Which is Better, iPhone 5 Camera or Nokia Lumia 920 Camera

With the different camera specs, like camera aperture, f/2.0 is better than f/2.4, which means the f/2.0 camera can easily get more light amount, in other words , when we keep the same exposure speed, the f/2.0 camera will get more light amount, and then the photo will be more bright. On the contrary, the f/2.4 camera will be a little difficult to get more light amount.

Like camera focal length, Nokia Lumia 920 is 26mm, the value is less than 28mm, which means Nokia Lumia 920 has the wide-angle shot ability, but for iPhone 5 camera, the focal length has not been announced yet, so we are not able to get the answer which is better , iPhone 5 camera or Nokia Lumia 920, on focal length value.

We can find that the image stabilization technology on iPhone 5 is Digital Image Stabilization, and on Nokia Lumia 920 is Optical Image Stabilization, the obvious difference between Optical Image Stabilization and Digital Image Stabilization is Optical Image Stabilization is the most effective technology on image stabilization, that means Nokia Lumia 920 camera is better than iPhone 5 camera on image stabilization.
