PureView Competition: 41MP + Zeiss…in a Watch, and Sony’s Add on Lens thingy

Interesting to see Lumia in their product page

As much as people try to downplay Nokia Lumia 1020’s achievements by belittling the importance of cameras, everyone else is still trying to beat Nokia at mobile imaging.

Here are a couple of interesting stories.

First up, what’s got 41mp and Zeiss. Nokia 808 PureView? Nokia Lumia 1020? Correct. But you’d apparently be missing one another: Hyetis Crossbow Smartwatch. Is it real? It’s apparently WP8 compatible (the site says WM 8) should you ever need another 41MP shooter to pair with your 1020 or perhaps some other Lumia.

Next up, what happens when phones keep getting slimmer to the point where a decent camera just won’t fit? Stick a camera on it. Hmm. Intriguing, though I feel it defeats the purpose of camera phone being that one device that’s always with you that FITS in your pocket. Perhaps it’ll be a new category where we just bring accessories?

This features a 1/2.3″ sensor, smaller than that found in the 1020 and 808. Though it does have 10x optical zoom.
