Indeed, the Flip style camcorders, including this Sony, all perform better than any camcorder function in a cell phone. It offers a higher resolution, more capability, and ease of use over an iPhone. But to address some other comments, I need to remind prospective users that specs are one thing and actual performance is another. While this and other small camcorders may record 1080p, this doesn't mean it will create an image equal to more capable recorders. In reality, a 720p consumer handheld will show better. A professional SD camera at 480i will outperform it. When buying such a recorder, you are buying convenience, small form factor, and ease-of-use. You get a competent little camera with a surprisingly good image. But don't fool yourself into believing you are getting what a more higher-grade camera such as a Sony CX-550 can deliver. And certainly, you aren't shooting with a pro grade camera despite its 1080p designation.
