The 5800 captures at 640×360 pixels while a Nokia N96 captures at 640×480. With iMovie, you can easily exchange between the two sizes. This is more important to know especially since Youtube changed their pages to be more widescreen friendly.

Having just acquired a Nokia E71, I thought, “Surely I can use my smartphone to take all my notes in class instead of a computer.”
