First Videos and Photos Uploaded from iPhone 3G S?
The first YouTube videos claimed to have been recorded by the iPhone 3G S have started to appear. The quality of the recording is, of course, also affected by YouTube's compression but should give a feel for what the device is capable of in casual usage:
A second video has also appeared from the same uploader though this video appears to have been edited with music and multiple clips cut together. The aspect ratio is also different, raising some questions about the actual source of the video.
Meanwhile, iFun.de also posts some comparison shots between the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G S cameras. The images depict the iPhone box in close-up, accentuating the improvement with the new iPhone's auto-focus camera. The example seems to show a particularly poor quality example of an iPhone 3G photo, but still shows a notable improvement in the 3G S image quality.

I'll definitely be waiting for you guys to post a better Youtube video. This isn't even an unboxing. haha. The "S" could be a sticker. Now what would be really cool is if some UPS guy filmed a pallet of iPhone 3G-Ss and said "Here they are!!!" :D

The blurriness in the first shot is clearly due to a smudged lens. Looks like someone dunked it in Vaseline first.

It may not be the best video camera in the world, but it seems to be > youtube quality, which makes it just fine for the masses.

i thought phil said the new boxes used 30% less material/space than the old ones. that looks identical to my 2g box - obviously withing the 3gs label
edit: looks like some countries get the larger, older box based on the size of the power adapter.

I kinda thought it looked particularly bad, but then I tried taking a photo with my iPhone 3G of a closeup box and it came out pretty blurred.

Where are you and why is YouTube blocked?
Anyway, the video looks great. Not HD, for sure, but for the size of YouTube in default screen size, it's pretty damn clear. I'm impressed.

But I thought we were completely unsure of weather it was a video OF the iPhone 3G S (box) or a video FROM the iPhone 3G S.
