Ok. Now things are getting a little out of hand...
This is neither a leak, review or anything of the sort. Just my opinion.
From the Verge:
The 41-megapixel Pureview sensor includes optical image stabilization, 6-lens Zeiss optics, and a xenon flash, making it the centerpiece for the rear of the phone. It can shoot still images at 38-megapixel in 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios. At the same time as it captures the high-resolution images, it also takes an oversampled 5-megapixel image using the sensor that can then be easily shared thanks to its smaller file size. The Lumia 1020 supports 1080p video capture, complete with 4x zoom and up to 6x at 720p. Nokia is releasing a Pro Camera app with the Lumia 1020 to take advantage of the sensor and manually adjust flash, focus, ISO, white balance, shutter speed, and exposure. It also includes a number of editing functions to crop and alter photos. Nokia is bundling a leather wrist strap with the Lumia 1020, making it even more point-and-shoot-like, but a optional Camera Grip accessory provides a casing for the device with extra battery, a shutter button, and even a tripod mount.

As a tech person, this sounds sooo coooll!!!. I would love to be able to walk around, yank out my phone/camera and snap pics in this pixel range. Is this going to boost Nokia out of the tech dungeon that they find themselves in since back in the day? Probably not. Nokia is no longer the name of cutting edge phones any more. And Microsoft is no longer the OS producer they once were (remember who bailed you out back then, Apple! XDDD). But still barring any other problems that it may have, this sounds too niche to make any traction against the juggernauts
that are Apple, Google and Samsung (in alphabetical order, not preference). And as for replacing that whopping big pro-sumer DLSR, again, prolly not.
