Full event:
Perfect device for video blogging, live events & random videos. Why?
I have Nokia Lumia 920 and it's doing pretty good job already. IMO Windows Phone is underrated. Waiting forward to this.
What is wrong with Samsung Galaxy Camera?
It is cheaper, have better features and still have all phone stuff,
Camera on Samsung Galaxy S3 is surprisingly good. Shot some footage with it and was able to grade it to match some Apocalpse Now Boom footage I had shot. I think the bitrate is 17Mbps which isn't too bad for a phone. iPhone with filmic pro app goes up to around 45Mbps I believe. There's a lot of decent phone cameras out there.
@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.

Huge problem is that it is fully closed.
Compressed images are nice for the web, otherwise it's not a substitution of either dedicated photo cam even point and shoot ones. Still it might be a nice present to those who gets used to shooting a lot of photos with a smartphone.
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.

I had a chance yesterday to play with my dad's newly acquired 1020. The camera is definitely the highlight feature. I believe it has a 20mm f2.2 Zeiss lens. I only tried shooting stills. The panorama mode works very well. The overall color, contrast, and resolution are very good. I also liked the just-right sized AMOLED screen, very nice image quality.
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.”

Color and detail is good, and skin tones look good as well. Exposure is reliable, and outdoors photos have plenty of detail, whether the full 38 megapixel image or the resized 5 megapixel image.
The camera records 1080p video (Full HD, 1920 x 1080), at 30fps, 25fps and 24fps. You can use 6x zoom without image quality loss simply by sliding your finger up and down the screen, and how smooth the zoom is depends on how quickly and smoothly you move your finger. Optical image stabilisation helps keep the video stable.
