N93 sample DVD-quality clip?

This S60 Blog page has some sample video footage taken on the Nokia N93 (warning: Quicktime, broadband and patience required!). Great clarity, though I'm not convinced about the claimed 30 frames per second yet - maybe they've not optimised the code yet?

Read on in the full article.

The sample has been dropped to 25fps (PAL) in editing phase. I have some of the originals right here, showing exactly at 30fps. So N93 captures at 30fps, but 25fps might be better because that's what we have in TV sets in Europe.

so now a mobile phone can capture images faster than what our tv's can display them?i ahve 1 word for that

BTW, the already available Nokia 6280 has same specs regarding video capture: 30fps @ VGA. It's lacking in real camera mechanics, optical zoom and video stabilization though.

The thing is that the editing is so incredibly 'bitty' that it's hard to tell which jerkiness is due to editing and which is due to non-optimised hardware/software. What we need is a decent slow pan around a a scene, or with moving subjects, with a scene of more than half a second!!

No it doesn't. The 6280 can only record video at a maximum of 15fps in VGA, for CIF it is 30fps. Huge difference.
