And the file for this minute of video is 42 megs on my phone, compared to 3 or 4 megs on the TP2. This certainly isn't 10 times better, and files of this size are not emailable, whereas I email the TP2 videos almost everyday. Of course, I can lower the settings to match those of the TP2 so I can shoot and email. We'll have to see how those turn out. All in all, the camera, like almost all of the other phone camera, falls far short of how they make it sound.

Some YouTube 720P HD test videos; HERE

Looks like it's about the lighting in most cases..

Thanks for the feedback so far, interesting read.

That is not from an EVO. The youtube description says : This was recorded in 720p HD on a Sony DSC-H20.

Yeah, but people that think megapixels are the ball game don't realize the lens is FAR more important. I have an early Kodak digital in the closet, from the late 90's. It cost over $1000 back then, and only has 1 megapixel. But it takes fabulous photos, because it has a large lens, and of good quality. At some point, I think more megapixels just make the crappy lens more apparent lol.

People often only take one factor into consideration, when really it is an equation with 2 or more factors. Those other factors often carry more weight than the one everyone tends to get stuck on. That's why a 50 horsepower tractor can drag a 500 horsepower car all over the place in a tug-of-war. The other factors include torque, weight, traction, and gearing.

In the case of the cameras, other factors include lens size and quality, and the CMOS sensor size and quality, and how naturally it fits the hand for steadiness sake.
