Nokia 9 PureView review: Five-camera computational photography moonshot.
Computational moonshot.
Nokia 9 PureView strapped five Zeiss sensors to a single 5.99" body and merged 12 frames into a single 12-bit DNG. The ambition outran the silicon — processing each frame took 10 seconds — but it set the stage for today's computational photography.
