Summary: 15 seconds of video with 13 custom filters You can choose the cover frame. Available for Android/iOS. Can view on web as well. New feature - 'Cinema' - cinematic stabilisation.
You forgot, "Beautiful". That's the most important part. Beautiful.

This is just a clever way to get video ads integrated into the facebook stream. Relevant: http://adage.com/abstract?article_id=242165
Not sure why people think this is about FB running ads. I highly doubt FB would consider pre-rolling an ad on a 15 second clip. Youtube is the king of pre-rolls... they probably have a min length requirement before they will insert a pre-roll. Ads don't make much sense on a 15 second clip.
#1: Wasn't obvious that you had to press and hold to record, and removing your finger from the record button pauses the recording. #2: The app seems to crash a fair bit. And when it crashes, your video disappears. Basically, I finished recording, and was trying to select a location.
It'd be a better experience if videos that you haven't posted yet are saved somewhere (ie: camera roll) so you can post it later.
To be honest, video is not something I'm going to be doing a lot of. Maybe once or twice, here and there (if I even remember it's there).

Not sure how you think a The "default" smartphone photos are leaps and bounds better than IG, the only thing that will "improve" them is higher res cameras, I'm sure the iPhone 5S will see an 18MP camera with better software. Just look at panorama - that's a serious achievement in smartphone cameras. Sharing photos is a different question/issue all together. 500px is a perfect example of an application that takes adv…
It doesn't really matter because Instagram photos are generally just viewed within Instagram, and they look fine there.

This is not a "killer feature" - Apple already includes a Class in iOS for video stabilization (AVCaptureConnection Class). This is just regurgitated marketing crap, as usual.
It's completely proprietary tech developed by a team of image processing specialists on the Instagram team. It does not use any standard iOS libraries in any way whatsoever.
Personally I like the limited "editing" capabilities of vine, where you hold a button and "fill up" part of the 6 seconds of video. It creates some really interesting possibilities that this simply won't have. This does have filters but I don't think that'll make up for it
Have you tried instagram's video feature yet? It totally has that same thing. Only with this you can undo your last shot, instead of re-starting if you mess up. Undo is an improvement on the formula, not a corruption.
