What Does Everyone Shoot Their Video With?

Hey All,

Couldn't decide whether this should be here, Chit Chat or Videos, but here will do.

I've been mucking around trying to get some clips together for a hopeful video later on in the summer, and I've been using my iPhone 4 so far. Obviously this can record in 720p HD which is nice, but the lens is tiny and I have a feeling that it just doesn't have as good contrast handling.

I've got a tripod and made a makeshift steadicam, to try to get rid of some of the problems you get by holding a camera by the lens. Is it worth trying to bodge the contrast and stuff in the editing phase?

I guess I'm getting at the fact I can't really afford to buy anything new, but if it's going to make a massive difference for the sake of a couple of hundred quid then I could be convinced. So, what do you use? Does anyone already use the iPhone 4 and got a 'good' result? If you were then able to put a link to a vid you've filmed with that equipment too that'd be awesome.

I've been using a kodak playsport zx3 with a magnetic wide angle lens attachment. It does 60fps @ 720p, is waterproof and muck-proof (just stick in your pocket) and I got the camera, extra lens, extra battery and 16gb card for about £120. Lens people also do iphone ones.
