Good luck holding the phone still enough for 90% of those pixels to matter. I'd take a phone with 4MP and proper image stabilisation over that.
Funny thing is that as 2-3 years ago it was about megapixels, now when anybody seems too many megapixels the camera is sh1te. Nokia just can't seem to catch a break.
Here's one great article actually explaining the sensor and what Nokia has achieved here... from a iphone loving site even.

Belle/Symbian is by no means my favorite OS anymore, but it looks to be way, way more smoother than before looking at the videos. Settings, camera (probably best camera UI i have ever seen) and the widget screens manage to even look elegant and work smoothly.

Symbian is still bought in tens of millions every year and has support going till 2016, also it is way more complete OS than MeeGo, while being uglier than Swipe UI.
Nokia still needs Symbian, MeeGo not so much.

I'm only glad that NOKIA now truly knows how powerful/important that BROADCOMM GPU on the new Symbian Belle phones is. With reference to datasheets only, that 1.3GHz ARM11 is approximately as powerful as an 800MHz ARM Cortex A8, which puts forward this question: How in Earth does that 808 get full 1080p video capture @ 30fps, something that only high-end dual cores (Exynos/TI...NVIDIA dual cores are NOT high-end) and recent quad-cores have just achieved?
It's all because of that beastly GPU, which handles all video/graphics processing.

nokia moving on and dont even launch it world wide so thats how much they care. To me the N8 is a better bet.
