950-xl

Last month, Microsoft unveiled the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL. Both of the devices pack decent hardware, and the cameras shouldn’t disappoint either. Microsoft recently gave us a closer look at the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL’s camera – however, a Microsoft employee posted some new pictures taken with the Lumia 950 XL and Lumia 950 on 500px. Take a look:

The above pictures do, indeed, look pretty nice. For those who don’t know, here are some features of the new Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL’s camera:

  • Hardware: A rear-facing PureView camera with a 20-megapixel advanced BSI sensor, F1.9 Zeiss optics, triple-LED natural flash, fifth-generation optical image stabilization, ISO12800, 4K video, and a 5-megapixel wide-angle front-facing camera.
  • Colors look really vivid, but still realistic. Everything just looks perfect–the details, colors, contrast, and noise. Thanks to image processing software–in areas such as pixel, color and exposure algorithms.
  • Great low light photos: Super high sensitivity sensor, 5th generation OIS, and large aperture enables great low light imaging.
  • Rich Capture mode: It uses two exposure times for the same image: short for the moving object and long for the static part of the image.
  • New Flash system: The natural three LED (red, green, blue) flash automatically matches the colors of the ambient light. This means that if you’re taking a photo outside at twilight, the flash will produce a blue light to complement the bluish color of the scene, and if you’re taking a photo of a candlelit dinner, the flash will adjust to expose candlelight.
  • Dynamic Flash: The camera takes two photos, one with flash and one without, and we use very clever algorithms to get the best of both.
