"In a bold move, the company shot a nearly two minute-long ad with the Nokia 808 PureView, first introduced to the world at this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The device's standout feature: a gargantuan 41-megapixel camera outfitted with a Carl Zeiss lens. With such a high-tech camera, the 808 sets a high bar for phones in terms of image- and motion-capture. Nokia's new ad for the PureView shows off a series of photos and videos taken with the device, most of which are pretty sharp and colorfully bright. Also highlighted was the ease with which users can share photos and videos on Facebook and Twitter or with other 808 phones. According to CNET, the Nokia 808 PureView will cost about $870 and is the first smartphone to make use of PureView technology, "which marries multi-megapixel hardware with powerful photography-focused software."

G1X
I'm fascinated by the concept of downsized pro quality cameras. With many manufactures having already jumped into the market to supply that type of devise, Canon has finally decided to join the fray. Rather than go with a relatively small sensor and interchangeable lens like Panasonic and Olympus did with their micro 4/3's cameras, Canon decided to go with a relatively large sensor and a fixed zoom lens with it's new G1X. It's an intriguing approach, especially attractive for photographers who want a small pro quality system, but don't want the burden of carrying around multiple lens. Like me.
Because I like to do most of my shooting in wider angle ranges than what the G1X allows, I probably won't seriously consider it. However, it's great image producing capabilities and small form factor could make it the perfect compact system for many shooters. I think it's going to be very successful.
