This latest nugget of news out of Nokia's big event in Abu Dhabi should
be of particular interest to mobile photographers. According to @tnkgrl,
aka our buddy Myriam Joire, the phone manufacturer will be bringing RAW
image support to its flagship Lumia handsets, the 1520 and 1020.
This will allow them to take 20MP or 41MP photos (respectively) with
zero compression -- allowing far greater control over exposure, color
and other settings in your photo editor of choice. The file sizes will
no doubt be unwieldy compared to regular JPEGs, especially for 1020
owners who can't expand their storage (the new 1520 fortunately has a
microSD slot), but we reckon the extra control ought to be worth it.
