like N8

Not sure about Damien, just wait for him. However, since he's working under Nokia, he might have to help and protect the company as well.

Anyway, all I can say is, originally, the actual PureView for Lumia wasn't planned for this early devices. WP8 is still NEW and there's many things to work on.
I would see that the PureView is supposed to be use on a flagship camera Lumia smartphone.
BUT, Nokia needed something badly to promote their Lumia running WP8, they need it badly.

There seems to be nothing to show off or special about the new Lumia, the hardware isn't very good either. The have to face tough competition from Samseng, HTC and others. Plus, in WP7, Nokia lost against HTC, right? Despite being so special with ties with MS.... and HTC weren't even focusing on WP7.

Let's be honest, many people would buy the Lumia JUST because of the "PureView" word.
It's no matter what or how I see it, a markting purpose.
They build and fame the "PureView" term using 808 PureView. Now it can help to boost Lumia sales.

there's your 2 light sources

joke of the day by nokia

actually looks like there is also a much bigger light shining in from the top left there which i guess lighted up the roads.

Apparently Damian says it the picture is real. I trusted him, so please don't disappoint, Damian? haha

Desperate in marketing eah Nokia. padan muka I'll stay with N8 and 808 for a while

Damian is the name of satan's son in the movie The Omen

Real in the sense they were taken from PureView camera not a DSLR... but they were taken in a better light than the SGS3 ones.

actually look closely at that pic on the left side where the blue shirt person is, you can see a DSLR lens just poking out from the frame.

dammit terkena jugak guwa

Yes but we don't know if the DSLR was used initially to gauge the position for where to put the phone. All I know is that Nokia played a dirty trick when they were showing the comparison photos between the 920 and SGS3.

thats why God gave ppl eyes, to gauge where to put the phone

Added on September 7, 2012, 11:09 amits not like the phone has no LCD that you cannot judge the framing and so need something else to help...

which reminds me of something else now...for a 26 / 28mm fov...the pictures doesnt have that much distortion for something taken quite close up...so very likely a much better lens like from a DSLR is used...

I agree that the whole thing is dodgy anyhow.

Nokia's marketing department is basically one of the most arrogant out there.

- They always crash other companies events. I remember they sent people to HTC's Desire HD event, Samsung's ATIV event to remind them that Nokia event is happening soon.

- They like to criticize other companies with lies. They called iPhone users Beta testers when they released the Lumia 900. Turns out WP7 was the Beta test.

- They waste time with retarded ads like this one with the girls stripping in russia. They think that sex will sell phones. Apple's ads are always about the phone.

thats why nokia should just keep quiet, then once its released let the phone promote itself...like the 808

I followed Damian's tweet, and he never said those photos are genuine. But he only claimed that the photos HERE are genuine.

That include one of the Deck video that showed the OIS function.

too bad that couple of those photos have been proven to be taken by something else like a DSLR.

and the shots with other brand phone now labeled with "shot with flash on"

how to compare leh like that, nokia?

such a difference to how when 808 was introduced, no lame trickery but full glorious 38MP original resolution images with complete EXIF freely available for everyone to inspect and scrutinize. Come to think of it, there're also zero hint of pureview phases in the original plan, most probably a lame elop instructed changes to cater for mainstream supermodel thin smartphone. This 808 that we are holding today might probably be the last smartphone will such high mp count in history until maybe we have alien technology to defy physics, a collector item as some symbian blog defined it.

Think about what Samseng, HTC and other brands will do to their ads next time?

HIGHLIGHT BIG BIG in the video
"We don't use FAKE images"

Those photos on the site I gave all claimed to be genuine. But in the adverts, where the girl seen on the roadside are not.

I don't think I will side whoever, but thats the info I knew so far.
