Re:Nokia Lumia 1020 packs 41-megapixel camera whopper by slantyyz on Thursday July 11, 2013 @02:23PM (#6028031)
What HTC did do a good job of was branding their pixels as "Ultrapixels". I see that branding used on all the major tech blogs when mentioning the HTC One's camera.

Nokia's making the mistake of pushing a camera with specs that isn't easily understood by many people, and from the looks of it, that seems to include people who consider themselves photographers.

I tend to think that the 41 megapixel count will turn off many prospective buyers ("Why the hell do I need so many megapixels?").

I sincerely doubt that people looking at the highest-end cost of phones will be thinking 'Why do I need [feature x]?'.

Yeah, but they'll look at that less-than-beautiful hump on the back and ask if that hump is worth the extra megapixels.
