“They grabbed what they could get for the sake of what was to be got. It was just robbery with violence, aggravated murder on a great scale, and men going at it blind – as is very proper for those who tackle a darkness. The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it too much.” (via My search for a smartphone ends here | George Monbiot | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk)

If you get past the initial portion of video that focuses on video stabilization, you’ll eventually get to some low light images shot on a street. It’s here blogger Youssef Sarhan, resident of Helsinki, noticed that the lighting was off and nowhere on those streets would you actually find such strong lighting such as the one seen in the video. The second thing he noticed was the diffraction pattern of the street lamps in the background. Sarhan mentions that in order to achieve such high number of spikes for the lamps, the lens aperture has to be really low, around f/22, which is not possible for the wide f/2.0 lens on the Lumia 920. In other words, Nokia used a professional camera once again to shoot these images and tried to pass them off as Lumia 920 samples.
