New Nokia N8 720p HD Video Sample

I've been toying around with the video a little bit.  I'm surprised by how smooth it is.  From videos of many of the other 720p capable phones, one big issue always seemed to be jumpiness as you panned.  With the N8, it's smooth as butter.  Now there is a noticeable amount of blur with high motion, but at the framerate, that's unavoidable.  I'm very glad to see how smooth the motion is though at 720p, very impressed.  I really do like how quickly the phone reacts to lighting conditions too.  These phones have come a long way from the several second changes of the previous generations.

I wouldn't mind seeing frame rate options at lower settings though.  For example half a year back looking at phones like the Omnia HD and others, they offered the 24fps 720p, but also offered higher frame rate options at lower settings.  By the time you got to VGA quality, you could do 120fps which allowed for conversion to some cool slow motion videos.  While the N8 doesn't offer that functionality right now, it'd be cool to see in the future.  I know it's something I treated as an added bonus if the phone could do it, and I know others do view it as the same.  More functionality is always liked.
