Apple Thoughts: Complete Technical Demo of iPhone 3GS Video Capabilities

"The iPhone 3GS feature that I was most excited about was video. The very first thing I did when I got my phone was shoot Technologic Overkill, so I could put the video camera through it's paces. In the process I discovered quite a few useful bits information about how the video works."

The guys at The Automatic Filmmaker make the point I've been making since the 3GS announcement: it isn't necessarily that the iPhone 3GS has the best camera ever or that it's the first, it's that it's one you'll have with you, making it, by default, the most useful. The video above is a good demo, but the true meat and potatoes of the demonstration are in the article itself with lots of explanations for each section.

All in all a very good article and worth a read if you're interested in video on the iPhone.
