While the Nokia Lumia 1020 is failing to show up in surveys of app usage, there is one area where its dominance should be unquestionable, and that is as the best camera on Windows Phone.

It seems the device has certainly found its niche there, as photophiles snap up the handset and post their pictures for all to admire on Flickr.com.

The handset is currently the top ranked Nokia Windows Phone there, having just passed the Nokia Lumia 920, and it seems, looking at the trajectory, that it will do more than become the most popular Windows Phone, but likely also start making gains for Windows Phone in general on Flickr, where Nokia cameras are currently ranked as the 11th most popular.

There is even a Nokia Lumia 1020 Flickr group, with examples which one would swear were taken from much more bulky and expensive devices.

While the handset does not appear to have been a massive commercial success, I think as an imaging tour de force it has certainly proven its worth and secured Nokia’s reputation as the best camera phone maker.
