"People will inevitably home in on the number of pixels the Nokia 808 PureView packs, but they’re missing the point. The ‘big deal’ is how they’re used. At Nokia, our focus has always been capability and performance.

The main way to build smaller cameras over the years has been to reduce the pixel size. These have shrunk just over the past 6 years from 2.2 microns, to 1.75 microns, to 1.4 microns (which is where most compact digital cameras and smartphones are today). Some new products are on the way with 1.1 micron pixels. But here’s the problem. The smaller the pixel, the less photons each pixel is able to collect. Less photons, less image quality. There’s also more visual noise in images/videos, and various other knock on effects. In our experience, when new, smaller pixel size sensors are first released, they tend to be worse than the previous generation. While others jump in, banking on pixel numbers instead of performance, we prefer to skip early iterations.
"

I like the essence of this comment. its not just for the pixel whores... They actually have some kind of vision behind. And frankly speaking, I like it. Even if I have always started feeling sorry for Nokia to always focus on HW while their SW side has been declining, this time Im genuinely impressed. I see use for this device and I hope to see it adopted for Point and Shoot.

Price range should be near 450€ before taxes etc

Does this make it a direct competitor to the D800...?

when you start mailing photos taken with that thing from the phone, pay attention to your data plan restrictions. wonder how it handles noise? pixel size 1.4um...the D800 has 4.9um

Not bad i gotta say.. Not DSLR quality obviously..but against most compacts it looks like it will perform well

Does anyone think 41 megapixels on that tiny thing will give any better quality pictures than 12 megapixels?
