I got friendly with a guy at a care centre. He said he'd swap out the camera unit for me and see if it improves. I said I'd wait for the update first. We'll see.
I have epilepsy.
I would be offended, but then I thought of me having a fit whilst taking a picture.
At least it wouldn't be blurry.
Somebody posted on another 920 topic that gdr2 adds some higher iso and shoots better pictures. So you are right about the changed algorithyms
We can safely say that the problem is software related because if you install Camera360 and take some pictures using the manual focus mode your shots will be spot on.
I have Camera360 and it's a bit of a pain having to manually focus if the camera has "auto focus".
As you can see by the shot, I held the camera pretty still as evidenced by the sofa not being blurred and the floor also.
It just seems that any movement any of the object, no matter how small, gives blurred shots.
I don't know if the EXIF data is uploaded in the shot, but it gives a shutter speed of f1/13 and ISO of 640. No Flash. File size is 1.95mb
I'll try and upload some other examples.

@Gustavo Sanchez, my bad.
It is f/2, Shutter Speed 1/13 & ISO 640
Yep, the phone "knows" it got OIS so it keeps the shutter open a bit longer than on non-stabilized units to keep ISO down and image quality up. It works great for stationary objects and landscapes but the backside is that if the subject itself moves the OIS won't compensate for that movement. In the end you end up with great sharp low ISO surroundings but a blurry subject. I think it's a good priority though and when you need to freeze movement you have to force it to choose a faster shutter at the cost of overall image quality.Unfortunately OIS does not handle moving subjects very well. Because it can keep the lens steady, it opens the shutter for a longer period of time. The trade off for letting in more light is that you get blurrier pictures. It happens with my cat as well. Try turning the lights off in your bedroom for example and then take a picture with the iphone and your lumia 920. You'll immediately notice the benefit of the OIS
