          hmmmmm....thanks for your reply guys. One is better in something than other. But i think 808 has much better camera than 1020. I will continue with it. :)

            AnonD-91246, 31 Jul 2013hi Carol, how are you ? I've come here after long time. So,... moreyes, the sensor is smaller but still bigger than 1/2.3(the most common used dimension for pocket cameras) and 1/3(most smartphones) so there is no doubt you can't go wrong with either choice you make. Is it as good as 808? from the first samples I've seen the iq is still better on 808 but the differences are small and for many 808 users(including me) there is no reason for updating if we speak only about the camera. I wanted but I expected a little more, still 1020 it is the first choice available(I guess you could still find new 808s although hard or second hand ones) when it comes to photos/video. Anyway, if you didn't make up your mind yet, take a look first at the guys from dpreviw:

            http://connect.dpreview.com/post/8135699821/sample-gallery-nokia-lumia-1020#embeddedSampleGallery1612474854?news
            and soon they will review it as a camera the same way they did with 808

            http://connect.dpreview.com/post/4388245494/nokia-808-pureview-review

            Maybe you could draw better conclusions then, over here are more subjective opinions(I susbscribe to that:)) in saying 808 still holds the crown:) but for sure I wouldn't be disapointed in carrying an 1020 arround...

                  AnonD-91246, 31 Jul 2013answer my question buddies....! :(Look, I posted it in gsmarena and 808 page several times, but no problem to share it again with you
                  

1- Nokia 808 PV has 1/1.2" FSI CMOS which is bigger than lumia 1020 1/1.5" BSI CMOS sensor.

                  

2- Nokia 808 PV has ND filter and ISO 50 level to reduce the highlights, Lumia 1020 hasn't

                  
3- Nokia 808 PV has the biggest focal length ever (8.02 mm) which gives you the best depth of field more than Lumia 1020 (6.6 mm) only...Lumia still bigger than N8 (6.0 mm) and all other phones out there for sure


                  .

4- Nokia 808 has bigger pixel size


                  
-- 38-34 full resolution is 1.4 um like Xperia Z, Iphone 5, S3-4



                  -- 8 MP pureview mode is 3.07 um (very big for phone)

                  

-- 5 MP pureview mode is 3.91 um (amazing for phone)

-

                  - 2 MP pureview mode is 4.89 um (biggest pixel ever in any smartphone)

This big pixels gives you such pure and clear pictures...so when zooming 100% you will see zero noise (depending on zoom levels also till you reach the max zoom so you will get the real resolution)



                  5- Nokia 808 Pureview handles over 1 Billion pixel per secend during 1080P video recording and that's 16x powerful than any phone ever (read the white paper)



                  6- Nokia 808 producing it's images at 300 dpi. (amazing for sure, N8 also)


                  
Now coming to lumia 1020...the best smartphone camera out there right now:



                  1- Lumia 1020 has smaller pixel size 1.12 um due to the samller sensor size

                  

2- Lumia 1020 producing images in 72 dpi only...another reason for making the pixel smaller than 808 pureview's one ( talked with juha alakarhu on twitter about pixel size and he told me that they simulated the 1.4 um but the results was worst than 1.12 um



                  3- Lumia 1020 has no ND filter.

                  4- Lumia 1020 has no ISO 50, it starts from 100 and this will results more noise and highlights in the pictures.

                  
5- Juha didn't tell me about the pixel size of the oversampled 5 MP...he just told me that the physical pixel size is 1.12 um, but I think it will be around 2.75 um or somthing like that, but obvious it will be smaller than Nokia 808's one

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But Lumia 1020 also has some advantages over it's older brother the 808 PV :

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1- Lumia 1020 have apreture F/ 2.2 bigger than 808 PV F/2.4, and bigger F-stop means bigger depth of field and better light catching


                  
2- Lumia 1020 has the best OIS on any phone, it's the second generation and really it's impressive and awesome and very powerful and accurate more than Lumia 925-928-920



                  3- Lumia 1020 have Six lenses rather than 5 only for 808 pureview and 4 only for all the lumias except Lumia 925 (which has six also)


                  
4- Lumia 1020 has better oversampling algorithms so the 5 MP should sharper than 808 (but that doesn't mean better or more details)


                  
5- Lumia has faster shutter speed till 1/16000 faster than 808 PV which has shutter speed around 1/ 5000 - 6000 and the pictures is almost totally dark.


                  
6- Lumia 1020 has Rich audio recording and two mics. like 808 PV...808 is stronger cause it can do like 320 mb bitrate/s CD quality beside WP OS still has mono only for video recording...(read the white paper of 808)

                  

7- Lumia has mechanical shutter like 808 PV and N8 and that's help the Xenon flash and fast mode photos


                  

So as you see both have amazing technology and Nokia only one can do that

but The final conclution:

---------------------------------

-Nokia 808 is better in terms of clarity and pure photos with almost no noise...it has more zoom with 2MP PV mode up to 3.6 zoom so: day light photos, portraits, landscapes, night photos it will be more clear and producing more amount of details.


                  
- Lumia 1020 will be better in low light, indoors, night portraits and photos, cause of the awesome OIS 2nd generation which gives the Lumia 1020 extra points here
(Nokia 808 pureview will be better in low light in terms of quality and clarity with details but it will need tripod, cause it will be very shaky at night and produce very shaked photos)

                  but you know, not every one will cary or use tripod when going to club or taking quick night photos
-

                  Lumia will be better also at videos cause they will be very sharp and stable due to OIS 2nd generation.
I hope that make it clear and gives you some nice information, Ohh...btw I'm saving right now to pick up one hot yellow Lumia 1020 :P
have a nice day...808 PV user ;)

                              hi Carol, how are you ? I've come here after long time. So, nokia is now launching lumia 1020 41mp camera phone. Is it as good as 808? The difference between these two is the L1020 comes with a new 1/1.5-inch, 41-megapixel BSI sensor, which is smaller than the 808′s 1/1.2-inch, non- BSI offering of the same resolution. What difference will it make practically ?
