Video
Movie Mode (9.75)
The iPhone 3G S records video at standard definition (640x480) at 30fps, using the h.264 codec. As with still photography, there's almost no control over the video mode. You can tap on an area to focus there, easily trim files down, and upload them to YouTube.

 You can just drag over an area of a timeline to crop it down to that area |
Video Color (8.47)
The iPhone 3G S's color was pretty good in video mode. It had a color error of 4.72, and oversaturated the color by 110%. This is quite accurate, as you can see in the chart below. The bars represent color error, so shorter is better. There are no scores for the other two iPhones, as neither can record video.

Video Sharpness (1.79)
In terms of video sharpness, we were able to see fine detail down to 500 line widths per picture height horizontally, and 375 vertically. For standard definition video, that isn't bad, though it struggles when compared to the Sony T900, which records in HD. There are no bars below for the other two iPhones, as neither can record video.
