ME: Yeah so I'm being pursued by the Relentless Eviscerator now
BARELY AUDIBLE IN THE DISTANCE: I'm gonna eviscerate ya!
Is this a fair comparison? about settings for pictures in this post
iPhone pix: HDR mode off. In some cases I used digital zoom and exposure compensation to try to get the same perspective and base exposure as with the camera.TG-7 pix: Default "Natural" image tuning preset with sharpness and contrast turned up 1 (one) notch. Auto white balance with no fine tuning. Frame average metering. I used optical zoom and some exposure compensation.
I think TG-7 optical zoom vs iPhone digital zoom is a fair comparison bc part of my point here is I don't care as much about sharpness as exposure and color - and digital zoom is the option the phone presents you with... AND the tg-7 gets softer when you zoom in anyway. So I think it's fair.
Why would you carry something like that when your phone is so good now?
The iPhone is an incredible camera which feels like what everyone in the world is using, which is cool I guess, but I'm literally no longer excited about or interested in tools like this anymore - from both physical hardware design and software behavior perspectives
Phones are usually thin and flat because of a vestigial need to fit into small pockets that they're all too big for now anyway. Mine's small but you can't get that anymore. It might be waterproof but I'm more afraid of dropping it than ever before because it's slippery and mostly glass and I use it for everything in my life. All my friends are in there.
But above all of this... As a camera, the iPhone just refuses to take pictures that feel like how I see the world, because of the way it's trying to capture perfect detail and normalized, realistic color in all situations.
I didn't until now but now it's the only thing I can think about
i was going to go to bed half an hour ago and then i tried this
