sigh So the OIS actually does work as well as claimed, which boggles the mind why they felt they had to fake it in the ad.
Not to give in to conspiracies of any sort, but these videos prove nothing. 1. Why are the zoom levels different? 2. I'm certain the HTC One X can shoot more decent videos than what we saw. 3. Are we dealing with equivalent bitrates? 4. Isn't Image Stabilization a post-processing solved problem? I mean, it's great to have it in real-time (after a google search, it seems all three do have the feature), but there's not…

1. Lumia have wider field of view. 4. Today commercially available video post processing algorithms can only solve relative stabilisation between frames of video, because inframe stabilisation is still very slow for modern hardware. *Edited. 4 was "No, because post processing can only solve relative stabilisation between frames of video, it does not work within one frame."

If we're honest, this is hardly surprising. Before Nokia made it's commitment to Microsoft, they were a company at the forefront of phone technology, including their cameras. However, what this does actually do is beg the question of why they opted for Microsoft. I'm without a doubt in my mind that if they were making Androids right now, they'd be dominating.

Overall, the 920 just seems way clearer, and objects have much sharper edges.

On one hand - the image stabilization on the Lumia appears to be great. However, the image quality on both the iPhone 5 & Galaxy S3 were much worse than I've experienced in day to day use. I've used both phones personally - and the video quality on the iPhone and GS3 is much better than what was shown (even if it's not "stable"). Any idea on why the quality on those was much lower than in real life?
