Uh did anyone really think that they shoot an advertisement with a mobile camera?


An advert purporting to show the video quality of the camera? Yes. If it's not showing the actual quality of the image, what is it meant to be showing? "This is what effect image stabilisation has on a vastly different camera. So buy ours"?


It is like what they used to do with video games, where lots of games would not show actual game footage on the backs of the boxes. They would show cut scenes.

I expected better from Nokia. They were running on a high after saving the bloggers that Samsung hung out to dry.


If they said they did, then yes.


Seriously, do you think that they did not special effects for the following iphone commercial? I'm not a cameraman, but i guess it's simply impossible to get this quality by just filming a real device.

Nobody is complaining that they fake the screen of the device in a commercial. Yes, it's hard to film that. But when you are showing off imagery that is supposed to be coming from the device it had better be accurate.
