The camera module is the casing that packages everything together so that it slots neatly inside the Lumia 1020. It measures 25mm by 17mm and contains well over 130 individual components.

“Every single camera component is tested, calibrated and the quality is verified. We make sure that each module performs extremely well,” says Eero.

“The overall module design was also key to making the Lumia 1020 a sleek package.”

In Nokia’s OIS solution the whole lens system is resting on ball bearings.

“The special gyro components are very accurate and fast in detecting how the phone is moving and the lens is moved by the motors in the opposite direction very quickly to compensate for the handshake.”

The Lumia 1020’s image quality is best-in-class: in both bright and low light conditions, it delivers impressive performance. In good light, the high-resolution sensor captures a tremendous amount of detail, even in darker, low-contrast parts of a scene that many competitors tend to smear with noise reduction. Colors are punchy but generally well rendered. The 5MP images are nicely sharpened and ready for sharing.

In low light, the 1020’s large sensor and stabilized lens combine to produce impressively robust image quality. Even at ISOs as high as 1600 and shutter speeds as slow as 1/2 sec, the 1020 captures sharp images with a lot of usable detail. Still higher ISOs yield very good results at lower resolutions. For the minimal resolution requirements of social media sharing, it’s difficult to find a lighting situation dark enough to prevent a usable photo.

The 1020’s xenon flash has more power than the LED flashes on most phones. This means you get a more even light with more reach than the competition can deliver.

The phone I've been waiting for!

Coming from Apple ios and Android I can tell you Windows is not that bad, in fact it's quite good, in fact it's highly under estimated !

@Vitaliy_Kiselev This:

. I hate shaky video, I consider it as useless footage.

And atleast in Finland Lumia 920 is cheaper than Galaxy S4 (400€ vs. 600€). S4 mini is cheaper (450€) but still more expensive than Lumia 920.

I have Nokia Lumia 920 and it's doing pretty good job already. IMO Windows Phone is underrated. Waiting forward to this.
