I also liked shooting with the DNG/RAW format but that ability will land on the Nokia Lumia 1020 eventually. I really enjoyed the 6-inch viewfinder on the Lumia 1520 and image quality on the 1520 is right up there amongst the best. Choosing which Windows Phone has the better camera is a tough call with both phones capable of capturing quality images. Nonetheless, judging the Lumia 1520 on the camera alone, Nokia hit the nail on the head once again by producing a stellar Windows Phone camera. To view the full image, just click on the photo set. Due to the size difference, image pairs are from the same Windows Phone. Images from the Lumia 1520, straight from the camera measured 4992 x 3744 and images from the Lumia 1020 measured 7136 x 5360 pixels. The only the only editing being resizing the high-resolution image files for publication purposes. Photos were taken hand held (hence the slight differences in framing), using Nokia Camera and the resolution set to the 4:3 image ratio, giving the Lumia 1520 a 19 MP resolution and the Lumia 1020 a 38 MP resolution. As far as the camera design is concerned, we will call it a draw with both cameras performing admirably with their respective hardware.
However, it is a slightly faster (lets in more light) f2.2 lens. The Lumia 1020 has the larger sensor and sports a 26mm lens. The Lumia 1520 has a slightly smaller sensor and uses a 26mm f2.4 lens. Both Lumia Windows Phones enjoy optical stabilization and PureView technology.They work but not as effectively as the Xenon of the Lumia 1020. The Lumia 1520 relies on dual LED lights as a flash. I have never been a big fan of smartphone flashes but the Lumia 1020’s Xenon flash is one of the stronger performers.The only downside (and I use the term loosely) to the large screen is that I found myself accidentally brushing a finger against the screen causing it to zoom or shift the focus point. The screen opens up a lot of detail in your photos and is like shooting a medium format camera. The Lumia 1520 wins easily for screen size, which makes for a fantastic viewfinder.If you are looking for your Windows Phone to replace a stand-alone, point-n-shoot camera this grip will come in handy. The Lumia 1020 has the camera grip accessory that not only gives the Lumia 1020 better feel as a camera but also extends the battery life of the Lumia 1020.I think the microSD card expansion will prove beneficial when shooting the larger DNG/RAW file formats. However, the Lumia 1520 has the ability to save new photos to a microSD card (up to 64 GB). The Nokia Lumia 1020 has 3 2GB of internal storage compared to the Lumia 1520’s 16 GB.
