That would be my point - fragmentation. It always makes me laugh when people talk about Android being "cleaner" than iOS....

I have never personally heard anyone say anything about android being "cleaner".

This is what astounds me why should the fragmentation bother you? What could possibly bother you about it? Why is it such a personal issue for people?

I have my Galaxy S3 on ICS the way it came out the box (with a couple of firmware updates) and it works fine and just like I expect it to (minus a couple of glitches). In a month or so I will have Jelly Bean - Do I seriously need Jelly Bean right this very minute? What is the rush?



Irrelevant..

No its not, it shows Apple using a feature that it clearly has taken a shine too from other OS's but no one else will care that they have borrowed the way it works from Android.

I have had panoramic picture capabilities on many cameras and old Sony Ericsson Cybershot mobile phones and none of them work the way it does on Android but those screenshots of iOS doing a panoramic picture it seems to operate exactly like my Galaxy S3.


Anyway I wonder if this will be on the iPad 3, will give me a chance to test it.
 
I can tell you one thing. A good photographer can take a "real" picture with just about *any* camera with even a decent-quality lens and sensor, so long as the lighting is adequate for the purpose. (And even most 'poor' quality camera phones these days fill that requirement.)
"The best camera is the one that's with you." It's a great quote and it's very true. A "real" photographer could take an amazing photograph with ANY camera.
You're forgetting the first rule of a photographer. A real/good photographer can make the most amazing photo out of nearly any camera. Any schmuck can spend $3,000 on a body and thousands on a lens, buy lightroom or Aperture, and still take horrid pictures, I know several who do just that.

I'm not forgetting anything, I'm simply saying that a professional photographer would never use a phone for professional photography.

Of course you can take great pictures with the iPhone at the right place and the right time, but the quality of a phone's camera is many times inferior from the quality of a DSLR and thus it cannot be used for "real" pictures (i.e. professional photos).
 
Apple will now patent this feature and go on and on about how its been stolen from the future by other devices.

And you'll go on and on being a great source of entertainment for everyone on this forum, as you desperately attempt to convince yourself your Galaxy SIII was a good purchase. :cool:

Not at all, it was merely a joke, I will be waiting patiently to see what the iPhone 5 brings to the table and if I want it I will be selling up my Galaxy S3 for it.

The only entertainment is seeing responses like yours as you obviously think you can psychologically work someone out by reading a post on the internets.

Liking your own comments, smooth move :cool:

Nice to see I'm living rent free, right in your pre-frontal lobe ;)
 
A good photographer will tell you that the best camera is the one you have with you when you need it. When I expect to be taking pictures, I take my DSLR with me. When I *don't* expect to, but end up wanting to, I'm glad I've got a camera as nice as the one on my iPhone 4s.

Me too! And I love Hisptamatic..............

Friends with supposedly better cameras on their phones are forever sending me pcitures that are frankly crap quality compared to iPhone pics. Whilst it may be their settings they are never great resolution.

Am happy for any improvements in camera functionality since I tend to use my iPhone more for taking photos than making/taking calls!

Actually if you look now it has +2, that would be me liking my comment.


See there you go again with your super psychological internet brain of yours :cool:
 
I'm sure that if you enjoy photography you don't use your iPhone to take "real" pictures?

But I know what you mean - it's nice to have a phone that takes nicer pictures while you don't have your DSLR.

I do sometimes. It's the photographer in most instances, not the camera that matters, so I never hesitate to use my phone to take a shot. Phone camera better than no camera when I'm not lugging around my DSLR.
 
Nice pics! (Even with those body-less feet!)

You just took those using the Photosynth app, standing and rotating around to fill in the bubble?

Is there a best practice for doing that? I find that doing a sweep captures the middle, then I have to go again to capture the bottom part, and then again for the upper (sky) part.

Thanks! Yup, just with the app.

I don't keep my body in the same position , I keep the camera in the same spot and walk around it. As if it were on a tripod, I guess. It really makes the edges line up better.

I usually start with the busy part, if stuff moves too much or changes brightness, it doesn't match well.

Whatever helps you through the day, Barry ;)
I take it you could only be bothered creating a few dummy accounts :D
 
You are one sad sad individual, how many more accusations can you make towards someone?

lol, still living rent free right in there :D
Keep it up, Pavlov ;)

Edit: I up-voted your comment, btw

I am going to be pissed when I find out in 14 hours that this feature won't come to my 4S and I will be jailbreaking me phone as soon as it is out!

You were saying?

Well, then, you're wrong. [Here's one example, offered as proof.]

Of course you can take great pictures with the iPhone at the right place and the right time, but the quality of a phone's camera is many times inferior from the quality of a DSLR and thus it cannot be used for "real" pictures (i.e. professional photos).

And the quality of a DLSR from 8 years ago is many times inferior to the quality of the iPhone 4S, but *they* could be used for 'real' pictures. You're using a circular definition, where 'real' pictures are taken with a 'real' camera, and a 'real' camera is one that takes 'real' pictures. If (as seen above), people can't tell the difference between the results a pro gets with the iPhone 3Gs, and the results the same pro gets with is top-quality DSLRs, there's absolutely no rationale to claim that a picture taken with a phone can't be a 'real' picture.
 
That' just a one off stunt clearly made for publicity.

But you said (emphasis added):
...a professional photographer would never use a phone for professional photography.

I posted one example, found in the course of a 30-second web search, proving that statement false. (It's not the only one out there, either.) And that was with the camera in the 3GS, which was widely considered 'weak' for smartphone cameras when it was released.

So you're trying to tell me that the Canon EOS 5D is worse than the iPhone 4S?

No, I'm not claiming that the camera in the iPhone 4s is better than a $2,500+ DSLR. But it is better than many DSLRs in the $500 range that were released in the same time period as that Canon EOS 5D.

(I'm noticing that you seem to have a penchant for hyperbole and speaking/hearing in absolutes. I'll try to remember that for the future.)
