The first footage from the PureView camera aboard Nokia’s Lumia 928 is up on the phone’s official landing page, showing how it compares against the iPhone 5 and Samsung’s Galaxy S III at shooting video on a New York rollercoaster. Unsurprisingly, the results definitely appear to favor the 928 — colors appear more saturated, with sharper focus and fewer blown-out highlights than the competition. It’s important to keep in mind that this is a single test from the phone's manufacturer, but so far so good.

Other details include the rumored 8.7-megapixel resolution and optical image stabilization, keeping it in line with the camera on last year’s Lumia 920. In fact, it's still not clear what, if anything, is different between the two. Nevertheless, if you want to see how Nokia's latest fares against the competition, check out the video below.
