Would you even use video recording? [POLL]

I would and am using it

Considering the iPhone is such a versatile device, and the kind of device that almost does it all, why would you not want something that records video as well? Convergence FTW!

I believe a video app is essential for the iPhone as an All-In-One device.
I mean, I'm not looking to shoot documentaries or the next great epic film with my iPhone. But, have a video recorder handy on a daily basis is essential to record car accidents, capture those rare moments, etc.
Apple definitely should come out with a video app soon.

I chose the last option, because I'd like it, and I'd use it, but I'd much rather have some options like copy/paste and MMS if it was an either/or type of deal. I used the video recorder on my Treo, but not all the time. It is definitely nice to have the option when the situation arises.
There is a difference in digital film recording verses film.
From my past experience with action video, I found that 15fps is way too slow for any motion. At 20fps is seems like you are in a dream. At 30fps is seems normal.
IMHO, that is too slow to be worthwhile.
So we may need to wait until the next version to get decent video recording provided by Apple or a third party app.
Interesting comment.
For those who want video recording, what would you record?
Here is what comes to mind for me:
- A surprise event where you only have your iPhone with you and you want to record a video.
- To capture what is in a room, for inventory purposes.
- To capture something while moving. Once video is taken, you can extract the pic that you want.
- To add information to a message such as here is what you need to do. Follow these steps.
- You are eating something that continues to move, so you cannot take a still pic to send to your friends.

How about to record suprise encounters after a night at the bar...
See I really don't care about a video recorder or not, but you're absolutely right! The first thing I thought when I saw the YouTube app was how great it would be to be able to record and even upload a video right from your phone. I really think Apple needs to create a video application. Jailbreaks prove that the camera is capable of recording video, and I really think that for 2.1 or maybe 2.2 Apple needs to make a native app.
wouldn't it just be so much better to only have an iphone in your pocket instead though.
+1 on the direct youtube upload.
You can already capture pictures and upload them strait to the web.
Why cant you with video!?
Before I got my iPhone last month I had a regular LG8300 cell phone with a camera that took stills and video...I never used either function.
With my Iphone, I find that I'm using the camera feature all the time. I can't wait for the video app to be released and the bugs worked out...it shouldn't be too long.
