AAS: Video test – Nokia Lumia 1020 vs Nokia 808 PureView

Steve Litchfield from All About Symbian compares the video capture of the Nokia Lumia 1020 against the Nokia 808 PureView.

The OIS really shows itself off when zooming – the 808 shakes a bit whilst the 1020 looks steady – to the point that you can’t really tell you’re zoomed in on the 1020. On the 808, the shake when zoomed in is exaggerated and obvious. Steve agrees and says that the OIS makes it rather special.

Viewing the montage several times, as I have, it’s hard not to give the Lumia 1020 the win overall, if I’m honest. Yes, the colours are more accurate in the 808 footage and yes, there’s very slightly more clarity and detail in some of the scenes, thanks to the real time hardware-accelerated oversampling. But the presence of a really decent OIS system in the Lumia 1020 makes a huge difference to video capture. I’m even warming to the 1020’s slightly ‘richer than life’ colour casts – hey, every day should glow like this!

Cheers Alvester for the tip
