It’s amazing how many times you see something you want to photograph but don’t have your ‘real’ camera with you.

Camera phones are steadily improving and although my iPhone 3GS is lacking compared to dedicated cameras, I wouldn’t have captured 90% of the moments I’ve captured with it.

The new iphone 4 is due out at the end of the month and you can rest assured the improved camera specifications, for me, will be worth the upgrade alone. Even if I capture one never to be repeated moment with it’s much better quality, I’ll deem it a worthwhile investment.

After receiving my iPhone 3GS I was interested in how it compared with my iPhone 3G. One of the areas I was curious about was video recording. As you may be aware, the iPhone 3G is not shipped with this ability but you can install a program called Cycorder which is available to jailbroken iPhones.

The other option is to install an application from the App Store like Qik or Ustream Broadcaster but they don’t perform as well as Cycorder.

Here are two videos I shot at the same time with both iPhones side by side.

Let me know what you think?

First iPhone 3G

Then iPhone 3GS
