Thanks to its 6-inch 1080p screen it is noticeably a lot larger than the 1020 but also a little thinner. In particular the "camera hump" on the back does not protrude quite as much as the Lumia 1020. That said, the camera module still protrudes more than on most smartphones. This doesn't affect the phone's portability but means you should probably be a little careful in terms of what type of surfaces you put your phone on. Otherwise you'll increase the chances of scratching the glass cover in front of the lens.
Here at Dpreview we like the Nokia's design and vibrant screen but of course we are most interested in the new device's camera capabilities and the Lumia 1520 looks promising in the imaging department, too. At 1/2.5-inches its backside-illuminated CMOS sensor is slightly larger than the most common smartphone sensors (1/3-inch) but not quite the same size as the sensors in typical consumer compact cameras (1/2.3-inches).
I did consider the Nokia 1520 as the camera on the Z Ultra is very poor even for a phone camera but after trying out WP8 for a bit on the 925 I decided not to. There is a lot WP8 does well but the problem for me is the bits it doesn't do so well or you want to do differently, you largely cannot so some elements like the poor keyboard (compared to Swiftkey) you can't change.
I've this lumia 1520 last month. After 5 day.. It's got problem with the camera. I send to Nokia care..after 2 week my phone not return back. For me Nokia phone is very very bad..and also the after sales service is not competence to solve this problem fast. If I compare with iphone n Samsung..NOKIA arena bad.
I had this phone for about a week over Christmas....I like larger phones, was sort of bored with Android and decided to try this out....I was pretty satisfied with the general results but the phone was just to big to handle in quick situations. Ultimately, the Windows appstore is so limited I scurried back and got a Note 3 that I have been very happy with.
Yes, one of the greatest strenghts of a phone's camera is that it can fit into places where no big camera (not even small point and shoots) can fit.
Having a close focus distance on the phone is a big plus for me and many more people.
I own a Nokia 1520. It is an amazing smartphone, for its camera and for watching videos during my travels. I own three DSLRs (one FF, two cropped), one mirrorless camera and a Galaxy Note 3 - that I eventually gave my wife. All criticisms hurled at DPR for doing this and towards the device itself - I had to personally use the phone for a few hours before I decided to buy one. It fits my usage model (60-70% business which means lots of emails, editing native MS Office files and web surfing). It is great for instant photo opportunities with friends when I don't have my DSLR with me. It takes HD videos like a number of other smartphones. It excels at everything I want it to do. I will never be rich enough for a smartphone to be custom-built for me :) But after using the Nokia 1520 for a month now, it's the closest smartphone that ever came to that! Thanks DPR for this review!
January 2 I got my first smartphone and its a black Lumia 1520. It is freaking fast, while my one cored android Walkman just loading things 1520 has already open them. Camera is enough to defeat my Sony cyber shot W150 (from 2008) and Olympus Xz-1 in daylight. It get very close to my e-pm1 (for landscapes and portraits). Camera interface is very well specified. Its physical shutter button can take two shots sometime, but its only adjusting issue I believe.
after all, since 2014 there is a category called phablet and it is REAL. You don't carry your tablet everytime, and your phone is not read friendly if its screen smaller than 5". Nokia has made a great device I can recommend it to all, who can afford.
"I question whether DPR should have a Connect site. They are not experts on handphones. Don't offer a comprehensive analysis of handphones." - your statement, while true, is irrelevant. DPR reviews cameras in phones only, no one said they look at all "handphones". show us another website that provides an 11-page comprehensive analysis of a phone's camera, and then tell us if you still question Connect's existence.
Here's the important thing. DPR has good access to the camera brands and a network of contacts in the camera industry. Does Connect have the same with the phone manufactures, apps developers and mobility pundits?
give me one site that looks at the camera in as much detail as we do, I'd be very interested to have a look at it. Of course our reviews are targeted at the consumers who have a special interest in the camera, everyone else is probably satisfied with what they read on the the phone sites.
And yes, we have good access to phone manufacturers and contacts within this sector. I have personally been working hard on that over the past couple of years and I'd like to think I did a good job :)
"Nokia's deep investment in outrageous optics continues in the Lumia 1520. Like other Nokia phones, the 1520 uses Carl Zeiss Optics and the PureView technology that Nokia is associating with its brand. There are ball bearings for effective optical image stabilization, and a dual-LED flash instead of the Xenon flash found in both Verizon's Lumia 928 and in the Lumia 1020.
There's far more people taking pictures with their phones than with their dedicated cameras. By an overwhelming margin. And that gap is only going to get bigger and wider. So I'd say dpreview has made a very astute business move to cover mobile photography and establishing itself in a growing market.
And before the usual mantra enters, it can be rewarding/worth it for a phone camera too, because it's often the only camera that is always with you. Not every shot might need RAW or extra processing (time). Choice is good.
If you go out and you find yourself having your phone as the only camera with you I don't thing you basically wanted to shoot in RAW, or you would have simply manage to bring your DSLR or dedicated camera.
Heck, if I got an Android+Windows phone, I'd at least try Windows. If Windows was better (and I've never used it, so aside from knowing how badly Windows sucks elsewhere, I have no idea), I'd switch to Windows.
The elegant design of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera packs an incredible number of high end digital film features into a miniaturized, handheld design. Made from lightweight carbon fiber polycarbonate composite, the camera features a multifunction handgrip with all controls for recording, ISO, WB and shutter angle right at your fingertips. Because it's an advanced digital film camera, the sensor is designed to reduce thermal noise allowing cleaner shadows and higher ISO. Plus the large 5 inch LCD makes it possible to get perfect focus at 4K and 6K resolutions. You also get a removable battery door, 4 shock proof microphones, heavy duty lens mount and built in speaker.
The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K uses removable LP-E6 type batteries while the 6K G2 and 6K Pro models use larger NP-F570 batteries. A locking DC power connector is used so you won't have to worry about losing power during a shoot. Plus the included AC plug pack can power the camera and charge the battery simultaneously. You also get a set of international socket adapters for worldwide use. Even the USB-C expansion port can trickle charge the battery, so you can use portable battery packs, mobile phone chargers or laptops. The optional battery grip lets you add extra batteries to dramatically extend the power of the camera so you can keep shooting all day!
Bringing the complex 3D world of pool and snooker to a 2D computer screen is hard enough, what with perspective and angles galore - bringing it to a phone screen is harder again - the limits of screen resolution and human eyesight rather get in the way. Nevertheless, Pool Pro Online has a decent attempt - although you don't really ever get close enough to the table to line up shots by eye, by 'feel', vectors are handily added to the table layout showing the expected direction of your object ball and cue ball. And, with a few caveats, Pool Pro Online is very playable, especially when pitting your skills against another human, online opponent.
'Single Player' is you against the phone's AI at 8 ball or 9 ball pool, or perhaps snooker if you're that way inclined and have longer for the game. It's certainly a good way to hone your skills and learn the interface before challenging people online for Xbox live points, though don't expect a good game. You see, Pool Pro Online has perhaps the most brain dead AI of any pool game since the world was created.
The environment is atmospheric too, with everything from sofas to a bar to arcade machines to windows overlooking the city - though I did turn off the default 'lounge music' after the first few minutes.
And, played intensively, Pool Pro Online is a lot of fun. Provided you keep your phone active and the game in the foreground, it's a smooth and seamless (if slow) experience. Unfortunately, the usual issues to do with Windows Phone's behaviour in terms of multitasking and power management come into play once you start giving anything else your attention. Do anything else on your phone - anything - and although the game (in theory) supports fast-app-switching, you'll still lose your connection to the online game, with this error message:
