on nearly 6-inches from the subject. With the loss less zoom, it is possible to take a close-up on the subject and get a fine detail.

Without the optical zoom, the camera utilized a f2.4 opening on the range of zoom. Optical zooms  on a reduced camera utilize an increasingly smaller opening as you spread the lens, which simply means you have to employ a greater ISO sensitivities and a reduced shutter speeds to get rid of getting blurry photos.

This 808 f2.4 lens and the digital zoom will not have the same dispute, so it can hold the ISO low for fewer noise and will still utilize a much accelerated speed.
