People who shoot photos with their lens hood on backwards

By this definition, the greatest camera of all time is the iPad.
Oh yes the iPad is a great camera. I was trying to take some photographs the other day and someone else was holding up a great big iPad occupying a lot of space. "Great" I thought.
 
I really don't think I can bothered with this thread any longer.

The points I have put forward:

a) DSLRs are better all round cameras than camera phones are

b) DSLRs have a lot of features and capabilites that are not available on phones, of which I gave list

c) DSLRs have the best image quality

What I got back was a bunch of people trying to argue that a phone can do everything a DSLR can, that image quality "doesn't matter", replying to every point I make with "you moved the goalposts", and then posting a bunch pictures that were mostly nothing like type of images I said a DSLR can produce, and then patting themselves on the back and congratulating themselves over it because they think they got one over on me!

And then there was the pooh poohing of the views, and a show of disrespect, of couple of very experienced photographers with excellent credentials earlier in the thread just because you didn't agree with them. And I'm supposed to take notice of people here just because they claim to be "experienced" (what are your credentials exactly), and who are trying to argue something that goes against something most experienced photographers believe to be true?

I'm out.
 
What can one say about photographic quality when the image has been made for all intents and purposes, by a computer?

Are these quality photos?

You seem to be confusing photographic realism and photographic quality with this post.

Whether the camera lies is a whole different bunfight!
 
Bye bye Bungle. As you haven't been banned to my surprise, you will be able to lurk on these boards without giving away your presence. If you do so please take the opportunity to read slowly and carefully through this thread from the very beginning checking carefully what everyone and more especially editor really did say about the lumia camera phone and what claims were made for it.
 
Having just read the OP and first page, I'd also like to add that lens hoods can block the throw of a flash, causing dark areas at the bottom of images.
 
Produce ONE QUOTE from any one of this "bunch of people" making such a claim, please. Thanks.
Go and read your own posts. It's what you've been arguing with me about for the past 28 pages. I say "DSLRs can do X", you say "Phone cameras can do X too".

Oh, and thanks for that one, I missed out Ed trying to make out he hasn't been arguing something he very well has been arguing.

That is all.

A QUOTE please Bungle73.

Otherwise it starts to look like you're lying, and you've already said how much you dislike that.

I know exactly what I've posted, but you claimed that there's been "a bunch of people trying to argue that a phone can do everything a DSLR can."

I'm now asking you to name those people and to produce some quotes that back up your assertion. A simple enough request, you'd think.

Can you do that now?

Tell me what you were and the others were arguing in this thread? Can you do that now?

You don't think he is lying do you? I had it figured that he was just not reading and understanding what people had written. If he is lying then that makes him a troll, and you know what we do to trolls. Oh dear.

Come on. You've made a bold claim about what a "bunch of people" were supposedly saying, so why don't you toddle along and produce some quotes to back it up?

It is, sadly, starting to look that way :(

Can you provide a quote Bungle73? Or are you a liar?

Oh, so you can't. Because you know full well what you've been saying, as do I.

What would be the appropriate punishment for this thread about lens hoods?
 
Oh, so you can't. Because you know full well what you've been saying, as do I.
Yep, I know what I've been saying, but you've made claims about what a whole bunch of people hare have supposedly been saying here.

Are you going to FINALLY name these people and produce some quotes to back up your claims, or just keep on wriggling forever?:
 
Post #160 onwards.

Its funny, I ask Ed why he bought his camera and he doesn't seem to know; I also ask him what he's been saying in this thread, and he doesn't seem to know that either........
It is, sadly, starting to look that way :(

How ironic that was actually you that started this discussion off, with this litter gem:

I don't see the point in fancy cameras with optical lenses these days. My phone is 26 megapixels with a x30 zoom.
 
We have yet to get a conviction or confession for these sins. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. And while I am slaving at a hot keyboard well done Dr Herbz on the "toys out of the pram" image. :)


in general people _did_ expect the SPanish Inquisition. They gave about 2 months' notice.
 
How about this?
Those context-stripped quotes have no correlation to the claims you're making.

And you still haven't named the people making up this "bunch of people" who all supposedly think a phone can do everything a DSLR can. Can you name them now please?
