We all know it won't be as good as a real camcorder, however I really doubt Apple would have allowed it on to their phone if it didn't at least look "very good." Didn't they not enable video on the 3G because it was not up to their par? Apple is a company that puts a lot of emphasis on aesthetics so I would assume their new phone shoots some pretty decent video. We gotta remember it's a phone, not a real camcorder.
Got a tip for us?

Heres the actual link to that video on the Apple site.
http://movies.apple.com/media/us/ip...-us-20100607_462x308.m4v?width=462&height=308
462x308 resolution.
and yet under the video it states
"Actual unedited footage shot on iPhone 4."
Thats a blatent lie then? Its been resized, so its been edited then, hasnt it?

I think technically 'editing' would be splicing or otherwise modifying the coloring, quality, exposure, etc. I'm not sure 'resizing' really counts.
No, Edited is another word for altered. That video has been altered from 720 down to 308.
Yeah, its been shrank. but they should of just left in the full 720p video. They've resized it which defeats the purpose of the quality of the video
Well I guess next Thursday I will be able to judge for myself, thanks for that link (best one yet). I only wish it was in full size....
and I dont think that speculation is useless, it can prepair you for the real thing, and its a good way to waist a few minutes

Neither video is useful for anything.
Until someone posts an actual, untouched file dumped from both devices, there's nothing to see. The Evo file has been compressed by Youtube and the Apple video is 462x308. There are no valid comparisons to be drawn.
No it's not a lie. It's that size because they made it fit on the right side of the nested frame in the page.
Compare the UK and USA sites.

Look at the wording under the video.

The wording is gone.

I would take a huge amount of screen real estate. APple just wanted it to look pretty on the webpage.
New comparison here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUwutoAeGlI&feature=player_embedded Click HD, I think it's obvious which is better lmao
I seriously doubt one of those resolutions is 462x308.
As I said on the first page, until we have an original .mov with a 1280x720 H.264 stream @30 FPS there is no way to know what the iPhone video will look like. The real limiting factors will be the lens and the bitrate.
+1.
That video is stunning and so smooth. I can't wait to record my video of the dodgers in the All You Can Eat Pavilion!
Editing is referring to the content of the video, not the actual size/resolution.
The vid on apple's site looks awesome. Of course, I'm using the camera on the 3G right now which is slightly better than crayons on paper Can't wait!
Can't wait!It's not a lie, but your monitor doesn't have the pixel density to display the full resolution when viewing that video on the web on an "iPhone sized" slice of your screen.
that coppieness you see from the Evo is from the person panning so fast. That will happen on the Iphone 4 also. This happens on all HD camcorders right now and it's annoying as hell. Also ppl need to stop comparing the EVO video to the Iphone's video because we are watching two different things with different lighting.
Uhm, no.
If I play a Blue-Ray of Avatar on a 1080p TV and then hook it up to a 720p TV I haven't "edited Avatar."
I doubt you'll find many people who would say that "editing" is what happened in that case.
It's a shame that they didn't post the full version like they did with the photo samples. I'm sure they used some compression to make it load quicker.
The two things I take away from the clip is beautiful color/contrast and smoooooth frame rate.
The EVO video I have seen has been choppy and dark.

Thank you DJRM. That was the best example yet, in that example the iPhone 4 was superior not by much but it wasnt in the same spot and it was much shorter and a bit shakey. Well at least its not worst than the EVO
Thats the Florida intra Coastal, where are you ? Boynton beach? No Im way off...

If this is real, the iPhone 4 looks pretty good. Evo seems over-saturated if you ask me.
