Two New Videos from I/O

[rhwd2003]

Here is one with a guy who looks like he has already setup the phone and is actually using it since all the apps he has downloaded and setup on his home screens. Look how fast this thing is!!!!!!!!!! PLus it shows the FM transmitter.

YouTube - HTC Evo 4G

Here is another actually showing off the 720p recording, this doesnt look as bad as some of the other ones even though its in low light.

YouTube - Testing HTC EVO 4G 720p

from the videos i've seen, i'm a little disappointed in the camcorder. however, for a phone, it's really pretty solid and i'm sure it'll be serviceable

I agree, the video quality doesn't seem to be on par with the real HD camcorder/cameras that records in 720p. Maybe it's the bitrate? seems too low. But better to have a video phone in a situation where you need to shoot some video, than no video at all

That's the way i look at it. It's not like I plan to use it to record professional videos.

Yes, I read somewhere that the bit rate is about 10 times less than a real 720p camcorder.

disappointed in video recorder? are you serious. that was probably the best video recorder i have seen on ANY phone to date. was crystal clear when not in low light.

This will probably change with the new froyo 2.2.

The video has to be as good as one of those FLIP camcorders, even their HD ones. If it is then that is gold to always have this with you.

I would not expect it to be as good as my stand alone HD camcorder in the first place. I also bet newer 3rd party software will come out that uses less compression and gives better results. It is at least possible I am sure.

if you need better video than that, you should have a digital camera
