Nokia Pure View 808 with 41 MP …muuuaaaaahhh

Nokia recently unveiled the Pure View 808, a mobile phone with a 41 megapixel camera! If you’re on Facebook you’ve probably also seen the gazillion posts about this phone and the obligatory oohs and aahs for it. If you’re thinking of ditching your 10-odd megapixel camera for this phone, think again! Digital cameras with about 15 megapixels or so can take very good looking photos, just like the Nokia Pure view 808. Hard to believe? Read on.

So, on paper the Nokia Pure view 808 has far more megapixels than a DSLR camera which costs an arm and a leg. So why would you get the DSLR camera? The answer, because it takes far better photos than a 41 megapixel camera phone. After a certain point, megapixels cease to matter. The 808 uses a different technology that basically packs a large amount of pixels in regular 5 or 8 megapixel shots. Sure, you can take upto 38 megapixel shots, but they’re only going to be useful if you want to print a billboard large enough to be seen from a few kilometers away, not your average use isn’t it? The Nokia 808 Pure View crunches a lot of pixels into a single “superpixel” to replicate the actual clarity and richness a DSLR of the same megapixel count. For a reference, let it be known that the extremely clear HDTV’s have about 2″effective” megapixels.
