video recording quality is downside on N900? Funny, as I always thought otherwise - at least, since using 720p video recording and after comparing it with many androcrap mobiles and tablets, bombing us with "awesome" Mp counts, coupled with crappy optics.

So, if we put aside pseudo-advices from lumniaandro-man, who couldn't stop himself from trolling off-topic comments about his pathetic new toys, (that aren't interesting for anyone here, anyway), it goes down to few points:
---

1. 720p video recording patches.

2. Writing video to *different* storage medium, than our swap-keeping one (it doesn't affect quality - rather, overall performance of device during recording).

3. Overclocking is *not* affecting video quality, save for slight DSP overclock, required for 720p video recording/playback.

4. Remember to adjust focus *during* (and before ) recording - the former, thanks to CSSU'ish camera-ui.

It's worth to note, that - while N900 optics is superior than 99% of cameras on market today (save for things like pureview) - it is still too small for "real" 5Mp *photographs*. Thankfully, video resolution of 720p video recording is much *below* our optics limitations, so it isn't affecting our video quality.

In addition to software tweaking, some hardware modifications can help, too:

1. Use tripod - it require either modified backcover with mount-point for tripods (I'm using it for ages and recommend it), or slightly over-priced and over-sized tripods for mobiles/tablets, used in iPhone/android world. No need to add, that the latter option is boring and less effective in practice (as everything in iSheep/googleoid world ), right?

Anyway, tripods make video recording *super* sharp.

2. Use hardware camera filters appropriate for light conditions, thanks to modified/custom backcover. This one can have great results, if you know anything about filters usage.
