Their web content is really disjointed...

It's a continuation of scene. I think they were attempting a panorama where half was "before" and half was after, but the subject and feel of each side of the pano is just so different, that it hardly has a comparison effect!

For a true before/after, see these images:

That's the first thing I noticed and it made me laugh pretty hard. Such nice editing software haha.

it's one long panoramic with the left side the before and the right side the after.

It's a panorama image split in the middle. What it lacks to be useful is that split bar should be a slider so you can see the before after effect on that image.

It's actually a single wide shot with a bar down the middle. I agree that it's unintuitive.

Didn't Nokia try this already?

I'm pretty sure the camera world has settled into two kinds of cameras: cell phones for people who just need to take a few snaps, and DSLRs for people who need more features than can possibly fit in a cameraphone (flash hotshoe, changeable lenses, larger sensor, etc). DSLRs are cheap enough that cost isn't really an issue.

I doubt the results here will be any better than Nokia had.
