what a ridiculous iphone ad! nicely chosen boring scenes not to see the canon's advantage, eg in. DOF

the iphone video looks a little bit washed-out. then again, it looks great considering the price difference. of course it would have been great if there were low-light shots and a lot of fast moving objects on the video … that is going to really test a lower priced video device … since on your video, everything looks like they were in slow-motion under good-lighting conditions

In the small Vimeo player version, the iPhone actually seems better in many shots.
But when you go to the page and watch it in HD and full screen, then the 7D's superiority is evident.
But as mentioned, getting this level of video off a cellphone is still awesome.
(I found it's easier to make the comparison with the sound muted.)

exactly, while the iphone looks great for a phone cam video blah blah it still misses the DoF of the higher end camera and looks flat. still nice for what it is.

Almost any 3mp modern camera can do HD video, the resolution of 720 or 1080 hd is small compared to most sensors' capability. There are differences in the compression applied by the camera saving the video but most obviously the fact that the camera phones (the iPhone is not the only one to do HD video) use tiny sensors and relatively crappy lenses.

Obviously the 7d (or any other video-enabled DSLR) is going to offer a lot more in terms of picture quality, DoF control, dynamic range, etc, but the fact that you can have this tiny device in your pocket that shoots HD video is pretty astounding, not to mention all the other things a smartphone can do.

I'd like to see a comparison between the iphone along with the Android phones that do HD video.
