so the big headline on the Nokia Lumia 1020 is simple 41 megapixel camera that's basically the camera that I want to have with me in my pocket at a music festival like this so let's ro test it the Nokia Lumia design has just been really appealing you're such a nice bright colored phone super customizable lots of colors and the windows phone interface is really attractive so you feel drawn to it right away and as a camera phone it's the right way it comes with a wrist strap which I find to be a delightfully camera friendly touch overall I always am really drawn to these phones i really like using it i'm comparing photos it's what's happening there thank you so the iphone 5 is currently the best smartphone camera on the market and it's the main reason that some people keep that phone this is taking direct aim at that so it's a 41 megapixel camera that's so many megapixels that is almost a novelty it's way more than you're ever gonna use and it's really just a stunt to get people's attention but that said it's pretty amazing when you look at your 41 you can megapixel image then nokia is built in a lot of cool camera features so you have all these smart features where if you take a photo of a sequence it'll choose the best shot for you you can choose a really great action shot and you can sort of like specify movement there's filters so they're making it really fun to use and a really camera oriented phone and I have to admit I've been really impressed with images mainly though I think everybody uses their smartphone to just take snapshots and upload them somewhere the snapshot part is really good the uploading part is problematic so you can upload a photo directly to Twitter it doesn't integrate that way with Facebook and then the most crushing drawback of all is that you're taking beautiful snapshots and you cannot Instagram them there is no Instagram available for Windows Phone an Instagram is said that they're not gonna build it Instagram your photo I wish I could so for kind of the point and shoot social sharing you are super crippled and it's such a bummer so the negatives that i have found are mainly the shutter speed all the bubbles like totally disappeared by the time the shutter got it you can do it yes thanks bubble guy the shutter speed is so slow on this phone it takes a long time to load up the camera you kind of press this button then the image appears and then it's another second or so before the actual camera controls pop up so you probably already missed your shot but even assuming that you haven't then when you press the camera button the actual shutter and click is super slow you know what I have to compare with my iPhone because frankly I think this is shameful give another phone watch this boom yeah and ready bub no problem no problem so I actually think that the Lumia 1020 is a great phone for festivals because the stage isn't going anywhere so you don't have to worry about the slow shutter speed and you're gonna get great shots that you can zoom in later so that you can pretend that you were closer than you are that's it at the end of the day i don't think i would buy it i'd rather have a phone with a great camera that can do everything and like the iphone instead of a phone with a really great camera they can't do very much else you
