First Videos and Photos Uploaded from iPhone 3G S?

To all the people that don't understand the purpose and potential of a cell-phone camera:



I have SLRs, i have point and shoots and I don't want to get rid of them!
When I want to take Pictures, I grab the gear that suits my need for image quality yet fits the weight limits of the trip.

Now, when I'm just LIVING, not walking around with my cameras and I see something that is worth taking a picture of, maybe not from an artistic perspective but from an informative one. Now, what do I have in my pockets? Right, a swiss army knife, my car keys, my wallet... AND.... my phone!

So, to give you an idea of what I've used my Sony ericcson K750/K800 included cameras for, BEFORE i got the iPhone 1:
  • poster with date/place of event
  • sheet with important information that I didn't want to xerox or keep
  • bills for warranty issues (if I don't have a pdf), taking a pic is WAY faster than scanning!
  • funny/rememberable situations/occasions that appear out of nowhere!
  • a car accident
  • a coupon code at some store

etc etc.

needed the coupon code 3 months later, do you think I want to carry a stupid piece of paper around in my wallet? Do you think I want to keep all kinds of stupid little copies? NOOOO

If you don't see the use of a proper phone camera, your imagination is VERY limited!!!

lol, feel better now? :)

I totally agree. It doesn't matter WHY people want them anyway. If people want them, manufacturers should provide them. Simple!
 
Re: Aspect Ratio

With respect to the second video, it's quite easy to crop a 4:3 video and make it appear to be 16:9. It's very likely that the editor just didn't include the letterbox portion when he (or she) uploaded the video - this is smart as you inherently create a smaller file by excluding the letterbox (black bars).

I compared the quicktime file linked by el3ktro to the "iPhone 3Gs 2nd Video" YouTube video. Definitely cropped. Yes, I'm pretty bored at work and very much excited about moving on from my 1st Gen Aluminum Beauty.

I used MS Paint. Flame me!

Check out his other video, it shows much more stuff:

Also, with the addition of music, it makes me wonder if the video editing allows you to mix in a song from your iPod? That would be hot.

I like Pink Floyd, but I wish he would have chosen a different song, I just felt depressed while watching it. : ) Maybe some Katrina and the Waves would have been better.

EDIT: Never mind, I see he edited the movie with iMovie...

wait, so does the video camera only record video and not sound?
 
3G S shoot very good pictures and record incredible good quality video.
It's as good as the 5 megapixel cameraphones out there and for the the major part of the users it's more than enough. If you want better camera buy a separate one, because the purpose of the mobile cameras are limited to non professional usage. That's all.
I think 3G S is a great deal with this functionality and the people who disagree can buy the normal 3G, for a freaking low cost. There's is no other phone like the iPhone, this is something I hope everyone in this forum totally agree.

I hope to get one soon, here in Spain.

You are not missing anything. It's a 30 second video of just looking at an iPhone box that has an "S" after the iPhone 3G. That's all the video is. I hope you are safe. I would not want to be in ANY country that is filtering my internet content for me. :eek:
