The video embedded above is one of the first video recordings I made using the Motorola Droid this past weekend. The video file was uploaded unaltered directly from the Droid to YouTube over a WiFi connection (it doesn't allow uploading large files over 3G). The video looks reasonably good to me although I notice quite a bit of aliasing (jaggedness) in edges like the horizon and water's edge. The video also seems to be quite jerky. On the positive side, color saturation looks excellent. And, I don't see the "rubberband" effect seen in videos recorded on the iPhone 3GS and other smartphones.

I was surprised that the Droid saves video in a 3GP video file type. I didn't see any option to store video in some other format like MP4 or AVI.

I recorded video using the HTC Touch Pro2 at the same time I tested the Droid. Unfortunately, I had it set to the wrong mode (lower resolution H.264 3GP mode). So, it would be an unfair comparison. However, I plan on recording video comparisons using various mobile devices in the near future.
