What camera (and video) resolution will you use??

Camera:

I like 8mp, but if you drop it down to 6.5mp you get wide screen photos which makes full use of the screen when viewing in the gallery, which I like, too.


Camcorder:

I like 1080p, but I've heard that if you record at 720p you get more frames/sec (24 vs 30), thus smoother video (true?). If this one is true, I'll pry go with 720, as most cannot tell a difference between 720 and 1080 anyway, and I like smoother video.


What do you guys think about these camera topics?
 
Camera: 8mp - i use my phone as camera substitute often so would rather have better quality than how it looks in gallery as i transfer to computer periodically.

Video: 720p just to get smoother video as you suggest. i'd rather have better looking video than be able to brag about it being 1080p.
