Comparison of video shooting on Nokia Lumia 920 with iPhone5 and Nokia 808 PureView
For several years in a row, the iPhone held the palm in the segment of smartphones. In any case, it was so in the consumer mind. Nokia, one of the first to launch camera phones in its time, seemed to be lagging behind. Although this lag was more stereotypical, in fact, Nokia had the N8, which, although it does not shoot video with Full HD resolution, but also takes pictures and shoots HD video, not worse than the notorious iPhone. But this year, with the release of 808 Pureview, Nokia took a sharp lead. It seemed no one in the next few years would be able to release a smartphone with a better camera. It is not strange, after a few months Nokia itself released such a smartphone, and it is called Lumia 920.
A couple of months ago, when Apple released the iPhone5, I already did its comparative video test with the Nokia 808 PureView . As it seemed to me, the iPhone won the Nokia 808 image stabilization, however, this stabilization was achieved by digital means, that is, by blurring the picture, so that Nokia 808 turned out to be much stronger than the picture. The 41 megapixel in the Nokia 808 PureView had no meaning in this case, because only 8 megapixels are used during video recording, and the rest come into effect only when zooming, which, in fact, is digital, in quality (due to the stock of megapixels on the matrix ) comparable to optical.

And in the Lumia 920, Nokia, together with its regular partner Carl Zeiss, first implemented optical stabilization in the camera’s built-in smartphone. At the same time, the resolution of the camera itself is not so gigantic: 8.7 Mp. These 8.7, rather than the usual 8 MP standard ones that have already become standard, appeared in order for a widescreen photo and video to be shot exactly at 8 megapixel, because all other smart cameras with 8 megapixel wide images are made with a resolution of 7 megapixel. Also in the camera Lumia 920 used matrix with reverse illumination, which reduces noise at an increased level of sensitivity of the matrix. Secondly, a new lens was used in the camera, with a reduced f-number - 2.0 against 2.4 in the Nokia 808.
And now I propose to consider a few comparative and a couple of illustrative videos. The clips were shot with the help of such a setup from foam plastic, into which two smartphones were inserted:
So, the first two videos were shot at 808 and 920 in low light conditions. The difference turned out to be huge, both in sensitivity and in stabilization.
Remembering my previous Nokia 808 and iPhione5 benchmarking test, in which the iPhone5 looked significantly better in terms of image stabilization, I decided to compare the Lumia 920 and iPhone5. That's what came out of it.
Finally, I’ll give you a couple of videos shot on the Lumia 920, so that the viewer-reader has the opportunity to consider the work of optical stabilization and autofocus separately.
I do not want to impose my point of view, but it really seems to me that the Lumia 920 is currently the best camcorder built into the smartphone. Even when running, objects on the Lumia 920 recording do not become blurred, do not lose their contours, each step is clearly visible, as is customary in the movies when a subjective camera is used. I think if you use a smartphone stadium with the Lumia 920, then you’ll get an absolutely full-fledged movie picture.
As for the sound, then it, despite the presence of three microphones, the Lumia 920 is writing only one channel so far, that is mono. I think a more advanced recording system will appear in the firmware updates. Although now the sound is written very well:
