Can the lumia 1020 take shots like this?

It will not. This picture was focused on the lady thereby blurring the image behind her, only a DSLR will do that. Mobile phones make use of software to process the photos but no matter how the software is, it will never beat a dedicated DSLR optics.

And this DSLR cannot be less than 60,000?

No it can not.... Not ever.

You've been able to garner so many responses from this thread and one of them suggests you getting a professional camera. I think that's your best bet if you want pictures of the type of quality used for the model in green.

Sony Ericsson k800i (if its still in the mkt)

Have u tried the Nokia Lumia 1080 with its 41MP pureview sensor?

Bro, I'm sure you wanted to say Lumia 1020!

@OP, you guys need to be more adventurous and try the Lumia 1020 (apart from the 41MP, other features are Optical Image Stability, Carl Zeiss Lens, dual Xenon flash). Do you know Nokia had to build an algorithm for the camera alone! The Phone has been used to record full length videos: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/wont-believe-5-videos-filmed-windows-phone/ Katy Perry even shot a behind the scenes video for “Roar” on the Nokia Lumia 1020. http://msft.it/6037wc2z!

Windows phone might not have as much apps as other mobile ecosystem but when it comes to camera . . . You can also Google to compare.

If you want quality pictures, either get a DSLR or a Lumia 1020 or 930. (Note: I dont work for Nokia, I just use a Lumia 1020)

Try any of the latest Nokia high end phones. IPhone 6 should be close too

The camera shots with either its 41MP or 5MP. All these are 5MP. For professional photgraphapers, it also has some very advanced settings. For me I just point and shoot.

The first and third pictures were taking at a resort centre in Kano around 6:30 in the evening.

The second was taken in T.O.T.A.L darkness. It was shot when a friend of mine challenged me with his Samsung galaxy 4 (he has a Lumia 920 too). I switched off the pre-focusing flash as part of the rules of the challenge. We were watching a movie around midnight when the PHCN struck.

The last is the result of the front camera (cropped to remove most of my face).

I should be able to PM you some indoor pictures, if you want. Wont want to post my friends' picture on the internet

Thanks a lot, don't you have picture taken by the 41mp??

Truth is no phone cab give you a DSLR quality picture but only a Lumia 1020 or 808 pureview comes close... with the new software update to Lumia 1020 am sure you will be more than impressed to get almost a digital camera image quality but not video recording oo. if it's just camera you want on the phone that's your best bet.. forget those iPhone Sis even Nokia n8 will give them a run for their money.

Correct guy!! I wish Nairaland was like Reddit, would have given you a gift for this comment. However, you need to check Videos shot with the Lumia 1020! http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/wont-believe-5-videos-filmed-windows-phone/

The .dng extension is a hardcore format for pictures, so they say. I think only a true professional needs that.
Sometimes, i think I need a degree in photography to get the full value out of this phone.

Get a Blackberry Passport.... it's camera is better than iPhone 6

Taken with a Z10. But a smartphone cam cannot rival a Professional cam

depends on your bandwidth... the 5mp is just image size and doesn't really affect the quality and that's good for uploading.. the difference you will see between the 5 and 41 is when zooming. use the 5mp when uploading or snap with 41 and use an app to resize to 5mp.

No one could have said it better. I'm sure Facebook has a script that will optimize your picture size to save everyone the bandwidth. You can try to upload a 41.65MB picture, either it tells you it is to big or automatically optimize it for you to a few kilobyte replica.

yeah....

Please I'm really searching for a phone that can shoot high quality HD pictures just like this,not minding brand or price.please

Sony Are The kings of camera....

Most peeps say the Xperia series cameras are wack. Lumia 1020 phone is adjudged to be the best camera phone

Nokia 808 pureview takes better pictures than lumia 1020. Only problem is lack of ois and 808 is very difficult to get these days
