Our Awesome X10 Camera

[nb_mitch]

Sorry, my picture didn't come out so clear, it seems a little grainy to me, but it is dark and you might be able to tell the grass is green No white stuff, unless I go to the beach

Loving the pics and vid MrWomble. Yours are a little blue tinged, mine were grey-ish yesterday. But I think the quality on both cameras is pretty good tho. Mrs Womble is great, love your comments. I honestly thought you were going to get a snowball in the mush (UK slang for face for our international viewers!!)

We had another 6" overnight with more due today. Bah humbug I hate the snow!

Ok show off make me feel even colder! Not bad for a night time pic tho as the camera isn't the best in the dark. I shall now go and have another hot cup of tea and sulk!

lol not a chance, she can't throw too good - as evidence allows - though she did try defending herself that she didn't want to hit my phone lol

am heading out again as soon as the current blizzard stops to try again, hopefully not with blue tinge this time

will see soon

**EDIT**

well i managed to survive - even though a damn snowstorm started as i was halfway round -but what do you expect for a city centre park lol pictures below

Much better than yesterday and love the use of oblique angle of the light to highlight the textures in the snow. I think I will give my lens a good clean and leave the camera to it.

WoW. I gave this camera 360 app a try.

First pic is stock app with single auto focus and 8MP 4:3 format.

2nd pic is using Camera 360

 

[MrWomble]

erm, what, sorry

i guess that means they are good ??

 

[MrWomble]

oh and i tried the old cam 360

very good - but what an arse on to get it to save etc etc - a camera is supposed to be point and shoot - took me 4 shots just to get it to save properly

 

[rosered]

erm, what, sorry

i guess that means they are good ??

Are you referring to my comments?! Yes I meant they were good. Low angle of light gives more definition, very easy to look flat and boring in the snow. Don't know if it was on purpose or purely accidental, but they look good. Wanted to see Mme Cholet get you in the face this time tho

 

[MrWomble]

no it was on purpose, wanted to see how well the lens would react to direct sunlight, came out rather well

luckily for me Mme Cholet is still at work, finishes @ 10 tonight so no doubt some snowball madness then

 

[spikeithard]

just Dl'ed cam 360. whats the best setttings to have it on for general overall best picture? like size 640x480? the little handshake symbol crossed out? delay exposure off? etc
thanks

 

[Wisenos]

i like mrsWomble, she's kinda cute

 

[MrWomble]

i like mrsWomble, she's kinda cute

yeah - and blonde

which leaves her open to SOOOOOO many jokes

 

[spikeithard]

no answer for my questions? please
.
dont worry. i deleted it

 

[gunny5821]

WOW, that Snow looks just awesome! I love the snow and the more the better, unfortunately, where I now reside, we are lucky if we get 3 snow days all winter ;~(

Maybe I need to relocate, is the area expensive? What would a general 2 bedroom home or apt cost per month? I have been thinking of moving and maybe it is time to take the leap... Heck no reason not to if the cost of living is not too high.

 

[rosered]

You don't want to come to the bit of the South East that I inhabit, commuter belt for London and house prices/renting very high. Bro-in-law (soon to be ex) rents one bedroom tiny appartment in not the best part of town, furnished with bills inc and thats

Just so your don't feel so left out, these pictures were taken tonight in downtown Celebration, Florida, snow, ice rink, etc. All the things you have in the UK

I have downloaded Camera 360, it says my device can't zoom, but the standard camera zooms fine, is this a 1.6 OS issue? Both cameras spftware or maybe it is hardware (???) seem hard to use. I get the "press half way for auto focus" part, I see the green light or the square turn green, but I am struggling with getting a photo to "take". I feel like I am pushing the button so hard it is never coming back up, but nothing is happening.

These pictures (which I had to downsize to attach) are maybe 20% of what I tried to take and failed. Maybe it is the night-time thing, but I am use to a real camera or even my Blackberry was much easier.

Any advice would be appreciated.





Ok, so what if it is all fake, I mean Disney Magic

Personally, I found the camera button a bit awkward to use. I always ended up with blurry pictures, caused by me half-shuttering, then pressing harder, (moving the phone,) and taking a picture.

Once I enabled the "Touch Capture", I stopped getting blurry pictures. (You just tap the screen and it will auto-focus and snap)

I have yet to try 360, although I'm impressed with the results, so I may have to give it a try today.

 

[Eddie_Brock]

I've installed Camera 360 and played with it a bit. I am impressed with the results and amount of options over the stock app. However it is unable to zoom, stating the Camera does not support it. Without this feature I won't be using it too much.
Is there a fix for this, or do we have to wait for an update?

Next I will try Vignette and see how it rates.

Regardless, Camera 360 is a good app with plenty of options available. Pictures seemed to come out more vibrant and clear over the stock app.

 

[gunny5821]

OK, I'll bite, So what is the BEST camera app to use on the x10 with 1.6 (YES, AT&T still has done nothing, lol)... The stock app just doesn't seem capable enough...

 

[mr_esmit]

Can't get zoom or flash to work. Says it's not supported. Could it be because I'm on android 2.1???

those snow pics at the top of this thread is NOTHING compared to what were getting here now in london ontario canada! we have almost 3 feet and counting.. supposed to be getting snowsquals for the next 3 days !!!! just finished shovelling and it took an hour and it broke the shovel. ill take a pic soon and try and post

The trouble is Spike, Canada is used to the snow and I think probably copes with it better than the Brits. We might (fingers crossed!) go the rest of the winter without any more snow. Some winters we have the odd week here and there, some we don't. No-one knows how to drive in it, the trains and public transport all stop and the world generally goes mad. Stay warm matey and looking forward to some pics to put us to shame

 

[spikeithard]

this city is in a standstill now. just shovelled the drive way and had to shovel about 6 inches haha. and i just shoveled it an hour ago! gona take a pic now to show you all!
