IPhone 5 and the Nokia
Tripod mounted
And the difference in detail resolution
Even comparing the Nokia's scaled down image

The editors didn't like
The lack of apps for the Windows 8 system
Windows Phone 8 app ecosystem
No expandable memory
$299 is a little pricey
A niche device
The Lumia 1020 is $100 pricier than most high-end smartphones. The lens makes it a little bulky. Multiple camera apps are confusing. It lacks manual f-stop control and presets for common shooting scenarios
Thick and bulky
Limited third-party app ecosystem
Camera app can be a little slow
Bulky
And has huge bump at the back that isn't aesthetically pleasing
Windows Phone 8 lacks photography apps to take advantage of camera
No expandable memory and no Qi wireless charging support
No expandable storage
Macro support on the camera is practically non-existent

Sharpest photos ever from a phone, Pro Camera app provides lots of creative control, Great flash, Bright and colorful display, Optional Camera Grip offers DSLR-like feel
Bulky backside, Noticeable lag on shutter and shot-to-shot time, Windows Phone still trails in apps and features, Pricey, Too many separate photo apps
The Nokia Lumia 1020 raises the bar for smartphone cameras with its 41-MP sensor and prosumer controls, but the price is somewhat steep....
"IF YOU TAKE YOUR SMARTPHONE CAMERA SERIOUSLY, YOU SHOULD REALLY CONSIDER THE LUMIA 1020"Nokia raised many eyebrows in the tech world by announcing its Lumia 1020 would come with a 41MP camera as most smartphones tend to have cameras that range in the 5MP...
This is going to sound somewhat gushing, but the combination of large sensor/optics, OIS, PureView zoom and stereo HAAC audio, plus an incredibly visible display in all light conditions (thanks mainly to Nokia's CBD technology), allied with a very sleek f...

There is no doubt that the Nokia Lumia 1020 is the best Windows Phone device ever made. It may still not be for everyone since size is more important than a serious camera to some folks. I have absolutely no regrets so far in moving from a Verizon iPhone ...
Abstract: As it continues to build up steam, the Nokia Lumia 1020 is looking intently at the competition with great intensity to see who can give it a run for its money in the camera shooting department. Already, the HTC One’s fancied termed UltraPixel camera h...
Despite the promise of 'zoom reinvented' and the generally very good results, there's clearly still some work to do for Nokia in terms of the Lumia 1020's performance and camera functions. Most of the issues above can be directly addressed though, and per...
No faster than the Lumia 920, Still a premium price, Shutter lag (1-2 seconds between shots), Incomplete app ecosystem
The bigger issue, of course, is that no Lumia is able to overcome Microsoft's ecosystem hurdle. Windows Phone, even 2+ years in, has yet to gain significant share, particularly in the lucrative North American segment. What this means is that app builders...
Abstract: One of the key reasons why the AT&T Nokia Lumia 1020 is a head turning is the 41MP camera. Simply put, it's one hell of a camera.Sure, the 4.5 inch AMOLED Screen looks great, the matte finish feels comfortable in the hand and the Glance screen is cool but...
