This was a good read. The 8mp camera shootout - 2011. Maybe you too will find it interesting.
Cheers.

for those that don't want to trawl through the pages of yet another gsmarena link... the conclusion was:-
If we had to recommend a cameraphone, it would be the iPhone 4S. The still camera was either the best or a close second in each category we tested. Also, it stole the show when it came to video recording. It goes to show that when Apple put their hearts to it, they can quickly climb to the top (and it was a steep climb too, if you remember the cameras on the early iPhones).
In a typical Apple fashion, the 4S focused on being perfect and wouldn't care for anything less - things like 720p or lower quality setting for stills.
Even so, the things that were included are highly desirable - native HDR mode, AE/AF lock and video stabilization can certainly make a difference.
The Samsung Galaxy S II is the runner up when it comes to overall performance - its still camera and camcorder beat the others most of the time. It used to be the standard-setter for 8MP/1080p mobile cameras but after 8 long (in tech terms) months on the market, it's time to cede that title.

Video or still image digital stabilization make little difference only optical ever does.

I'm surpised how poor Arc performs compared to iPhone 4S (I don't know how SE failed so much while using the same sensor
). Photos from iPhone are really nice, may even say the best in 8MPx phones.

In my opinion, having a video camera without stabilization is a waste of money. It is a must for getting proper results.

I tend to agree that image stabilization for video is very important. On the same topic of comparing cameraphones, i found
THIS article about Nokia N9 and the Lumia 800. It's in German and the shots are far from being perfect, his hand probably twitched more than once. Nonetheless, i enjoyed looking at the samples from both phones so .. sharing is caring

It is important of course but in many tests myself DIGITAL image stabilization is not very good & does not make much difference. Only physical optical stabilization in my experience has ever worked.
