Video: Optical Image Stabilisation demo on Nokia Lumia 920 (at&t)

It was possibly a lot clearer in the first video this morning (the clip seems to be played back on the device), but here’s another session showing a demo of optical image stabilisation (close up) on the Nokia Lumia 920. Notice the immediate change in the viewfinder when the OIS is off and when it is activated with half press.

I can imagine OIS pairing up quite excellently with PureView V1. Think stable shots at the telephoto/zoom end. On Friday, whilst everyone was attempting to take potato pictures of the lecture slides with their free iPad, I used the Nokia 808 PureView. So much clearer, but when I zoomed in, the fine text was not as clear as it could have been if I had a tripod.

Note, this is an AT&T branded 920.

    very cool.. is it going to help them sell more than 500k boxes on ATT this q ? Doubtful.

    $50 (or free) dollar price tag on contract price tag… oh ya, then they might sell some of those “super sized” phones.

    i am tired of all of these in person demos of the 920.. the phone is mere weeks away from being released, so why isn’t there any review units out there?

    Why don’t we have any full resolution original images or videos to review from this phone yet?

    All we have are these arm’s length demos from Nokia sales people..
    Is Nokia hiding something?

    This almost reminds me of when a bad movie is made.. the producers will not send out any early review copies, as the negative reviews may hurt initial sales..

    Of course, i may be wrong.. I just find it curious all we have are these vague promotional demos to go on.. and nothing in depth yet when the phone has to be in production to be released in a couple of weeks.

      Blah blah wine wine Engadget sent Myriam to Espoo and she posted several movies and full images and guess what, OIS works just as advertised.

      Well, they are being a lot more open with their WP8 phone than anyone else is. Nokia seem desperate to show off what it can do, but I think MS are trying to keep things under wraps for now.
      Have we seen any live demos of the Ativ or HTC W8 phones?
