The 4S camera is pretty damn good in my opinion. I'm not a camera expert, but the pictures look as good as any I've ever taken with a camera on a phone.

totally agree. with several of my friends posting photos to fb from their 4s's constantly, they really are some of the best real world pictures i have seen come from a phone
 
Well I'm going to be offline, decorating the Christmas tree with the kiddies.

Someone PM me if we get any Nexus news. I won't hold my breath on a Fri night at almost 9 though.

Semi On Topic

I wish the nfc technology was more widespread. I was just naughty and did some shopping for me and it would have been nice to be able to just pay with my phone rather than have to bring my purse in and juggle that with the clothes.

Please release the Nexus from captivity Verizon. Do you want ransom? Cookies? Love? Coffee? What?? Let us know, we'll make it happen.
 
in an attempt to get on topic with a post, what is everyones preferred app for video calling over 3g/4g? i have a 5 month old and think it would be cool to video chat with my wife on her dinc2 time to time to check in on him/them as i often work away for a few days at a time

I just found out from a coworker that the character of "Saul" is played by the same guy that played Inigo Montoya in the Princess Bride! I knew he looked familiar!

On topic:

May I have a Nexus, please?

His name is Mandy (Mandel) Patinkin. Very accomplished stage and screen actor and AMAZING tenor. I love his singing in the original Broadway musical "The Secret Garden". He also played lead characters on Criminal Minds and Chicago Hope.

Edited to add link. Steven58 may want to weigh in.

Here is an old video of Mandy Pantinkin singing a duet in The Secret Garden. The duet is towards the middle of the clip. He has an amazing voice IMO. Steven?

Haha, not quite. But seriously, corporate stores are supposed to honor the discount unless it is an online only discount. Loyalty or enterprise discounts should show up in store always.

I love the majority of interactions I have with vzw CSRs. Just release the (phone!) cracked.

Ok, I can give you my rational as to what I see.

As you can see, the Rezound looks blue. Look at the whites. As someone mentioned, assuming there is some kind of WB adjustment, this should be able to be remedied.

Look at the GalaxySII. The red brick colors, the other buildings all look pretty natural. It starts to get washed the closer you get to the sky around the building in the distance. This isnt bad, but everything is a little washed. The sky is starting to intrude. Again, this can be fixed with compensation or exposure adjustments.

The Nexus pic is really overexposed and washed out. The brightness from the sky is overwhelming the building in the distance and all other surfaces and textures are too light and washed out. Again, can be adjusted out.

The apple pic seems "dark" to some of you. Actually it is pretty good. Note the building in the distance is not overwhelmed by the sky, the darker areas and foreground colors are pretty true, details in the darker areas are pretty clear, etc.

It obvious that it is either early or late in the day, or very cloudy. No direct sun. The sky is still pretty bright. WWhen you have a bright sky and darker foreground, it is tough to find the balance. Most cameras cant find that balance on "auto". Thats why they have that program with that little mountain picture. If you dont know what that means, sorry, look at your point and shoot. If you overexpose, the sky intrudes and the darker areas are washed out. If you underexpose, the darker foreground is too dark.

Again, look at the building in the background with sky around it as one extreme. Then look to the darker foreground as the other extreme. For this to be "right", you cant fully commit exposure too far in either direction. But, we arent trying to see the sky, so preference has to be to get a true, accurate exposure on everything else without getting the darker areas too dark.

Obviously these were "out of the box" and not adjusted. On that basis, iphone gave the best result of these four with the GalaxySII a decent second. If theRezound wasn't blue, it would be secound, and is second in exposure. It is getting dark on the street, which one looks more natural? Then look at the building and the sky around it.

I am no apple fan. They just have a great phone camera. The other 3 just need more adjustment to shoot this particular shot well. Video is a bear to take with this situation. They all did pretty well out of the box.

he was the guy in Dead Like Me, too, but I didnt make the connection to Princess Bride until recently... now that I know, it's all I can think of when I see him in anything.

I've come down off my WANT-ALL-THE-DOCKS high, now. I'm sure it'll come back when they become available to buy.
