re: engadget being suspiciously friendly to Nokia.. i think that if you're willing to actually send a reporter to Espoo, Finland (of all places), Nokia would likely be happy to provide access. especially so, given what now appears to have been a significantly overblown reaction to their introduction of the technology (as the actual usage results appear to validate what was demoed, even if not shot with the Lumia at the time)..

and the Lumia 920 camera apparently has a narrower focal length (which results in a wider field of view), so it can capture more on-screen than than the iPhone; hence it looking particularly 'zoomed-in' when compared side-by-side.

additionally, and i'm not entirely sure about this, but the digital image stabilization software (in contrast to Nokia's actual/mechanical OIS) found on the other phones may have some cropping involved to help smooth-out shaking which would be typically most noticible around the edges..
