What's next, a pissing contest about which phone provides the best home theater experience? |
I think it's likely true to say that more photos are being snapped with phones than dedicated cameras these days (they're completely wiping out the point & shoot camera market!), so why shouldn't those phone cameras be as good as they can possibly be?

No doubt they should be as good as possible, but fitting a big lens on a phone is simply not going to work and Nokia lying about the true capabilities by using dslrs in their photo shoots is very misleading.
This is what it truly looks like. http://www.engadget.com/photos/nokia-lumia-920-low-light-shoot/#5316114
Still can't match my 13 year old point and shoot 2mp Nikon Coolpix 950. Sadly that one recently died and I replaced it with a 16mp Canon powershot for on the go pictures. It's not bad, but the extra resolution doesn't do much as that tiny lens simply can't focus all that precisely.
The recent iPhone add had a cool feature though, automatically making a panaroma picture by slowly moving the camera around. No doubt it won't look as good as on the commercial but a fun gimmick. (which you probably won't use more then twice)

For the record, Nokia didn't lie. The advertising company that they used failed to put a disclaimer on the advertisement that what was shown was a simulation, just like the iPhone commercials show things in ways that aren't representative on the real world (e.g. one with a disclaimer and one without). It was a mistake, not a lie. If so, MANY advertisments are flat out lies that should be called out just as much.
As for that panorama feature ... bwhahahahaaa. The even the iPhone has had panorama apps that are more impressive than that for years. I hear no one talking about that because it's so derivative.
