Asha 302 Image/Video Samples

I was pleasantly surprised by the average quality of the Asha 302s video, considering it's a super cheap Feature/Dumb phone- the ability to shoot somewhat decent 480p videos is considered as a win by me- here's the sample:

N9 Vs Lumia Bitrate & Video

 

So I took the N9 & the Lumia 800 out filming today for an upcoming camera quality test and boy was I shocked! the N9s film quality was abysmal at best; there were dropped frames, pixelation and the voice recording was low (although better quality than the 800s). The reason behind this is that the N9 records video at almost half the bitrate that the Lumia does- which means it gets $hitty performance. 

 

As you can see the Lumia records much higher video bitrate but lower audio bit rate.

Random Thoughts on Youtube- Upload Problems

Just a random thought on the way Youtube deals with uploaded videos- Youtube has this active resume sort of thing where supposedly it helps resume your video upload if perhaps your Computer crashes or your internet gets cut; rather then starting all over again simply choose the file again and it'll pick up where it left off. Except it's not really that smart- I've been trying to upload the same video for over two days; each time once the upload FINALLY finishes (and I think it's time for a cookie break) it gives me a video deleted by user error, the reason behind this? 2 days ago minutes after I started upload attempt #1 I quickly cancelled the video because I had forgotten to edit something out; the result? Youtube thinks that the same video is being uploaded by the active resume garbage and I end up with super slow internet all weekend, no videos and no cookies.
