Nokia PureView 808 Review
ePHOTOzine has reviewed the Nokia PureView 808 to find out how the 41 megapixel camera phone performed. The Nokia PureView 808 is the high end camera phone from Nokia, and the highest specification camera phone, since the Nokia N8. The PureView 808 featurs a Carl Zeiss lens, a large 41 megapixel sensor, and Xenon flash, as well as a 4inch screen, it runs the latest version of Symbian. The Nokia PureView 808 is available from £479 sim free from Amazon UK.
“The Nokia PureView 808 features a large 41 megapixel sensor. This is not only a much higher resolution than other mobile phones (with others maxing out at 16 megapixels), it’s also vastly higher than compact cameras (max 18.2mp), compact system cameras (max 24.3mp), digital SLRs (max 36.3mp), and is even higher than a number of medium format cameras!”

Retro: Kyocera Finecam SL300R Mini-Review
The Kyocera Finecam SL300R is an extremely stylish metal bodied twisty camera from 2003-2004, with an f/2.8 3x optical zoom lens, 3.2 megapixel sensor, and SD card slot. It could also be bought as the posher, leather-clad, CONTAX SL300RT, or a 4 megapixel version, the SL400R. Kyocera and Contax made some of the more stylish and interesting cameras with 4 compact digital camera models from Contax, and a larger number from Kyocera. The SL300R has four modes, and one setup menu. The modes include playback, photo, continuous shooting and a video mode that records 320 pixel videos at 30fps with sound. There’s a small 1.5inch screen on the back, that can be switched off or alternatively the backlight can be switched off – under the LCD is a reflective layer so you can still see the screen in bright sunlight.
