I'm torn. It looks like the frame-rate was kinda low.... Don't know if that had to do with uploading it onto youtube or what..... when I heard 720p I think awesome, but 720p doesn't mean much if it's choppy whenever something actually moves...still excited about the rest of the phone though

edit: Maybe my expectations are too high? I know you gotta spend about the same amount of money ($199) for a semi decent DV recorder... you're spending this much and getting so much more..... at least the video looks usable.. any other phone I've owned it wasn't even worth using the video feature (Touch, Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2, Hero)

For the size of the camera on the Evo 4G, or any phone in that matter...you can't expect it to be super blazing high quality. The camera on that phone is smaller than the pinky finger...and thats it...my Point and shoot Canon SX110 doesn't even do that good of quality on video...so thats saying something....but I'm not worried about it. The camera is meant for those quick shots, quick videos...not a replacement of your DV or HD camera you paid $200-500 for. From the video I would be pretty happy with it...says much more than what my current TP2 does for video, thats utter crap.

I thought the vid was bada$$ for a phone. I rarely used the video camera on any of my prior phones due to them sucking so much. I think this is a huge step if not leap ahead.

I'm happy with the quality.

the best way to show any flaws in these cmos imagers is to shoot in low light. that brings out the imperfections in the imager and also show the grain (if any) and video noise present. if you go out in sunlight or bright light you will not see any major imperfections since the video noise to signal is so low (high video signal over comes the noise). so you cats with an EVO, take some video in low light (say just a table lamp or ambient light or even on a dimly lit street) and post up in 720p...
