When potential exceeds ambition, or purpose exceeds potential, the likelihood of success is limited.

Something’s going on somewhere with that 2nd video because I’ve seen MUCH more stable N8 videos (yes, including non-pro ones that are unedited). That one’s kinda jerky.

Also just to correct the above posters, N8 has totally smooth zoom that’s almost as good as optical.

Go to 1:51, the N8 does a pretty good job here of zooming.

If you watch the video on the alleged “optical zoom”, the picture pixelates when the zoom effect happens. This leads me to believe that this is a digital zoom effect done with iMovie in order to accentuate the ’2015′ name.

No, the zooming on N8 is just like any other digital zoom except that it has Intelligent Digital zoom. It doesnt make zooming smooth though.

yea that was a bit odd; maybe that’s how nokia has the digital zoom working? when you flow from 1x-3x?

the blandness in colour (the impression i get of the n8 camera) seems accurate though

The first video looks KINDA fake to me. You can see from 0:34 to 0:37 that they did an optical zoom-in – zoom-out. Also, like you mentioned, the video looks a bit too stabilized.
But then again, everything in the video is sharply focused so I can’t really tell.

The second video, however, looks much more like N8.
