Great catch from The Verge: a video purportedly shot with the Lumia 920 by an actor riding a bicycle was actually shot by a cameraman riding in a van with a professional camera rig and lighting setup. In an update:
We spoke with a Nokia spokesperson who agrees that the PureView ad is misleading. They stressed that it was “never the company’s intention to deceive anyone,” but only to demonstrate the benefits of optical image stabilization.
Bullshit. It’s clear that this was meant to demonstrate footage shot using the Lumia itself.
