Nokia shows off the Lumia 920 at Photokina, who would have thought?

Nokia shows off the Lumia 920 at the 2022 Photokina camera trade show

Nokia is busy making the rounds promoting the Lumia 920 Windows Telephone and this past week they fix upwards shop at the 2022 Photokina merchandise show. If y'all aren't familiar with Photokina information technology is the largest merchandise show for the photographic and imaging industries. The equivalent for smartphones would be the annual Consumer Electronics Show or Mobile World Congress.

Nokia jumped on the opportunity to set up up store at the Carl Zeiss booth at Photokina to show off the Pureview Cameras on both the Lumia 920 and Pureview 808. A demo box was fix, like we saw at the New York reception, to demo the low low-cal functioning of these cameras. Nokia reps also demoed the image stabilization and how it improves video quality.

While the Photokina coverage on the Lumia 920's operation has been positive, the fact that a smartphone camera has drawn then much attention at Photokina illustrates how far these tiny little cameras have come.

You have two Nokia smartphone cameras no larger than a quarter rubbing elbows with the likes of Canon, Nikon and Olympus. At this booth you would run into Catechism's latest full frame digital camera, the 6D and two booths over you'll find a Windows Phone. While the Windows Phone camera may seem out of place, it is a sign of changing times. It's like Henry Ford driving his Model T to a equus caballus and buggy show.

Nokia's Pureview 808 and Lumia 920 cameras

I've been around cameras for as long equally I can remember and take had my fair share of reservations on the smartphone cameras. Over the years I have seen these small cameras ameliorate where they have gone from more or less a novelty to a legitimate camera. The last generation of Windows Phones showcased these improvements with the HTC Radar 4G and Titan Ii. The Titan II for it's higher resolution and independent processor. The Radar 4G for its BSI Sensor and big discontinuity lens.

These improvements haven't slowed downwards and the next crop of Windows Phones look to accept our cameras to yet another level higher. Nokia leads the accuse with it's Pureview camera that not simply features a fast aperture lens but besides optical image stabilization (OIS). HTC isn't relaxing either by continuing to use the BSI sensor, fast discontinuity lens and contained imaging processor in the 8X.

The engineering science that is in store for the states with these cameras will brand the way for better low light images, faster times in betwixt pictures and a reduction in camera milkshake that blurs pictures. I fully look that the cameras on both the 8X and Lumia 920 volition replace some of the point and shoot digital cameras many rely on.

While Canon, Nikon, Olympus and other photographic camera manufacturers go along to take center stage at Photokina, information technology is nice to come across the development of Windows Phone cameras reach the level to earn them a seat at the table.
