Another Joe Belfiore Snap with the Lumia 1020 (maybe) PureView ... "Some people are still thinking that whilst this might indeed be the 1020, that also it might not be the only one we see." - Steve Litchfield, AAWP - This snap on a dark and dreary, cold, wet day: The above was downloaded at 800 x 450 res and is 0.36MP but check out and pan the original at 2947 x 1658: flickr.com ... and pay attention to the Sat Nav on the dash of the right cockpit on the boat - Eric -

Juha Alakarhu's Sea Ray? ... "It all started with a few glasses of beer and a napkin in a hotel bar. Back in 2007, Eero Salmelin and Juha Alakarhu (pictured above) were on a business trip in Tokyo. Both guys were working with camera phones at Nokia and struggling with the problem of using zoom in such devices. Picture quality was simply not good enough. A part of the problem was the physical size of the components: everything in a mobile phone camera had to be small, which effectively meant poor quality. Or did everything have to be small? Juha and Eero suddenly hit on a raving mad idea: why not cram a 40-megapixel sensor into a mobile phone? Surely it wouldn’t even be possible… Or would it? What if you took a risk, and only used the very latest technology available? The guys sketched the first concept of what would later be known as Nokia PureView on a paper napkin." - Nokia Conversations - The images below were cropped from the 'original' (although the original shot or processed on June 29 took a spin through Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.0 according to its EXIF). Note the name on the floating key fob lower left. Most likely 'Juha' is Juha Alakarhu, Nokia's Imaging head. It looks to me like Microsoft's Joe Belfiore was combining business and a marathon with his midsommer vacation in Finland. Hopefully Joe will participate at the NYC 'Zoom Reinvented' event tomorrow. He is one of the great product demonstrators out there today. - Eric -
