WinPhoneViet reports that a video has popped of of Microsoft demonstrating the Lumia Camera 5 on the Nokia Lumia 830, giving some hope that we will be seeing it sooner rather than later.

The video, which was recorded by Blogjack at a conference in Malaysia, demonstrates 2 great features of the app, that being fast start-up times and a HDR mode.

Lumia Denim and Lumia Camera 5 will bring:

  • Lumia Camera – Replacing Nokia Camera, Lumia Camera is faster and more intuitive than before to make the best camera experience, even better.
  • Speed – Pocket to capture speeds are superfast, and it only takes milliseconds going from shot to shot.
  • Moment Capture – A long press of the camera button starts 4K-quality video recording at 24 FPS. With each frame at 8.3 megapixels, you can save individual frames as high quality still images.
  • Rich Capture – Auto HDR and Dynamic Flash are now welcomed into the already-impressive feature set. Shoot first and adjust the camera settings later for that perfect photo.
  • Improved image processing algorithms – Updated to give you clearer photos, even in lowlight.
  • “Hey Cortana” Voice Activation – Gone are the days of pressing the microphone button to wake-up Cortana. Simply say “Hey Cortana” while the phone is idle and Cortana will activate.This is possible thanks to the SensorCore technology.
  • Glance Screen – Compatible Lumia devices can now show more at a glance with Bing Weather, or Bing Health & Fitness data, in addition to time and date, notifications and application data.

At present we expect the Lumia Camera update to be delivered with the Lumia Denim update, and that for some handsets this could still occur before the end of the year.
