I think you have a problem with your phone ... because it's the worst video I've seen from the lumia. I saw a lot of AWESOME video (audio and video), with no problem with the focus and sometime close to the stage. You have a ""crack"" sound on the video and it's the first time I heard it. the video don't look like a 1080p video. take a look of all the video there on this thread, they are all very good. If you don't have a better result with a lumia than an iphone 5 for a video like this ... you have a problem. The lumia won over iphone for video hand down.
The first one or two were 720p, the other are 1080p (I haven't noticed at first that it's set to 720p by default). The thing is that any vids I've made by day look and sound great.. And to be honest, I haven't seen any concert video made with the Lumia that would look much better than that.. On the other hand I've seen at least one night video with the same blinding lights problem (on a YT comparison between the 920 and the iPhone I think), so I'm thinking that that's just the way it is. Can you show me any concert video proving otherwise? I've seen the one from the sports game here, but that's different, everything was lit there, and on a concert you only have the stage and multiple flashing light sources, which I guess might be the reason why the phone can't focus..
And if I do have a hardware problem, how can I prove it to Nokia? How can it be basis for a phone replacement? I can't just say "I don't like the quality of the videos it's taking", can I..
Night time video in the car. Looks great and smooth.

here is 100% crop of her, and she is not sharp either
I would say, if you will video any concert, don't forget to turn off the "Auto-focus feature" since it may produce the blurry video as you got.
Anyway, your sound quality still not that good comparing with the others Lumia920
I search in YouTube and I found some footage which I think the quality is quite good, no foggy video and audio quality is pretty good.
Here's the footage I mentioned.

Indeed, that does sound better. Do you think my microphone is faulty? Should I have it checked out?
And can you tell me how the focus works with the auto-focus (continuous focus) turned off? Should I somehow focus first? (like when taking a photo) Or can I focus manually while filming? (like on the iPhone, touch to focus, same as with the new Canon STM lens)
And by the way, on your vid, is the continuous focus off? Because it seems like it's continuously re-focussing (just in your case doing it right)
Thanks!
