I am satisfy with the 41MP on my 808, I can live with it since i not into those app. For those who dun own 808 might go for 1020, for their additional so call "features" which is marketing gimmick. OIS or not, i got steady hand, so yeah.

808 is good enough, but I'm not able to share my internet connection to other Android devices. I don't really mind the apps as it's not my primary phones, but for those who use it as primary phones and actively using those apps (e.g. Android or iOS users), it'll be hard to switch to 808PV, but easier to switch to Lumia 1020.
As for OIS, not a necessity but nice to have regardless, useful when shooting still objects. Although I usually shoot moving subjects, but still OIS does come in handy.
Depending on the user, there're many people who love shooting food, toys, etc indoors, so the OIS will be great benefit to them. Having that said, OIS is a feature that other manufacturer easily catch up, even now there're other competitors offering OIS. The uniqueness is mainly the 41MP sensor +sensor size and the lens.
Finally, there is camera app for WP which allows manual controls...
Oh and... 808 has poor focusing, sometimes it just won't focus even you're > 15cm away, quite annoying. With the S3, I can easily focus. Hope they will fix this problem in 1020.

I guess the image quality will not be that far off between 808 vs 1020. Image stabilisation is important, which in this case, applied BOTH in video mode and picture mode. 808 has its own image stabilisation too, but only in video mode.
Sound quality for 808 is superb for handphone, but honestly, though ideal in noisy environment, it does not beat the like of dedicated camcorder. I knew because I have an old SD JVC camcorder which has very good sound recording capacity. I hope 1020 improve its sound recording further.
And 1020 do make phone call, whatsapps, facebook, cloud computing, map, send files to flickr (i hope) etc... really. What else do one need ? Games?
Btw, my kids dropped my wife's 808 countless time (with plastic protective cover), and it still runs till this day. Nokia product quality is beyond doubt I think.
For video, OIS may cause "jelly effect". So need to understand and still maintain steady hands. Should not be compromise or taken for granted for having OIS.
Yes, sound is superb, but should not compared to camcorder. Comparing with any smartphones, the 808 sound recording is incomparable, too much noticable difference, not "slightly difference" but one that you can tell right away even for many people. And the sound output from 808 is also great.
As for drop, the 808 is tougher than 1020. I own N9 and used to own L800, it's not as tough as 808, dropping those will surely cause dent or damage, but 808 is tougher (but heavy). Nonetheless, it also depends how it's dropped.

According to pureviewclub personal hand-on comparison, here's notable difference betw 808 & 1020:
1. 1020 actually has slightly smaller sensor size than 808.
2. F2.2 for 1020, F2.4 for 808
3. 1020 has BSI sensor for better low light imaging, and RGB sensor for better white balance. 808 has none of above.
4. 1020 has optical image stabiliser as earlier we mentioned.
5. xenon flash also for 1020, but slightly smaller than 808's.
6. 1020 comes with better software to control the camera features.
7. NO 'Bracketing', 'interval shot', or 'Timer' features ? ( I guess we need confirmation on that.)
8. PHotos to shoot at Either 5MP or 34MP, no more 8MP pureview mode, which I used the most.
9. NO saving in Raw Format !
10. 6x zoom in 360p video format, 4x zoom in fullHD format.
11. 1020 has lower minimal focusing distance than 808 it seems, but no details of how close it is.
12. 1020 has mechanical shutter.
There's something extra, when you shot in PureView Mode, it also save the full resolution image together. Usually with 808, I will take a full resolution and a PureView mode sample, with the 1020, just keep in PureView mode and you will get both sample.
Hope there's higher FPS for video, then can do slow-mo video. HTC One has it.
1020 comes with camera app which allows manual/advances controls, which is what I wanted for the 808 since the beginning and people been requesting it.
