Always get something because you see it beneficial to your day-to-day life. Never base your purchases on what others perceive it to be or how much it is priced at.

My 16GB 3G is constantly running out of space, my scaling back/juggling on the things I can put into it has come to being ridiculous already. The video recording capability would supplement my work trips and excursions, especially for trips to NY and the likes. I'd be more inclined to whip out my iPhone and record than a camcorder and immediately identify myself as a tourist.
