If taking photos is something you care about you'll want to run to the nearest AT&T store and pick up the new Nokia Lumia 1020 with Windows Phone 8, which officially goes on sale today. The 4G LTE phone, which costs $299 with a standard contract, comes in yellow, white, and black.



Reviews started to hit this week, and it looks like the phone and its 41 megapixel camera sensor are living up to its billing and leaving reviewers struggling for superlatives.

The phone's 41 megapixel back-side illuminated camera sensor is responsible for much of this praise. But the other key ingredient is the built-in Nokia Pro Camera app, which is designed to take full advantage of the imaging technology and make it easy for anybody to shoot, edit, and share amazing photos and video. Pros can also use it to manually adjust flash, focus, ISO, shutter speed, white balance, exposure, and other key settings.
