Um... You do understand that Engadget isn't on the payroll of Nokia, right? These are not marketing photos. They're photos taken by tech journalists who were visiting Finland, and were given a chance to get some try the camera out. Which is something they'd clearly be delighted to do, since due to the earlier controversy this makes for easy to sell news.
What exactly did you expect Nokia to do? Pass on this opportunity to set the record straight on the controversy from a few weeks ago? Tell them that they're only allowed to publish pictures of something appropriately vibrant and photogenic?
And your complaint about is ridiculous on another level. If you've ever seen actual Nokia marketing photos, e.g. for the N8 or the 808, they tend to be exactly what you asked for. Dramatic, colorful, lively photos from awesome locations all around the world. But such shots from Nokia marketing aren't particularly relevant in this case. First, the authenticity of their photos is questionable right now. Second, such photos aren't a particularly good way of highlighting the unique selling point of low light performance.
