Much has
been written about the camera in the Nokia Lumia 920. The camera carries
the PureView moniker, made famous by the 41-megapixel Nokia 808.
Unfortunately, the Nokia Lumia 920 does not have the 41-megapixel sensor
or the oversampling technology found in the 808, so we're not sure what
component of 'PureView' technology has been carried forward here.
Nonetheless, the camera doesn't let us down.
There are two things that the Nokia Lumia 920 camera does better than any other camera-phone out there. The first is photography under low-light conditions, where the Lumia 920's imaging capabilities really come to light (excuse the bad pun). Images clicked in poor light conditions using the Lumia 920 are much better than those clicked with the iPhone 5, perhaps the Lumia 920's closest match in low-light photography. However, if you really cherish a shot, we would recommend clicking an extra snap or two, since the results can be a little bit unpredictable in terms of which object gains focus.
The other area where we can safely say the Lumia 920 is lightyears ahead of the competition if image stabilisation. We shot side-by-side videos taken with the Lumia 920 and competition, and the difference was like night and day. Nokia has suspended the entire Lumia 920 optical assembly using tiny springs that absorb shocks and the results are stunning. If you are fond of taking videos on the move, or just have the hands of a drunken sailor like us, you'll love the Nokia Lumia 920's cameras.
Windows Phone 8 introduced the concept of camera lenses, which let you see and click images in a "different light". Nokia Lumia 920 comes with Bing Vision, Panorama, Cinemagraph and Smart Shoot lenses to cater to various shooting moods and requirements.
