Forget phones with 8MP or 10MP phones and cameras. Welcome the Nokia Lumia 1020 that takes photos and video that no other smartphone can match with a 41 megapixel camera sensor, PureView technology, Optical Image Stabilisation and amazing high-resolution zoom. Awesome, Right!
The Nokia Lumia 1020, launched today in New York, is basically about the camera. Nokia built two camera apps into this cute device – the Pro Camera and the Smart Camera app.
The Pro camera is the default app that launches when you hold down the dedicated shutter. It has manual controls and works as most phone cameras.
The Smart Camera app enables you to take several photos of a subject in rapid succession. You can use the multiple photos to pick the best shot, adjust facial expressions, add motion blur and other neat tricks.

3. Nokia Pro Camera – Take photos like a pro…
Nokia Pro Camera on the Nokia Lumia 1020 lets you shoot in super high resolution, which means you can zoom in close to your shot after you’ve taken it. Then rotate, reframe, crop and share new images as many times as you want.
