**WHOOPS!!, typed 3g instead of 4g lol**
After reading many reviews saying that the camera doesn't live up to the hype, I did a little research into other phones, whom camera is never downed on or mentioned much about.
***Don't forget to switch the videos to 720p***
Evo: backfacing
YouTube - EVO Video Sample: Creeping on a Cardinal
YouTube - San Francisco in 720p on EVO 4G #2
Evo: Front facing:
YouTube - HTC EVO 4G Camera Test - Part III (Front-facing camera)
3GS:
YouTube - iPhone 3GS Video Samples Set 1
Droid:
YouTube - Moto Droid video sample 2009-11-07
Now for some of the designated mini HD cameras:
Flip Mino HD:
YouTube - flip mino hd, pocket camcorder video footage by river
Kodak zi8 720 30fps:
YouTube - Kodak Zi8 Raw Footage - Flowers 720p 30fps
You know, I'm thinking that the public has been pretty rough on this phone's video camera. Possibly b/c it says it's 720 and people are expecting 1080 type quality or HD hand held SONY type quality. They aren't taking into consideration that it's packed into a thin package along with other 'phone' components and not a device designed ONLY to video record. From my little research (20 minutes or so), it's obvious that the Evo video is definitely the best out there right now for recording, even though it's not HD enough for some folks. Of course it won't replace our Kodak zi8, but if it's forgotten home, I'll have something to step up to the plate and provide decent quality images/videos.
Hope this helps yall out. Can't wait for tomorrow!
