bgeorge, 24 Feb 2019Light Co. will not confirm their involvement yet. They say ... moreNokia confirmed it's a collaboration with Light during their MWC presentation.

    And there's nothing wrong withe the EXIFs.
    It's the result of beta firmware and images that were edited on Lightroom, as they explained clearly in the presentation.

    Talking about this, I expect that HMD will keep updates the firmware to improved even more the stitching.

      Ven, 24 Feb 2019Interesting EXIF data of the most used photo in ad campaign... moreLight Co. will not confirm their involvement yet. They say stand by for an announcement. Light has it's own editing software LUMEN. The layers of the composite are shot in raw. You can edit depth of field by pointing and clicking on the stacked composites. The Light L 16 will produce an unedited Jpeg if you don't want to edit. The idea of capturing shading with gray scale sensors was used in the Essential PH-1 phone. Unfortunately, Essential cameras and processing weren't as good as hyped. Light Co only recently upgraded their camera to shoot video, video on the L-16 only uses one lens/sensor assembly. Image signal processors are advancing rapidly. Search for Qualcomm Image Signal processor.

          RIP pixel, samsung, huawei, iphone cameras...

            I rather wait and see GSMArena's photo sample review. That should be more realistic.

              Please read the text below the five:

                All five are f1.8 but samoles have f14.

                Very suspicious

                  Walter C. Dornez, 24 Feb 2019Not to mention the image quality could be boosted by the 85... moreRemember that the 1020 including the hump was MUCH thicker. The thickness is (unfortunately) needed to use larger sensors with known technology.

                  The whole idea of the 9 is to divide the active area over multiple sensors, and let math/software do the magic. HMD/Light took the complexity a step further and did it with different types of sensors.

                  And indeed it will be interesting to see some actual tests (more than these five), and not just what the manufacturer provides.

                    Ven, 24 Feb 2019Interesting EXIF data of the most used photo in ad campaign... moreThe camera is based on Light technology, that's where that comes from (I'm guessing these photos were taken with an early firmware). Beholder is the code name for the Nokia 9 (geddit? like "eye of the beholder").

                                Clearly edited photos, who knows from what camera... Incredible that people still can be fooled for photos provided from an interested part, the own HMD. Till people share some real photos in the forums,we can't trust them. Something smells badly from the Exif information, even the beams in some photo are clearly edited.

                                        Apparently the Nokia 9 can't take 60 megapixel photos. If this is the case, then there was a very misleading statement at the presentation which indicated that one could take 60 megapixel photos.
