iPhone 2G/3G Video Recording Apps

Lately there has been alot of video recording apps released in the App Store that delivers for iPhone 2G & 3G owners that Apple neglected. Here’s a run down of them all against the incumbant Cycorder from Cydia creator Saurik.
Frames Per Second (maximum)
iVideoCamera - 3
Camcorder - N/A
iVidCam - 7
Cycorder - 15
Length
iVideoCamera - 1:00
Camcorder - long as space holds
iVidCam - long as space holds
Cycorder - long as space holds
Resolution
iVideoCamera - 160×213
Camcorder - 320×426
iVidCam - 360×280
Cycorder - 384×288
Price
iVideoCamera - $0.99
Camcorder - $0.99
iVidCam - $1.99
Cycorder - free
My thoughts are that iVideoCamera was 1st but now looks like the worst. Only 3 frames per second, for a minute & the smallest resolution makes it to me an easy avoid.
Camcorder was aright. Better than iVideoCamera but with no ability to transfer your videos anywhere doesn’t make it cut in my book.
iVidCam was the next to come. Out of the non-jailbroken available video recorders it has the best maximum FPS, matches Camcorder for video length but beats it for resolution.
Then of course there’s Cycorder, which is available only via jailbreaking. It has more than twice the maximum frames per second than any other video recording app available (only beaten by the 3GS’s 30 FPS), ties with Camcorder & iVidCam in terms of video length and beats them with resoution. To top it all off, its free.
So I think the choice is obvious, if you’ve jailbroken your iPhone 2G & 3G & already have Cycorder then there’s no need to get rid of it. If you don’t already have it, then get it. However if you aren’t tech savy enough to jailbreak an iPhone then I think you’d be happy with iVidCam.
