So maybe The Verge's whole freakout over it was completely unwarranted? Maybe Nokia knew what the effect of OIS would be when they made the ad -- after having done the R&D to develop the camera in the first place?
- objclxt 14y agoI disagree: I think it was somewhat warranted. The fact the end-result looks similar to the faked result is beside the point. Many countries, the US included, have decided that if you cannot fake product demos in advertising unless it is clear that's what's going on. Hence the "Sequences Shortened" text on the iPhone ads. It is rather unethical to produce a marketing video that fakes functionality and doesn't make it clear that's what's going on. You may well not be over-exaggerating anything, but personally I don't think that's relevant.
- untog 14y agoI would argue that the "Sequences Shorted" text doesn't make anything clear at all. It's a barely noticeable cop-out.
