Why are people getting excited about the imminent Nokia 808 PureView? Here's why. The video below goes right through the selling points of its unique camera, integrated into a modern smartphone. With example photos, example zooms and example video. Terrific stuff - I'm normally a bit sniffy about promo videos, but this one's well worth a watch.

See for yourself (thanks to CJ for the heads-up):

Kudos to Nokia for getting this video out there. Even though some of the transitions are clearly creations of the video editor used here, a large number of the zooms and pans are as-is on the 808 and will have to be seen to be believed.
