AnonD-77434, 23 Sep 2013That's cause of the big Focal length...Nikon has a 18-55 mm... morei got your point. Its the lens that matters for all these stuffs. But still im very much happy with the way 808 captures. :)

AnonD-91246, 23 Sep 2013my friend have Nikon D5100 DSLR. Once we had gone outdoor f... moreThat's cause of the big Focal length...Nikon has a 18-55 mm lens by standards as I know and that's mean it allow the lenses to move further and that's mean more depth of field

Nokia 808 Pureview is 8.02 mm Focal length and that's mean it delivers the amazing blur kindda like DSLR after Zooming...double the 8.02 mm *3.6 times, even portraits from 1.5 meter you can get a nice blur and that's impossible by any other phone...but sure you will never get the result of Canon 600D for example for getting the blur from 15 m portraits.

SO

If you have 55mm Lens... you will get an Amazing depth of field.

If you have 300mm tele lens...you will get blur looks like what you always see for the Football players Photos during the match

The more the lens gets taller...The more depth of field it produce :)

Hope that helps :D

How are you my friend, I hope you are fine, and thanks for your beautiful words...The phone isn't available in Egypt yet...I'll get the Yellow one for sure, the real eye candy and sure I'll share with you every thing and I'll make a review on my channel to kick the OIS 2nd generation very hard :D

To Gitty :)

How are you my friend I miss you on the Whatsapp, I'll give you all buzz when get the Lumia 1020...It will be a second chance for WP and sure I'll be happy with the new lumia, you are Lucky really not to sell your 808 when getting your Note 2...Enjoy your android Mammoth and always keep in touch here and flickr ;)

To harishdev :)

Thanks very much my bro for understanding my decision and you need to know that My plan was to keep both phones together, but that will make me wait more time to get the Lumia 1020, so the painful decision of selling My beloved 808 was the only solution to get the Lumia 1020 faster and it happens very fast more than I expected...I'll manage to get 808 back again after I got enough money, and sure I'll share my Photos with you, but I didn't get the phone yet...stay tuned and enjoy your 808, the real cameraphone King ;)

To MDN :)

I'm happy you loved my photos and thanks my bro for your concerns about my safety and you are right, I will try to get the 808 again and never ever let it, I'm very excited about the coming Yellow candy Lumia 1020...oh wait, which country do you live?? :)

Thanks all my friends keep supporting with Carol here...Keep Symbianning and Pureviewing :D

AnonD-77434, 23 Sep 2013Carol, Siva my best friends and all my forum friends here R... moreExcellent photos as always, sad to hear the news. :-( I almost understand you as I wouldn't mind having an 1020 but I think I'd just use it as a camera. Let's see how you like it and yes, I don't think you will be without an 808 too long. :-)
Anyway, stay safe, that's more important right now. my country was in a war 20 years ago (yes, I'm old) and it wasn't a good time to have a normal life. I hope things get better over there soon. :-(

PureView Pro sensor has an active area of 7728 x 5368 pixels, totalling over 41 Mpx. What happens after the shutter is depressed depends on the settings and whether or not zoom is used. But to give an idea, the default still image setting is 5 Mpx at 16:9, and for video, 1080p at 30 FPS. Using these settings, the zoom is around 3x for stills and 4x for video. Conventional digital zoom tends to scale up images from a relatively low resolution, resulting in poor image quality.
The image sensor is capable not only of delivering parts of its pixels, but of down- or oversampling its resolution by having its own on-chip image processor, highly reducing external processing needs and data rates as well as image noise (see noise shaping) when lower resolutions (or HD video) are needed. Additionally this provides very high image resolution. Images up to 38 megapixels can be taken at full resolution at 4:3 aspect ratio and 34 megapixels at 16:9 ratio.

my friend have Nikon D5100 DSLR. Once we had gone outdoor for some photography and i also got a chance to capture some pictures. :) i felt so good taking pictures with it. It was just amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed the photography with that DSLR. I never thought that there could be some much fun in photography. I have a question. Is it possible to keep our subject in focus and other things blurred even if its about 45 - 50 feets long from us? Actually we were capturing the photos of Lord Ganesh's idols at Ganesh visarjan. The Idols were at long distance from us say about 40 - 50 feets away. But still the camera manages to keep the idols in focus and other things blurred. The pictures looks amazing. I really liked That blurred effect. I know we can do it with our 808 but only our subject is close to us. But is it possible if our subject is far away fron us?

Thanks for your kindly concerns, I'm fine and every thing goes well, I'm not protesting from almost month but the protesters still in the streets to bring the democratic back but...I need to share something with you

I sold my 808 Pureview today...that's true what you have been read :'(

I sold it cause I want to invest on Lumia 1020...I know I said it one time that I will never let 808 for any phone, but this is the life

I was needing the money so I got the chance to sell it with a very good price and that's can help me to complete the price of Lumia 1020,

but wait a second

1- Lumia 1020 camera results are sh*t and average comparing to Nokia 808 Pureview, I know that and I told it to Damian Dinning via twitter, although it get some nice features I can't deny.

2- I'll buy Nokia 808 again after I can get the new Lumia 1020...it's just matter of time cause I can't let the last Symbian king go away without collecting my Item, beside I need the real camera phone always with me..

I hope you forgave me and I'll never leave this page and always will be here to learn and support any one needs help, beside it's pleasure to me to be always your friend, so I'm with you as normal...This is my home :D
