dpreview.com released their review of 920's camera. They do some serious reviews of DSLRs and have started reviewing key smartphone cameras only recently. The review is more or less in line with what we (at least I) know about.
Nokia Lumia 920 Camera Review: Connect
I have created a separate thread for this here:

"Nokia says this happens 500 times per second and results in a three-stop advantage in hand-holdability, which is on par with claims from dedicated camera makers. In other words, if you can normally hold the phone steady enough for a clear shot with a shutter speed of 1/30th of a second, Nokia’s OIS should keep you virtually steady down to 1/4 second. Another way to look at it: a low-light shot that would normally require ISO 800 (and all the noise that implies) could be shot at a more reasonable ISO 100 without shake-induced blurring."
Does it deliver? Nokia’s three-stop claim is largely borne out, with the 920 routinely delivering sharp images at 1/3rd of a second shutter speeds. You can see the OIS in action before you take a picture: the system kicks in when you half-press the shutter, and the preview image immediately snaps into a spooky steadiness, floating ghostly and immune to the usual micro-movements of your muscles.
The urge when given OIS is to push it to the extreme, and we did. The system hugely increases the number of sharp shots you’ll get at very slow, sub-1/10th of a second shutter speeds. That means you can afford to lower ISO for cleaner images, or in very low light, just get photographs that would be otherwise impossible to capture. "
"The 920’s F2.0 lens gives you about a half-stop advantage over most of the competition. So for example, with lighting and shutter speed being equal, the 920 could use an ISO setting of 200, while a competitor might need 280 or more. It’s not a big difference, but it’s an advantage."
" This makes it an ace at low-light photography of stationary objects, and partially addresses the Achilles heel of every phone camera on the market except Nokia’s own 808: poor low light performance. OIS also helps with borderline shutter speeds that non-stabilized phones routinely use anyway. While they simply hope for the best, the 920 stands an excellent chance of delivering a sharp image."

Hmmm you can't see my pictures? I logged in with a few browsers and they seem to be just fine. Are you mobile?

@ Sanders 2232 : These are the most sharp photos I have ever seen taken with L920, my N920 is not near that sharpness, you are one lycky.......

Sanders2232, nice shots! Photos of kids seem to have use the flash... and the flash exposure looks perfect. I'm repeatedly impressed by auto exposure accuracy of this camera. The only time I use manual EV adjustment is on night scene when camera tends to overexpose the dark sky a bit but that's probably a forgivable sin.
Thanks, I literally have 500+ shots like that of my kids currently on my SkyDrive
Ya you know the first couple days I had the camera I was not impressed with the indoor shots of my kids then someone on here gave me some pointers.
1. Always use ISO 200 indoors specially with kids or people.
2. Use the flash if possible, it might cause red eye but creative studio for the most part will fix that.
3. Use the camera button to ensure you have good focus before capturing. If hands are not that steady someone recently said take a deep breathe in then exhale really slow while taking the picture. I kind of laughed when I first read it then when I used that technique I was like wow this guy is a genius!
After I started doing this my photos all returned the quality you see here that I posted so now I'm going crazy taking pictures of my family. My wife is so impressed she ditched her S3 and now has the red Lumia 920.
