I read at least one forum report that changing the class of microSD had no affect on video bitrate. Likely it's going to involve some type of software/ROM editing to get the video recorder to switch to a higher bitrate when a higher class microSD is used..

can anyone else confirm if the class of the sd card will make a difference recording hd on the evo? also nullkill, if it wouldnt be too much trouble could you post a video. i would really like to see how much better your quality is than mine.

as always, thanks for all the helpful peeps on this forum you guys are invaluable!

I'm not saying it's the most amazing but it's damn good for a phone and it gets alot better at the end when I go outside as I started recording through a window.

Make sure you select the 720P option or it will look like crap!

well you actually cleared up 2 things for me. first not sure if the sd card makes a difference as i cannot tell a difference between your video and mine. i think we need some experts to comment on that. second i have always wondered if those damn upside down gardens actually work. i will have to get one by the end of the week lol.

thanks for taking the time to do that

LoL I was hoping that would help someone (the garden thing). I love my topsy turbee or whatever!

Again I didn't notice any difference between recording with the Class 2 but thought the video was pretty good and didn't get what the complaints were about. I can post a video of my $1000 canon camera and it will not be much better!

I see absolutely no difference between the 8GB class 2 that came with the EVO and a 16GB class 6 from newegg.

Ive noticed that issue too. When I record with 720p it is kind of grainy. I dont know if its just that I was comming from a tp2 and we all know how bad that the video/picture quality on that was. I have never tried using the hdmi outputs on the phone to a hdtv but i was always just hoping that if i ever got the chance it would look better. but although our evos have a 8mp camera on it i still dont expect it to be the best quality.

For comparison's sake, here is a sample of 720p recording from the Samsung Galaxy S. Listen to the degree of audio quality difference too, completely a different level.

I'm sorry but is that a joke? Am I supposed to notice something different between the 3 vids in this thread other than inside the camera sucks? I'm done with this thread EVO has a damn nice camera. I know some of you are gunna blah blah blah....... and you know what? it's still is a nice camera.
