Depends on what you want. I can't offhand think of a real use for it as
a
video camera; most cell phones are barely adequate to take cheesy still
shots anyway. If I want to shoot video, I want a camera that actually
is
set up to BE a camera, which no phone really is.

I don't think that is the intent. It is more for recording the damage in
a
fender bender as evidence for the insurance company or small claims
court, or catching a celebrity behaving badly that you can sell to a
tabloid TV show.

Exactly. Recording your major items in your house for insurance,
or taking photos on impulse on location.

That's something the iPhone can do, though.

Harder to edit video than photos.

I fail to see your point. When I take or have two pictures from
slightly different angles, it's not impossible to fake them so they
match, but it's expensive work.

Even a single photograph is actually hard to fake. Especially those of
small devices which produce a lot of noise, where you have to create
the same kind of noise in your edits.
