I don't get it when cameras say they take pictures in like 14 Mega pixels, but record video in 720p.

Yes, but it costs a lot to process images at 8mp 30 times a second, which is a resolution way more than most people can display.  Also, stepping it down to 1080i allows for a higher iso, which means images arent as dark

That means the camera is 4 times 1080p.

So the camera takes pictures at 1080p, which is like 1500+ width.
That's bigger than my monitor.

Now look at your monitor, now back to an iPhone.

Holy forget, there are probably retail cameras that aren't that good around.

The still camera is 8 Megapixels, which is pretty good for a phone.  1080p is about 2 megapixels, basically any point-and-shoot can beat that on stills, but there are a few that can shoot 1080p I believe.  I know a lot of DSLRs can.  

The thing is, the camera is an sensor are smaller than a thumbtack, which means you can't match the image quality of a full-frame DSLR.  But for being a pocket-sized phone, it's fantastic.

I would say I am a progressive Christian. 

If I were a deity and I knew I could create the universe in speck and have is expand out, why the hell not, instead if placing every single molecule.

Also, since there weren't any humans up until the end of the Creation Period, who's to say the days God uses are human days? Maybe one day is 30 million years; there aren't any humans count.

And I believe in microevolution, show me all the transitional forms required for macroevolution to work and I'll gladly believe it.

One last thing:
During the time before the Flood, it is speculated that the Earth's climate was vastly different.  Most of the water was in the atmosphere, making most of the planet tropical (great climate for dinosaurs!).  When it rained worldwide for 40 goddamn days, all that water was no longer in atmo, so the climate was changed, so whatever dinosaurs were left over were kinda screwed. 


Just what I personally believe, believe whatever you heart desires.

might go with this.
y/n

I've used one of those, it's a pretty good camera, I would save for something HD though.  My friend has a sony NEX VG10, and that this is amazing, and it also has a 35mm sensor, so everything looks more pretty, as opposed to a 1/3 inch sensor, like most broadcast-quality cameras, which is what you have posted thusfar.

The first video I admit was fake, but can someone prove these ones wrong for me?

There goes all your credibility. 

Hey, check this out

1. Plane only appears after it zooms in that last bit

2. Plane's nose shows up through the building

Guarantee you that you can't find any footage to disprove that one,

The only problem I see with that camera is that it's like 15 years old, it might not work as well as it used to.  The tape heads might be on the verge of dying, and there's better DV cameras out today you can get pretty cheap.

That's a DV camera, and you can only turn those tapes at a certain speed, so no slow-mo )or HD).  Some cameras can record like 5 seconds of slow-mo to onboard memory and write it to the tape after, but you can't get sound with that, and it's usually hard to get good color at those shutter speeds.
