The image quality is of a higher order than any other smartphone camera. We shot a fixed subject with an Android
IPhone 5 and the Nokia
Tripod mounted
And the difference in detail resolution
Even comparing the Nokia's scaled down image
Is astonishing
Great camera
Slim design
Good battery life

Nokia Camera app is pretty good
Windows Phone 8 runs smoothly on the phone
Great design and matt finish makes it feel excellent in the hands
Decent battery life

Manual control in a phone camera = awesome
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

Best camera ever on a smartphone. Excellent manual camera controls. Easy-to-use OS.
Big. Expensive. Slow shot-to-shot times. Windows Phone is out of the mainstream for photo apps and communities
