I had the opportunity to thoroughly test drive the video capabilities of my new iPhone 3GS this last sunday. I was at my son’s marching band practice and I did several short recordings. As the morning practice progressed the band came to a point where they did the entire routine (11mins and 30secs long). I was able to record this with no issues or hitches.

My shorter videos that I recorded earlier were able to upload just fine and the longer ones uploaded as well, they just took longer. I immediately took the videos down as I found out that the band did not want any of these up for outsiders to view.

Long story short, my iPhone performed outstandingly. I was very impressed that it could do such long recordings and the uploads for videos was a little slow, but that is a lot of data.
