HelperElfMissy 42 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 We had done the same Tex - utter shite. Gave up and went to Apple... The iMacs are BEAST at that stuff. Very impressive. We did get the best available at the time - a few months back now - and the screen (in built computer in the screen) is massive, but it really does the job. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 What sort of cost does one of those beasts go for Mamabear? Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I actually don't know GG... Papa just came home with it one day. He had got mighty pee-ed off with the PC not doing what he wanted, so he just DID it. Asking him how much stuff costs will just get you an elusive "ahhh..too bloody much..." But I get to do the same with the camera when he gets it next Sunday for Fathers Day Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Why not? Hmmmmm that might be because the race Papa was in Adelaide for (50k to the winner) we didn't place in. DANG! Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Thanks Tex. Yeah.. I am not a full bottle on DSLRs by any stretch and this is our first foray into owning and using one, but the time has come to learn. We have got some amazing photo's of the boys out of the video footage from the video camera we bought just prior to Christmas - mainly playing rugby, but the quality of the image is not enough to do more than a standard sized print from it. So we are keen now to be able to record the action shots in much higher quality to allow us more flexibility. Will be a learn as you go process and I am sure we are going to take a fair whack of very crap photo's to begin with But this is the iPhone and alternatives thread... ON THAT TOPIC ... my phone still rocks Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 the camera on the I4 is only 5meg, that is only a basic 4R print. Video is 720p. Glad it's a phone and not a camera. Link to post Share on other sites

Glad it's a phone and not a camera. Same on the Galaxy S. 5/720 Omission is a flash. And need to acces via app on touchscreen rather than external button. But handy if you want to take a snap and don't have a real camera on you. Link to post Share on other sites
