Despite dual cameras
Nokia PureView imaging does not cover dual camera shot imaging that allows taking images using the front facing and rear cameras at the same time. The lack of Instagram is replaced by GlamMe and users can opt for the 6Tag app from Wi
The editors didn't like
No storage expansion
Shot to shot time can be slow
It is completely unreasonable to say that I would prefer if the camera did not take over a second to save the beautiful images it takes since what it's doing with that time is crunching a kiloton of data
But yes
It would be nice if the images saved fast
Costly
No External Storage Option
Adds bulk to the camera
Poor battery
Camera is slow to get going
Shottoshot time should have been less
Not many games available on WP8 platform
Lacks memory card slot
Camera protrusion on back
Uneven weight distribution
Non removable battery
Heavy Phone
Expensive
Nokia Pro Cam app lags
Windows Phone is very limiting
A great sensor
Lens and optics stack coupled with advanced manual controls from Pro Cam app makes Lumia 1020 the top camera smartphone of this year. Lumia 1020 as a package offers a great display
The real question we really wanted to answer for ourselves when we got this device was “is the bulky size worth it?” The answer is “absolutely, yes”. The camera more than earns the girth that it adds to the Lumia 1020. Pictures are fantastic and I found m...

Thick and bulky, Limited third-party app ecosystem, Camera app can be a little slow
Provided you can live with a thick design and a limited app ecosystem, Nokia's Lumia 1020 will give you a truly superb camera that takes outstanding photos, offering the best imaging experience you'll ever get on a smartphone. This is the only Windows Pho...

Abstract: Nokia's big claim for the very big Lumia 1020 is that its camera puts the competition to shame. So I've decided to test that out.Each shot was taken at full auto with flash disabled, and the only change I've made otherwise is to shrink them down in the sa...
Windows Phone 8 app ecosystem, No expandable memory, $299 is a little pricey
The incredible camera on this phone would benefit from apps that are found on iOS and Android, but missing on Windows Phone 8. Apps like Instagram, Snapseed and Vine would be terrific additions to Windows Phone 8, and it would really help this camera shi...

You have to really, really care about your pictures though. Because paying top-whack for a phone with a half-baked OS (it's still missing apps many definitely want) is a tall price to pay for photographic dominance.Product photography and additional camer...

The Nokia Lumia 1020 smartphone's camera captures extremely high-resolution images with fine detail, and puts creative controls at your fingertips
A niche device, the Lumia 1020 is $100 pricier than most high-end smartphones. The lens makes it a little bulky. Multiple camera apps are confusing. It lacks manual f-stop control and presets for common shooting scenarios
Avid mobile photographers will love the Nokia Lumia 1020's exact controls, but casual users should stick to cheaper camera phones....
