so, while Nikon and Canon are still not there at 41MP with full frame sensors, Nokia did it with a tiny phone sensor? if true, they should drop making phones immediately.
I still remember the hype around the (5MP?) camera on the N95 back then. Even the Nokia published samples were horrible, but the press made it sound like that was the best camera phone ever...
- bergie 15y agoNokia's camera phones have been pretty good in picture quality. My favorite was the N900 with its Carl Zeiss lens and the FCamera drivers from Stanford's Camera 2.0 project (http://graphics.stanford.edu/projects/camera-2.0/ http://graphics.stanford.edu/projects/camera-2.0/). Processing the pictures took forever, but the results were quite nice. Look at this one I shot for example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bergie/5293597184/in/set-72157601512952655 http://www.flickr.com/photos/bergie/5293597184/in/set-721576...
- andrewjshults 15y agoIf Canon or Nikon wanted to produce a stupidly high (100MP+) megapixel full frame 35mm sensor they could. The pixel density on their compact cameras is about .3MP/square mm, a full frame 35mm sensor is 36x24mm (864 square mm), yielding a ~260MP sensor. They keep their high end bodies at a much lower resolution to increase the available dynamic range and enable shooting in much lower lighting conditions. It'll be interesting to see what they pulled off, but in low light situations (or high contrast) is where you'll see the issues of cranking up pixel density start to crop up.
