Nah ah. The camera was incredible, but the OS and specs let it down. It was just soooo slow by the time you'd taken a picture all the samsungs and iPhones had already taken it and shared it to social media, where quality don't matter anyway.

I had a 1020, used it for a couple years and generally loved it.  Just switched to a Lumia 950 (which is pretty amazing).  If the exact same phone was released with modern flagship guts (so a faster processor and a bit more faster ram), and the software on that beast of a camera was improved, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.  But I wouldn't say it was let down by WP8/8.1, as the OS itself ran beautifully on that phone (aside from resuming apps, which was pretty slow across all WP8/8.1 devices).

 

The camera in the 1020 is god-tier when you get the settings dialed in with manual mode.  The results on automatic are often a serious letdown, certainly compared to an iphone or galaxy's ability to be pointed vaguely at something, and click off a couple of pictures that will come out better than what the 1020 will do when left to it's own devices.  The 1020 has a xenon flash, which is not only better for taking pictures than pretty much any LED camera phone flash, but it's also useful for blinding your friends/half of a bar.  Then there is the camera launch and shot-to-shot time.  The dedicated 2-stage shutter button is great for launching the camera, but if you are using Lumia Pro Camera (which you are if we want to use the 41 megapixels for phone camera dick measuring) you have a solid few seconds before you're ready to shoot.  Didn't get the perfect shot?  Try again in 2-3 seconds as the phone processes that giant image.  Too late to get the shot again?  That's too bad then.

 

Video recording is only 1080p30, but the microphones are very good across the full frequency range.  Lows are pronounced, but also don't clip out immediately like can happen with many other cameras.  I only really used it to record some car stuff (before/after of exhaust modifications, etc), and it worked extremely well.

 

Side Note:  It's a Nokia.  Not just that, it's a polycarbonate Nokia.  You can't hurt one of these without dropping stuff directly onto the screen.  Mine had a nice corner shot from table height onto a hardwood floor, and it damaged the floor.

 

The 1020 was able to be updated to W10M if you have either insider preview or developer account status, but I chose not to.  My 521 (the best cheap phone in the world) didn't like the early betas of W10M, but I think that was an issue of having too little ram and again, early beta software.

I had Nokia 808 pureview for 40 months.

Its camera was quicker,simpler than that of 1020.

The shot to shot time in lumia 1020 at full res 4:3 mode was horribly long. While on 808 pureview shot to shot time on full res 4:3, was "noticably less". (Wikipedia article states it has some dedicated onchip image processor)

 

Interestingly, in December 2014, I was in a school new year's party and the 600d's battery went flat, while it was charging. Pics taken with 808 and classmates' 1020 were MOAR epic than other phones.

 

Kind of reinforces

the words from Chase Jarvis "The Best Camera Is The One That's With You"

 

And if one had to have a car with decades old music system with only cd player and fm radio the fm transmitter of 808 pureview does wonders.

 

Sadly in Feb this year I lost my 808 pureview, I would have kept it for more years. I tried to buy another one but money and availability issues.

 

Lastly I would like to link an article if anyone interested,its worth looking at.

Doesn't say anywhere. I'd be very surprised if it was any earlier than Marshmallow.

I'm looking at the photos at the bottom of the page that I think were supposedly taken by the ektra, but honestly the photos don't look that great. They're appear to be super grainy, and in one photo I'm noticing some lens flare. Also, it kinda looks like there's a white haze over the photos, and the photos appear soft and without a ton of dynamic range. Not a fan.
