Although the resolution is higher on the iPhone, no phone is ever going to replace a dedicated camcorder. So, if quality is paramount, I would start looking at HD camcorders instead.
Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!

I will be purchasing the new Iphone 4. What I would like to know is what will be better to use for video, the iphone 4 or my old sony. I do not want to purchase another dedicated camcorder.

CWA107 answered the OP perfectly...iPhone4 has video capability...but it should not replace a dedicated device that's use is it's primary function...

if that is what u are doing then I would say get a dedicated device. What happens if u want 2 be recording one of your kids games or bday parties. Do u really want 2 do that with your cell phone. Killing the battery, plus u can directy connect it 2 the tv and watch it that way, then transferring it 2 edit is simple. (I'm not sure of the steps to do that with the iphone.) But I do professional Videographer work. So I guess I could be considered a little bias.

Not to mention that the iPhone does not have an optical zoom (digital zoom is useless).

For my personal, camcorder will be more professional than iPhone in video editing, maybe.
