Camera Phone Pics

[BlackSnake]

I retired my old cell phone and got this $250 camera phone. It take some really cool pics.

What's on your camera phone?

 

[logophile]

Be careful with that thing...
I know a guy who works for Sprint and he confided in me that when someone brings in a camera phone for service, everyone in the store peeks at the stored photos on the phone.

Just a heads-up/FYI/FWIW, etc...

Got phones; got cameras...

I have telephones. Landlines and a mobile phone that looks like a brick. It has buttons large enough for my ancient fingers and I can see them without my glasses.

I have cameras. Several. Most have a battery to power the light meter but still work even if the battery is flat. They are SLRs with mechanical shutters.

I lent one of my cameras to a daughter who went on an extended safari in Africa. It had a zoom lens. Her friends laughed at it. After 3 weeks up-country she had the last laugh. All their battery powered cameras had flat batteries. She just kept on shooting. A lion cub came to close and tried to claw her. She hit it with the zoom lens and it stopped clawing. The lion cub was startled, not hurt. The zoom lens was undamaged. One of her friends dropped her auto-focus zoom lens about a foot from the ground and it stopped working.

My cameras are Russian Zeniths. Old, clunky, heavy - they work and keep on working. I have a Photosniper mounted on a rifle stock with what looks like a Colt .45 1911A1 underneath. It is a frightening piece of equipment that looks like a raygun from a 1960s low budget Sci-Fi TV series. It takes great pictures.

Why do I need a camera phone?

Because the girl in the pink there is a babe. Black Snake captured her, whereas pointing a Buck Rogers gun at her might have had a different effect.

I'm with you entirely on the 'phone, Og. Lousy 'phones, as 'phones, some of these devices, and they broadcast every word. It's a good thing they have dozens of other functions. No one would get them to be heard speaking, reliably, so they need to do something. I like wired-in phones. I can hear. But I've been a fogey now for twenty-five years. A young fogey and now an older one.

I've got a camera phone. I've had it for almost a year now. It's a 3G phone and I already wanna upgrade it. The screen's good on it, though, and I can capture video and sound for ten second chunks at a time. The pics are pretty good quality, too.

But, if you think I'm gonna post any of it on a public site, you've got another thing coming!!!

Lou, since you're so hip, explain to a cybernought what happens if I'm making a video when someone wants to call me?

Do I answer them on the Digital Camera or the Blackberry?

I love those old cameras. However, I have a camera phone and love it. The reason why you need one is that it's always with you. You can't take a picture without a camera.

I'm still constantly amazed at the quality of the pictures I can take with my manual and a 50mm prime lens. With black and white film and good development it blows any other camera away.

My primary camera is a digital because I don't want to be one of those old sumbitches who keep on about how their old analog records beat cd's.

 

[cantdog]

They only beat CDs the very first time they're played, before the scratching begins.

Old cameras, though, work.

My 78rpm records work too. All I do is hold them under a cold running tap, gently brush around the grooves with a new paintbrush, shake off the excess water and play on my 1970s turntable which has scratch filters (and a waterproof rubber mat!). The records sound great even after 100 years.

Sweetheart, are we talking about you or the platters?

Don't know about me. After a few thousand years I sound awful. Listen to the recording of the Yorkshire get-together's 'On Ilkley Moor'.

I bought 5 new-to-me 78rpm records today at ten pence each. I'll play them tomorrow.
