Google Nexus S review: Video

The video camera on the Google Nexus S is something of a dissapointment - and not only because it cannot record in HD, unlike its Nexus One brother.

720 x 480 resolution isn't high enough in our opinion, but the framerate seems to be acceptable (apart from in the first shot) and the autofocus doesn't feel the need to constantly operate during the shot.

The monkey's eyes are what scare us the most though.
