It’s interesting how since using the Nokia Lumia 1020 over the last 6 days how it has completely changed my mind on the phone. In the beginning I couldn’t quite grasp the real and full benefit of the hardware. But as soon as I removed the Pureview 34mp hi resolution photos of the 5mp I had previously viewed, it was then that the full magic of the 1020 hardware came to light. Have a look at my flickr photo stream to see full res samples. Click here.

And then you have all the manual control settings to produce some even more remarkable end results. But I will say that if all you do is share photos on social media and nothing else, then the 1020 is overkill.

I have started to post edit some of the 34mp photos and because the photo has so many pixels it has allowed some huge improved post processed photos.

In fact the fun really begins using the pro features on the 1020 and then after you remove the 34mp version. I don’t think I can say much more since the remainder of the 1020 is based on the Lumia 925 which I have written and reviewed extensively.

If photography is your hobby or interest, then the Lumia 1020 should be on your wish list.

But I have one frustration, and that’s in my other article for today.
