I doubt it.  The limitation isn't likely the sensor, or the 650 would
be able to capture VGA video. My hunch is that the bottleneck is
either the processor or writing to memory (although flash has to be
faster than to the SD card, so my money is on the CPU not being able
to compress and write the video stream data fast enough for higher
resolution or framerate).

1.3MP (1280x1024) is more than double the 0.3MP (640x480) of the 650's
sensor; a little more than 4X, actually.

But it's probably not a space limitation. Given that the 700's CPU is
the same speed as the 650, I doubt it will have the added grunt needed
to do higher-quality video.  Too bad...a boy can dream.
