For me, the interesting questions about the OmniaHDs video are:
- what is the bit-rate of the 720p mode?
- what is the resolution and frame-rate of the slow-motion mode?

mate you really need your eyes testing, seriously comparing this to the iphone camera? as "a ham sandwich" said we need to see the video and images in their original forms, compressed versions are pointless for looking at the actual quality]]>Feb 17th 2009 8:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/samsung-omniahds-camera-put-to-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/samsung-omniahds-camera-put-to-the-test/Feb 17th 2009 10:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/samsung-omniahds-camera-put-to-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/samsung-omniahds-camera-put-to-the-test/Feb 17th 2009 8:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/samsung-omniahds-camera-put-to-the-test/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/17/samsung-omniahds-camera-put-to-the-test/

Is the first vid's audio kinda funky for anyone?
