Nokia Lumia 920 lets you have two lens type namely smart shoot lens and Cinemagraph lens. Smart shoot helps you remove objects/people moving in an image for example it helps in removing people in art gallery picture. Cinemagraph lens is like a GIF maker that animates part of the image to make it lively.
They even claim that their Pureview camera that lets you open the shutter for long, is more effective than the high end DSLRs.
Let's see how the device goes with the tech pundits with all the impressive features more on the camera side with Pureview, but it lil disappoints me over the absence of SIRI and Google Now like assistant from Nokia which I expected it to be there to battle strongly with Giant Apple and Google.
