Video's Taken with the X

[Cory Streater]

Looks like there's some video captures being posted by a few lucky Droid X owners. If you happen to be one, feel free to post them here!

Personally, I'm not too thrilled with the quality I'm seeing in some of these video's, but then again I am not buying this phone for it's camera.

The most boring fireworks show I have ever seen.

Doesn't look too bad. Though I agree, that fireworks show was pretty bad. Was rather surprised how excited everyone was getting while watching it

 

[Cory Streater]

Lol, me too

Not bad, but I have to admit I thought it would be better. Anyone else?

Sorry about that I was trying to get most of the wing in the box and capture as much background motion as possible.

As you say, quality isn't too wonderful, but they are somewhat helpful. The high speed trip down an Illinois creek was amusing. I can just picture the Op paddling furiously while holding the phone in record.

I've been poring through the internet looking for good examples of 720P recordings on the DX, and on the Samsung Galaxy, and most of them have been painful to watch.

I don't know if I should blame the phones or the operators, but trying to video out of the drivers' window while driving helter skelter through a graveyard, or roaring down a highway is highly unlikely to produce a decent video. Why do photographers think it's a good idea to pan back and forth and up and down continuously and erratically? Not to say I'm any better, but I wish I could just get my hands on a DX for an hour or two, just to try it for myself, so that I could better understand what the heck is going on.

I'm almost ready to believe that the Galaxy performs better overall, but it does seem plagued by large intermittent gaps in recording. I'm still rooting for the DX - if anyone wants to let me try theirs, I'd be glad to try it out for them

I don't know. Maybe we are starting to expect a bit much from our phones. The 1st video link above didn't even have a 720P viewing option when I checked, so there was no way to tell the true quality of that one with the canoe. The other one? Taking pictures in the dark, with a phone ... looked pretty good to me... Maybe it's just me .. I mean, this is a phone ..

The video quality of your video was better than most phones I've seen so far. It seems as though the Droid X......can shoot better video quality depending on the light in the area. But yeah the Video of the creek was o.k. quality....but I know the Droid X can do better video!

Very good points actually.

Aaron's actually looked a lot better.

I have a nice fire work show one as well but I am at my lake house with no wifi, so can't upload to youtube until tomorrow.

Fire Works:

YouTube - Test

Set for normal Mic, not outdoor (which gets rid of the wind noise) I have another video I can upload that shows that the "Outdoor" scene works really well for getting rid of the wind noise.

Awesome videos, Aaron

I heard there is a image stabilizing scene is that true

Actually, you held it pretty steady, albeit sideways.

It helped me in that it shows the difference in videos taken on the DX and those from the Galaxy 6. I haven't observed any video freezes on those from the DX, whereas every video I've seen from a Galaxy has shown fairly frequent, and really annoying video (but not audio) freezes of a second or two each. It was one of the key factors that helped made my decision to go with the DX, despite mostly better specs on the Galaxy.

Yes for the camera not the video recorder.

Yes this is one of my big complaints, it doesn't auto rotate the picture dependent on how you are holding it while recording. Same with pictures. Sometimes horizontal is not the best way to video record or snap a picture and the phones sensor should pick that up when I am filming or taking a picture. At the current moment it doesn't....
